Button Combinations

The Red Series On/Off Switch has many different button combinations that indicate what the switch is doing or what settings and parameters are being changed.

Standard Button Combinations are used to either pair/remove your switch, check Z-Wave strength, or factory reset your switch

Local Configuration is a more complex way of changing additional parameters outside of the Quick Tap Sequences.

Standard Button Combinations

Standard Button Combinations for your Red Series On/Off Switch are used to either pair/remove your switch, check Z-Wave strength, or factory reset your switch.

Pairing & Removing

To pair your Red Series On/Off switch, put your hub in pairing mode and tap the configuration (favorites) button 3x and your LED Bar will start pulsing blue - if successful, the LED Bar will then flash green (if unsuccessful, it will flash red).

Checking Z-Wave Strength

To check the strength of your Z-Wave network where your Red Series On/Off switch is at, hold down on the configuration (favorites) button for 5-10 seconds until the LED Bar turns green. Release the configuration button when the LED Bar turns green and the color of the LED Bar will be the strength of your network: green equals good, yellow equals ok, and red equals poor.

Factory Reset

To factory reset your Red Series On/Off switch, hold down on the top of the paddle (on button) along with the configuration (favorites) button for approximately 20 seconds until the LED Bar turns red and then release.

Quick Tap Sequences

The Red Series On/Off Switch has various settings and parameters you can change at the switch itself via the configuration (favorites) button located at the top right of the switch.

To see the table, click here: Quick Tap Sequences Table

Example: If you'd like to enable local protection (ie: disable local control) on your Red Series On/Off, you would tap the configuration button 8x and the LED Bar will flash red. Conversely, if you'd like to disable local protection (ie: enable local control) on your Red Series On/Off, you would tap the configuration button 8x again and the LED Bar will flash green.

Enable Local Protection Mode

To enable Local Protection Mode on your Red Series On/Off Switch, tap the configuration button eight (8) times and the LED Bar should flash red indicating the switch has enabled Local Protection Mode.

NOTE: If the LED Bar flashes green, it means that the switch already had local protection mode enabled.

Video Demonstration

Disable Local Protection Mode

To disable Local Protection Mode on your Red Series On/Off Switch, tap the configuration button eight (8) times and the LED Bar should flash green indicating the switch has disabled Local Protection Mode.

NOTE: If the LED Bar flashes red, it means that the switch already had local protection mode disabled.

Local Configuration

To access additional parameters outside of the Quick Tap Sequences, you'll want to use Local Configuration.

Local Configuration Logic

Here is the logic to change the parameters locally:

  • Locate the Parameter you'd like to change on the Local Configuration Table (ex: Change LED Color = 3)

  • ENTERING LOCAL CONFIGURATION MODE: Hold down the configuration button until the LED Bar turns Yellow and let go

  • ENTERING THE PARAMETER MENU: Press the configuration button as many times as the parameter you've chosen says to from the Local Configuration Table (ex: Change LED Color is 3, so you'd press the configuration button 3x) - you have now selected the parameter you'd like to edit

    • NOTE: The LED Bar will blink to notify you of the parameter you're on - each blink equals the number parameter (ie: 2 blinks - parameter 2)

  • EDITING THE PARAMETER: Tap up/down on the paddle to select the value you'd like the parameter to be - you should see the parameter change in realtime (ie: LED Bar Color will change for you to see, LED Bar Intensity will change on the LED Bar for you to see, etc)

  • SAVING THE PARAMETER VALUE: Hold down on the configuration button until the LED Bar turns Yellow and let go - the LED Bar should then flash Cyan which indicates it was saved successfully

Example: If you'd like to change the color of your Red Series On/Off switch LED Bar you would hold down on the configuration button until the LED Bar turns Yellow and let go. The LED Bar will blink Yellow 1x to indicate it's in Local Configuration Mode. Using the Local Configuration Table, you will see that to access the LED Bar Color, you would tap the configuration button 3x. After you tap the configuration button 3x, the LED Bar will blink 3x to indicate it's on the correct parameter. Next, you will tap the paddle up or down to select the LED Bar color you want. Finally, to save the configuration, you will hold down on the configuration button until the LED Bar turns Yellow and let go. It will blink Cyan to confirm.

Red Series On/Off Button Combination Table

Below you'll find tables for the Standard Button Combinations as well as the Quick Tap Sequences.

Standard Button Combination Table

Desired Outcome

Color

Notes

Enable Pairing to Network

Enable Removal from Network

Tap Config Button 3x

Pulse

Blue

If successful in starting pairing or removal, your switch will pulse blue. It will turn green if pairing/removal is successful and red if unsuccessful

Check Z-Wave Network Strength at your Switches location

Hold Config Button for 5-10 seconds

Solid

Green

When the LED Bar turns Green, release the config button and note the color of the LED Bar signifying signal strength

Green = Strong

Yellow = Fair

Red = Poor

Factory Reset your Switch

Hold Config Button + Top of the Paddle (On Button) for ~20 seconds

Solid

Red

If successful in factory resetting your switch, the LED Bar will turn Red (if it turns purple, you need to try again and this time make sure to hold down both the top of the paddle and the config button at the same time)

Quick Tap Sequences Table

Here's how you read this chart:

  • Look for the desired outcome you want

  • Follow the Action at your switch

  • Ensure the Effect and Color on your LED Bar match what's on the table

Example: If you'd like to enable local protection (ie: disable local control) on your Red Series On/Off, you would tap the configuration button 8x and the LED Bar will flash red. Conversely, if you'd like to disable local protection (ie: enable local control) on your Red Series On/Off, you would tap the configuration button 8x again and the LED Bar will flash green.

Local Configuration Table

Here's how you read this chart:

  • Look for the parameter you'd like to change

  • Write down or memorize the number associated with that parameter (ie: 8 for, "LED Indicator Intensity (When On)")

  • Look at the Values and determine what you'd like to change the parameter to (ie: if you want the dimming speed to take 3 seconds to turn on/off, you'd write down or memorize a value of 3)

Example: Let's say you wanted to change the LED Bar to a color of orange when the load is on. You would see that the #8 is, "LED Indicator Color (When On)". Then the Value column says that Orange is an option and the instructions say to tap up/down the paddle until you find Orange. An example is shown below in the, "Video Demonstration".
