Factory reset Smart In Wall Dimmer

To be used only in the event that the network primary controller is lost or otherwise inoperable.

1. In rapid succession, tap the top paddle 3 times, then tap the bottom paddle 3 times. If all LEDs flash white 5 times, factory reset was successful. If not, repeat this procedure.
Note: As this must be done very quickly, we recommend using 2 fingers for this operation; one on each paddle!
Note: The switch will default to 3-wire mode and dimmer mode after factory reset.

Changing Wire Mode

HS-WX300 may be installed with a neutral wire (3-wire mode) or without a neutral wire (2-wire mode). Selecting the correct wire mode will yield the best results, especially if the switch is configured as a dimmer. By default, 3-wire mode is enabled. To change the wire mode (at the switch):

1. Turn the power off
2. In rapid succession, tap the top paddle 2 times, then press & hold the top paddle for 3 seconds (tap-tap-press & hold)
3. Observe the behavior of the LEDs
- If the bottom 3 LEDs flash white 3 times, HS-WX300 is configured for 3-wire mode
- If the bottom 2 LEDs flash white 2 times, HS-WX300 is configured for 2-wire mode

Note: Wire mode may also be changed by the hub using Z-Wave parameter 32. See the Z-Wave Parameters section at the end of this user guide.

Note: The switch will default to 3-wire mode and dimmer mode after factory reset.
