SKU: NLB60Z_ZWA
Quickstart
This is a ****
Light Dimmer
for
U.S. / Canada / Mexico.
To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.
To add this device to your network execute the following action:
1. Turn Off power to the light bulb socket2. Screw in the light bulb3. Place
your network controller into inclusion mode by following the controller
manufacturer’s instructions4. Turn On power to the light bulb.If successful,
the LED light bulb will flash twice to indicate successful inclusion.5. If the
controller/gateway shows it was a fail, repeat the procedure.Note: If
Inclusion still fails after the 2nd attempt, you need to first RESET the dt
Smart Bulb before repeating the above steps.
Please refer to the
Manufacturers
Manual
for more information.
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.
Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal
instructions.
Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.
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.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc.
please refer

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.
You may manually reset the light bulb as follows:1.Flick the wall switch OFF- ON 4 times within 4 seconds. 2. The dt Smart Bulb will flash twice after Reset is successful.Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is lost or otherwise inoperable.
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.
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
1. Turn Off power to the light bulb socket2. Screw in the light bulb3. Place your network controller into inclusion mode by following the controller manufacturer’s instructions4. Turn On power to the light bulb.If successful, the LED light bulb will flash twice to indicate successful inclusion.5. If the controller/gateway shows it was a fail, repeat the procedure.Note: If Inclusion still fails after the 2nd attempt, you need to first RESET the dt Smart Bulb before repeating the above steps.
Exclusion
1. Turn off power to the light bulb socket2. Follow the network controller instruction to place your network controller into exclusion mode to remove the dt light bulb from the network.3. After being prompted by the network controller, turn On power to the light bulb.If successful, the LED light bulb will flash twice to indicate successful inclusion.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- 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| 5| NLB60Z supports Group 1 with up to ve devices for lifeline
communication. Group 1 must be assigned the Node ID of the controller to which
unsolicited notications will be sent. The Z-Wave controller should set this
association automatically after inclusion. Lifeline association only supports
the manual reset event. Please refer to the instructions manual of your remote
controller or gateway for detail procedures on how these function can be set.

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.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768
may
needed to be given as negative values too.
Parameter 1: Dim level when the light bulb is turned On
You may select the Dim level whenever the light is turned back ON to be
either full brightness (100% dim level) or be the same as the last dim setting
when the light was previously ON.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0
SettingDescription
1| The brightness level will maintain same dim level as the last setting when
the dt Smart Bulb is turned ON again.
---|---
0| The brightness level will be resume to full brightness when the dt Smart
Bulb is turned ON every time.

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.
