1 connected axial dimmer module
1 Installation manual (for the complete version of the installation and user
manual, scan the QR code).
GENERAL INFORMATION
Connected flush-mounting device with two front push-buttons with axial
activation, for commanding and regulating incandescent, halogen, LED and
fluorescent lamps (240V AC, 4-150W), and for loads controlled by electronic
transformers (240V AC, 4-150VA). Trailing edge load control mode. There are
two axial push-buttons on the front of the device, for switching on and off
(short press) and for regulating the brightness of the connected load (long
press). If used in combination with the EGO SMART PLATE, two additional ZigBee
commands (activated using the front push-buttons of the device when the dual
or “SHIFT” function is enabled via the EGO SMART PLATE) can be sent. The
device can be combined, and commanded via ZigBee, with all the connected
ZigBee devices including the 4-command push-button panel (GWA1291). It works
as a ZigBee “router” – in other words, it forwards ZigBee messages to other
devices.
It has 2 inputs (to which auxiliary axial commands, traditional push-buttons
and one way switches, sensors, etc. can be connected) for replicating the
local command and regulation of the load connected to it, or for sending
ZigBee commands and statuses.
If the button keys are not assembled, the front push-button can be accessed (
see Fig. C and G, point ①); when pressed with insulated tools for electric
tasks up to 2500V AC, it opens and closes the ZigBee network and also resets
the factory conditions/configuration on the device (Factory Reset).
NOTES: The device must be completed with one of the two types of front
button key available: with diffuser or designed to allow the insertion of one
of the lenses with the symbol (lens codes GW105xxA). GWA1221 must be completed
with the GW1x553S (lens not included) or GW1x557S button key; GWA1222 must be
completed with the GW1x554S (lenses not included) or GW1x558S button key.
FUNCTIONS
The device receives and implements commands and makes regulations regarding the load connected to the output. The command may be:
- ON/OFF
- Relative regulation of the brightness (brightness increase/decrease, regulation end)
- Absolute regulation of the brightness (set brightness % value)
- ON (TIMED) / OFF
- SCENE
ON/OFF
When the ON or Toggle command is received, the device switches the load on and
brings it to the stored brightness value (i.e. the last value applied to the
output via any command prior to switch-off).
When the OFF or Toggle command is received, the device switches the load off.
The required brightness value and load switch-off are obtained in a gradual or
immediate way.
RELATIVE BRIGHTNESS REGULATION
The brightness level of the load can be regulated by means of a long press on
the front push-buttons of the dimmer (the upper push-button to increase the
brightness, or the lower one to reduce it).
ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS REGULATION
The brightness level of the load can be regulated via the app, selecting the
required value.
Regulating the load control maximum and minimum
Via the app, it is possible to regulate the maximum and minimum load control
values so they correspond to the minimum and maximum brightness thresholds of
the load used.
These values should also be regulated to avoid any flickering during the
regulation of the load brightness level.
ON (TIMED) / OFF
When this command is received, the device switches on the load and, at the
same time, activates the timer count at the end of which the load is switched
OFF. The length of the timing can be regulated via the app.
SCENE
The device can store and execute one scene or more, associating a status
(ON/OFF) and a clearly defined target brightness level with each one.
The maximum number of scenes that can be managed is 16.
Switching associated with a presence/movement sensor
The device can activate the load following the detection of movement/presence
by a remote sensor. When the remote sensor detects movement/presence, the
device switches the load on and brings it to the pre-set brightness value. Up
to 5 sensors can be managed simultaneously.
Switching associated with a binary sensor
The device activates/deactivates the load when a general remote sensor changes
its status and signals that change (true/false). Up to 5 sensors can be
managed simultaneously.
Auxiliary inputs
The device has two independent auxiliary inputs that can be used to control
the local load (in addition to the front push-button) or to send independent
ZigBee commands to other implementation devices in the ZigBee network. These
two auxiliary inputs can both be connected to the phase or neutral (but it is
not permitted to connect one to phase and the other to neutral – see Fig. L,
2 ).
Each input can fulfil one of the functions listed below:
- Control of a local load
- Sending of commands or ZigBee status
- ON/OFF/TOGGLE command
- Timed ON command (stair raiser light)
- Wired sensor status (binary status 0/1)
- Command for curtains and roller shutters with a single or double push-button with or without hold-to-run management
- Command of a dimmer with single or double push-button
- Alarm
- Scene command
Dual function (SHIFT)
If the device is mounted in an EGO SMART PLATE, it can manage a second
function associated with the pressing of the two front button keys. When the
“SHIFT” function is enabled on the EGO SMART PLATE, the pressing of one of the
front button keys determines the sending of two distinct commands or ZigBee
scenes to other devices in the system.
Front status signalling LED
Customisation of the LED brightness in the two load statuses – on and off
(night-time localisation).
STATUS NOTIFICATIONS
LED| Status
Fixed red| Device not configured
Flashing red| Overload alarm*
Fixed yellow| Device start-up or overtemperature alarm**
Fixed blue (100% brightness)| Normal operation (default): load ON
Fixed blue (50% brightness)| Normal operation (default): load OFF
Flashing blue| Brightness regulation in progress
Fixed green| ZigBee network opening
Alternating green/red| Reset to default
Alarms
- Overload: if excessive absorption is detected, the load is deactivated and the LED flashes red (one flash per second). After eliminating the cause, send a command to the device via the app or directly (locally). The device will run a test to check that the alarm condition has been resolved. The load is brought to the maximum brightness value for 15 seconds, during which time the LED flashes red (three flashes per second). If the alarm condition has been resolved, the load will go back to the condition requested via the last command, and the LED will show the load status again.
**Overtemperature: when internal overheating is detected, the load is brought to 10% of the brightness value and the LED turns yellow. The device only recognises the OFF command. The LED remains fixed yellow until the procedure to verify the resolution of the alarm is launched. After eliminating the cause of the alarm, send a command to the device via the app or directly (locally). When the device receives the command, it brings the load to the maximum brightness value for 15 seconds, during which time the LED flashes yellow (one flash per second). If the temperature remains below the alarm threshold, the load will go back to the condition requested via the last command, and the LED will show the load status again.
Opening/closing the ZigBee network
To open the ZigBee network (Permit Join activation) and allow the other
devices to join it, press the front push-button once ( see Fig. C and G,
point ①). The front LED will turn green. Press again to close the network.
In any case, the ZigBee network will be closed 15 minutes after being opened.
Factory reset
To reset the device and restore the factory conditions, press the central
local push-button ( see Fig. C and G, point ①) for more than 10 seconds.
BEHAVIOUR ON POWER SUPPLY FAILURE AND RESET
When there is a power failure, the load connected to the device is disconnected. When the power supply returns, the device follows the start-up procedure (indicated by the fixed yellow colour of the LED). At the end of this procedure, the load status returns to the same conditions as before the power failure, or to a status defined at the time of configuration. The same applies for the behaviour of the LED.
ASSEMBLY
ATTENTION: the following operations must only be carried out when the system is not powered!
ATTENTION: to remove the front button keys, refer to Fig. E and I.
Apply a lever only in the points indicated; levering in any other points may
cause irreparable damage to the device!
For the terminals, refer to the connection diagram ( Fig. L ) and Fig.
D/H .
The terminals are numbered, and the device must be wired in the following way:
- Dimmed output
- Not connected
- Auxiliary input 2
- Auxiliary input 1
- Power supply phase
- Power supply neutral
ATTENTION: make sure an F1AH 250V AC fuse is installed on the phase line.
FURTHER RESTRICTIONS
The wires must be pushed right into the back of the box, to prevent them from
coming into contact with the walls of the dimmer ( see Fig. O ).
Do not install thermostats or timed thermostats next to the connected dimmer (
see Fig. N ).
Max 1 regulator per round/square box.
Max 2 regulators per rectangular box; if 2 regulators are installed in the
same box, the maximum loads that can be commanded by each regulator must be
reduced by 50% ( see Fig. M ).
The installation of several products side-by-side in the same container is not
permitted: a blanking module must be inserted between the two electronic
devices ( see Fig. M ).
The regulator has no mechanical cut-out on the main circuit, so it provides no
galvanic separation.
On the load side, the circuit must always be considered live.
PROGRAMMING

ATTENTION: the capacity is affected by the installation conditions (e.g. the number and type of walls between the devices), so it is always advisable to run tests to confirm that the real capacity meets the requirements.
Respect the minimum load indicated to avoid false malfunctioning signals or
unwelcome behaviour. Use dimmable lamps on a continuous scale rather than
lamps whose brightness can only be regulated on the basis of predefined
thresholds.
