CAUTION
This is an electrical device – please use caution when installing and operating the RGBW Dimmer. Remote control of appliances and lighting fixtures may result in unintentional or automated activation of power.
Do not use this Z-Wave device to control electric heaters or other appliances which produce the risk of fire, burns, or electrical shock when unattended. To reduce risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do NOT install this unit to control a receptacle; a motor-operated appliance; a 120 VAC lighting fixture; or any load powered by AC voltage.

INSTALLATION

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Small flat screwdriver 3-wire romex or old 3-wire plug to power the adapter

6 x 16 AWG jumpers to connect everything together

12 or 24 V DC power adapter

Zooz Tools-a5
12 or 24 V DC LED strip which draws less than 120 W total at 12 V DC (or 240 W total at 24 V DC)

BEFORE YOU INSTALL

This RGBW dimmer is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed electrician perform this installation.

WIRING: READ IT!

1. CHECK THE LOAD: Low voltage lights only (120 W total at 12 V DC or 240 W total at 24 V DC), DON’T CONNECT THIS RGBW DIMMER TO 120 VAC LIGHTS!

2. POWER OFF: Turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before you start if you’re working with an electrical box or unplug the power supply from the receptacle if you’re working with a plug-in adapter.

3. CHECK THE WIRES: If using a plug-free power adapter, you’ll need to connect it to line, neutral, and ground as indicated in the instructions for the device. Please make sure you identified all of these wires on your source romex cable or plug cable.

NEUTRAL (usually white)
LINE (usually black)
GROUND (usually bare)

4. CONNECT THE POWER ADAPTER: If using a plug-free power adapter, make the connections from the 120 V AC power source to the appropriate line, neutral, and ground terminals on the power adapter. If using a plug-in power supply, skip this step.

5. CONNECT THE RGBW DIMMER: Use 2 16 AWG jumper wires to connect the RGBW dimmer to the power adapter. Connect the “+” low voltage terminal on the power supply with the “(+) 12/24 VDC” terminal on the RGBW Dimmer, and the “-” low voltage terminal on the power supply with the “(-) GND” terminal on the RGBW Dimmer.

6. CONNECT THE RGBW LED STRIP: Connect the red, green, blue, and white wires from the LED strip with the R G B W terminals on the Dimmer. Use a wire nut to connect the power (usually black) wire from the LED strip with connections to the (+) 12/24 VDC terminal on the RGBW Dimmer and the “+” low voltage terminal on the power supply.

7. CONNECT THE WALL SWITCH (OPTIONAL): Connect one of the terminals / screws on the wall switch with the IN3 terminal on the RGBW Dimmer. Use a wire nut to connect the other terminal / screw on the wall switch with connections to the (-) GND terminal on the RGBW Dimmer and the “-” low voltage terminal on the power supply. Do NOT power the wall switch with 120 VAC! The RGBW Dimmer can be connected to regular on/off switches or momentary push-button switches (to enable dimming from the switch).

8. REVIEW ALL CONNECTIONS: Please verify that you’ve identified all wires and terminals correctly before restoring power to the adapter and testing the set-up. Make sure that a 24 V DC LED strip is powered by a 24 V DC power supply.

Z-WAVE CONTROL

1. ADD DEVICE to your hub

Initiate inclusion (pairing) in the app (or web Interface). Not sure how? ask@getzooz.com If you’re using Smart Start on an S2 hub, it may ask you to enter the DSK key printed on the back cover sticker or scan the QR code next to it to complete secure inclusion.

2. ACTIVATE the dimmer

Make sure the RGBW Dimmer is powered up. Click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly to include the device. The LED will blink yellow to indicate communication with the hub. It will blink green (for non-secure, S0, or S2 unauthenticated inclusion) or magenta (for S2 authenticated) once the device is successfully included to your network. It will blink red if inclusion is not successful.

Get step-by-step instructions for adding the RGBW Dimmer to SmartThings, Vera, and other hubs at www.support.getzooz.com

HOW IT WORKS

We recommend using the RGBW Dimmer in HSB mode (see Parameter 150) with a momentary wall switch (such as our ZAC99 accessory switch) connected to the IN3 terminal for best experience. Click it once to turn the light on (to the last color and brightness setting) or off. Click the switch 2 times quickly to go to full brightness. Press and hold to dim the light. See advanced settings for scene control options.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The RGBW dimmer won’t add to your system? Try this:

Initiate EXCLUSION and click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly.
Click the Z-Wave button 4-5 times quickly when adding the device.
Bring the gateway controller (hub) closer to the device, it may be out of range.
Get troubleshooting tips for your hub at www.support.getzooz.com

EXCLUSION (REMOVING / UNPAIRING DEVICE)

Bring your Z-Wave gateway (hub) close to the RGBW Dimmer if possible
Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? ask@getzooz.com)
Click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly
Your hub will confirm exclusion, the LED indicator on the RGBW Dimmer will light up in red, and the device will disappear from your controller’s device list

FACTORY RESET

If your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the device to factory settings. To complete the reset process manually, press and hold the Z-Wave button to enter reset mode. Release the button when the LED indicator glows yellow. Then quickly click the Z-Wave button again to confirm factory reset. Wait a few seconds until the device resets and restarts the LED indicator will light up in red when it’s ready.
NOTE: All previously recorded activity and custom settings will be erased from the device’s memory.
To reset the kWh energy use meter press and hold the Z-Wave button to enter reset mode. Release the button when the LED indicator glows green. Then quickly click the Z-Wave button again to confirm the reset.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

Please refer to your controller’s user guide for advanced programming instructions as they are a little different for every software.

Analog Sensor Voltage Reporting / Trigger Threshold
Parameter 63: Choose how you want your RGBW Dimmer to report voltage changes from the connected analog sensors and trigger status change on the output. The number entered as value corresponds to decimal values in voltage change. So if 5 is entered by default, the RGBW Dimmer will report any change in voltage of the connected sensor over 0.5 V. This setting is only in effect if at least one of Parameters 20 - 23 is set to value 0 or 1 (input is set to analog sensor mode).
Values: 0 - disabled (it will not report voltage based on value change); 1 - 100 (0.1 - 10 V); default: 5.
Size: 2 byte dec.

Analog Sensor Report Frequency
Parameter 64:
Choose how o en you want your RGBW Dimmer to report voltage changes from the connected analog sensors to your hub. The number entered as value corresponds to the number of seconds. So if 3600 is entered as value, the RGBW Dimmer will report voltage from connected analog sensors every hour (independent of the threshold set in parameter 63). Voltage reports are sent in at least 30-second intervals. This setting is only in effect if at least one of Parameters 20 23 is set to value 0 or 1 (input is set to analog sensor mode).
Values: 0 - disabled (it will not report voltage based on the frequency setting); 30 32400 (seconds); default: 0.
Size: 2 byte dec.

Ramp Rate Continued
Parameter 151: You can also set the physical ramp rate in minutes instead of seconds. Use the below values for this extended functionality.
Values: 128 - 254 (1 - 127 minutes); default: 3 (seconds, see primary description).
Size: 2 byte dec.

Parameter 152:
You can also set the ZWave ramp rate in minutes instead of seconds. Use the below values for this extended functionality.
