Rotary Wheel Wall Controller for controlling a Heating Zone, Central Scenes and up to four separate Light Zones.
The SE Devices Wheel Controller Z-Wave is a modular Wall-Box mountable control wheel, which is controllable over a Z-Wave Home Automation Network. The device can be added to and remote controlled via a Z-Wave Home Automation network. This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. The Wheel Controller unit itself can be combined with a Back Unit hidden inside a wall-box to provide local control possibilities. It can also operate in a Stand-Alone mode, powered via a Cascade connector to another unit (Multifunction Switch or Wheel Controller). There are a variety of Back Units available for the Wheel, which can provide Local control functionality such as Relay Control and Dimming. The Wheel is backed by 4 push buttons, located at the Upper, Lower, Left and Right sides of the wheel. By pushing on these points of the wheel, the various functions of the wheel can be accessed and controlled. The Wheel can be rotated in a clockwise and counter clockwise direction to control the Light Level, adjust temperature settings for the Thermostat and issue Central Scene commands. The current operation is shown in the display at all times. When used as a Thermostat, the display will show information on thermostat operation when the device is Idle.

10 - Dimming Speed
Defines the "fade" time when setting a dim level from a controller. Fade time is defined as the time it takes to dim from MIN level to MAX level. This means an increase of 10% in light level takes 1/10th of the configured time. The value defines the dim time in 1/100'th of a second, which means a value of 200 means the Dimming Speed is 2.0 seconds from MIN to MAX. Max time is 327.67 seconds (around 5.5 minutes). Values below 300 (0.3 seconds) are ignored¸ and values below 1000 (1 second) are discouraged.Size: 1 byte

36 - Thermostat Control Resend Interval
Defines the interval between each time the Thermostat will repeat its last control command. This is used in combination with the Relay Safety configuration when controlling external Relays. If the Thermostat should fail, it would then stop sending control commands which in turn means the Relay will turn itself OFF after the safety mode delay has expired. This insures that heating will not be left ON indefinitely in failure situations. Range: 60 – 32767 secondsSize: 2 bytes

37 - Thermostat Minimum On/Off Interval
This configuration defines the minimum interval the controlled Thermostat Relays will be ON and OFF. This is a feature intended to avoid turning control relays ON and OFF too frequently, which should insure a better lifetime of controlled relays. The default value is 5 minutes, which is OK for most electrical heating control. If used to control Water based heating, the value MUST be adjusted in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. Range: 60 – 32767 secondsSize: 2 bytes

38 - Thermostat Floor Temp Max
Max floor temperature if a local floor sensor is connected. If the Floor Sensor reads a temperature Higher than the configured value, it will immediately turn the relay (or any associated relays) OFF. The relay will stay off until the temperature sinks below this value, and the Thermostat issues it's next control command. Disabled if zero (0) value, or if no floor sensor is connected. The value is given as 1/10th of a degree Celcius. Range: 0 – 500 (0-50 degrees). NOTE! MAX 27 degrees is recommended for Wooden Floors! NOTE! This function is always active as long as a Floor Sensor is connected, regardless of the sensor configuration described below.Size: 2 bytes

40 - Temperature Sensor Select
Defines which temperature Sensor should be used for Heating Control. The default value is Both (3), which should work well in most scenarios (even when only a Floor or Room sensor is present). If both a Room and Floor sensor is used, the Thermostat will always control heating based on the lowest temperature reading of the two, to insure a comfortable floor temperature even if the room is already warm enough. If this is not wanted, the Thermostat should be configured to use the Room sensor Only. NOTE! The Floor Max Temperature feature will ALWAYS be active as long as a floor sensor is available, even if the Thermostat is configured to only use the Room Sensor. 1 - Local Room - Use temperature from Locally connected Room sensor ONLY. Max Floor Temp protection is still active as long as a floor sensor is available. 2 - Local Floor - Use temperature from Locally connected Floor sensor ONLY 3 - Both (auto) - Use temperature from Locally connected Floor AND Room sensor if available (Default).Size: 1 byte

To add the device to a Z-Wave network, the Z-Wave Controller must first be set into Add mode. Once the Controller is listening for devices to add, Push and Hold the lower part of the Wheel Controller for 5 seconds. The device will indicate that it sends information to the Controller by showing a Radio Communication Icon in the display. The Controller should now discover the device and add it to the Z-Wave network. Once added, the device should respond commands over the Z-Wave network.
Removal is done by setting the Controller in Remove Mode (instead of Add mode), and then follow the exact same procedure on the device itself as when adding the device.
Follow this procedure to Factory Reset the Wheel Controller. This will restore all configuration parameters back to the default settings, and remove the device from the Z-Wave network. WARNING! Executing a Factory Reset on a device may make it stop working as wanted, and will disable remote control of the device. The device will have to be re-added to the Z-Wave network and reconfigured afterwards, to regain the previous operation of the device. Please DO NOT execute this procedure unless it is absolutely necessary. Step 1: Push and Hold the DOWN and LEFT wheel buttons at the same time, and keep holding them for approximately 15 seconds. It is recommended to use two fingers to insure that both buttons are pushed completely down. Step 2: Release the buttons when the text “RESET” appears in the display, after approximately 15 seconds. Step 3: Then Push and Hold UP (marked OK) for approximately 1 second to CONFIRM the Factory Reset. Pushing any other direction button will Cancel the Factory Reset, and restore normal operation. Also, if the RESET is not confirmed within 5 seconds, the device will resume normal operation. Step 4: When you confirm the Reset by pushing and holding UP, the RESET text will start blinking. Then the device will resume operation, but with all configuration Reset to their defaults. Also, if the device was added to a Z-Wave network, the device will no longer be available for Z-Wave control (only Local control will work).
The Wheel Controller is capable of controlling local loads via a modular Back Unit. The back unit can be mounted and connected to mains electricity inside a Electrical Wall box. Two types of Relay and Dimmer Back Units are currently available. The maximum controllable local load are specified in each Back Unit product sheets.
