Wire this Wall Mounted Dimmer in place of a current wall switch according to the diagram. See the ZTH100
Wireless Controller operating instructions to add this module under the command of the Wireless Controller.
Wall Mounted Dimmer Configuration
The Wall Mounted Dimmer switch locally controls the load ON and OFF. Adjust its dimming level by pressing and
holding the top of the switch for Brighten, press and hold the bottom of the switch for Dim. Push on the top or the
bottom of the switch to configure the module to operate from the wireless controller. With the Wireless Controller,
the Wall Mounted Dimmer can be switched ON and OFF remotely, dimmed remotely and can be included in groups
of lights that operate at the same time (a group can also be a single module), and in scenes that set a lighting mood.
Switch power ON and OFF locally
When the switch is pressed on the top the power will turn ON if off. Press the bottom of the switch and the power
will turn OFF if it was on.
Dimming
If the bottom of the switch is pressed and held the light will dim. When the top is pressed and held, the light will
brighten.
Child Protection
The Wall Mounted Dimmer can be set in a child protect mode by the Wireless Controller. When this mode is active,
a user will have to press the Wall Mounted Dimmer 3 times rapidly to activate the attached load. The module
operates normally when controlled by the Wireless Controller..
Other functions
The switch on the Wall Mounted Dimmer also plays a role as a reset in addition to including (or excluding) the
module in groups and scenes. This is described in more detail in the Wireless Controller instructions.
Air Gap Switch
The ZDW100 has an air gap switch on the face (lower left), that when pulled out, completely removes the power
available to the load (more so than simply turning the dimmer off). 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.
Software fuse
This Wall Mounted Dimmer is designed to protect itself against loads that exceed it’s maximum power rating. The
application of a load that exceeds that rating is quickly sensed by the dimmer and it responds by immediately
shutting off all power to that load.
If the dimmer doesn’t seem to work, or only works momentarily, check to see that the total lamp wattage doesn’t
exceed the 300W rating of the dimmer. If a properly sized load is restored to the dimmer, it can be operated
normally once again.
Over-current protection
The Wall Mounted Dimmer hardware also has an over current detection circuit as final protection against overload.
If the software fuse should fail to shut down the dimmer when overloaded, backup protection is provided by an
internal fuse. This internal fuse is not user serviceable. Check your home circuit breakers before concluding that
the product must be returned to manufacturer for repair at a nominal charge.
Operation Note
When a light bulb reaches the end of it’s life and burns out, it sometimes creates a momentary short circuit. The
high current that results may cause the dimmer to properly respond by turning off. Should this happen, replace
the bulb with a new one. The dimmer can then be operated to restore power to the light.
