What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a 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.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

Product Description

Heatit ZM Dimmer is an inwall dimmer for installation in European electrical wall boxes. The dimmer enables the user to control light sources from the Z-Wave network and/or an external switch.The Heatit ZM Dimmer works on most low loads of both LEDs and other light fixtures without causing flickering. When connecting low loads it is recommended to use a bypass.The dimmer may be connected to two external switches that can be used to control the lights, associated devices and scenes.Heatit ZM Dimmer has active power metering and it gives you real time information about your power consumption.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

Press and hold the reset button. After 3 seconds the LED will start to blink green. After 20 seconds the LED will start blinking green rapidly. You may now release the button. If reset was successful the LED will light up in solid green for 3 seconds.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country- specific
installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of
the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Installation

Installation must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with national building codes. Before installation, disconnect the power to the device from the mains. During installation of the device, power to the device must be disconnected AT ALL TIMES!
Note! The dimmer can be used in a 2 and 3-wire mode. In 2-wire mode, neutral can only be connected to the load and not the dimmer itself. The dimmer automatically detects if it is connected in 2 or 3-wire mode.

1. Turn off the fuse.
2. Connect the Live to the dimmer terminal marked ”L”.
3. Optional: Connect the Neutral to the dimmer terminal marked ”N”.
4. Connect the load terminal marked ”L” to the dimmer terminal marked
5. Connect the load terminal marked “N” directly to Neutral.
6. Install the dimmer in the junction box.
7. Make sure that no wires are pinched.

• S1: External momentary switch. Used for dimming the load Can be used as a scene controller.
• S2: External momentary switch. Can be used for either dimming or scene controller.

Wiring

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

1. To start the configuration process, press the reset button 3 times in rapid succession. 
2. The LED will light up in solid green for 3 seconds if add is successful. 
3. The device is now ready for use with default settings.

Exclusion

1. To start the exclusion process, press the reset button 3 times in rapid succession. 
2. The LED will light up in solid green for 3 seconds if remove is successful. 
3. The device has been reset

Product Usage

• AUTOCALIBRATION OF MAXIMUM DIM LEVEL The dimmer supports an autocalibration feature for the maximum dim level. Autocalibration will initiate if flimmer is detected. The Maximum dim level parameter (11) will be updated automatically upon completion of the autocalibration.
• MANUAL CALIBRATION OF MINIMUM DIM LEVEL The minimum dim level may be calibrated by using the “Min.” button on the device. To adjust the minimum level, hold down the “Min.” button. The lighting will start from the lowest level and increase the dim level slowly. Release the button when the desired minimum dim level is reached. The minimum dim will now be set on the dimmer. Minimum dim level parameter (12) will be updated automatically.
• ON/OFF FUNCTIONALITY The dimmer has support for non-dimmable loads. To activate this feature, change parameter (15) “ON/OFF functionality” to 1. When this is active, the load can no longer be dimmed, but only turned ON and OFF. When using this functionality, we recommend using the dimmer in 3-wire mode. Some light fixtures might not be compatible with 2-wire mode.
• OVERLOAD PROTECTION The dimmer supports an overload protection feature. When the connected load exceeds 250W, the dimmer will send a notification to the gateway using the Notification Command Class. (Not all gateways support this feature, so depending on the gateway you may or may not get a warning). The dimmer will continue to function normally until it reaches 300W. It will then turn off the load to protect itself.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device

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, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Association Groups:

dimmer when changed.
3| 5| Switch Multilevel – When S1 or S2 is pressed/held/released and when changed from gateway or from an association.

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values too.
