3. Qubino Mini Dimmer Advantages and Highlights

3.1. Advantages

  • The Qubino Mini Dimmer does not need additional protection fuse beside the installation one (the fuse is part of the device).
  • When using the Qubino Mini Dimmer in a 2-Wired system (without the neutral line), the illuminance of the light will be most effectively utilised, compared to other dimmers on the market.

Example: dimming a halogen bulb of max illuminance of 100 lux and setting the dimming value to 100%

Qubino minidimmer - Advantages - 1

NOTE: The testing samples of the Mini Dimmer, have the maximum dimming value, in a 2-Wired system, is limited to 55% by the software. Check parameter no. 130.

- The Qubino Mini Dimmer allows the easiest and quickest installation possible. Because of its small size, it fits smoothly in even the smallest, most shallow and-most crowded flush mounting boxes, which are stuffed with lots of electrical cables and where every millimetre counts. All this is possible because the Qubino Mini Dimmer is the smallest Z-Wave dimmer in the world.

This means it can be mounted fast and easy behind a classic switch, which reduces assembly time and installation expenses.

7. Installation

Before installing the device, please read the following carefully and follow the instructions exactly:

i 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, voltage may still be present in the device's terminals.

i NOTE

Do not connect the device to loads exceeding the recommended values. Connect the device exactly as shown in the provided diagrams. Improper wiring may be dangerous and result in equipment damage.

i LED Bulbs Compatibility NOTE

We can guarantee dimming compatibility only with halogen bulbs. For dimming LED bulbs please refer to the manufacturer's specifications and make sure to read their recommendations, as dimming behaviour can vary. To ensure acceptable dimming performance we advise independent test, before starting a large-scale installation.

7.1. Installing the device behind a light switch

The installation process, tested and approved by professional electricians, consists of the following simple steps:

Step 1 – Turn OFF the fuse:

  • 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 the device on during installation.

• 1 - 98 = 1% - 98%, step is 1%. Minimum dimming value is set by entering a value.

NOTE: The minimum level may not be higher than the maximum level! 1% min. dimming value is defined by the Z-Wave multilevel device class.

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 60 - Minimum dimming value - 1

Parameter no. 61 - Maximum dimming value

The value set in this parameter determines the maximum dimming value (the highest value which can be set on the device, when, for example, dimming lights with wall switch or slider in the GUI (Gateway - hub)) Values (size is 1 byte dec):

• default value 99 = 99% (Maximum dimming value)
- 2 - 99 = 2% - 99%, step is 1%. Maximum dimming value is set by entering a value.

NOTE: The maximum level may not be lower than the minimum level! 99% max. dimming value is defined by the Z-Wave multilevel device class.

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 61 - Maximum dimming value - 1

Parameter no. 65 - Dimming time (soft on/off)

Choose the time during which the device will move between the min. and max. dimming values by a short press of the push-button I1 or through the UI controls (SwitchBinarySet, SwitchAllON/OFF).

Values (size is 2 byte dec):

• default value 10 = 1s
- 5 - 255 = 500 milliseconds - 25500 milliseconds (25.5s), step is 100 milliseconds

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 65 - Dimming time (soft on/off) - 1

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 65 - Dimming time (soft on/off) - 2

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 65 - Dimming time (soft on/off) - 3

Parameter no. 66 – Dimming time when key pressed

Choose the time during which the Dimmer will move between the min. and max. dimming values during a continuous press of the push-button I1, by an associated device or through the UI controls (BasicSet, SwitchMultilevelSet).

Values (size is 2 byte dec):

  • default value 3 = 3s
    • 1-255 = 1 second - 255 seconds

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 66 – Dimming time when key pressed - 1

Parameter no. 67 – Ignore start level

Choose whether the device should use (or disregard) the start dimming level value. If the device is configured to use the start level, it should start the dimming process from the currently set dimming level. This parameter is used with association group 3.

Values (size is 1 byte dec):

  • default value 0
  • 0 – use the start level value
    • 1 - ignore the start level value

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 67 – Ignore start level - 1

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 67 – Ignore start level - 2

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 67 – Ignore start level - 3

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 67 – Ignore start level - 4

Parameter no. 68 – Dimming duration

Choose the time during which the device will transition from the current value to the new target value. This parameter applies to the association group 3.

Values (size is 1 byte dec):

• default value 0 (dimming duration according to parameter 66)
• 1 - 127 (from 1 to 127 seconds)

Qubino minidimmer - Parameter no. 68 – Dimming duration - 1

Parameter no. 70 - Overload safety switch

The function allows for turning off the controlled device in case of exceeding the defined power for more than 5s. Controlled device can be turned back on by input I1 or sending a control frame.

Values (size is 2 byte dec):

  • default value 200
    • 1 - 200 = 1 W - 200W
    • 0 = function not active

NOTE: This functionality is not an overload safety protection, please check the technical specifications chapter for more details.

In case of overload the following message will be send towards the controller:

• COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION_V5
• The Alarm V1 type field set to 0x08
- Notification Type 0x08

Parameter no. 130 – Zero connection

The value set in this parameter determines if the module is connected in 3 or 2-Wired system. The default configuration is the 3-Wired system. To ensure correct power measuring and LED dimming please set this parameter to the right value depending on the wire connection type.

Values (size is 1 byte dec):

• default value 0 (Mini Dimmer in 3-Wired system)
• 1 (Mini Dimmer in 2-Wired system)

NOTE valid for testing samples only: When this parameter is configured it will automatically set the minimum dimming value to 12% and the maximum dimming value to 55%. It is possible to configure the minimum and maximum values between those limits.

Power consumption reporting:

Power consumption in kWh is reported in 0.1kWh intervals.

Overload protection:

Maximum Power Limit is automatically set by the device's software which is 230 Watt. If the maximum power is exceeded for more than 5 seconds, the dimmer will turn off until the next power cycle. If this happens, check if the load matches device specifications and if connections are according to the diagram. To restore the dimmer to its regular operation, please power cycle the device.

When overload occurs, an “Over-load detected” notification is sent to the gateway (hub).

Maximum Power Limit is not same as Overload safety switch (parameter no. 70).

Toggle Switch Mode:

Switch toggles (parameter 1 set to 1) the state of the light bulb between the last dimming value and 0. If the last dimming value is 0 then the light is turned 100% ON when the switch changes its state.

Bulb types which support dimming function:

• Traditional incandescent bulbs
• Halogen bulbs operated by 230 V AC (High Voltage Halogen)
• Low voltage halogen bulbs with electronic or conventional transformers
- Dimmable compact fluorescent bulb (CFL). If the bulb flickers, set the parameter 60 (minimum dimming value) to value 30 or up
• Dimmable LED bulbs
