Z-Wave Wall Plug Dimmer
British Standard
Firmware Version : 1.4
Quick Start
AThis is a Z-Wave actuator. Inclusion and Exklusion are confirmed by hitting the button one time.
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the
international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the
frequency of 868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each message is reconfirmed
(two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed
network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or
measured data or actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered
controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated remote controls (R). This results in a
number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are partly or completely supported
by a specific device.
1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators

6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the
network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other
controllers don't manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The
image also shows that its not possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with
static controllers.
Product description
The TKB TZ67 is a dimmer plug that can be placed between a wall outlet for Schuko Plug and electric
devices, plugged in by cord. It can dim resistive loads up to 300 W. The device is IP 20 rated and can
therefore only be used in dry environments. For dimming the devices apply leading edge phase cutting. It is
therefore only possible to dim incandescent lamps and high voltage halogen lights. Low voltage halogen
lights, LEDs and CFLs must not be attached. Dimming is controlled wirelessly using Z-Wave or locally
applying a button. A blue LED indicates the dimming status.
Before Device is installed
Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the radio-actuator, in order to ensure
an error-free functioning.
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation
guidelines/norms may do works with 230?Volt mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the
voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
The product is permitted only for proper use as specified in the user manual. Any kind of guarantee claim
has to be forfeited if changes, modifications or painting are undertaken. The product must be checked for
damages immediately after unpacking. In the case of damages, the product must not be operated in any
case. If a danger-free operation of the equipment cannot be assured, the voltage supply has to be
interrupted immediately and the equipment has to be protected from unintended operation.
Installation Guidelines
The Dimmer Plug can be plugged into every British wall outlet for Plug-Type G. It is IP20 rated and can
therefore only be used in dry environments. Do not locate the device facing direct sunlight, humid or dusty
place. The suitable ambient temperature for the device is 0°C ~ 40°C.
Behavior within the Z-Wave network
IOn factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to join an
existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also leave a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the
primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion

mode. Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion or
exclusion mode. Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or exclusion mode, this device can join or leave
the network. Leaving the network - i.e. being excluded - sets the device back to factory default.
If the device already belongs to a network, follow the exclusion process before including it in your network.
Otherwise inclusion of this device will fail. If the controller being included was a primary controller, it has to
be reset first.
To confirm Inclusion or Exclusion hit the button on the device.
Operating the device
The device is able to dim electric load up to 300 W. Short press of the button will toggle. This means that the
power will be turned on if it was off and turned off when it was on. When switching the lamp on or off the
light will dim for about 2 seconds until the final level is reached.
The the button is constantly pressed the light will be dimmed. The dimming function will also toggle.
Constantly pressing the the button will either dim up or dim down the light until it reaches the final level.
Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration can
adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.
IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow to configure signed values. In order to set values in the range 128
… 255 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: to set a
parameter to 200? it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of two byte value
the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
LED- Behavior (Parameter Number 1, Parameter Size 1) defines the behavior of the blue LED
Value Description
0 blue indicates off (Default)
1 blue indicates on

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms
Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network. Controllers are typically
Gateways, Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.
Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network. Slaves can be sensors, actuators
and even remote controls.
Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one
primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
Inclusion — is the process of bringing new Z-Wave devices into a network.
Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.
Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and a controlled device.
Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to annonces that is is
able to communicate.

Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a Z_Wave device to announce its
capabilities and functions.
Disposal Guidelines
The product does not contain hazardous chemicals.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical
appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and
get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.
