Overview

Air Live Dimmer Wall Switch Copyright . Overview

The SD-104 is a Z-Wave plus compliant Z-Wave Dimmer Switch to replace your current light Dimmer with a Z-Wave included one. The Z-Wave command is translated to a Dimming command. The wall-mounted Dimmer is a component of the lighting control system. This wall-mounted Dimmer is designed to work with other Z-Wave-enabled devices. Z-Wave nodes of other types can be added to the system and act as repeaters if they support this function of repeating the signal received to other modules in the system. As part of a Z-Wave network, this switch will also act as a wireless repeater to insure that commands intended for another device in the network are received. This is useful when the device would otherwise be out of the radio range of the Z-Wave controller. There are no field repairable assemblies on this unit. If service was needed, the unit must be returned where purchased. This product can be included and operated in any Z-WaveTM network with other Z-WaveTM 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 the reliability of the network.

The device adopts the Z-WaveTM 500 series chip, when your Z-WaveTM network system is all made by Z- WaveTM 500 series devices. The network system will have advantages.

Adding to Z-WaveTM Network

Note: This switch must be “Included in the Network” where it will be permanently installed. The proper operation of the SD-104 in the mesh network is dependent on knowing its location with respect to other nodes. You cannot “test bench” configure this switch and then install it.
First time adding, When first power is applied, its LED flashes on and off alternately and repeatedly at 1- second intervals. It implies that it has not been assigned a node ID yet and starts the auto inclusion. To add the device into the Z-WaveTM network, first make sure the primary controller is in the inclusion model.

Auto Inclusion
In the front casing, there is an On/Off button with an LED indicator which is used to toggle switch on and off or carry out inclusion, exclusion, reset or association. When first power is applied, its LED flashes on and off alternately and repeatedly at 1-second intervals. It implies that it has not been assigned a node ID and cannot work with Z-Wave-enabled devices. The table below lists an operation summary of the basic Z-Wave function. Please refer to the instructions for your Z-Wave™ certificated primary controller to access the Setup function, and to include/exclude/associate devices.
Note: Auto inclusion timeout is 2 minutes during which the node information of the explorer frame will be emitted once several seconds. Unlike the “inclusion” function as shown in the table below, the execution of auto inclusion is free from pressing the Include/Exclude button in on the front case.

The table below lists an operation summary of basic Z-Wave functions. Please refer to the instructions for your Z-WaveTM Certificated Primary Controller to access the Setup function, and to include/exclude/associate devices.

Step 2 Removal of front cover.

Step 3 Basic Operation

Basic Operation (Local Control)
The paddle on the switch allows the user to:
-The on or off the attached load.
-Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system.
-Control other Z-Wave enabled devices.
-Tapping the top of the switch turns the load attached on.
-Tapping the bottom of the switch turns the load attached off.
-Pressing and holding the top and bottom switch does affect the load attached and will allow dimming and brightening of the load.
Caution: When dimmed at the lowest setting, even though the load looks like it’s off, it still has power. Tap the bottom of the switch to turn it off completely. It is best to turn off the power at the circuit breaker to service the load.
Note: Upon restoration of power after a power loss, the switch returns to the previous known state.
LED Indication
The LED on the switch will turn on when the load attached is off, to act as a night light. However, the LED can be user configured to turn on when the load attached is on the switch will flicker its LED when it is transmitting to any of its 4 groups. This can be changed if desired. See “LED transmission indication”

Remote Control
The switch will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of the Z-Wave system. Refer to your controller’s instructions as to whether your controller can transmit those commands.

Advance operation all on/all off
The switch supports the all-on/all-off commands. The switch can be set to respond to all on and all off commands in 4 different ways. Refer to your controller for information on how to set the switch to operate in the manner you desire. Some controllers may be only able to set certain settings of all on/all off responses. The 4 different ways the switch can be setup to respond to all on and all off

Association and Parameter

Association Setup

Association
The switch supports the association command.
The switch can be set to control other Z-Wave devices. Those devices must be installed in their permanent location.
You can turn on and off, and even dim other Z-Wave devices once they are “associated” into 1 of 2 groups within the switch. Each group is turned on or off (or dimmed) by tapping or holding the switch a differing amount of times.
Group 1 Control:
If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 1, you can turn that device ON and OFF by tapping the top or bottom of the dimmer. You can brighten devices by pushing and holding the top of the dimmer and, Dim by pushing and holding the bottom of the dimmer. The load attached to the dimmer is not affected. The LED on the dimmer will indicate the status of Group 1.Group 2 will be polled at a specific interval and the LED on the left switch will indicate the status of Group 1. The polling interval can be configured. The Group1name is lifeline (Profile MSB=0x00,Profile LSB=0x01).

Group 2 Control: (Not in use for Single Button SD-104)
If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 2, you can turn that device ON and OFF by tapping the top or bottom of the right switch You can brighten or dim devices by pushing and holding the top of the right switch Dim by pushing and holding the bottom of the right switch. The load attached to the switch is not affected. The LED on the right switch will indicate the status of Group 2. Group 2 will be polled at a specific interval and the LED on the right switch will indicate the status of Group 2. The polling interval can be configured.
The Group2 name is On/Off Dimmer 1(Profile MSB=0x20, Profile LSB=0x01). This group
can’t be supported to single panel switch.
Group 3 Control: (Not in use for Single Button SD-104)
If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 3, you can turn that device ON or OFF by tapping the top or bottom of the right switch twice. You can brighten or dim devices by tapping the switch once then push and hold the top or bottom of the right switch. The load attached to the switch is not affected. The Group3 name is On Off Dimmer 2 (Profile MSB=0x20,Profile LSB=0x02). This group can’t be supported to a single panel switch.

Group 4 Control:
If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 4, that device will be commanded to turn on or off when the switch is commanded to turn on or off Caution: The switch will not transmit to Z-Wave devices in Group 4 if it is already in the state that the Z-Wave command commanded it to. You can associate up to 5 Z-Wave devices into each of these groups. For instructions on how to “associate” a Z-Wave device into one of these groups, refer to your wireless controller instructions. (If you are using the z-wave controller, refer to the setup menu, association section). A note about dimming, if you combine Z-Wave enabled dimmers and other types of Z- Wave devices in a group, place a Z-Wave enabled dimmer into the empty group first to ensure that the dimming operates correctly. The Group4 name is wireless.(Profile MSB=0x20,Profile LSB=0x03)

Parameter Description

Night light
-Parameter NO:1
-Length: 1 Byte
-Valid values=0 or 1 (default value is 1)
The LED on the switch will by default, turn ON when the load attached is turn OFF. To make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turn ON instead, set parameter 1 to a value of 1.
Memory function
-Parameter NO:2
– Length: 1 Byte
-Valid values=0 or 1 (default value is 1)
Stated in the above form, switch by default value is 1, when the value is 0, switch memory function not open; when the value is 1, open switch memory function.
Invert switch
-Parameter NO:3
-Length: 1 Byte
-Valid values=0 or 1 (default value is 0)
To change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch ON, set parameter 3 to 1.
LED transmission indication
-Parameter NO:4
-Length: 1 Byte
-Valid values = 0,1,2,(default value is 1)
The switch will flicker its LED when it is transmitting to any of its 4 groups. This flickering can be set to not flicker at all (set to 0), to flicker the entire time it is transmitting (set to 2), or to flicker for only 1 second when it begins transmitting (Set to 1). By default, the switch is set to flicker for only 1 second. Each configuration parameter can be set to its default setting by setting the default bit in the configuration set command. See your controller’s instructions on how to do this (and if it supports it). All configuration commands will be reset to their default state when the switch is reset from the Z-Wave system.

Suspend group 4
-Parameter NO:5
-Length:1 Byte
-Valid values = 0 or 1(default value is 0)
You may wish to disable transmitting command Gs to Z-Wave devices that are in Group 4 without “disassociating” those devices from the group. Setting parameter 5 to the value of 1 will stop the switch from transmitting to devices that are “associated” intoroup 4.
