coupler is required in some home installations. See Section 5 for more information.
•Not intended for use in multi-dwelling (condo, apartment, duplex) units.
Section 2: Installation of Lamp Modules and Tabletop Controller
Locate a convenient location you would like to use as the main controller and plug in the Tabletop Controller
with 4-buttons. Locate 2 lamps you would like to turn ON/OFF. Plug a lamp module into a wall outlet, then
plug-in a lamp into the socket on the bottom of the lamp module. Turn the lamp ON using the lamp’s ON/OFF
switch. Repeat this process for second lamp module. You're done with the installation process! Please refer to
the User Guide or see http://simply-automated.com/documents/452-0112-0201_RevC_UML-E-
W_UserGuide_090512.pdf.

DKIT-02 Lamp Starter Kit
Helpful Hint: If tapping a button does not turn on a lamp, the lamp's switch may be in the off position. Go to the
lamp and turn on using the lamp's on/off switch. Tapping should be done quickly ensuring contact is made from
the button to the base sensor.
Both lamps can still be turned ON/OFF manually. For manual operation of either lamp, simply turn the lamp
ON, OFF and ON again using the lamp’s ON/OFF switch.
Important Note: If you are using compact florescent or florescent lighting, you should not attempt to
change the dimming level. Florescent lighting cannot be dimmed, can only be turned on at a 100% dim
level.
The lamp modules have been programmed from the factory to turn on at 100%. If you would like a different
lighting level when the lamp is off, press and hold button 1, 2 or 3 until the desired lamp dim level(s) is (are)
achieved, then release. If you would like a different lighting level when the light is on at 100%, press and hold
the button until the desired lamp dim level(s) is (are) achieved, then release. If you are using compact
florescent or florescent lighting, you should not attempt to change the dimming level. Florescent lighting cannot
be dimmed, can only be turned on at a 100% dim level.
Important Note: Each lamp module has a unique ID number. You can find the ID number on the back of
each lamp module. One of the lamp modules for the Lamp Starter Kit (DKIT-01) will have ID #4 and the
other will have ID #5. This is important information to note as it relates to operation with the Scheduler-
Timer accessory (sold separately).
Section 3: Editing Buttons (Scenes) on Tabletop Controller with 4-Buttons
Each button on the Tabletop Controller with 4-Buttons controls a SCENE that can easily be edited from the
factory pre-sets. Button 1 turns on/off lamp module #1, button 2 turns on/off lamp module #2, button 3
turns both lamp modules on/off, button 4 turns both lamp modules off. You can change the dimming level or
number of lamp modules controlled by each button to create your own custom scenes!
Section 3.a. Changing the Dimming Level
Important Note: If you are using compact florescent or florescent lighting, you should not attempt to
change the dimming level. Florescent lighting can only be turned on at a 100% dim level.
Button 1. Button 1 is programmed from the factory to turn on lamp
module #1 at a 100% dim level. To change the dimming level:
• Go to the Tabletop Controller, press and hold button 1 to the desired
dimming level for lamp module #1.
•Go to lamp module #1, press (quickly tap) the program switch (see
illustration) 5 times using a non-metallic toothpick to place in the
program mode. The indicator will continuously blink green
to confirm the lamp module is in the program mode.
nsertCAUTION: When programming the lamp module, do not i
any metal object (paperclip) into the module while it is
connected to power.
• Go back to the Tabletop Controller, press (quickly tap) button 1 seven times. You have created a new
scene by re-programming button 1 from the factory pre-set dimming level.

Helpful Hint: If tapping button 1 does not change the dimming level, repeat the three steps outlined above.
Tapping should be done quickly ensuring contact is made from the button to the base sensor.
Helpful Hint: The Tabletop Controller can inadvertently be placed in the program mode by tapping button 1 five
times. The indicator above button 1 will continuously blink green for five minutes. To exit the programming
mode, quickly tap the lamp module’s program switch two times.
Button 2. You can repeat the process outlined above for button 2. Button 2 is programmed from the factory to
turn on lamp module #2 at a 100% dim level. To change the dimming level for button 2:
•
Go to the Tabletop Controller, press and hold button 2 to the desired dimming level for lamp module #2.
•Go to lamp module #2, press (quickly tap) the program switch (see illustration) 5 times using a non-metallic
toothpick to place in the program mode. The indicator will continuously blink green to confirm the lamp
module is in the program mode.
•
Go back to the Tabletop Controller, press (quickly tap) button 2 seven times. You have created a new
scene by re-programming button 1 from the factory pre-set dimming level.
Editing buttons 3 or 4. Button 3 is programmed to turn on both lamp modules at 100%. Button 4 is
programmed to turn off both lamp modules. We recommend not editing these buttons since all devices (up to
ten dimmers/lamp modules) in the Pre-Configured SimplySmart
TM
Series have the same settings -- one tap of
button 3 turns all devices on, one tap of button 4 turns all devices off. This pre-programming is a very powerful
and convenient feature using both the Tabletop Controller with 4-buttons and Deluxe Dimmer with 4-buttons.
Example include entering a home (button 3 for ALL ON), leaving a home (button 4 for ALL OFF), bedside for
security and nighttime convenience (button 3 for ALL ON) or (button 4 for ALL OFF).
Button 3. Button 3 is programmed from the factory to turn on both lamp modules at a 100% dim level. To
change the dimming level for either of the lamp modules controlled by button 3:
•
Go to the Tabletop Controller, press and hold button 3 to the desired dimming level for the lamp modules.
•Go to each lamp module, press (quickly tap) the program switch (see illustration) 5 times using a non-
metallic toothpick to place in the program mode. The indicator will continuously blink green to confirm the
lamp module is in the program mode.
•
Go back to the Tabletop Controller, press (quickly tap) button 3 seven times. You have created a new
scene by re-programming button 1 from the factory pre-set dimming level.
Important Note: If you would like to program a different dimming level for each lamp module, repeat the
procedure outlined above for one lamp module at a time. Go to the Tabletop controller, press and hold
button 3 to the desired dimming level for lamp module #1. Go to lamp module #1, place in the program
mode, go back to the Tabletop Controller and press (quickly tap) button 3 seven times. Follow the
same procedure for lamp module #2. Note: although both lamp modules will dim up/down, a change
will only occur when the lamp module is placed in the program mode.

if the lamp module is in the program mode by checking for a blinking green light. If the lamp module is not
flashing green, you will need to place back in the program mode to make any edits. To exit the programming
mode, quickly tap the lamp module’s program switch two times.

insert any metal object (paperclip) into the module while it
is connected to power.
•

Phase Coupler: Your home should be no more than 2500 square feet and have only one breaker panel. A
phase coupler is required in some home installations. If you have tested the rockers for each dimmer, they
work, but the buttons do not turn on all three dimmers, the circuits in your home may be out of phase. All
homes have a 220V feed to the main panel box, where the 220V is separated into 110V in two phases, an A
and B. You will need to install a phase coupler, see http://simply-automated.com/products/sa_zpc.htm for
options.
