LRM-AS WALL MOUNTED DIMMER
The LRM-AS Wall Mounted Dimmer is a component of the HomePro lighting control system. Wire the Wall
Mounted Dimmer in place of the standard wall switch according to the diagram above and program from the
Wireless Controller to operate loads. Inclusion of the LRM-AS Wall Mounted Dimmer on the EHC-100 Wireless
Controller menu allows remote ON/OFF control and dimming of lights connected.
This Wall Mounted Dimmer is designed to work with other Z-Wave enabled devices. Z-Wave nodes of other
types can be Included in the network and will also act as repeaters to increase the range of the network.
This product is scene capable.
This product supports 40Kbps data transmission. This product can also be used for networking support in
systems that stream metadata. An example might include transmission of information from audio devices such
as song title, artist, and album information to various displays around the home.
DANGER! SHOCK HAZARD. Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is
intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric code and local regulations in the United States,
or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. It is recommended that a qualified electrician
perform this installation. There are no field repairable assemblies on this unit. If service is needed, the unit must
be returned where purchased.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install
to control a receptacle, a motor operated appliance, a fluorescent lighting fixture, or a transformer-supplied
appliance, but only permanently installed incandescent lamp fixtures. Make sure the lamp(s) to be controlled
directly from the dimmer receiver total no more than 500 watts. Do not install this device if there is not at least
10 meters (30 feet) or more of wire between the point of connection and the electrical service panel. Retain
Supplied with matching decorative
switch plate
Note: This module must be “Included in the Network”
only where it will be permanently installed. The
proper operation of this node in the mesh network is
dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other
nodes. You cannot “test bench” configure this module.

instructions for future use.
INSTALLATION
STEP 1. With power off, wire this LRM-AS according to the diagram show. Caution! Do not wire unit “live”
(with power on the circuit) and do not allow the yellow wire to contact line voltage, neutral or ground
or you will damage the device. If more than one LRM-AS is to be installed in a wall box, scored tabs
on the side can be broken off by bending back and forth with pliers, to accommodate proper fit. Apply
power when completed.
Proper Single Gang Installation
Using LRM-AS’s standard full heat-sink (all tabs), the connected incandescent lamp load shall not exceed 500W.
If a tab is removed from one side of the LRM-AS unit, the connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed
400W.
If both tabs are removed from the LRM-AS unit, the connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 300W.
Proper Dual Gang Installation
The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 400W for each of the two LRM-AS units.
Proper Triple Gang Installation
The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 300W for each of the three LRM-AS units.
Air Gap Switch
The LRM-AS has an air gap switch on the face (lower left), that when pulled out, completely removes the power
available to the load (simply turning the dimmer off does not). This enables the lamps that are controlled by
the device to be changed with minimal danger of electrical shock. The air gap switch must be pushed all the
way back in for the dimmer to operate the lamps again.
INCLUDING LRM-AS TO THE NETWORK
STEP 1.. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network by adding it to a group (method of adding a
node to the network). Refer to controller instructions.
STEP 2. The LRM-AS must be in its permanently installed location.
Tap the button.
Tap the button 3 times, then press and hold (Ex. tap, tap, tap, hold)
STEP 3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “DEVICE WAS INCLUDED” or “DEVICE
WAS EXCLUDED” in the network.
NOTE: If you have trouble adding the LRM-AS to a group it may be that the Home ID and Node ID were
not cleared from it after testing. You must first “RESET UNIT” with your controller to remove it from the
network. If using the EHC-100 select “SETUP” and scroll to “RESET UNIT”
Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it from a group does not remove it from the
network. If removed from a group, it functions only as a repeater.
Local Control
The top or bottom of the LRM-AS switch can be used to carry out inclusion (add to a group), association,
exclusion (remove from group) or reset (remove from network).
Pushing the top or bottom of the switch, the LRM-AS allows the user to do the following:
• Turn ON, OFF, DIM or BRIGHTEN the load attached.
• To include or exclude the module, see step 2 above.
Once the device has been added, when a controller prompts you to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button on Unit”,
quickly tap the top or bottom of the switch 3 times, then press and hold (Ex. tap, tap, tap, hold).
• Tapping top of the switch turns the load attached ON.
• Tapping bottom of the switch turns the load attached OFF.
• Pressing and holding the top of the switch will brighten the load attached, and pressing and holding the

bottom of the switch will dim the load. When OFF, pressing and holding the bottom of the switch will
cause the load will go to the minimum dim level.
Note: Upon restoration of power after a power loss, the LRM-AS returns to previous known state.
LED indication
The LED on the LRM-AS will turn ON when the load attached is OFF, to act as a night light. However, the LED
can be user configured to turn ON when the load attached is ON, if so desired.
Remote Control
The LRM-AS will respond to BASIC and MULTILEVEL commands that are part of the Z-Wave system. Refer to
your controller’s instructions as to whether your controller can transmit those commands.
All On/All Off
The LRM-AS supports the ALL ON/ ALL OFF commands.
The LRM-AS can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands 4 different ways.
Refer to your controller for information on how to set the LRM-AS to operate in the manner you desire. Some
controllers may be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL OFF response.
The 4 different ways the LRM-AS can be setup to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands are:
• LRM-AS will not respond to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.
• LRM-AS will respond to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.
• LRM-AS will respond to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.
• LRM-AS will respond to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command (default).
Configuration
The LRM-AS supports the Configuration command.
The LRM-AS can be configured to operate differently than how it works when you first install it. Using the
Configuration command you can configure the following:
You can use a EHC-100 to send Configuration commands. (Refer to the Setup Menu, Configuration section)
Night Light
By default, the LED on the LRM-AS will turn OFF when the load attached is turned ON. To make the LED
turn ON when the load attached is turned ON, set parameter 3 to a value of 0.
Invert Switch
To change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch to ON, set parameter 4 to 1.
Load Sense:
Set this parameter to 0 to disable load sense. Set this parameter to 1 to enable load sense.
Each Configuration Parameter can be set to its default setting by setting the default bit in the Configuration Set
command. See your controller’s instructions on how to do this (and if it supports it).
All Configuration commands will be reset to their default state when the LRM-AS is excluded from the Z-Wave
network by using the controller to reset the node (on the EHC-100 select “SETUP” and scroll to “RESET UNIT”).
