3. LED will start blinking yellow, wait for the removing process to end.
4. Successful removing will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and red LED colour.
5. The device will start calibrating the load.
To add the device to the Z-Wave network manually:
1. Set the main controller in (Security/non-Security Mode) add mode (see the controller’s manual).
2. Quickly, three times click one of the buttons.
3. If you are adding in Security S2 Authenticated, scan the DSK QR code or input the underlined part of the DSK (label on the bottom of the box).
4. LED will start blinking yellow, wait for the adding process to end.
5. Adding result will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and the LED frame:
- Green - successful (non-secure, S0, S2 non-authenticated),
- Magenta - successful (Security S2 Authenticated),
- Red – not successful.
To add the device to the Z-Wave network using Smart Start:
1. Set the main controller in Security S2 Authenticated add mode (see the controller’s manual).
2. Scan the DSK QR code or input the underlined part of the DSK (label on the bottom of the box).
3. Power the device.
4. Wait for the calibration process to end. Light may blink, the device will be switched off once the process is completed.
5. Wait for the adding process to start (up to few minutes), which is signaled with yellow LED blinking.
6. Adding result will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and the LED frame:
- Green - successful (non-secure, S0, S2 non-authenticated),
- Magenta - successful (Security S2 Authenticated),
- Red – not successful.
Factory reset Wall Dimmer
Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted. Resetting to factory defaults does not reset energy consumption memory.
1. Quickly, three times click, then press and hold one of the buttons to enter menu.
2. Release the button when the device glows yellow.
