Smart dimmer
Read the complete manual before carrying out the installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
The smart dimmer uses the Easywave RF-protocol (Radio Frequency) enabling different systems such as dimmers,
switches, receivers and gateways to communicate with each other wirelessly. The universal flush-mounting
push-button dimmer is connected with two wires and is suitable for dimming dimmable LED lamps, halogen
lamps and incandescent lamps. This device is not suitable for motor control and does not have a specific profile
for dimmable economy lamps. The dimmer can be used with or without memory function and is equipped with
an automatic detection of faulty conditions (overload, short circuit, etc.).
If desired, extra controls can be added. These can be both wired push buttons and wireless controls according
to the Easywave protocol.
In addition to its own load, the smart dimmer can also control other dimming receivers operating according to
the Easywave protocol.
The smart dimmer is connected with a 2-wire system and does not need a neutral conductor. By doing so, it can
effortlessly replace an existing single, two-way, or intermediate switching. It is highly suitable for the expansion
of existing electrical installations where drilling or channelling work is not permitted or to avoid complicated
cabling. The dimmer has a feedback LED from which the operation can be set.

2. OPERATION AND USE
2.1. Range between the transmitters and receivers operating according to the Easywave protocol
The indoor range is approximately 30m, and 100m in open space. The transmission range depends on the
materials used in the residence:
brick, wooden or gypsum
concrete walls
loss: 20-40 % loss: 5-20 %
2.2. Mounting instructions and recommendations
Never install the transmitters and/or receivers:
• in a metal electrical cabinet, housing or netting
• in the immediate vicinity of large metal objects
• on or close to the ground
• in damp locations.
The presence of metal or damp in the walls can have a negative influence on the signal range.
2.3. Permitted loads at an ambient temperature of 35°C

Tip: Always use lamps of the same type and brand on one dimmer.
2.4. PLC interference suppression
This dimmer is equipped with interference suppression of PLC signals. This integrated interference suppression
attempts to remove as many interfering signals as possible from the mains in order for most lamps to function
optimally, without flickering or humming.
Please note: Due to technical restrictions, it is not possible to match the quality of industrial PLC filters. Refer
to the FAQ on dimming at www.niko.eu/faq for more information on reducing PLC signals.
2.5. Normal functioning dimmer with or without memory function
This dimmer operates according to the principle of phase control or reverse phase control, depending on the
setting (see § 3.2). The dimmer can be used with or without memory. The dimmer is set by default without
memory function. Consult § 3.4 to activate the memory function.

Please note: The dimmer is never separated from the mains voltage. All components remain connected to the
power, even when the lamp is switched off.
3.2. Setting dimmer according to lamp type
Set the dimmer according to the type of lamp you wish to dim. Consult the diagram below for the correct setting.
Profile Description
LED 1 Most general profile on which most
lamps will function normally
HALO LED 2 Specific profile for LED and halogen
lamps supplied by a ferromagnetic
transformer
Transformer Specific profile for LED lamps supplied
LED 3 * by a ferromagnetic transformer
LED 4 Specific profile for dimmable LED lamps
(including LED filament lamps)
Transformer Specific profile for dimmable LED lamps
LED 5 or LED and halogen lamps powered by
an electronic transformer
LED 6 Specific profile for dimmable LED
lamps with a dimming curve different
than LED 1
LED 7 * Specific profile for dimmable LED lamps
which require a boost function
LED 8 * Specific profile for dimmable LED lamps
which require a boost function
* These lamp profiles are equipped with a boost function. This means that upon switching on, the lamp will
briefly shine brightly before going to the desired dimming level (if the memory function has been activated).
These profiles have been specifically made for lamps which cannot be switched on again when dimmed low.
If the dimming profile 1 does not work correctly, do the following to select another profile:
dimmable
STEP 1: Press once on SELECT PROFILE (3).

The feedback LED will flash green several times to indicate the current dimming profile.

STEP 2: Press the SELECT PROFILE (3) button to go to the next profile.
STEP 3: After the feedback LED (2) has shown the current dimming profile three times, the last shown
profile is saved and used.
3.3. Set the minimum light intensity
To make use of the optimal range of every lamp and to avoid completely switching it off, the minimum dimming
level can be adjusted using the MIN DIM LEVEL (4) button.
This button works in the same way as a push-button dimmer:
• hold down to dim the lamp up or down.
• releasing and pressing again reverses the dimming direction.
