CAUTION

This is an electrical device - please use caution when installing and 
operating the MultiRelay. Remote control of appliances may result in 
unintentional or automated activation of power.

WIRING: READ IT!

This 

device 

is intended for installation in accordance with 

the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is 
recommended that a licensed electrician perform this 
installation. USE A SINGLE POWER SOURCE AT ALL TIMES.

BEFORE YOU 

INSTALL

1. CHECK THE LOAD: 

make sure that the connected appliance does not 

exceed 

20

 A for 

normally open relays or 10 A for normally closed relays

.

2. POWER OFF:

 turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before 

you start. If handling wiring from a box with multiple circuits, turn 
power off at all of the circuits.

3. REMOVE THE WALL SWITCH: 

if the load is currently controlled by a 

wall switch, carefully remove it from the box and disconnect the wires 
from the switch.

4. CONNECT THE 

UNIVERSAL 

RELAY:

 

follow 

the instructions in the 

appropriate diagram for your set-up

If you can’t find your scenario in 

the diagrams below, please request custom instructions from our 
support team, we’re happy to help:

WIRING TIPS

µ

Before you disconnect any wires, document your set-up and send us 
images of your existing installation so we can help if needed.

@

Always use the correct screwdriver size for the terminal screws on your 
Universal Relay and wall switches (if connecting them). Use appropriate 
electrical tools when cutting, prepping, and stripping electrical wires. If 
you don’t have the necessary tools to perform the installation or are not 
sure which tools to use or how, please hire an electrician to complete 
the installation for you.

~

Follow the National Electrical Code and your local safety regulations 
when performing the installation, including (but not limited to), choo-
sing the correct gauge of jumper wires. The recommended gauge for 15 
Amp circuits is 14 AWG and 12 AWG for 20 Amp circuits.

SAFETY FIRST

HOW TO SECURE WIRES IN TERMINALS: 

first, unscrew the appropriate 

terminal’s screw just far enough so there is a clear opening in the termi-
nal for the wire to go in. Make sure the wire is stripped at the right length 
and perfectly straight before you insert it into the terminal. Once you 
put the wire in the terminal, carefully screw the terminal screw back in 
to hold down the wire. Check the connection by gently pulling on the 
connected wire to make sure it’s fixed securely.

5. POWER THE UNIVERSAL RELAY: 

connect the USB C power source to 

the MultiRelay 

or

 use the 

“+” “-” terminals on the device to bring low 

voltage power to it

.

 

Never use both at the same time. 

In both cases 

you’ll need a standard 1 A power adapter to plug into a standard 120 
VAC receptacle. 

Do NOT use with laptop or tablet chargers

, they 

require a large battery on load to activate.

WHAT’S WHAT

INPUT TERMINALS

RELAY TERMINALS

S1 C: 

wall switch to control R1 or dry contact sensor to monitor leaks 

(max 40k Ohm when on), open/close status, or motion.

12-24 V DC / AC input to control R1. 

NEVER use C VC and S1 C 

VC

together! 

Only one type of input can be used at any given time.

S2 C: 

wall switch to control R2 or dry contact sensor to monitor leaks, 

open/close status, or motion.

12-24 V DC / AC input to control R2. NEVER use C VC and S1 C 

VC

together! Only one type of input can be used at any given time.

NC C R1: 

normally closed relay controlling any load up to 10 A.

NO C R1: 

normally open relay controlling any load up to 20 A.

NC C R2: 

normally closed relay controlling any load up to 10 A.

NO C R2: 

normally open relay controlling any load up to 20 A.

input on the lights.

SPRINKLERS: 

one leg from power supply to R1 C, the other leg from 

power supply to sprinkler valve; R1 NO to the other input on the 
valve. Automate up to 2 zones with R1 and R2.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER: 

2 bell wires from the opener to R1 C and R1 

NO; 2 wires from the wall switch to S1 and C.

LOW-VOLTAGE ALARM INPUT: 

12-24 V wires to C and VC terminals.

LEAK ALARM INPUT: 

water sensor wires to S1 and C (max 40k Ohm)

DOOR SENSOR INPUT: 

open/close sensor wires to S1 and C.

WIRING GUIDE

1 POWER SUPPLY AT A TIME

Never use USB C and 12-24 V power supply together. Double power 
source will damage the device. 

1 INPUT TYPE AT A TIME

Never connect inputs to S1 C and VC C for the same relay. Each relay 
can only have a single input type. 

NO VOLTAGE ON “S” TERMINALS

The only input terminals that accept voltage are the C VC terminals.
