About Z-Wave: The Z-Wave protocol is an interoperable, wireless, RF-based communications technology designed specifically for control, monitoring, and status reading applications in residential and light commercial environments. Mature, proven, and broadly deployed (with over 50 million products sold worldwide), Z-Wave is by far the world market leader in wireless control, bringing affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use 'smart' products to millions of people in every aspect of daily life.
Safety Information For Qubino, safety is first, so we have prepared lots of safety tips and information that can be found throughout this manual. To ensure your safety, please read this manual carefully before installing the device; follow the instructions exactly. The manufacturer (GOAP d.o.o. Nova Gorica) shall not be legally responsible for any equipment damage or personal injury caused by incorrect installation or operation other than that covered in this manual.
(default) and toggle switches. It can work with or without the neutral line. Qubino Mini Dimmer allows the easiest and quickest installation. The Qubino Mini Dimmer also acts as a Z-Wave repeater to improve the range and stability of the Z-Wave network.
We have prepared a few of them for you, so you can get an idea for your next smart home project. Of course, there are countless of other options for how to use Qubino Mini Dimmer to remotely control devices via your smartphone.
• Want to control other devices in your Z- Wave network with the Mini Dimmer? • Connect the Mini Dimmer with other devices in your network to remotely and automatically trigger another Z-Wave device. And have other Z-Wave devices trigger your Qubino Mini Dimmer.
• The Qubino Mini Dimmer does not need additional protection fuse beside the installation one (the fuse is part of the device). • When using the Qubino Mini Dimmer in a 2-Wired system (without the neutral line), the illuminance of the light will be most effectively utilised, compared to other dimmers on the market.
Page 13
All this is possible because the Qubino Mini Dimmer is the smallest Z- Wave dimmer in the world.
Page 14
• Qubino Dimmer allows a direct connection of even the smallest bulbs. It’s the only Z- Wave dimmer on the market that does not require any minimum load power, which means that the user can connect the bulbs with minimum power loads that are bigger than 0 W (valid only in case of 3-wired connection).

MINI DIMMER CALIBRATION The Mini Dimmer has a calibration function to ensure correct operation in the 2-wire configuration. The calibration determines the maximum and minimum dimming values for the connected load to avoid that the load will take to much voltage from the module for its correct operation.
12. Associations Use associations for direct communication between the Mini Dimmer and other devices within your Z-Wave network without the need of your primary gateway (hub). Association Groups: Root device: Name Allowed Description nodes Lifeline Supports the following command classes: •...
13. Notification Command Class The Mini Dimmer supports the following notifications: • In case of exceeding the power value set in parameter 70 (default 200W ) for more than 5 seconds the Mini Dimmer automatically turns off the output and the overload notification is sent.

Page 47
Parameter no. 67 – Ignore start level Choose whether the device should use (or disregard) the start dimming level value. If the device is configured to use the start level, it should start the dimming process from the currently set dimming level.
Page 48
NOTE: Parameter is valid only in Dimmer mode. In Switch mode the parameter has no effect. Parameter no. 70 - Overload safety switch The function allows for turning off the controlled device in case of exceeding the defined power for more than 5s. Controlled device can be turned back on by input I1 or sending a control frame.
Page 49
Parameter no. 71 – Calibration trigger Choose when will be the calibration procedure triggered. Values (size is 1 byte dec): • default value 0 - calibration done after power cycle if module is excluded • 1 – calibration done after power cycle regardless of inclusion status •...
Page 50
Parameter no. 74 – Alarm/Notification time interval (dependant on parameter 73) This parameter defines the time interval of the blinking state, once the module receives an alarm/notification event. Minimum step increase is 1 minute. Values (size is 1 byte dec): •...
