Important safety information

Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law.
The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material.

What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two- way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes
( meshed network ) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the
transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

Product Description

The Duwi Dimmer Flush Mountable is a wireless actuator able to dim lights up to 300 W. The device is delivered as a complete set with flush mountable insert, paddle and mounting frame compatible with the design of the Duwi switching series  Everlux in standard white. The paddle of the device is used to control the device. The status of the dimmer is indicated on a dual color LED for test purposes. For dimming the devices apply leading edge phase cutting with a special alignment algorithm for inductive loads. Therefore, it is possible to dim incandescent lamps, high voltage halogen lights and low voltage halogen lights with traditional transformer. Low voltage halogen lights with switching power supply, LEDs and CFLs must not be attached. This device is designed for a 2 wire system. There is no need for a neutral wire in the wall box.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country- specific
installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of
the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Installation

The insert is designed to fit into standard circular European wall boxes with 60 mm diameter. The insert combined with the mounting plate can be screwed in top of the wall box using the two screws delivered with the device. The mounting frame is then attached to the mounting plate and the switch is completed by pushing the switching paddle into the mounting frame. Mind the arrow on the inserts top side showing the mounting direction of the insert. It is also possible to mount the insert without any local operation behind a cover or inside a lamp. The mounting plate, frame and the switching paddle become useless in such a scenario.

The schematics below shows how to wire the actuator. The hot wired from the mains distribution panel is connected to the inserts contacts L. The contact S is the switched contact and need to be connected to the cable to the load. The cable from the load is connected to neutral N. If there are both neutral and hot wire in the wall box the neutral from the mains panel and the neutral to the lamp need to be connected. It is not harmful if the two connections L and S are mismatched on the actuator.

A fuse protects the electronics of the actuator. The fuse is accessible on the top side of the device. Inside the plug there is the working fuse plus a spare fuse.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

Blinking red/green LED indicates that the device is in factory reset state. Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode triple click one of the buttons on the device will include the device. A green blinking of LED will indicate successful inclusion that will be turned off shortly afterwards. The device is excluded by triple click to one of the buttons when the controller is in exclusion mode.

Exclusion

Blinking red/green LED indicates that the device is in factory reset state. Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode triple click one of the buttons on the device will include the device. A green blinking of LED will indicate successful inclusion that will be turned off shortly afterwards. The device is excluded by triple click to one of the buttons when the controller is in exclusion mode.

Product Usage

The actuator is operated by the local switching paddles or wirelessly using Z-Wave commands (communication patterns 1, 4, 5 and 7). If the insert is mounted correctly pushing the upper part of the paddle will turn on the load; pushing the lower part of the paddle will turn off the electric load. Keeping the paddle pushed will dim up or dim down the load.

The device is also able to remotely operate other devices (communication pattern 5) by sending wireless Z-Wave commands. In case the remote device is a switch as well the remote operation is similar to the local operation by pushing upper to lower part of the switching paddle.

• Red and green blinking continuously: Device is not included in a Z-Wave network
• Red lights up for 3 seconds: Device was not included/excluded after being put into learn mode by triple press of up/down button
• Green lights up for 3 seconds: The inclusion/exclusion was successful or new association was saved successfully
• Green or no light: depending on settings of configuration parameter for LED control

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

• Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network.
  Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.

• Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network.
  Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.

• Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
  a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.

• Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.

• Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.

• Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
  a controlled device.

• Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
  device to announces that is able to communicate.

• Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
  Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
