1. Introduction
The Qubino RGBW Dimmer is designed to control your RGB/RGBW strips and LED strips or
bulbs in order to create countless color options and includes 6 special scene effects (Ocean,
Lightning, Rainbow, Snow, Romantic and Party). The wide range of colors lets you "paint" your
home according to your mood. Highlight your favourite wall by illuminating a picture on it in
tones that you choose yourself. The module can work in combination with the other Z-Wave
devices in your house. You can control it either remotely through the Z-Wave network or
through wall switches.
Choose from among 16 million different shades. Change the colors of your rooms and the
things in them and create lighting effects on outdoor surfaces such as summerhouses, paths
or even the outlines of your house. Come home from work to a relaxing atmosphere created by
a pre-set lighting scene. Use it to decorate your kitchen work surface or to light up the shower
or the mirror in your bathroom. Whatever the weather outside, let your living room glow in
warm and welcoming rainbow colors. And all this by simply tapping your smartphone or tablet!
The Qubino Flush RGBW Dimmer module can operate across a wide temperature range, from a
chilly 0˚C to a scorching 40˚C (32˚–104˚F). Every module acts as a repeater in order to improve
the range and stability of the Z-Wave network

5. Installation

EN.

EN.
After Qubino installation:

EN.
The installation process, tested and approved by professional electricians, consists of the
following simple steps:
1. Before the installation disconnect power supply (12 - 24VDC).
2. Connect the module exactly according to the diagram.
3. Pull out the antenna and keep it at 90 degree to enhance the RF signals.
4. Place the antenna as far as possible from metal elements as they may cause signal
interference.
5. Do not shorten the antenna.
ⓘ Danger of electrocution!
Installation of this module requires a great degree of skill and may be performed only by a
licensed and qualified electrician. Please keep in mind that even when the module is turned off,
voltage may still be present in the module’s terminals.
ⓘ Note!
Do not connect the module to loads exceeding the recommended values. Connect the module
exactly as shown in the provided diagrams. Improper wiring may be dangerous and result in
equipment damage. Device must be powered by a dedicated regulated power adapter.

8. Z-Wave Inclusion

EN.
AUTO-INCLUSION
1. Enable inclusion mode on your Z-Wave controller
2. Connect the module to the power supply
3. Auto-inclusion will be initiated within 5 seconds of connection to the power supply and the
module will automatically enrol in your network. If the device is properly included, the RGBW
strip will blink once. Auto-inclusion times out after 2 minutes.
MANUAL INCLUSION
1. Connect the module to the power supply
2. Enable inclusion mode on your Z-Wave controller
3. Press and release the S (Service) button 3 times within 2 seconds

EN.
9. Z-Wave Exclusion
Z-WAVE EXCLUSION
1. Connect the module to the power supply
2. Make sure the module is within direct range of your Z-Wave controller or use a hand-held Z-
Wave remote to perform exclusion
3. Press and release the S (Service) button 3 times within 2 seconds
4. After exclusion module will automatically attempt to re-include in the next 2 minutes.
NOTE: The module will be excluded from your network, but any custom configuration
parameters will not be erased.
FACTORY RESET
1. Connect the module to the power supply.
2. Press and hold the S (Service) button for more than 10 seconds (the white blink on LED strip,
signal that the module is reset now you can release the S button)
3. After the factory reset module will automatically attempt to re-include in the next 2
minutes.
ⓘ By resetting the module, all custom parameters previously set on the module will return
to their default values, and the owner ID will be deleted. Use this reset procedure only when
the main controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

EN.
10. Additional Information
1. Flush RGBW Dimmer is suggested to operate within low voltage circuits (12VDC or 24VDC).
Connecting loads powered by higher voltage to the module may damage the Flush RGBW
Dimmer. Please refer to the following table when wiring the module.
RGBW Strip Current
Stranded Wire
High current
18 AWG
Low Current
22 AWG
2. Flush RGBW Dimmer must be powered by the same voltages as the connected light source.
I.e. when controlling a 12V LED strip, the module must be connected to a matching 12V power
supply. Similarly, when controlling a 24V RGBW strip, the Flush RGBW Dimmer must be
powered by a 24V power supply.
3. The module’s output is controlled by PWM at 488Hz.
4. When controlling long RGBW/RGB/LED strips, voltage drops may occur, resulting in lower
light brightness farther away from the R/G/B/W outputs. To minimize this issue, it's
recommended to connect several shorter strips in parallel instead of one long strip connected
in sequence. The maximum recommended RGBW/RGB/LED strip length is 33 feet (10 m).
Please follow manufacturer recommendations regarding connection wire size for each load
you connect to the module.
5. If your primary Z-Wave controller is damaged or lost, but you have connected the module to
an external switch, the Flush RGBW Dimmer can operate normally with local control.
Otherwise, please replace your Z-Wave controller to exclude the module from your previous
network and re-include it to restore wireless control (follow inclusion / exclusion instructions
above for the process).
