Ignore Start Level When Receiving Dim Commands
• Parameter No: 5
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
The ZDW103 can be set to ignore the start level that is part of the dim command, regardless of whether the
command itself is telling the dimmer to ignore the start level or not ignore the start level embedded in the command
(see Parameter 1). Setting parameter 5 to a value of 0 will cause the ZDW103 to stop ignoring the start level and
cause it to dim based on the command sent.
Don’t Send Level Command After Transmitting Dim Commands
• Parameter 6
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
When you press and hold the bottom of the ZDW103 switch once, the Z-Wave devices that are associated into
Group 1 are sent the Dim command. By setting this parameter to 0 you can have the ZDW103 follow up the dim
command with a command to set the devices to the same level as the ZDW103.
Adjusting Dim Rate
• Parameter 7-12
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values: (See next)
There are 3 sets of parameters that can adjust the dimming rate of the ZDW103.
1. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer receives a Z-Wave command
excluding ALL ON or ALL OFF command (Parameter 7 and 8).
2. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer is locally controlled (Parameter 9 and 10).
3. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer receives an ALL ON or ALL OFF command
(Parameter 11 and 12).
These values can be changed instantly to allow various scenes and effects.
The first of these parameters is the “dim step” (dim rate) parameter. It can be set to a value of 1 to 99. This value
indicates how many levels the dimmer will change when the timer (discussed below) expires.
The second parameter is the timing (how fast the dim rate) parameter. It can be set to a value of 1 to 255.
This value indicates in 10 millisecond resolution, how often the dim level will change. For example, if you set this
parameter to 1, then every 10mS the dim level will change. If you set it to 255, then every 2.55 seconds the dim
level will change.
With the combination of the two parameters that can control the dim rate, the dimmer can be adjusted to dim from
maximum to minimum or minimum to maximum at various speeds between 10 millisecond and 252.45 seconds
(over 4.25 minutes).
