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

Product Description

The Standalone Mosfet Dimmer is a mosfet dimmer for concealed in-wall mounting. The device is exclusively Z-Wave controllable, which can handle dimmable loads up to 300W. The dimmer can operate in both Leading and Tailing Edge mode, which makes it capable of controlling most dimmable Lights on the market. All dimmer properties are configurable, making it possible to accurately customize the dimmer to the properies of the controlled Light Fixtures.The device supports power measurement, reporting both instant and accumulated power consumption over time.

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.

WARNING! Executing a Factory Reset on a device may make it stop working as wanted, and will disable remote control of the device. The device will have to be re-added to the Z-Wave network and reconfigured afterwards, to regain the previous operation of the device. Please DO NOT execute this procedure unless it is absolutely necessary.Push and Hold the Add/Remove button for about 15 secondsuntil the LED indicator turns OFF. Then release the button. The device is now Factory Reset, and removed from the Z-Wave network.The button is located about 10 mm down in the middle of the three holes on the front. A thin tool (a very small screwdriver, a toothpick, a paper clip or similar) is needed to access the button.

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

To add the device to a Z-Wave network, the Z-Wave Controller must first be set into Add (Learn) mode. Then use a paperclip or a small pointy tool to push and hold the button in the button hole for approximately a second. The device LED will blink twice to indicate that it sends information to the Controller.

Exclusion

To remove the device from a Z-Wave network, the Z-Wave Controller must first be set into Remove mode. Then use a paperclip or a small pointy tool to push and hold the button in the button hole for approximately a second. The device LED will blink twice to indicate that it sends information to the Controller.

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| 5| The Lifeline group where all Root Device events are reported.All unsolicited Reports for the supported command classeswill be issued to this group.Commands Issued:- Sensor Multilevel Report – Reports Power Consumption andTemperatures- Meter – Reports power consumption to the Controller every15 minutes.- Device Reset LocallyReports factory resets to theController

2| 5| Associated devices will be controlled according to local statechanges. Supports Multichannel Association in addition tostandard association.Command Issued: Basic 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: Hardware Combination Identifier

READ-ONLY: Identifier which uniquely identifies the SE Devices hardware combination. Always return value 18 (0x12) for this device.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 18

SettingDescription

Parameter 10: Dimming Speed

Defines the u0022fadeu0022 time when setting a dim level from a controller. Fade time is defined as the time it takes to dim from MIN level to MAX level, which means an increase of 10% in light level takes 1/10th of the configured time. The value defines the dim time in 1/100’th of a second, which means a value of 200 means the Dimming Speed is 2.0 seconds from MIN to MAX. Max time is 327.67 seconds (almost 5 and a half minute). Values below 30 (0.3 seconds) are ignored and values below 100 (1 second) are discouraged.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 300

SettingDescription

Parameter 11: Dimmer Mode

Defines if Dimmer should operate in Leading or Tailing Edge mode. Most Lights work quite OK in the default Leading Edge mode, but this mode also usually cause some noise from the dimmer unit. During installation it is therefore recommended to try TE mode, and use this if the Light operates properly. Tailing Edge mode is known to cause instability in some LED type Lights! 0 – Leading Edge Mode (LE)1 – Leading Edge Mode (TE)
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 12: Maximum Level

The Maximum Light level of the dimmer. Typically there is no visible difference when the dimming level reaches a point in the range 75 – 90, and the installer should set this value to the lowest value where no change is visible. The default value of 90 is usually OK.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 90

SettingDescription

Parameter 13: Minimum Level

The Minimum Light Level of the dimmer. This should be adjusted so the controlled Light is still ON and stable. Remember that LED type lights may work if dimmed down to a low value, but may not start if the light is turned OFF and ON again.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 15

SettingDescription

Parameter 16: Back Unit Type

READ-ONLY: Identifies the local functionality of devices in the SE Devices product range. Always return value 2 for Mosfet Dimmer functionality.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 2

SettingDescription

Parameter 44: Cold Start Minimum Level

Sets the minimum level the Dimmer should go to when the light is switched ON. If the last dimmer value is lower than this setting, the dimmer will first go to the configured Cold Start level, before returning to the target level. This is typically used for LED lamps which does not switch ON correctly when the dimming level is at the Minimum.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 20
