for
.
To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.
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.

Product Description
The Inovelli Red Series Dimmer is a Z-Wave in-wall dimmer that controls attached LED, CFL, & Incandescent lighting which can be highly customized to your liking at the switch itself with our unique config button and advanced firmware. The switch can also be used either with or without a neutral wire. In addition, the Red Series comes with advanced features such as scene support, power monitoring, notifications, local protection, etc.
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.
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.
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| Lifeline: Members of this group will receive unsolicited messages
related to the status of the switch
---|---|---
2| 5| Sends start and stop level change to associated devices.(1. Single press
UP button sends BasicSet (0xFF) and 2. Single press Down sends BasicSet (0x00)
3| 5| Sends dim/brighten commands to associated devices when switch is
pressed.(1. Hold & Release Up button sends SwitchMultiLevelSet which keeps
associated devices in sync with this device and 2. Hold & Release Down button
sendsSwitchMultiLevelSet which keeps associated devices in sync with this
device and 3. Single press Up button sends SwitchMultiLevelSet(0xFF) and 4.
Single pressDown button sends SwitchMultiLevelSet(0x00)
4| 5| Sends start and stop level change to associated devices.(1. Hold Up
button sends SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_START_LEVEL_CHANGE (Dim Up) and 2. Release Up
button sends SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_STOP_LEVEL_CHANGEand 3: Hold Down button sends
SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_START_LEVEL_CHANGE (Dim Down) and 4: Release Down button
sendsSWITCH_MULTILEVEL_STOP_LEVEL_CHANGE)
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: Dimming Speed
How fast or slow the light turns on when you hold the switch (ie: dimming
from 10-20%, 80-60%, etc). Example of how the values work: 0 – Instant On, 1 =
1 second, 100 = 100 seconds. This parameter can be set without a HUB from the
Configuration Button. Finally, if you are using a, u0022dumbu0022 switch in a
3-Way setting, this parameter will not work if you manually press the dumb
switch (it will only work if you press the smart switch).
