2. CONNECTION
DML-004-003 extension module 4 dimmable outputs can function in “stand-alone” mode or in
slave mode behind:
 A relay output module DMC/DKS-012-00x
 A relay output module DMC/DKS-008-001
 A master control module DME-LAN
Wiring example:
Note: The output terminals are doubled. The two terminals correspond to the output signal of the phase. The
neutral of the lamps is connected directly to the circuit breaker (see diagram).

3. CONFIGURATION
3.1 Addressing from the application “Domestia
Home Manager” (via the master module)
When the module is connected to the master module of the type DMC-
008-001 (from the firmware V1.28), DMC-012-003 or DME-LAN-002 (from the
firmware V3.0) module DML-004-003 can be addressed from our
programmation app. « Domestia Home Manager ».
1) Automatical addressing: Click on « Add automatically », it scans the
RS485 bus and recognizes the connected modules. Then it is still
possible to modify the module’s address thanks to the arrows « up »
and « down ».
2) Half-automatical addressing: click on “Add half-automatically» then
press the addressing button of the module(s) DML-004-003 to add.
Click again on «Add half-automatically» to end the process of
adding modules.
3.2 Manual addressing
To make the DML-004-003 compatible with the older master modules
(DMC012-002, DME-LAN-001) the module can be addressed via the
addressing button.
1) Press during 4 seconds on the addressing button (till the blue LED
goes off)
2) Then press as many times as the wished address requires (see
addressing table). The LED indicator lights up at each press. (max.
delay of 2 seconds between the successive pushes)
3) After a delay of 2 seconds following the last press the blue LED
flashes the number of times that the button has been pushed to
confirm the address.

3.3 Addressing’s reset to factory settings
To clear the module’s address press the addressing button during a time between 10 and
14 seconds. When the button is released the LED flashes 10 times after a delay of 3 seconds
to confirm the action.
Note: during the press on that button the LED lights up during 4 seconds then goes off and
lights up every two seconds as long as the button is pressed.
3.4 Configuration of the type of lighting element(s) and the minimum
level of intensity
3.4.1 Configuration from the application “Domestia Home Manager”
When this module is connected to a master module of the type DMC-008-001 (from the
firmware V1.28), DMC-012-003 or DME-LAN-002 (from the firmware V3.0) module DML-004-003
can be configured from our programmation app. « Domestia Home Manager ».
From the output-configuration window click on the icon
1- Select the dimming « Mode »
a. Leading Edge (Triac Mode) OBLIGATORY for all inductive loads (ex: electromagnetic
transformer)
1
2

4

6
b. Trailing Edge (Reverse mode) PROHIBITED for all inductive loads (ex: electromagnetic
transformer)
The « Mode » which will give the best result depends on the type of LIGHTBULBs used.
2- With the "Minimum" potentiometer you can choose the lighting value when the gradation
level is at minimum. The minimum setting depends on the lamp models used, their number
and the dimming Mode (Leading edge or Trialing edge). The dimmer’s ouptut is lit at the
minimum level to visualize the actual setting.
Do not select a minimum intensity that’s too close to the minimum tolerated by the lamps =>
The voltage of the electrical network may change over time and the lamps may not light up
or they may flicker at a low ignition level.
3- The "Curve" changes the way the current changes as a function of the dimming percentage.
Generally the curve "Exponential 1" is the best choice.
4- Indicates the temperature of the output heatsink.
3.4.2 Configuration from the module’s setting button (BP Settings)
DML-004-003 module is designed to work with different variable types of loads. The configuration must be
adapted in function of the type of load.
DOMESTIA DOES NOT GUARANTY THAT ALL “LED” MODELS WILL FUCTION CORRECTLY: For more informations,
contact your LED lamp dealer.
A) Setting of the dimming mode (Trailing or Leading Edge)
Leading Edge = « Triac » Mode OBLIGATORY for all inductive loads
Trailing Edge = « Reverse mode ». Most current lamps work best in this mode.
The DIP SWITCH allows you to adapt the function mode of each output individually. The “dip
switch” will be placed either in its original position (OFF), or in position (ON).
In case of inductive load the DIP SWITCH must obligatory be placed in its original position,
OFF (downwards) => Leading Edge Mode
For the other types of loads a test run is the best way to determine the correct setting. Some lamps will work
as well in one mode as in the other.
The « Trailing Edge » mode (Dip Switch in position ON => upward) generally generates less heating.
Note: The setting must be made when the module is powered.
B) Setting of the minimum intensity level
1- Make a long Press on the « BP Settings » till the corresponding blue LED goes off (4 seconds).
2- Select the channel to be set by short presses on the « BP Settings ». The flashing LED moves with each
press.
3- Make a long press the « BP Settings » to activate the selected channel in the setting mode. The LED
lights up permanently and the channel lights up at the minimum level.
4- Set the minimum level by briefly pressing the « BP Settings » => The set level is directly adjusted to the
selected output. 20 settings levels are possible.
5- To return to the channel selection for setting (step 2) make a long press on the « BP Settings ».
6- To leave the setting mode press the « BP Adress ».

3.5 Programming
3.5.1 Programming from the software « Domestia Home Manager »
a) From the output configuration click on « Programming the pushbuttons ». The dimmer’s output lights
up.
b) Press during minimum 2 seconds the pushbutton(s) that must command this output to associate
them.
c) Click again on « Programming the pushbuttons » to leave the output’s programmation.
3.5.2 Programming from an old module DMC-012-002
When module DML-004-003 is connected as a slave of an old module DMC-012-002 it has to be programmed
in the impulse mode, that means that LEDS « C » and « E » are lit (see « Diagram B » or user’s manual for the
DMC-012-002). Then select the output to program with the LEFT and RIGHT keys from module DMC-012-002.
Activate the selected output in the programmation mode with the CENTER key. Press during minimum 2
seconds the pushbutton(s) that must command this output to associate them. Press on the CENTER key again
to leave this output’s programmation.
4. OPERATION
4.1 Working in slave mode
As long as a pushbutton (PB) is pressed, the associated output will be dimmed. A short press on the PB when
the ouput is « switched on », will light this one off. A short press on the PB when the ouput is « switched off »,
will « light up» the ouput at the last luminosity level at which this output has been set.
4.2 Working in stand-alone mode
 A short press on the PB when the output is « switched on », will light this one off. A short press on the PB
when the output is « switched off », will « light up» the output at the last luminosity level at which this
output has been set. A continuous press on the PB will dim the output.
 With an output ALL OFF all the outputs will be « switched off »,. The output ALL ON will « switch on » all
the outputs at the last luminosity level that has been set.
 Be careful: the PB (NO 230 Vac) have to be connected between the phase (terminals 22-23) and the
inputs (terminals 8-9-10-11-12-13)
Reminder: in the stand-alone mode, you don’t need to use identification modules. (DMI-006-001)

5. ERROR CODES
Functioning normally:
The LED associated to the output channel is lit continually when activated, and off when it is inactive. In case
of malfunction, the table below gives a series of error codes.
STATUS Problem Possible Causes
The LEDs 1 to 4 lights up in
sequence.
Impossible to control the
lights.
Verify the connections to the bus RS485 (connection
between the DML-004-003 and the master module)
LEDs 1, 2, 3 or 4 blink
(simultaneously) every
second.
Overheating of the channels:
the thermal protection was
activated.
- The connected element is too powerful.
- The surrounding temperature is too high.
- The selected dimming mode is not appropriate.

rapidly (2 times/ second). Short-circuit or overload.
- The output is in short-circuit.
- The connected element is much too powerful.
- The connected element is not configured correctly
(See the configuration for the « Dimming mode »
THE LEDs function
normally. The lights will not turn on.
- Verify the connections of the lights.
- The outputs are not programmed in mode relay (C
+ E) (in the case of a master module DMC-012-002).
