Selection Notes for B2B Projects

Panel KeysSelect 2, 4 or 6 keys according to the number of circuits and scenes required at each wall position.
Controller SelectionSelect a compatible Zhenming relay controller by circuit count, load type, Ethernet or 4G access and platform requirements.
Panel TopologyPlan unique RS485 addresses and low-voltage wiring when several panels operate the same circuits or scenes.

Integration and Deployment

Signal DefinitionConfirm the electrical signal, range, channel mapping and field terminal definition before cabinet design.
Bus PlanningPlan device address, communication parameters, cable route and host or gateway connection.
System MappingMap each channel to a clear sensor, actuator, meter or equipment object in the host system.
CommissioningVerify wiring, communication, data direction and control boundaries during system integration.

Relay Controller and Lighting Solution

The wall panel provides local keys and scene input. Zhenming relay controllers switch the field circuits, while meters and the IoT platform can add schedules, energy data, logs and remote operations.

Selection and system combinations

The wall panel provides local operation and scene selection; relay controllers switch the loads. Plan panel positions, key count and circuits before adding network control or dimming.

Product integration and applications

01

Match 2, 4 or 6 keys to local tasks

The 86-type panel provides a wall-mounted interface for lighting and equipment scenes. Select two, four or six keys for doors, corridors, rooms or duty points. A key can operate a circuit or a configured group on a compatible controller. Function labels such as normal lighting, cleaning, all-off or zone selection keep field operation clear.

02

Use wall panels for operation and controllers for switching

The panel uses the specified 12V low-voltage interface and works with compatible controllers through RS485 and the corresponding contact signals. Relay circuits in the controller carry out load switching. Align panel keys, cabinet wiring and platform channel names. Multiple operation points can serve one light group within the selected controller’s supported panel configuration.

Put scene operation where it is needed

Place meeting, presentation or departure actions at room entrances, exhibition-zone keys near the relevant area, and common-area control at duty desks. The platform handles cross-device policies and logs, panels provide quick local operation, and controllers execute outputs. Plan keys and panel locations from user routes and zone boundaries.

Selection questions

Does each key control only one light circuit?

A key can be configured for a circuit, multiple channels or a scene through a compatible controller.

Does the panel directly carry lighting mains?

The panel is the 12V low-voltage operation layer. The paired controller’s relay circuits switch the load.

Selection FAQ

How should the 2, 4 and 6-key options be selected?Select by the number of circuits and scenes required at each location. Two keys suit basic control, four keys suit multi-circuit rooms, and six keys provide more scene entries.
How many panels can connect to one controller?A compatible Zhenming controller can connect up to eight panels, each using a unique RS485 address.
Does the panel switch the lighting load directly?No. The panel provides a 12V low-voltage dry-contact input, while the selected relay controller switches the lighting or equipment load.
