1. Overview

SD-101 is a security enabled wireless dimmer, based on Z-Wave Plus technology. Z-Wave
PlusTM enabled devices displaying the Z-Wave PlusTM logo can also be used with it
regardless of the manufacturer, and can also be used in other manufacturer’s Z-WaveTM
enabled networks. You can On/Off the light by pressing the button briefly, or a long pressing
to control the brightness of dimmable light bulb.
This dimmer is a transceiver which is a security enabled device which based on Z-Wave
Plus technology, and it is fully compatible with any Z-WaveTM enabled network. Since
SD-101 supports Security Command Class, it can learn with a Secured enabled controller
to fully utilize the device. Its functionality and supported command classes is identical when
included as a secure and non-secure device.

Built-in High Breaking Capacity current fuse protection.
Rating: 2A 250V.

Built-in Thermal Cut-off Fuses protection.
Rated Temperature: 125 °C; Rating: 2A 250V.

1.1 Adding to Z-WaveTM Network

In the front casing, there is an on/off button (also an include button) with LED indicator
below which is used to dim on and off or carries out inclusion, exclusion, reset or
association. When first power applied, its LED flashes on and off alternately and repeatedly
at 0.5 second intervals. It implies that it has not been assigned a node ID and start auto
inclusion.

1.2 Auto Inclusion

The function of auto inclusion will be executed as long as the dimmer does not have Node
ID and just connect the switch to main power.

Note: Auto inclusion timeout is 2 minute during which the node information of explorer

frame will be emitted once every several seconds. Unlike “inclusion” function as shown in

the table below, the execution of auto inclusion is free from pressing the On/Off button on
the dimmer.
The table below lists an operation summary of basic Z-Wave functions. Please refer to the
instructions for your Z-WaveTM Certificated Primary Controller to access the
Setup function, and to Add/Remove/associate devices.

Association

The SD-101 is an always listening Z-Wave
device, so associations may be added or
removed by a controller at any time.
Or If your controller requires to have the
SD-101 send a 'node information frame' or NIF
for associations, then pressing the On/Off
button three times within 2 seconds will cause
the SD-101 to send its NIF.

There are two groups for the dimmer.

Adding a node ID allocated by Z-Wave Controller means inclusion. Removing a node
ID allocated by Z-Wave Controller means exclusion.
Failed or success in including/excluding the node ID can be viewed from the Z-Wave
Controller.
