  • Page 2: Warnings And General Precautions

    • CAUTION! – This manual contains important instructions and warnings for personal safety. Carefully read all parts of this manual. If in doubt, suspend installation immediately and contact Nice Technical Assistance. • CAUTION! – Important instructions: keep this manual in a safe place to enable future product maintenance and disposal pro- cedures.
  • Page 3 Without dimming function, it may work with: • compact fluorescent CFL tube lamps with electronic ballast • fluorescent tube lamps with electronic ballast • LED bulbs (power factor > 0.7) • supported light sources (power factor > 0.5) with minimal power of 5VA using LED Adaptor (depending on the type of load) Applied load and Dimmer-Control itself may be damaged if the applied load is inconsistent with the technical specifications! When connecting Dimmer-Control act in accordance with the following rules: •...

    Fig. 4. Wiring diagram - 3-way switch connection Note. It is not recommended to install different types of wall switches (momentary, toggle, etc.) in a 3-way connection. Fig. 5. Wiring diagram - momentary wall switches connection Note. After switching on the mains voltage LED indicator will signal Z-Wave network inclusion state with a colour: GREEN - device added, RED - device not added, RED/GREEN ALTERNATELY - Z-Wave error.
  • Page 7: Removing The Device

    REMOVING THE DEVICE Removing (Exclusion) - Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to remove the device from existing Z-Wave network. Removing the device restores all the default parameters of the device, but does not reset power metering data. To remove the device from the Z-Wave network: 1.
  • Page 8 • enter the MENU mode (confirmed by the LED indicator) 8.5 - MENU mode & visual indications: Dimmer-Control has a MENU with each position indicated by the specified LED indicator colour. In order to enter the menu press the B-button and hold for at least 2 seconds.
  • Page 9 Make sure that the device is connected to the power supply. Press and hold the B-button for a few seconds, until LED indicator glows GREEN. Release the B-button. Press the B-button briefly. Energy consumption memory has been erased. Table A3 - Table of power measurement accuracy 3-wire connection 2-wire connection Load type...
  • Page 10: Error Modes

    Z-Wave range tester signalling modes: Visual indicator pulsing green - the device attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
  • Page 11: Additional Functionality

    3 - ALARM FLASHING - the device periodically changes its status to the opposite when it detects an alarm (lights on/off alternately) ADVANCED PARAMETERS Dimmer-Control allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The settings are available in the NICE interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.
  • Page 12 Available settings: 0-255 (0-25.5s) Default setting: Parameter size: 2 [bytes] Parameter: 5. Automatic control - dimming step size Description: This parameter defines the percentage value of dimming step during the automatic control. Automatic control is performed through: - single push-button click - double push-button click - Z-Wave control frames Available settings:...
  • Page 13 Default setting: Parameter size: 1 [byte] Parameter: 15. Burnt out bulb detection Description: Function based on the sudden power variation of a specific value, interpreted as a LOAD ERROR. Parameter 15 is relevant only when parameter 58 is set to 0 and the control mode is consistent with the mode set during the calibration process (parameter 30).
  • Page 14 Description: Parameter determines, which actions will not result in sending frames to association groups. Parameter 25 values may be combined, e.g. 1+2=3 means that associations on switching ON or OFF Dimmer-Control (single click) will not be sent. Available settings: 0 - all actions send to association groups 1 - do not send when switching ON (single click) 2 - do not send when switching OFF (single click) 4 - do not send when changing dimming level (holding and releasing)
  • Page 15 Available settings: 0 - on/off mode disabled (dimming is possible) 1 - on/off mode enabled (dimming is not possible) 2 - mode selected automatically Default setting: Parameter size: 1 [byte] Parameter: 33. Dimmability of the load (read only) Description: This parameter contains an information about possibility of dimming the load detected during calibration proce- dure.
  • Page 16 Parameter: 41. Response to Water Flooding Alarm Available settings: 0 - No reaction 1 - Turn on the load 2 - Turn off the load 3 - Load blinking Default setting: Parameter size: 1 [byte] Parameter: 42. Response to Smoke, CO or CO2 Alarm Available settings: 0 - No reaction 1 - Turn on the load...
  • Page 17 Description: Parameter 52 defines a time period between consecutive reports. Timer is reset and counted from zero after each report. Available settings: 0 - periodic reports disabled 1-32767 (1-32767 seconds) Default setting: 3600 (3600s) Parameter size: 2 [bytes] Parameter: 53. Energy reports Description: Energy level change which will result in sending a new energy report.
