Four Core Capabilities

Three panel optionsSelect 2, 4 or 6 keys by circuit and scene count
Multi-position operationCoordinate entrances, bedside positions, corridors and control rooms
Scene-based controlSingle circuits, all-on/all-off and multi-channel combinations
System expansionAdd controllers, energy acquisition, schedules and platform operations

Application Overview

Conventional mains wall switches work well for one-point circuit control, but multi-way switching and scene changes require more wiring and fixed logic. This architecture uses low-voltage wall panels as local operation points, keeps load switching in Zhenming controllers and can add schedules, energy data and remote operations.

Classrooms and meeting roomsOperate podium, seating, presentation and general lighting with teaching, meeting and cleaning scenes.
Hotels and apartmentsUse entrance, bedside and corridor panels for multi-way circuit and scene control.
Unmanned venues and study roomsKeep authorized local operation while booking, access and schedules automate daily use.
Exhibition and commercial spacesRun opening, guided tour, event, cleaning and closing lighting combinations.

System Flow

Business events, field control, acquisition and platform operations remain clearly separated and connected through project interfaces.

Operating Strategies

Basic switchingMap each key to one lighting or equipment circuit.
State toggleOperate the same circuit from different panel positions.
All-on/all-offUse one key to control multiple circuits in the current space.
Combined scenesCreate welcome, class, meeting, cleaning, duty and leaving states.
Schedule coordinationRun by timetable, business hours or holiday policy.
Remote inspectionReview controller status, circuits, logs and energy data centrally.

Zhenming Product Combination

Controllers execute switching and linkage, inputs collect field events, panels provide local operation, sensors and meters return field data, and the platform manages schedules, scenes, logs and permissions.

Panels provide local input while controllers switch the loads

The RS485 86-type smart switch panel uses 12V low-voltage dry-contact output and does not directly switch lighting or equipment loads. Select the relay controller according to circuit count, load type and network requirements, with suitable execution devices for high-power, inductive or capacitive loads.

Customer Value

Simpler multi-way wiringUse panel addresses and control logic to operate the same circuit from several locations.
Flexible scene changesRemap keys from single circuits to multi-channel combinations as operations change.
Local and remote operationProvide clear field controls and centralized platform inspection.
Phased upgradesStart with one room or cabinet, then add panels, energy and platform functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it use an existing 86-type wall box?

The panel uses an 86-type wall format. Installation planning should consider box depth, low-voltage wiring and the site finish.

How many panels can connect to one controller?

A compatible controller can connect up to eight panels. With six keys per panel, the system can organize up to 48 button actions.

How should the relay controller be selected?

Select Q series, RC series, QC8 or another compatible controller according to circuit count, load type, Ethernet or 4G access, platform and energy requirements.

Can it integrate with an existing BMS or platform?

Integration can use RS485, Ethernet, HTTP, MQTT, Modbus or project interfaces according to the selected controller and architecture.

Plan a solution around circuits, events and operations

Provide the site layout, circuit count, existing systems, communication conditions and deployment requirements for product selection.
