Danger of Electrocution
All works on the device may be performed only by a qualified and licensed electrician. Observe national regulations. Any work introducing changes into the configuration must be always performed with disconnected voltage. Choosing a Suitable Location
- Do NOT place the module/device direct under sunlight, in a humid place, or in any location where they may contact with moisture, dirt, or dust.
- Do NOT place the module/device where exists combustible substance or any source of heat, fires, radiators, boiler, etc.
- When the module/device be used, the module/device might get warm. This is a normal condition.
Adding to Z-Wave™ Network
There is a button with LED indicator in front of PAD18. It is used to dim on/off the light and carry out the inclusion, exclusion, reset, or association of PAD18 from Z-wave controller.
When the first power one, the LED indicator flashes once per second for 30 seconds. With the SmartStart function, PAD18 will be automatically included by Z-wave controller. PAD18 can be operated with any certified Z-Wave™ devices from different manufacturers in the Z-Wave™ network. All non-battery operating devices act as repeaters to increase the stability and reliability of the Z-Wave™ network.
The table below provides an operation summary of basic ZWave™ functions. To add/remove/associate PAD18, please refer to the instruction of the certified Z-Wave™ Primary Controller.
| Function | Description | Annotation |
|
Without Node ID | New PAD18 does not have Node ID until it is included by a Z-Wave™ Controller. | LED light flashes once per second for 30 seconds. |
|
Add (Classic Inclusion) | 1. Set Z-Wave™ Controller to inclusion mode by following the instructions provided by the controller manufacturer. 2. Press the button on PAD18 three times within 3 seconds to enter inclusion mode. |

LED Light Indication
The LED light indicates the different modes of the PAD18
| State Type | LED Indication |
| Without Node ID | Under normal operation, when the PAD18 has not been allocated a node ID, the LED light will flash on and off alternately at 1-second intervals. By pressing the On/Off button, the LED light will stop flashing temporarily. |
| Learning | Flashes when learning is successful |
Manual Dimming Level Control
- Long press the button, and the light level will be increased and decreased, slowly and repeatedly.
- Short press the button, and the light will be on/off to the last light level.
- User can set Z-Wave™ Configuration 1 according to different switch types as the following form tells:
| Input Switch Type | Config 1 Set Value | Long Press | Short Press |
| Button on PAD 18 | – | Dimming | On / Off |
| General Switch | 0 | Dimming | On / Off |
| Variable Resistor | 1 | Dimming | – |
Z-Wave™ Functions
Basic Command Class and Multilevel Switch Command Class are two parts of the Z-Wave™ system. PAD18 responds to both Basic Command Class and Multilevel Switch Command Class. However, if PAD18 is included as a secure node, it responds only to the security encapsulation command of Basic Command Class and MultilevelSwitch
Command Class.
The Basic Command Class is mapped according to the following table.
| Basic Command | Mapped Command |
| Basic Set (Value) | Multilevel Switch Set (Value) |
| Basic Report (Current Value, Duration) | Multilevel Switch Report (Value, Duration) |
Z-Wave™ Association Groups
PAD18 can be set to send reports to associated Z-Wave™ devices. It supports one association group with five nodes support for group 1.
For group 1, the dimmer will report MULTILEVEL_SWITCH_REPORT SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_REPORT and DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION.
- Grouping 1 Lifeline (Maximum 5 nodes).
- MULTILEVEL_SWITCH_REPORT When “on” or “off” state has been changed, It will send Multilevel Switch Report to the nodes of Grouping 1.
- SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_REPORT When the sensor is changed exceeds a threshold.
- DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION When PAD18 is reset manually, it will send DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION to the nodes of group 1.
