Safety warnings
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION- To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before installation and maintenance.
- Be aware that even if the circuit breaker is off, some voltage may remain in the wires — before proceeding with the installation, be sure no voltage is present in the wiring.
- Take extra precautions to avoid accidentally turning on the device during installation.
- Connect the device according to the wiring diagram.
Danger of electrocution!
Installation of this device requires a great degree of skill and may be performed only by a licensed and qualified electrician. Please keep in mind that even when the device is turned off, the voltage may still be present in the device’s terminals.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
Wireless communication is not always 100% reliable. This device should not be used in situations in which life and/or valuables are solely dependent on its functioning. If the device is not recognized by your gateway (hub) or shows up incorrectly, you may need to change the device type manually and make sure your gateway (hub) supports Z-Wave Plus devices.
WARNING
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being. When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for disposal free of charge.

SmartStart inclusion
SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.
- The Z-Wave QR-Code is located on the back of the product.
- Please follow your SmartStart enabled Z-Wave gateway‘s manual, on how to use SmartStart inclusion.
- Install the TechniSat Dimmer.
- After checking the correct installation, re-enable electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker
- The TechniSat Dimmer will be added to your Z-Wave network within 10 minutes after re-enabling electrical power.
Manually adding the device to the Z-Wave network
- Install the TechniSat Dimmer.
- After checking the correct installation, re-enable electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.
- Start the Z-Wave device add mode on your Z-Wave gateway, according to the gateway‘s manual.
- Press position T1 3x within 1 second.
- The red status LED is on while the device is added to the Z-Wave network.
- The green LED is on for 5 seconds after successfully adding the device.
Removing the device from the Z-Wave network
- Start the Z-Wave device remove mode on your Z-Wave gateway, according to the gateway‘s manual.
- Press and hold position T1 for more than 10 seconds.
- The red status LED is on while the device is removed from the Z-Wave network.
- The green LED is on for 5 seconds after successfully removing the device.
Factory Default Reset
Use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
- Press and hold position T2 for more than 20 seconds.
- The LED will alternately flash red and green for 5 seconds after a successful reset.

Supported Association Groups
| ID | Name | Max group members | CC-Commands |
| 1 | Lifeline | 1 | – Device Reset Locally Notification – Central Scene notification – Meter Report – Multilevel Switch Report – Notification Report |
| 2 | Switch State | 10 | – Basic Set |
Basic Command Class
This device controls members of association group 2 with Basic Command Class Set commands.
The set commands mirror the device‘s state.
When the device is set to a specific multilevel value, the same value is sent as a Basic Set to members in association group 2.
If the target value is unspecific, because the up or down buttons are held (the dimmer will dim until the button is released or min/max brightness is reached), a Basic Set with the min/max dimming value corresponding with the current direction of dimming (either 0x01 or 0x63)) will be sent to members in association group 2.
If dimming is stopped before min/max brightness is reached, an additional Basic Set command with the current dimming value where the dimming was stopped, will be sent to members in association group 2.
Notification Command Class
| Notification Type | Notification Event | Description |
| Power Management (0x08) | Idle (0x00) | No event detected/event cleared |
| Overload detected (0x08) | The maximum resistive load on L1 has been exceeded |

Central Scene
The Dimmer can send central scene activation notifications to a Z-Wave gateway.
Pressing the respective button position multiple times will send the corresponding scene number:
| Button position | T1 | T2 | S (switch connected to extension input) |
| Scene number | 1 | 2 | 1 or 2 or 3 depending on configuration parameter 6 |
The following Z-Wave key attributes are available for all scenes:
| Button position pressed | Z-Wave key attribute |
| two times | Key Pressed 2 times |
| three times | Key Pressed 3 times |
| four times | Key Pressed 4 times |
| five times | Key Pressed 5 times |
Firmware update
This device supports firmware update via Z-Wave. For enhanced security, the device requires a manual confirmation, before an update of the device‘s firmware can be initiated. To perform a firmware update follow these steps:
- Follow your Z-Wave gateway‘s manual, on how to update the firmware of a Z-Wave device.
- From your gateway issue a Z-Wave request to get the current firmware version of the device to be updated.
- When the request has been received, your device‘s LED will glow red for 10 seconds.
- While the LED glows red, press T1 or T2 to allow a firmware update – the LED will now glow green for 10 seconds.
- While the LED glows green, start the device‘s firmware update from your gateway.
