Adjusting Dim Rate
Dim Level
The brightness setting of the Dimmer is called the Dim Level. When the Dim Level is
adjusted, the rate that Dim Level changes depends on the Dim Step (Parameter 7) and Dim
Timer (Parameter 8) values. These values can be changed instantly to allow various scenes
and effects. These values can also vary between local control, remote commands from the
hub or associated device and ALL ON/OFF commands.
Dim Step (remote and local)
Dim Step can be set to a value of 1 to 99. This value indicates how many levels the dimmer
will change each time the Dim Timer expires.
Dim Timer (remote and local)
The Dim Timer (how fast the dim steps happen). It can be set to a value of 1 to 255. This
value indicates in 10 millisecond resolution, how often the dim level will change.
Examples:
• If the Dim Timer parameter value is set to 1, every 10mS the Dim Level will change by
the Dim Step value.
• If the Dim Timer parameter value is set to 255, every 2.55 seconds the Dim Level will
change by the Dim Step value.
With the combination of the two parameter values that control the dim rate, the dimmer can
be adjusted to dim from maximum to minimum or minimum to maximum at various speeds
between 10 millisecond and 252.45 seconds (over 4.25 minutes).

Over-The-Air (OTA) Update
The Dimmer can receive OTA fi rmware updates at any time when the Controller is
instructed to provide the update..
Resetting to Defaults
Each confi guration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting the default
bit in the Confi guration Set command. See your Controller’s instructions on how to do this
(and if it supports it). All confi guration commands will be reset to their default state when
the GoControl Dimmer is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using the Controller to
reset the node.

IMPORTANT !!!
Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important need in portable wireless signaling.
However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices.
As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that
occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer,
and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
