Please note: Not all controllers are capable of this; your controller must be designed to perform this function.
The SmartHome Controller, #45601, is designed to do this. Use its “Setup Menu”, “Config Unit” to change the
configuration of devices.
Configuration Functions
LED Light
When shipped from the factory, the LED on the 45606 is set to turn ON when the connected light is turned OFF. This
allows the LED to be used as a night light or to indicate the switch’s location in a dark room. To make the LED turn ON
when the light is turned ON, change parameter 3’s value to “0”.
• Parameter No: 3
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
Invert Switch
If the dimmer switch is accidentally installed upside down with “On” at the bottom and “Off” at the top, the default On/Off
rocker settings can be reversed by changing parameter 4’s value to “1”.
• Parameter No: 4
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
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. As an 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.
1. When Receiving a Z-Wave Dim Command
• Parameter 7 (number of steps or levels)
• Parameter 8 (timing of the steps)
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values:
Parameter 7 (default = 1) Valid Values: 1-99
Parameter 8 (default = 3) Valid Values: 1-255
2. Manual Control Dimming (pressing the Dimmer’s rocker)
• Parameter 9 (number of steps or levels)
• Parameter 10 (timing of the steps)
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values:
Parameter 9 (default = 1) Valid Values: 1-99
Parameter 10 (default = 3) Valid Values: 1-255
3. When Receiving an All-On or All-Off Command
• Parameter 11 (number of steps or levels)
• Parameter 12 (timing of the steps)
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values:
Parameter 11 (default = 1) Valid Values: 1-99
Parameter 12 (default = 3) Valid Values: 1-255
Ignore Start Level When Receiving Dim Commands
Please note: Every “Dim” command includes a start level embedded in it.
