Product Usage Instructions

  1. Before installing the product, read the user manual
    carefully.
  2. In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network, it must
    be in factory default state. Reset the device to factory default by
    performing an exclusion operation as described in the manual. It is
    recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network
    to ensure the device is excluded properly from that network.
  3. To reset the device without any involvement of a Z-Wave
    controller, press and hold the Action button on the product housing
    for 20 seconds and then release. This procedure should only be used
    when the primary controller is missing or inoperable.
  4. Connect the device to your mains power supply.
  5. Turn the primary controller of your Z-Wave network into
    inclusion mode.
  6. Short press the Action button on the product housing to add it
    to your network. The Action button can be found on the product
    housing.

Note: Only authorized technicians under
consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms
may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the
product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured
against re-switching.

Nano Dimmer
SKU: AEOEZW111

Quickstart
This is a secure Light Dimmer for Europe. To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply. Turn the primary controller of Z-Wave network into inclusion mode, short press the products Action button that you can find on the product”s housing.

Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.
What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.
Product Description
Aeotec Nano Dimmer is a Z-Wave Smart Dimmer specifically used to enable Z-Wave command and control (on/off/dim) of any wall switches. It can report immediate wattage consumption or kWh energy usage over a period of time. In the event of power failure, non-volatile memory retains all programmed information relating to the units operating status. It can connect to 2 external manual switches to control the load ON/OFF independently. Its surface has a pin socket, which can be used for connecting to the touch panel, so you can also use the touch panel to control the Nano Dimmer. The Nano Dimmer is also a security Z-Wave plus device and supports Over The Air (OTA) feature for the products firmware upgrade.
Prepare for Installation / Reset
Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.
Reset to factory default
This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
Press and hold the Action button that you can find on the product”s housing for 20 seconds and then release. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is missing or inoperable.
Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
Installation
1. Shut off the main circuit breaker of your home for safety during the installation and ensure the wires are not short circuited during the installation which will cause damage to the Nano Dimmer 2. Preparing connection wires 14 AWG or 12 AWG power wires for Input/Output. 18 AWG copper wires for external manual switch. Use the wire stripper cut the metallic part of the connection wire and make sure the length of the metallic part is about 5mm. Note: All connection wires need to be flexible cable

You may need to connect a small power load (E.g. a LED light or a compact fluorescent lamp) to be controlled. In this case, the Nano Dimmer may not get enough power from the AC power supply, so a bypass can be added to act as a dummy load to keep your Nano Dimmer get enough power from the power supply. It can also keep your light from flickering when diming off the light.

The below diagram will show you that the Nano Dimmer uses the SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) switches as the external manual switch.

Since the S1 port and S2 port can be used to control the load separately, you can choose to connect the SPDT switches to the S1 or S2.

Inclusion/Exclusion
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.
Inclusion
1. Install the device according to the instructions. 2. Press the button 2 times within 1 second on the Nano Dimmer.
Exclusion
1. Press the button once on the Nano Dimmer.

Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include. 2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency. 3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays. 4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller. 5. Dont poll FLIRS devices. 6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.
Association Groups:

Group Number 1

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms
Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network. Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers. Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network. Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls. Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network. Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network. Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network. Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and a controlled device.
