MAGNUM FIRST MZ ASW1 Self Powered Wireless Switch With Dimming CapabilitiesUser Guide

Self-powered wireless controls are simple to install.

Magnum Single and Double Rocker Pads use radio frequency technology to communicate wirelessly with other Magnum devices and provide convenient control of lighting, temperature and miscellaneous electric loads. The rocker pads are self-powered and  never require batteries because the simple act of pressing the rocker generates enough energy to send a signal to other Magnum devices. Use them in conjunction with Magnum sensors and controls to maximize efficiency and provide a level of comfort and  convenience you cannot achieve with traditional switches. Magnum products feature clean contemporary styling, making them an attractive addition that’s sure to compliment any décor.

Commissioning

Part 1
Activate commissioning (or linking) mode for a system compatible with the switch.
If you don’t know how to do this, consult the manual for the compatible system or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Part 2
Put the switch into commissioning mode.
To enter commissioning mode, start by selecting one button on the switch. (Use the same button for the entire sequence.
Pressing any other button will exit the commissioning mode.)

Next, execute the following long-short-long sequence:

  1. Press and hold the selected button for more than 7 seconds before releasing it
  2. Press the selected button quickly (hold for less than 2 seconds)
  3. Press and hold the selected button again for more than 7 seconds before releasing it The switch has now entered commissioning mode.

Part 3
Linking the switch to the compatible system.
A radio signal needs to be sent from the switch to the compatible system on the correct ZigBee channel. The system uses one of sixteen possible channels, automatically set by the system. Using the switch, a signal will be sent on each channel until the channel  used by the compatible system is found. Upon entering commissioning mode, the switch sends a signal on the currently selected channel. The signal is sent on the default channel 11, unless the switch had been put on another channel previously. (This allows  linking additional devices without changing the currently used radio channel.)
Here is a chart of the ZigBee channels and the corresponding radio frequencies (in MHz).

Channel ID  Lower Center  Upper Frequency  Frequency Frequency
11 2404 2405 2406
12 2409 2410 2411
13 2414 2415 2516
14 2419 2420 2421
15 2424 2425 2426
16 2429 2430 2431
17 2434 2435 2436
18 2439 2440 2441
19 2444 2445 2446
20 2449 2450 2451
21 2454 2455 2456
22 2459 2460 2461
23 2464 2465 2466
24 2469 2479 2471
25 2474 2475 2476
26 2479 2480 2481

Cycle through the sixteen channels
To change the switch’s channel, short press the selected switch button (less than 7 seconds) once after entering commissioning mode. This will reset the channel used by the switch to channel 11.
If the switch was already operating on channel 11 (default condition) then the radio channel will remain unchanged. This ensures that the switch will always use channel 11 as the starting point for the channel adjustment.

Short press the selected button (less than 7 seconds) again to move to the next channel. For each such button press,
the switch transmits on the next channel. If channel 26 has been reached then channel 11 will be used next.
When the switch is on the correct channel, the compatible system will provide a link confirmation indication. Consult the instructions for the compatible system for details of the link confirmation indication. There should be a visible or audible exchange indicated on the system, and the switch will be linked to the system.

Exit linking mode on the switch by pressing any other button on the switch.
For problems with the compatible system, please contact the system provider.
