4.2 Z-Wave netværksintegration (parring)

To integrate the dimmer switch into your Z-Wave network:

1. Ensure your Z-Wave controller (hub/gateway) is in "inclusion" or "discovery" mode. Refer to your controller's manual for specific instructions.
2. On the WD500Z-1 dimmer switch, press the bottom part of the rocker switch (OFF) once.
3. The switch will send a signal to the controller. The controller should confirm successful inclusion.
4. Test the switch by turning it ON/OFF and adjusting dimming levels via your Z-Wave controller.

5. Operating the Dimmer Switch

5.1 Manuel kontrol

• Tænd/sluk: Press the top part of the rocker switch to turn lights ON. Press the bottom part to turn lights OFF.
• Dæmpning: Press and hold the top part of the rocker switch to increase brightness. Press and hold the bottom part to decrease brightness. Release the switch when the desired brightness level is reached.

5.2 Z-Wave Remote Control

Once paired with a Z-Wave controller, the WD500Z-1 can be controlled remotely via your Z-Wave hub, smartphone app, or other Z-Wave devices. This includes ON/OFF functionality, dimming to specific percentages, and inclusion in programmed lighting "scenes."

• Scene Command Class: The switch supports Z-Wave's Scene Command Class, allowing it to be part of complex lighting scenes where multiple Z-Wave devices are controlled simultaneously.
• LED-indikator: The small blue LED indicator lamp shines when the switch is on by default. This behavior can often be configured through your Z-Wave controller to illuminate when the switch is off, or to be disabled entirely.

6. Vedligeholdelse

The GoControl WD500Z-1 dimmer switch requires minimal maintenance. To clean the device, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure power is disconnected before cleaning if removing the wall plate.

7. Fejlfinding

• Lights do not turn ON/OFF or dim:
  • Check the circuit breaker and ensure power is restored to the switch.
  • Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct, especially the neutral wire.
  • Ensure the connected light fixture is compatible with dimming and that the bulbs are dimmable.
  • Confirm the total wattage of connected lights does not exceed 500 watts.
• Switch does not respond to Z-Wave commands:
  • Ensure the switch is properly included in your Z-Wave network. Try re-pairing if necessary.
  • Check the distance between the switch and your Z-Wave controller or other Z-Wave devices. Z-Wave has a range of up to 100 feet between devices.
  • Verify your Z-Wave controller is functioning correctly.
• LED-indikatoren fungerer ikke som forventet:
  • Check your Z-Wave controller settings for options to configure the LED indicator behavior.
• Physical fit issues in electrical box:
  • Some older or smaller electrical boxes may have limited space. Ensure wires are neatly folded. Do not remove the plastic enclosure of the switch.
