Dim rate adjustments
Both the number of steps (or levels) that the dimmer will change
and the timing of the steps can be modified to suit personal
preferences. The timing of the steps can be adjusted in 10
millisecond intervals. For example, the default setting for
parameter 8 is “3”. This means that the lighting level will change
every 30 milliseconds when the dim command is received. A value
of 255 would mean that the level would change every 2.55
seconds. Combined, the two parameters allow dim rate
adjustments from 10 milliseconds to 4.2 minutes to go from
maximum to minimum or minimum to maximum brightness
levels.
When receiving a Z-Wave dim command:
•
Parameter 7 (number of steps or levels); Default = 1; Valid
Values: 1 to 99
•
Parameter 8 (timing of the steps); Default = 3; Valid Values: 1
to 255
•
Length: 1 Byte
Manual control dimming (pressing the module pushbutton):
•
Parameter 9 (number of steps or levels); Default = 1; Valid
Values: 1 to 99
•
Parameter 10 (timing of the steps); Default = 3; Valid Values: 1
to 255
•
Length: 1 Byte
When receiving an all-on or all-off command:
•
Parameter 11 (number of steps or levels); Default = 1; Valid
Values: 1 to 99
•
Parameter 12 (timing of the steps); Default = 3; Valid Values: 1
to 255
•
Length: 1 Byte
Ignore start level when receiving dim commands
Every dim command from your remote control includes a start
level embedded in it. The module can be set to ignore the start
level that is part of the dim command. Setting parameter 5 to a
value of 0 will cause the module to dim or brighten from the start
level embedded in the command.

Restoring factory defaults
All configuration parameters can be restored to their factory
default settings by using the remote control to reset the device.
Software fuse
This module is designed to protect itself against loads that exceed
its maximum power rating. An overload is automatically sensed by
the module and all power to the load is shut off immediately.
Troubleshooting
If the module does not appear to work properly, verify that the
lamp wattage does not exceed the 300W rating. Normal operation
can be restored by the remote control when the load is reduced to
the proper rating.
Over-current protection
Additional over-current protection is provided by an internal fuse,
which is not user serviceable. Check the home’s circuit breakers
before concluding that the product must be replaced.
Interoperability with Z-Wave devices
A Z-Wave network can integrate devices of various classes.
Although every Z-wave certified product is designed to work with
all other Z-Wave certified products, the remote control includes
the appropriate device classifications in order to control non-
lighting Z-Wave devices.

FCC
The Federal Communication Commission Radio Frequency
Interference Statement includes the following paragraph:
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment uses, generates and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipement and
receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause interference, and
