INSTALLATION - BASICS

• Disconnect the installation supply voltage before installing the controller. Remember that any mounting works should be carried out when the mains voltage is disconnected (switch off the mains fuse or disconnect the power cord from the mains socket).

• The controller should be installed in a place protected against adverse environmental conditions, protected from third party access - in the flush box or inside the enclosure of the controlled device. Remember that metallic elements (wires, housing parts) have a negative influence on the range of the device, and consequently the comfort of use. It is recommended that the device be mounted in a stable and fixed position. Due to the operating voltage of the device it is necessary that the connectors of the controller be protected against accidental contacts or short circuits, which could cause electric shock or damage to the device.

• Read the diagram and then proceed to install the controller. Pay particular attention to the designation of the controller connectors. Start with power wires - phase L (usually brown) and neutral N (blue). Then, connect the load. If you only want a local control with a wall switch, connect the wall push-button according to the diagram. To control using only your phone or Tablet, it is not necessary to install the wall push-button.

• The controller supports all types of double monostable push-button. The order of connection of the S1 / S2 input, to the right / left push-button does not matter at the installation stage - it can be set at a later stage of the controller configuration.
  ● After making sure that the device is connected in accordance with the diagram and that there are no metal components near the controller which may accidentally cause short-circuit, start the device by turning on the power (turning on the mains fuse or connecting the power cord to the power outlet).

ST START

• Download the free wBox application. If you have an Android mobile device, you will find the application in the Play Store. For iOS devices the application is in the App Store.
• By using your mobile phone or tablet, connect it to the device wireless network. To do this, enter to your smartphone or tablet settings, then go to setting of the WiFi network and find the network name „dimmerBox-xxxxxxxxx” where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the device. Connect to this network.
• Turn on the wBox application. A device will appear at the top of the screen. To add it to the application, click on "plus" on the right side of the name. To pre-configure the controller, click on the default device name.

You can also set the configuration using the web browser of your phone / tablet. After connecting to the wireless network of the controller, turn on the browser and go website www.blebox.eu

- After clicking on the device name, a window will appear informing you that you need to select the type of load (the type of lighting that the dimmerBox will control). Go to "Settings" (icon at the top-right corner of the screen) and select the appropriate option in the "Load Type" box.

Remember that choosing the wrong option it can cause permanently damage to the controller and to the light source!

If you change the load type in the future, e.g. by replacing the traditional bulbs with LEDs, first select the load type for "None", remove old bulbs, add new ones and in the next step change the load type to "LED bulb". Never add to controlled circuit, different types of load, e.g. a traditional bulb and a LED bulbs, or selecting the wrong load type.

• After saving the settings, go to the main panel by clicking the arrow top-left corner of the screen. Test the controller by moving the scrollbar several times in extreme and intermediate positions - the light source should change its brightness.
• If you have connected a wall push-button, go to the settings and then in the "Buttons" option select the type of mounted push-button - with a single button or two buttons. Then check its work. For a single-button, a single click will cause that the light will switch on and switch off accordingly. Holding the push-button generates an increase in the brightness of the light source or its attenuation. For a button with two buttons, one of the buttons is forswitch off (single click) or dimming (hold down) while the other is for turn on increase the intensity of the light source.

ACCESS POINT AND WIFI NETWORK SETTINGS

• Once you turn on the controller for the first time, you can proceed to its further configuration. Being connected to the WiFi network emitted by the device, in the control panel of the wBox application select the device, then go to "Settings" (icon at the top-right corner of the screen).
• You can change the name of the device that is displayed in the wBox application. In addition, you can change the name and password of its generated WiFi network. Remember that changing the network name or password will disconnect the device immediately after you click the "Save" button, so re-connect to the device using the newly assigned network name and password.
• You can add the controller to your home WiFi network to control it through this home network or from anywhere in the World. To do this, in the "Connect" settings section, select a network name from the list and press "Connect". If is required, enter the WiFi network password. During the connection of the controller to your home network, the phone / tablet may disconnected from the network. In this case, you will need to reconnect your phone / tablet to the controller network.
  Please remember that in order to control the device outside the local WiFi network, from anyplace in the World by using the wBox application, the option "Remote access enabled" in the controller settings must be set to "Yes".
  Once you've finished configuring the WiFi network, you can disconnect your phone/tablet from the controller network and connect your mobile device directly to your home WiFi network. The control from the wBox application will work the same way as when the phone / tablet is connected to the controller network. If the user leaves the local network, for example, leaving home or using the mobile data, the wBox application will signal this state as "Remote mode". In this case, the devices can be controlled, but for security reasons settings are not available.
