Quick Start

How to install:

Step 1: power on the Z-Wave Micro Smart dimmer.
Step 2: activate inclusion mode on your Z-Wave controller.
Step 3: activate inclusion mode of the dimmer by triple press the action button on the dimmer. The dimmer will be included to Z-Wave network.

Product Description

The micro smart dimmer is a Z-Wave device designed to work with various types of light sources. It may be connected to two-wire or three-wire configuration so it can operate with or without neutral lead. The dimmer can switch or dim connected light source either through Z-Wave devices or through the wall switch connected directly to it. The smart dimmer is equipped with an algorithm of smart light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as a switch with nonflammable light sources (in 3-wire connection).

The dimmer can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

The encryption mode that the dimmer supports is S2 Unauthenticated. When the dimmer is being included into a Z-Wave network, you can use your primary controller/gateway to enable encryption mode or disable encryption. (The primary controller/gateway shall support encryption mode configuration). The dimmer supports OTA and can update firmware wirelessly.

Compact fluorescent CFL tube lamps with electronic allast
Fluorescent tube lamps with electronic ballast
LED bulbs (power factor > 0.7)
Supported light sources (power factor > 0.5) with minimal power of 5VA using the Bypass (depending on the type of load)

The micro smart dimmer uses different operating modes to control following types of loads:

“Trailing edge” for resistivity loads
“Trailing edge” for capacities loads
“Leading edge” for inductive loads

Installation Guide
Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the in- wall dimmer, in order to ensure an error free functioning.

Minimum Brightness Setting Button

Press and hold down the button for over 3 seconds: current brightness will be set as minimum brightness if it is lower than 50%. Minimum brightness will be reset to 1% if current brightness is higher than 50%.
Short press the button twice: the load’s brightness will be set to 99%.

ATTENTION: Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched OFF and ensured against re-switching.

Inclusion (adding to a Z-Wave network)

Set primary controller/gateway into inclusion mode (Please refer to your primary controller’s manual on how
to turn your controller into inclusion).
Power on the in-wall dimmer and set it into inclusion mode. There are two methods to set the in-wall dimmer into inclusion mode:
Re power on the dimmer, it will be set into inclusion mode automatically, and waiting to be included.
Triple press the action button on the dimmer, it will set the dimmer into inclusion mode.
The connected light will stay solid on for 3 seconds to indicate successful inclusion.

Exclusion (removing from a Z-Wave network)

There are two exclusion methods:
Method 1: Exclusion from the primary controller/gateway as follows:

Set the primary controller/gateway into exclusion mode (Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to set your controller into exclusion).
Triple press the action button, the dimmer will be set to exclusion mode, and waiting to be excluded, then the dimmer will be excluded from the network.

Method 2: Factory reset the dimmer will force it to be excluded from a network. (please refer to the part “Factory Reset” of this manual)
Note: Factory reset is not recommended for exclusion, please use this procedure only if the primary controller/gateway is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Factory Reset
Press and hold down the action button for over 10 seconds, the immer will be reset to factory defaults

Association
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). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.

Association Groups:

When press and hold down “Reset” button for 10S to reset the dimmer, send “Device Reset Locally Notification CC” to associated devices of this group to report factory reset information
When load state changes, send “Basic Report CC” to associated devices of this group.
When a load over current is detected, send “Over-current detected” to Lifeline.
When a mains voltage drop is detected, send “Voltage drop/drift” to Lifeline.
When over temperature is detected, send “Emergency shutoff status” to Lifeline.

Set and unset associations:

( Note : All association information will be cleared automatically once the dimmer is excluded from a network.)
Set association by operating primary controller/gateway to send packets to the dimmer:
The primary controller/gateway sends packets to the dimmer using “Command Class ASSOCIATION”

Operating the device
Short press the action button on the dimmer to switch ON/OFF the load

The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame.

How to send out Node Information Frame:
When the dimmer is set to inclusion/exclusion mode again, it will send out Node Information Frame, there are 2 kinds of operation as follows:

Triple press the action button, the dimmer will be set to inclusion/exclusion mode, then send out Node Information Frame.
When the dimmer is under inclusion mode, there are two kinds of operation:
Triple press inclusion/exclusion button, the dimmer will be set to inclusion mode again, and send out Node Information Frame.
Power off and power on the dimmer, it will be set to inclusion mode automatically, and send out Node Information Frame.

Wiring Diagram

Notes for the diagrams:

L – terminal for live lead
N – terminal for neutral lead
Out – output terminal of the dimmer (controlling connected light source)
S1 – terminal for switch (has the option of entering the device in inclusion/exclusion mode)
COM – terminal for grounding to the switch connected to the dimmer
(1) 2-Wire Connection With No Neutral Lead
Wiring Diagram

NOTE: Switch connected to the S1 terminal activates the basic functionality of the dimmer
(turning the light on/off, dimming) and starts the inclusion/exclusion mode (Add/Remove).

The Bypass is a device designed to work with the micro smart dimmer. It should be used in case of connecting LED bulbs or energy saving compact fluorescent lamps. The Bypass prevents flickering of the LED lights and glowing of the turned off compact fluorescent lamps. In the case of 2-wire connection, the Bypass allows to reduce minimum power of load required by the dimmer for correct operation. The Bypass provides powering of the dimmer in case of controlling the low loads of minimum power down to 5VA (for cosφ>0.5).

(2) 3-Wire Connection With Neutral Lead

NOTE: Switch connected to the S1 terminal activates the basic functionality of the dimmer
(turning the light on/off, dimming) and starts the inclusion/exclusion mode (Add/Remove).

(3) 3-Way Switch Connection
