Using Light Module 4C 5 A with sensors to control lights
Did you know that you can turn your house lights on or off just by walking?
Freedompro Light Module is the perfect solution to make your home lighting system smart without using buttons and switches to control and manage your lights using voice, smartphone apps, automations or, as in this case, motion or occupancy sensors.
Warnings
Please read the following warnings carefully before proceeding:
The installation of the device should be done carefully by a qualified electrician.
Any changes to the wiring should be made only after ensuring that there is no voltage in the electrical system.
Install the device in a protected, dry environment and inside the building.
Do not connect devices that exceed the maximum load indicated to the module.
Install the module only on electrical grids and devices that comply with current standards.
A short circuit in the power grid or in any device connected to the module may damage it.
Connect the module only as indicated in this manual. Any other method may cause damage and void the warranty.
Install on the AC side of the device a 20 A circuit breaker with an impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) of at least 4 kV and compatible voltage rating.
The device can be connected with heat-resistant (not less than 105 °C) 18-12 AWG solid conductor wires.
Neutral fuse: Disconnect mains power before servicing.
Follow the wiring diagram shown exactly.
If the instructions in this manual are not followed correctly, malfunctions, health and life hazards, violation of laws, or voiding of legal and/or commercial warranties (if any) may occur.
Output loads must be connected to the same supply voltage as the device.
Installation
The smart Light Module 4C 5 A device is designed and developed to be installed in junction boxes or even in the switchboard. The design also is made to be hooked to the DIN rail located inside the junction box or in the switchboard—if it is possible.
Freedompro recommends installing the Light Module 4C 5 A device inside the junction box with the aim of simplifying and speeding up the installation phase because of the high probability of the presence of the wiring needed to complete the process.
Connections
Danger of electrocution!
Caution, changes to connections should be made only and only after making sure that there is no voltage on the terminals of the device!
Place the smart device inside a junction box or in the electrical panel, if possible attaching it to the DIN rail;
Remove the terminal covers with the help of a flathead screwdriver;
Connect the wire feeding the light you want to control to terminal O1;
Connect the wire coming from the sensor, which was previously directly connected to the light to terminal S1;
Connect the wires (Phase and Neutral) to terminals L and N to power the module, as shown in the diagram below;
Verify that the wiring is correct;
Reattach the covers to the terminals;
Restore power to the electrical system.

How to manage lights connected with sensors
With this type of installation, it is necessary to set the command type "Sensor" or " Inverted Sensor" for the involved channels within the Freedompro app.
At this point, the Light module is working and ready to use by voice and remotely without using the physical switches and buttons.
All you have to do is complete the pairing with the Freedompro app to get the most out of your Freedompro device. Follow this brief guide to find out how to pair a Freedompro device with the app.
