Product description
The myTEM Radio RGBW module MTRGB-100-WL is a Z-Wave device of the type
Light Dimmer Switch for use in Europe / Switzerland. It can be used
for controlling
and dimming 4-colored LED strips. In addition to the green-blue-white color
control, a warm white setting can also be realized if the LED strip supports
this function.
The load is no longer switched directly via a (possibly existing light)
switch, but a signal is sent to a controller like the myTEM Smart Server or
the myTEM Radio Server,
which in turn controls the myTEM Radio RGBW module via radio.
The myTEM Radio RGBW module must be powered by a 24 VDC power supply and can
control 24 VDC RGBW LED strips or lamps. The device is installed in a control
cabinet, mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail.
Installation
Please install the device according to the following steps:
- WARNING! Make sure that the device is disconnected from the power supply.
- CAUTION! Connect the myTEM Radio RGBW module as shown above.
- CAUTION! The device shall only be operated with stabilized power supplies (24 VDC). Connecting higher voltages will damage the device.
- Turn on the power.
- Include (Add) the module into the Z-Wave network.
• CAUTION! The myTEM Radio RGBW module must be operated with the same voltage supply as the connected LED strips.
• CAUTION! When connecting long LED strips, there may be a loss of power. This can cause the luminosity to decrease with lights farther away from the RGBW outputs. To avoid this effect, several short, parallel LED strips are recommended instead of a long, serially connected LED strip. It is also recommended to connect LED strips with a maximum length of 10 m to the RGBW outputs. Please also note the instructions of the respective LED strip manufacturer.
Color and dimming settings
The command class Color Switch is used to set the desired color.
The command class Multilevel Switch is used to set the desired intensity
(value for dimming).
CAUTION! By default, the values for the color and intensity are 0, resp.
set to OFF. To turn on the LED strip BOTH values must be set.

What is Z-Wave®?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart
Home. Z-Wave ensures 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.
Z-Wave products from different manufacturers can be used together in a
wireless network. Thus, this product with any Z-Wave product from other
manufacturers can
be used in a common Z-Wave wireless network. The myTEM Radio RGBW module is a
Z-Wave device with secure communication (S2) and uses a radio frequency of
868.4 MHz. If other devices also support the same secure communication, the
data is exchanged in this secure mode. Otherwise, it will switch automatically
to
a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.
For more information about frequency regulations please refer to the homepage
of Silicon Labs. For
more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, tutorials, etc.
please refer to www.z-wave.info.
Preparation for the installation
WARNING! Depending on national safety standards, only authorized and/or
trained technicians may be allowed to make electrical installations on the
power supply.
Please inform yourself about the legal situation before installation.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network, it must be in the
factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory
default. After power-up the
status is displayed as below:
Status Add (included in a Z-Wave network):
The LED lights green for 1-2 seconds
Status Remove (not included):
The LED flashes red for 5-10 seconds
Reset to factory default
If the myTEM Radio RGBW module shows the status Add, the Remove can be
performed with any controller in the network or with the help of a new
controller. However
it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network unless
it is no longer available or damaged.
Remove deletes the memory chip, including all Z-Wave network settings.
To start the Remove process, please press the button (T ) four times in
quick succession. The LED flashes red and then the new status is:
Add: The LED lights up briefly in green
Remove: The LED lights up briefly in red
Inclusion/Exclusion (Add/Remove) of the device
On factory default, the device does not belong to any -Wave network. In order
to communicate with other Z-Wave devices, it must be included in an existing
network
or a new network has to be established. In Z-Wave, this process is called
“Add”. Devices can also be removed from networks. In Z-Wave, this process is
called “Remove”. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the
Z-Wave network. This controller is put into the “Add”, respectively the
“Remove” mode.
The manual of the controller will contain the information on how to switch it
into these modes. Only when the primary controller of the Z-Wave network is in
the “Add” mode can devices be added. Removing a device from the network will
reset it to the delivery state.
Inclusion/Exclusion (Add/Remove)
To include/exclude (Add/Remove) the device to/from a Z-Wave network, press
the button T four times in quick succession. When the device is in Add mode,
the LED
flashes green. When finished, the new status is:
Add: The LED lights up briefly in green
Remove: The LED lights up briefly in red
Quick troubleshooting
The following hints may help solve trouble during the network installation.
- Make sure that new devices are in the factory reset state. The status is displayed at power-up.
- If a connection cannot be established, check that the controller and the device are working on the same radio frequency.
- If a connection cannot be established, the control cabinet may reduce the radio signal. Please use in this case an external antenna, such as, for example, the myTEM MTANT-100-WL.
- Remove devices that are no longer available in the Z-Wave network from all association groups. Otherwise, significant delays in the execution of commands are possible.
- Make sure you have enough mains-powered devices to benefit from the meshing network.
- Never use “sleeping” battery-powered devices without a central controller.
- Do not poll battery-powered devices.
- Make sure you have set color and intensity values, otherwise the LED strip will stay turned off.
Z-Wave Association – Devices control each other
The Association Command Class is used to manage associations to NodeID
destinations. An association group sends commands to the configured
destinations when triggered
by an event.
Association group of the myTEM Radio RGBW module:
Group ID| Profile / Name| Max. no of units| Command Class| Type / Event|
Description
---|---|---|---|---|---
1| General: NA /Lifeline| 5| Notification Report| T: System (0x09)
E: Heartbeat (0x05)| Reports to be alive (interval according to configuration)
T: Power Management (0x08)
E: Power has been applied (0x01| Reports the device had a start-up (sent after
each power-up only)
The reports “Heartbeat” and “Power Management” can be activated/deactivated
separately via the command class Notification.
