Quick start.

Getting your Smart Boost Timer Switch up and running requires you to wire your load and power before adding it to your Z-Wave network. The following instructions will tell you how to add your Smart Boost Timer Switch to your Z-Wave network using an existing gateway/controller.

Wiring your Smart Boost Timer Switch.

Wiring incoming power supply to Switch (To Incoming Supply / Input Power side):

1. Ensure that no power is present in the AC Live (80 – 250VAC) and Neutral wire and test them with a Voltage Screwdriver or Multimeter to make sure.
2. Connect AC Live (80 – 250VAC) wire to L terminal over Incoming power.
3. Connect AC Neutral wire to N terminal over incoming power.
4. Connect Ground wire to Earth terminal over incoming power.
5. Make sure to screw in all terminals tight so that the wires do not slip out during use.

Wiring your Load to Switch (To Appliance / Load side):

1. Connect Live input wire from your Load to L terminal on the load side.
2. Connect Neutral input wire from your Load to N terminal on the load side.
3. Connect Ground input wire from your Load to Earth terminal on the load side.
4. Make sure to screw in all terminals tight so that the wires do not slip out during use.

Pairing Smart Boost Timer Switch to your Network.

Using an existing Z-Wave Controller:****

1. Place your gateway or controller into Z-Wave pair or inclusion mode. (Please refer to your controller/gateway manual on how to do this)

2. Press the Action Button on your Switch once and the LED will flash a green LED.

3. If your switch has been successfully linked to your network, its LED will become solid green for 2 seconds. If linking was unsuccessful, the LED will return to a rainbow gradient.

Removing your Smart Boost Timer Switch from a Z-Wave network.

Your Smart Boost Timer Switch can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll need to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller to do this and the following instructions will tell you how to do this using an existing Z-Wave network.

Using an existing Z-Wave Controller:

1. Place your gateway or controller into Z-Wave unpair or exclusion mode. (Please refer to your controller/gateway manual on how to do this)

2. Press the Action Button on your Switch.

3. If your switch has been successfully unlinked from your network, its LED will become a rainbow gradient. If linking was unsuccessful, the LED will become green or purple depending on how your LED mode is set.

Advanced functions.

Factory Reset your Smart Boost Timer Switch.

If at some stage, your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may wish to reset all of your Smart Boost Timer Switch settings to their factory defaults and allow you to pair it to a new gateway.  To do this:

1. Press and hold the Action Button for 15 seconds, at 15 seconds the LED indicator will turn red.
2. Release the button on Smart Boost Timer Switch.
3. If the factory reset is successful, the LED Indicator will start to blink blue slowly.

Smart Boost Timer Switch Modes.

There are 2 separate modes for Smart Boost Timer Switch: Boost Mode or Override Schedule Mode.

Boost mode.

Boost mode will allow you to turn on your Smart Boost Timer Switch to 4 pre- programmed set times (configurable via Parameter 5) before turning off Smart Boost Timer Switch. Each time you press and hold your Smart Boost Timer Switch button for 1 second and release, this will increase the amount of time by 30 minutes up to 120 minutes maximum before turning off the switch.

Parameter 5 boost time setting.

Configures the boost time interval in minutes.

Controlling boost mode.

Boost mode has 4 settings which is configurable by Parameter 5 to allow you to configure the time settings of each boost mode.

Each time you press and hold the Action Button for 1 second then release, you will increase boost mode up to 4 separate settings in increments of 30 minutes.

• Press and hold for 1 second then release.

Boost mode 1 (LED 1 on) – Keeps your Smart Boost Timer Switch ON for 30 minutes (or configuration setting set on Parameter 5)

Boost mode 2 (LED 1 and 2 on) – **** Keeps your Smart Boost Timer Switch ON for 60 minutes (or configuration setting set on Parameter 5)

Boost mode 3 (LED 1, 2, and 3 on) – **** Keeps your Smart Boost Timer Switch ON for 90 minutes (or configuration setting set on Parameter 5)

Boost mode 4 (LED 1, 2, 3, and 4 on) – **** Keeps your Smart Boost Timer Switch ON for 120 minutes (or configuration setting set on Parameter 5)

Override schedule mode.

Override Mode will override all schedules and time programmed to Smart Boost Timer Switch to allow you to manually control it through your gateway just like any other smart switch.

Changing between boost and override modes.

The mode of Smart Boost Timer Switch can be changed by pressing and holding the Action Button of Smart Boost Timer Switch for 5 seconds.

• Press and hold Action Button for 5 seconds.
• At 5 seconds, the Power Indicator light will turn green, release the button to complete the mode change.

Association Groups.

Association groups are used for determining what devices Smart Boost Timer Switch will communicate to directly. The maximum amount of devices in a single group # is 5 devices.

Group #.| Command Class used.| Command output.| Function description.
---|---|---|---
1| Switch Binary
Meter V5
Clock
Sensor Multilevel V11
Schedule
Device Reset Locally| REPORT
REPORT V5
REPORT
REPORT V11
REPORT
NOTIFICATION| The lifeline association group, all nodes associated to this group will receive reports from the Smart Boost Timer Switch. Typically the gateway Node ID1 will associate itself to this group # during the pairing process.
2| BASIC| SET| All devices associated to this group # will turn ON or OFF when the Smart Boost Timer Switch turns ON and OFF.

More Advanced Configurations.

The Smart Boost Timer Switch has a longer list of device configurations that you can do with Smart Boost Timer Switch. These are not exposed well in most gateways, but at the least you can manually set configurations through most Z-Wave gateways available. These configuration options may not be available in a few gateways.

You can find the paper manual and configuration sheet at the bottom of the pdf file by clicking here.

If you have any questions on how to set these, please contact support and let them know what gateway you are using.
