You can brighten the controlled device by pushing and holding the top of the paddle, dim by pushing and holding
the bottom of the paddle.
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 paddle twice. You can brighten or dim devices by tapping the top or bottom of the paddle once and then hold
it down. The load attached to the ZDW120 is not affected.
If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 3, you can turn that device on by tapping the top of the paddle three
times or off by tapping the bottom of the paddle three times. You can brighten devices by tapping the top of the
paddle twice or dim devices by tapping the bottom of the paddle twice and then hold it down. The load attached
to the ZDW120 is not affected.
Only associate transmitters or controllers into Group 4. Group 4 should be used only to update a transmitter or
controller on the status of the ZDW120 which might have been controlled from another device.
You can associate up to 5 Z-Wave devices into each of these four 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
ZTH100 controller, refer to the Setup Menu, Association section).
A note 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 1
st
to ensure that the dimming operates correctly.
Configuration
The ZDW120 supports the Configuration command.
The ZDW120 can be configured to operate slightly differently than how it works when you first install it. Using the
Configuration command you can configure the following:
You can use a ZTH100 to send Configuration commands. (Refer to the Setup Menu, Configuration section)
Set Ignore Start Level Bit When Transmitting Dim Commands
• Parameter No: 1
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
The ZDW120 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. However, the command
also has a bit that indicates whether the dimmer should ignore the start level. If the bit is set to 1, the dimmer will
ignore the start level and instead start dimming from its current level. To clear this bit, configure this parameter
to the value of 0.
Suspend Group 4
• Parameter No: 2
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
You may wish to disable transmitting commands to Z-Wave devices that are in Group 4 without “un-associating”
those devices from the group. Setting parameter 2 to the value of 1 will stop the ZDW120 from transmitting to
devices that are “associated” into Group 4.
It is possible that you may only want the units in Group 4 to track when the dimmer is being turned ON and OFF
and not when dimming.
Disable Group 4 During a Dim Command
•
Parameter 13
•
Length: 1 Byte
•
Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
After the ZDW120 is commanded to stop dimming, it will then command the Z-Wave devices in Group 4 to the
ZDW120’s new level. To prevent the ZDW120 from commanding the Z-Wave devices in Group 4 during this
particular occurrence, set Parameter 13 to the value of 1.
Night Light
• Parameter No: 3
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
