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

Heatit Z-Dim is a Z-Wave rotary dimmer for many different types of light sources.The Heatit Z-Dim works on low loads without causing the lights to flicker. It dims LED-bulbs from 1-200VA, 230V halogen and incandescent bulbs, dimable LED-drivers and electronic transformers. The dimmer is not affected by startup inrush currents. L+N leads must be connected.The dimmer is equipped with a multiway switching option. This allows you to light and dim a light source from one dimmer, and later turn it off with another one. Very practical for stairwells, long hallways etc. The dimmer fits into standard Gira System 55 frame systems.

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.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

By pressing and holding the main button for 20 seconds, the dimmer will perform” a complete factory reset. The connected light source will blink once and go in the” “”OFF”” state if successfully reset.

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

Installation must be done by a qualified electrical installer by following the National” Building codes. Before installation, disconnect any power to the dimmer mains. During” the installation process, power to the dimmer must be disconnected” AT ALL TIMES!

1. Disconnect the power.

2. Connect the live to the dimmer terminal marked “L”.

3. Connect the neutral to the dimmer terminal marked “N”.

4. Connect the neutral to the load terminal marked “N”.

5. Connect the load terminal marked “L” to the dimmer terminal marked ~ (see wiring diagram).

L.. Power connection (Live) 230V

LO..” Load connection

S.. Multiway switch function (Momentary switch)

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

When the primary controller is set to add/remove modus press the main button” on the dimmer 6 times in a rapid sequence.

Exclusion

When the primary controller is set to add/remove modus press the main button” on the dimmer 6 times in a rapid sequence.

Product Usage

Rotary dimmer for many types of light sources. It dims LED-bulbs from 1-200VA, 230V” halogen and incandescent bulbs, dimmable LED-drivers and electronic transformers. Do” not use the dimmer for inductive loads as fluorescent lighting, fans or linear transformers.” Electronic equipment must be installed by an authorized electrician.

Control

Turn: Dimming

Press: ON / OFF

Calibration

Heatit Z-Dim may need to be calibrated after installation. To get the Heatit Z-Dim dimmer” calibrated the following procedure should be performed after installation.

1. Add the dimmer to your Z-Wave network.

2. Turn the wheel counterclockwise to get the lowest brightness level.

3. Adjust Parameter 2 “Minimum Dim level” according to your needs.

4. Turn the wheel clockwise to get the highest brightness level.

5. Adjust Parameter 3 “Maximum Dim level” according to your needs.

Scene Controller:

Heatit Z-Dim supports Central Scene Command Class. This allows you to run various” scenes defined in the primary controller.

Altering Parameter 5 and 6 will change the functionality of the Heatit Z-Dim.

Action Attribute

2 clicks Key Pressed 2 times

3 clicks Key Pressed 3 times

4 clicks Key Pressed 4 times

5 clicks Key Pressed 5 times

Power Metering

The Heatit Z-Dim has functionality to calculate power consumption. To enable this function, Parameter 1 “Connected load” should have a value greater than 0. This is an estimated value, therefor power consumption accuracy depends on load estimation.

1. Estimate the load value (Watt) connected to the Heatit Z-Dim.

2. Use this value in Parameter 1.

Heatit Z-Dim can report accumulated (kWh) and instant (Watt), or only instant (Watt)” power consumption. The report time interval can be altered by Parameter 9.

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.

Association Groups:

Group NumberMaximum NodesDescription

1| 8| Z-Wave Plus Lifeline Supports the following command classes: Meter Report: triggered according to Configuration Switch Multilevel Central Scene Device Reset Locally: triggered upon request
---|---|---
2| 8| Basic Set: triggered at change of output and reflecting its state.
3| 8| Binary Switch Set: triggered at change of output and reflecting its ON/OFF state.

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
