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.

Product Description

The HC Dimmer is a MOSFET-switching light device that also supports control of low-voltage halogen lamps with electronic transformers, dimmable compact fluorescent lights, and dimmable LED bulbs. It measures power consumption of the connected device, and can be paired with a digital temperature sensor (sold separately). It supports push-button/momentary switches and toggle switches (default).

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.

FACTORY RESET1. Connect the device to the power supply2. Within the first minute (60 seconds) the device is connected to the power supply, toggle the switch connected to the I1 terminal 5 times within 3 seconds (5 times change switch state).ORIf the device is powered by 24 V SELV supply, press and hold the S (Service) button for at least 6 secondsBy resetting the device, all custom parameters previously set on the device will return to their default values, and the owner ID will be deleted. Use this reset procedure only when the main gateway (hub) is missing or otherwise inoperable.Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing 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

AUTOMATICALLY ADDING THE DEVICE TO A Z-WAVE NETWORK (AUTO INCLUSION)1. Enable add/remove mode on your Z-Wave gateway (hub)2. Connect the device to the power supply (with the temperature sensor already connectedsold separately*).3.

Switch off the power supply, connect the temperature sensor, and re-include the device to your network.NOTE2: When connecting temperature sensor to module that has already been included, you have to exclude module first. Switch off power supply, connect the sensor and re-include the module.

Exclusion

REMOVAL FROM A ZWAVE NETWORK (Z-WAVE EXCLUSION)1. Connect the device to the power supply2. Make sure the device is within direct range of your Z-Wave gateway (hub) or use a hand-held Z-Wave remote to perform exclusion3. Enable add/remove mode on your Z-Wave gateway (hub)4. Toggle the switch connected to the I1 terminal 3 times within 3 secondsORIf the device is powered by 24 V SELV supply, press and hold the S (Service) button between 2 and 6 seconds5. The device will be removed from your network but any custom configuration parameters will not be erased

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

of the output Q)
3| 16| Start level change/stop level change (triggered at change of the input I1 state and reflecting its state)
4| 16| Multilevel set (triggered at changes of state/value of the Flush Dimmer) up to 16 nodes
5| 16| Basic on/off (triggered at change of the input I2 state and reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes.
6| 16| Notification report (triggered at change of the input I2 state and reflecting its state)
7| 16| Binary sensor (triggered at change of the input I2 state and reflecting its state)
8| 16| Basic on/off (triggered at change of the input I3 state and reflecting its state)
9| 16| Notification report (triggered at change of the input I3 state and reflecting its state)
10| 16| Binary sensor report (triggered at change of the input I3 state and reflecting its state)
11| 16| Multilevel sensor report (triggered at change of temperature sensor)

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.
