6. Commissioning

• Depending on the level of battery charge in the
automated control, adding a ZV900 to the circuit
may extend the initial charging time of the control,
and LCD displays may take more time than usual
to show. Once fully charged, the ZV900 will
maintain the charged state, and allow normal
operation of the control.

• Due to the circuitry of this unit a very slight delay
in switching the lamps/luminaires off maybe
experienced when the connected automatic switch
turns off. During this brief period, CFL lamps and

8 9

LED lamps may exhibit flickering or glowing.
