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: •...

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.
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.

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...
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.
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.

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:...

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)

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.

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.
