Product Description
The knob smart dimmer is a Z-Wave device designed to work with various types of light sources. It may be connected to two-wire or three-wire configuration so it can operate with or without neutral lead. The dimmer can switch or dim connected light source either through Z-Wave devices or through the rotary knob directly. The smart dimmer is equipped with an algorithm of smart light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as a switch with non-dimmable light sources (in 3- wire connection).
The dimmer can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave 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 reliability of the network.
The encryption mode that the dimmer supports is S2 Unauthenticated. When the dimmer is being included into a Z-Wave network, you can use your primary controller/gateway to enable encryption mode or disable encryption. (The primary controller/gateway shall support encryption mode configuration). The dimmer supports OTA and can update firmware wirelessly.
Main Features
- Advanced microprocessor control,
- Implemented algorithm of smart light source detection,
- Auto-adjustment of the appropriate control mode to connected load,
- Active power and energy metering functionality,
- Soft start function,
- Memory of the last lighting level settings
- With push switch input, can be controlled by universal AC push switches
It operates under the following loads:
- Conventional incandescent and HV halogen light sources
- ELV halogen lamps and dimmable LED bulbs (with electronic transformers)
- MLV halogen lamps (with ferromagnetic transformers)
- Dimmable LED bulbs
- Dimmable compact fluorescent CFL tube lamps
It can be configured to use “Trailing edge” or “Leading edge” to control following load types:
- “Trailing edge” for resistive loads
- “Trailing edge” for capacitive loads
- “Leading edge” for inductive loads
Installation Guide
Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the knob dimmer, in order to ensure an error-free functioning.
Minimum and Startup Brightness Setting Button
- Press and hold down the button for 3 seconds to set minimum brightness: when current brightness value is 1%-50%, it will be set as minimum brightness. When current brightness value is 0%, previously set minimum brightness will be deleted.
- Short press the button twice to set startup brightness: when current brightness value is 1%-50%, it will be set as startup brightness. When current brightness value is 0%, previously set startup brightness will be deleted.
ATTENTION: Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched OFF and ensured against re-switching.
Inclusion (adding to a Z-Wave network)
- Set primary controller/gateway into inclusion mode (Please refer to your primary controller’s manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion).
- Power on the knob dimmer and set it into inclusion mode. There are two methods to set the dimmer into inclusion mode:
- Repower on the dimmer, it will be set into inclusion mode automatically, and waiting to be included.
- Triple press reset button on the dimmer, it will set the dimmer into inclusion mode.
Exclusion (removing from a Z-Wave network)
There are two exclusion methods:
Method 1: Exclusion from the primary controller/gateway as follows:
- Set the primary controller/gateway into exclusion mode (Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to set your controller into exclusion).
- Triple press reset button, the dimmer will be set to exclusion mode, and waiting to be excluded, then the dimmer will be excluded from the network.
Method 2: Factory reset the dimmer will force it to be excluded from a network. (please refer to the part “Factory Reset” of this manual)
Note: Factory reset is not recommended for exclusion, please use this procedure only if the primary controller/gateway is missing or otherwise inoperable.
Factory Reset
Press and hold down the reset button for over 10 seconds, the dimmer will be reset to factory defaults, the load brightness will be restored to 50% and will flash slowly.
Association
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). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.
Association Groups:
| Association Groups | Group Name | Max Nodes | Description |
|
Group 1 |
Lifeline |
5 |
1. When press and hold down “Reset” button for 10S to reset the dimmer, send “Device Reset Locally Notification CC” to associated devices of this group to report factory reset information.
2. When load state changes, send “Basic Report CC” to associated devices of this group. 3. When a load over current is detected, send “Over-current detected” to Lifeline. 4. When a mains voltage drop is detected, send “Voltage drop/drift” to Lifeline. 5. When a load malfunction is detected, send “Emergency shutoff status” to Lifeline. |
|
Group 2 |
Launch 1 |
5 |
When short press the knob, send “Basic Set 0xff/0x00” to associated devices of this group. |
Set and unset associations:
(Note: All association information will be cleared automatically once the dimmer is excluded from a network.) Set association by operating primary controller/gateway to send packets to the dimmer:
The primary controller/gateway sends packets to the dimmer using “Command Class ASSOCIATION”
Operating the device
Short press the reset button on the dimmer to switch ON/OFF the load. Short press the knob to switch ON/OFF the load, rotate the knob clockwise to increase light intensity to 100%, rotate the knob counterclockwise to decrease light intensity to 1%. Short press external push switch to switch ON/OFF the load, press and hold external push switch to increase/decrease light intensity between 1% to 100%.
Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame.
How to send out Node Information Frame:
When the dimmer is set to inclusion/exclusion mode again, it will send out Node Information Frame, there are 2 kinds of operation as follows:
- triple press reset button, the dimmer will be set to inclusion/exclusion mode, then send out Node Information Frame.
- When the dimmer is under inclusion mode, there are two kinds of operation:
- Triple press inclusion/exclusion button, the dimmer will be set to inclusion mode again, and send out Node Information Frame.
- Power off and power on the dimmer, it will be set to inclusion mode automatically, and send out Node Information Frame.

The Bypass is a device designed to work with the knob smart dimmer. It should be used in case of connecting LED bulbs or energy saving compact fluorescent lamps. The Bypass prevents flickering of the LED lights and glowing of the turned off compact fluorescent lamps. In the case of 2-wire connection, the Bypass allows to reduce minimum power of load required by the dimmer for correct operation. The Bypass provides powering of the dimmer in case of controlling the low loads of minimum power down to 3W (for cosφ>0.5).
