ZDP100 Instructions 071202 HomePro by ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1 Radio Frequency Controlled, Plug-In, 300W, 120 VAC, Lamp Module ZDP100 HomePro RF Home Automation ZDP100 PLUG-IN LAMP MODULE The ZDP100 plug-in Lamp Module is a component of the HomePro lighting control system. Plug the Lamp Module into a wall outlet and plug a lamp into the Lamp Module. Inclusion of the Lamp Module on the ZTH100, RF Remote Transmitter menu allows remote ON/OFF control and dimming of lamps connected. This plug-in Lamp Module is designed to work with other HomePro lamp and appliance controls. Z-Wave nodes of other types can be added to the system and will also act as repeaters if they support this function of repeating the signal received to other modules in the system. As part of a HomePro network, the ZDP100 can act as a wireless repeater to insure that commands intended for another device in the network are received. This is useful when the device would otherwise be out of the radio range of the remote controller. INSTALLATION Plug this Lamp Module into the wall outlet near the lamp to be controlled, and plug the lamp into the Lamp Module. Follow instructions in section 4.2.1 of the Remote Transmitter Operating instructions to add this module under the control of the Remote Transmitter. Make sure the lamp(s) to be controlled total no more than 300 watts. WARNING: Plugging a non-resistive load such as florescent lighting or a device with a motor may result in damage to the Lamp Module and will void the warranty. Lamp Module Button The Lamp Module has a button on the face (see picture above) that switches an attached lamp ON and OFF, and adjusts its dimming level by holding it down, and it is also used to configure the module to operate from the remote transmitter. With the Remote Transmitter, the Lamp Module can be switched ON and OFF, and can be included in groups of lights (a group can also be a single module) that operate at the same time, and in scenes that set a lighting mood. Switch power ON and OFF When the button is pressed and released quickly, the power will toggle. This means that power will be turned OFF if it was ON and turned ON if it was OFF. When switching the Lamp Module ON or OFF, the light will dim UP (or DOWN) in approximately 2 seconds until the final level is reached. Dimming If the button is constantly pressed the light will be dimmed. The dimming function will also toggle. Constantly pressing the button the Lamp Module will dim either UP or DOWN until it reaches the maximum or minimum value. The second time the button is held down, the dimming will change direction. When the power level reaches either full power or minimum power the dimming will stop until the button has been released and is pressed again. Button functions 1. Adds module under the control of Remote Transmitter. 2. Local ON and OFF (push and release). 3. Local dimming (hold down). ZDP100 Instructions 071202 HomePro by ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2 Child Protection The Lamp Module can be set in a child protect mode by the Remote Transmitter (see section 4.4 of Remote Transmitter instructions). When this mode is active, a user will have to press the button on the Lamp Module 3 times rapidly to activate the attached load. The module operates normally when controlled by the Remote Transmitter. Other functions The button on the Lamp Module also plays a role when resetting and adding to groups and scenes. This is described in more detail in Section 4.2 and 4.2.2 of the Remote Transmitter instructions. Software fuse This Lamp Module is designed to protect itself against loads that exceed it’s maximum power rating. The application of a load that exceeds that rating is quickly sensed by the dimmer and it responds by immediately shutting off all power to that load. If the dimmer doesn’t seem to work, or if it only works momentarily, check to see that the total lamp wattage doesn’t exceed the 300W rating of the Lamp Module. If a properly sized load is restored to the dimmer, it can be operated normally once again. Over-current protection The Lamp Module hardware has an over current detection circuit, which is final protection against overload. If the software fuse should fail to shut down the dimmer when overloaded, backup protection is provided by an internal fuse. This fuse is not user serviceable. Check your home circuit breakers before concluding that the product must be returned to manufacturer for repair at a nominal charge. Operation Note When a light bulb reaches the end of it’s life and burns out, it sometimes creates a momentary short circuit. The high current that results may cause the dimmer to properly respond by turning off. Should this happen, replace the bulb with a new one. The dimmer can now be operated to restore power to the light. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer- ence in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful interference to radio communica- tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip- ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following mea- sures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Technical Description of the ZDP100 Plug-in Dimmer Module Written by Russell A. Phillips, RF Engineer for Advanced Control Technologies, Inc. July 2002 The ZDP100 is a plug-in dimmer that is designed for control of up to 300 Watts of incandescent lighting. It plugs into a standard 2 or 3 prong 120VAC, 60Hz receptacle and provides a 2-prong receptacle that a lamp can be plugged into. While the ZDP100 can work as a stand-alone dimmer, it is intended to work as a part of a group of similar, compatible modules that are all controlled by a wireless remote control. The dimmer uses a high-speed micro-controller to control the dimming circuitry, to execute instructions, and to control communications with other devices. It also features a flash memory IC to provide non-volatile retention of certain data. In addition, the ZDP100 contains a transceiver that is identical to the transceivers found in each of the modules that it works with. It electrically equivalent to the transceiver used in the remote control. These transceivers operate in half-duplex fashion to provide two-way communications. The communications, while varied, most often consist of a command from the remote control followed by an acknowledgement by the addressed module(s) that a valid command was received. The transceiver operates in the 900MHz ISM band at 908.42 MHz. The data, which is digital in nature, is Manchester encoded and sent using FSK modulation at a 9600 bit/sec rate. The deviation of the modulation is plus and minus 10 KHz. A 7.3728 MHz crystal oscillator is used both as a clock for the micro-controller and also as a reference oscillator for the fractional PLL frequency synthesizer. This PLL is used to generate both the local oscillator for the receiver and the fundamental frequency of the transmitter. The output power of the transmitter portion of the transceiver is controlled by the micro-controller which causes the transmit power to be very low for some setup functions. Modulation of the transmitter is accomplished in the PLL by having the micro-controller cause it to use one divisor when the modulating data is low and a slightly different one, when it is high. The receiver is a single conversion type. The local oscillator runs at 908.22 MHz (200 KHz below the receive frequency). A wireless transmission occurs briefly in response to one of two events: 1) A manually issued command initiated by the User, or 2) An automated command that is initiated when the internal time of day clock matches a previously User-programmed time. The communications are done using a protocol called the Z-Wave protocol, which is a wireless network protocol that has been especially designed for home automation products. It defines how various types of information are to be formatted into frames. These frames not only include commands and data, but also source and destination information, as well as checksums that are used for error detection. The ZDP100, the remote control, and other modules make up a wireless local network, where each of the modules can function as wireless repeaters (also half duplex). There is provision within the protocol for intelligent and adaptive routing and also for handling collisions. Except for a handful of discrete passive components, the entire transceiver is contained in one integrated circuit, the CC900 made by Chipcon. The transmitter and receiver share a common antenna. A SAW filter is used to help minimize receiver overload from strong signals on nearby frequencies. The antenna used in the ZDP100 is a wire antenna located inside the plastic enclosure. There are no external connections to the antenna. There is also no provision of any kind for an external ground connection. Any conducted emissions from the transceiver that may appear on the power lines are minimal and within applicable FCC limits. The dimming function is accomplished by use of a triac that is switched on at zero- crossings of the AC line voltage. The duty cycle that the triac is on is then varied via the micro-controller according to the desired lighting level. The micro-controller adjusts the lighting level in response to the User pressing the button on the front of the unit, or in response to a command received from a remote control.
