Old electrical appliances must
not be disposed of together with
residual waste, but have to be
disposed of separately. The disposal
at the communal collecting point
via private persons is for free.
The owner of old appliances is
responsible to bring the appliances
to these collecting points or to
similar collection points. With this
little personal effort, you contribute
to recycle valuable raw materials and
the treatment of toxic substances.

Lightwave Sockets should have an excellent communication
range within a typical home, however, if you encounter any
range issues, try to ensure that large metal objects or bodies
of water (e.g. radiator) are not positioned in front of the
socket or in between socket and the Lightwave Link Plus.

The easiest way to learn how to install the
Lightwave Socket is to watch our short
installation video which is accessible at
Turn off the mains power supply to your existing power
circuit at the consumer unit.
1.1 Turn off the mains electricity supply
Unscrew the existing socket and remove the wires. It is often a
good idea to take a quick photo of the existing wiring conguration.
This can help you to remember which wires connect to which
terminals if there are more than two, or if they are not distinctly
labelled. The existing wiring should be colour coded and arranged
as per the wiring diagram provided in these instructions, however,
please be aware that not all existing wiring will conform to this
standard and may differ.
1.2 Remove the existing socket
Remove the faceplate from the Lightwave Socket by
carefully inserting a screwdriver into the small slot
located at the bottom edge of the cover.
1.3 Remove the faceplate
Carefully wire the socket as shown in the
diagram. Be aware that existing cables
can vary in colour and may not always be
correctly labelled. If in any doubt, always
consult a qualied electrician. Replace the
faceplate by hooking it onto the top edge of
the Socket and clipping in the bottom.
1.4 Wire the socket
To be able to command the Socket,
you will need to link it to the Link Plus.
Please follow the in-app instructions which will explain
how to link devices.
On the Socket, press and hold down one of the ‘on’ / ‘off’ buttons
until the LED ashes blue and red alternately then release it.
The Socket is now in linking mode.
Using the Lightwave App, press the button you want to link to (the
App instructions will guide you through this). The blue light on the
Socket switch will ash to conrm that it is now linked to the App.

functions
3Unlinking the Socket (clear memory)
To unlink the Socket and clear the memory, enter linking mode by
holding down the on/off button until the LED ashes red. Release
the button, then hold it for a second time until the LED ashes red
to conrm that the memory has been cleared.
Locking the Socket
The Socket can be ‘locked’ using the App so that the manual
buttons will not operate it. If it is locked on, then the Socket will
not turn off manually. A locked socket is signied by a slow ashing
magenta LED. To lock / unlock the Socket, press the ‘lock’ button
on the Smartphone App. Clearing the memory will remove the
lock.
Changing the colour of the indicator LED
The colour of the LED indicator lights on the socket can be
changed or the LED turned off using the Lightwave App. See the
App for more details.
Firmware updates
Firmware updates are over-the-air software improvements that
keep your device up to date as well as providing new features.
Updates can be approved from the App before being implemented,
and generally take 2-5 minutes. The LED will ash cyan in colour
during an update. Please do not interrupt the process during this
time.
Error reporting
A permanently ashing red LED indicates that a software or
hardware error has been encountered. Press the on/off button to
reset the indicator LED. If the error light persists, please contact
Lightwave support via www.lightwaverf.com/support.
