ADVANCED OPERATION

All On/All Off

The PD300EMZ5-1 supports the ALL ON / ALL OFF commands. The PD300EMZ5-1 can be set 
to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands four different ways.

Refer to your Controller for information on how to set the PD300EMZ5-1 to operate in the 
manner you desire. Some Controllers may be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL 
OFF response.

The four different ways the PD300EMZ5-1 can be setup to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF 
commands are:

1. 

Responds to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.

2. 

Responds to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.

3. 

Responds to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.

4. 

Responds to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.

CONFIGURATION

Adjusting Dim Rate

Dim Level

The brightness setting of the Dimmer is called the Dim Level. When the Dim Level is adjusted, 
the rate that Dim Level changes depends on the Dim Step (Parameter 7) and Dim Timer 
(Parameter 8) values. These values can be changed instantly to allow various scenes and 
effects.  These values can also vary between local control, remote commands from the hub or 
associated device and ALL ON/OFF commands.

Dim Step (remote and local)

Dim Step can be set to a value of 1 to 99. This value indicates how many levels the dimmer 
will change each time the Dim Timer expires.

Dim Timer (remote and local)

The Dim Timer (how fast the dim steps happen). 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.

Examples:

• If the Dim Timer parameter value is set to 1, every 10mS the Dim Level will change by the 
Dim Step value.

• If the Dim Timer parameter value is set to 255, every 2.55 seconds the Dim Level will change 
by the Dim Step value.

With the combination of the two parameter values that 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).

LED Intensity

You can set the intensity of the LED to fi t the environment the PD300EMZ5-1 is being used in 
from off to full brightness. This is done by changing Parameter 2.

Power Monitoring

The PD300EMZ5-1 provides a visual display of the amount of energy being 
consumed when the switch is turned on by illuminating the LEDs in one of 5 
different colors.

The Power Monitoring can be turned off untilizing Parameter 11. When turned off, the 
PD300EMZ5-1 will no longer illuminate the LED to indicate any energy use and periodic 
reports to the hub on energy use will also be turned off.

The PD300EMZ5-1 supports the Confi guration command.

 Each unit can be confi gured to 

operate slightly differently than how it works when you fi rst install it. 

Using the Confi guration command you can confi gure the following:

Night Light

By default, the LED on the PD300EMZ5-1 will turn OFF when the load attached is turned ON. 
To make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turned ON, set Parameter 3 to a value of 1.

Over-The-Air (OTA) Update

A Quadruple tap of the switch enables the fi rmware update mode. Firmware update mode 
must be entered before the system Controller sends the fi rmware update command to begin 
downloading new fi rmware. Firmware update mode is enabled for 60 seconds after the 
quadruple tap. If the Firmware update does not begin before the end of the 60 seconds then 
fi rmware update mode is exited returns to normal operation. The LED “winks” twice per second 
indicating it is in fi rmware update mode.

Resetting to Defaults

Each confi guration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting the default bit 
in the Confi guration Set command. See your Controller’s instructions on how to do this 
(and if it supports it). All confi guration commands will be reset to their default state when the 
PD300EMZ5-1 is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using the Controller to reset the node.
