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).

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.

Once the linking process is complete, work 

with  the  compatible  system  to  define  the 

behavior of individual buttons on the switch.

For problems with the compatible system, 
please contact to the system provider.
