Invert Switch
• Parameter No: 4
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
To change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch to ON, set parameter 4 to 1.
Ignore Start Level When Receiving Dim Commands
• Parameter No: 5
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
The ZDW120 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 1 will cause the ZDW120 to ignore the start level and cause
it to dim or brighten from its current level.
Don’t Send Level Command After Transmitting Dim Commands
• Parameter 6
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
When you press and hold the bottom of the ZDW120 switch once, the Z-Wave devices that are associated into
Group 1 are sent the Dim command. After you release the switch, the ZDW120 follows up by commanding the
devices to go to the same level of the ZDW120. The user has the ability to stop the ZDW120 from commanding
the Z-Wave devices to do this by setting parameter 6 to a value of 1.
Adjusting Dim Rate
• Parameter 7-12
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values: (See below)
There are 3 sets of parameters that can adjust the dimming rate of the ZDW120.
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).
2. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer is locally controlled.
3. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer receives an ALL ON or ALL OFF command.
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
max to min or min to max at various speeds between 10 millisecond and 252.45 seconds (over 4.25 minutes).
