ASSOCIATION
The WD500Z-1 supports the Association command.
The WD500Z-1 can be set to control other Z-Wave devices. Those
devices must be installed in their permanent location.
You can turn on and off, and even dim other Z-Wave devices once they
are “associated” in groups 2 and 3 with WD500Z-1.
ABOUT DIMMERS IN A GROUP: If you combine Z-Wave enabled
dimmers and other types of Z-Wave devices in a group, place a Z-Wave
enabled dimmer into the empty group fi rst to ensure that the dimming
operates correctly.
Each group is turned on, off or dimmed by tapping or holding the switch
a differing amount of times.
Group 2
If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 2, you can turn that
device on and off by tapping the top or bottom of the switch twice. You
can brighten or dim devices by tapping the top or bottom of the switch
once and then hold it down. The load attached to the WD500Z-1 is not
affected.
Group 3
If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 3, you can turn that device
on by tapping the top of the switch three times or off by tapping the
bottom of the switch three times. You can brighten devices by tapping
the top of the switch twice or dim devices by tapping the bottom of the
switch twice and then hold it down. The load attached to the WD500Z-1
is not affected.
You can associate up to 5 Z-Wave devices into each of these groups.
For instructions on how to “associate” a Z-Wave device into one of
these groups, refer to your wireless controller instructions. (If you are
using the Z-Wave controller, refer to the Setup Menu, Association
section).
ABOUT DIMMING: If you combine Z-Wave enabled dimmers and other
types of Z-Wave devices in a group, place a Z-Wave enabled dimmer
into the empty group 1st to ensure that the dimming operates correctly.
CONFIGURATION
The WD500Z-1 supports the Confi guration command.
The WD500Z-1 can be confi gured to operate differently than how it
works when you fi rst install it. Using the Confi guration command you
can confi gure the following:
Set Ignore Start Level Bit When Transmitting Dim Commands
The WD500Z-1 can send Dim commands to Z-Wave enabled dimmers.
The Dim command has a start level embedded in it. A dimmer receiving
this command will start dimming from that start level if this bit is set to
0. If the bit is set to 1, the dimmer will ignore the start level and instead
start dimming from its current level.
• Parameter No: 1
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
Night Light
The LED on the WD500Z-1 will by default, turn ON when the load
attached is turned ON. To make the LED turn ON when the load attached
is turned OFF instead, set parameter 3 to a value of 1.
Proper Single Gang Installation
Using WD500Z-1’s standard full heat-sink (all tabs), the connected
incandescent lamp load shall not exceed 500W. If a tab is removed from
one side of the WD500Z-1 unit, the connected incandescent lamp load
must not exceed 400W. If both tabs are removed from the WD500Z-1
unit, the connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 300W.
Proper Dual Gang Installation
The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 400W for each
of the two WD500Z-1 units.
Proper Triple Gang Installation
The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 300W for each
of the three WD500Z-1 units.
Air Gap Switch
The WD500Z-1 has an air gap switch on the face (lower left), that when
pulled out, completely removes the power available to the load (simply
turning the dimmer off does not). This enables the lamps that are
controlled by the device to be changed with minimal danger of electrical
shock. The air gap switch must be pushed all the way back in for the
dimmer to operate the lamps again.
INCLUDING WD500Z-1 TO THE NETWORK
STEP 1. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network by
adding it to a group (method of adding a node to the network). Refer to
controller instructions.
STEP 2. The WD500Z-1 must be in its permanently installed
location. Tap either the top or bottom of the WD500Z-1 switch once.
STEP 3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device
was included” in the network.
NOTE: If you have trouble adding the WD500Z-1 to a group it may
be that the Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing.
You must fi rst “RESET UNIT” with your controller to remove it from the
network.”
Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it from
a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group,
it functions only as a repeater.
