--- layout: documentation title: RF9540-N - ZWave --- {% include base.html %} # RF9540-N All Load Dimmer Light Switch This describes the Z-Wave device *RF9540-N*, manufactured by *Cooper Wiring Devices* with the thing type UID of ```cooper_rf9540n_00_000```. The device is in the category of *Wall Switch*, defining Any device attached to the wall that controls a binary status of something, for ex. a light switch. ![RF9540-N product image](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/16/16_default.jpg) The RF9540-N supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is also able to participate in the routing of data between other devices in the mesh network. ## Overview **OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS** * Press once to turn lights ON at previously selected level. * Press again to turn lights OFF. * When lights are OFF, press and hold for 2 seconds for full brightness. * When lights are ON, press and hold for 2 seconds until the blue LED blinks. After the preset delay, the lights will begin fading to OFF (up to 4 minutes). * Amber ON/OFF LED indicates that dimmer is turned on. ### Inclusion Information 1. This product may be added to a new or existing Z-Wave network. A Cooper Wiring Devices Z-Wave device has a blue LED, which will blink when the device is not included in a Z-Wave network. The LED stops blinking when the device is in a network. 2. To include this device in a Z-Wave network, select the command on your Z Wave controller for inclusion (Install, Add Device, Add Node, Include Device, etc.). Then press the device switch one time to include it in the network. The LED will stop blinking. ### Exclusion Information To exclude this device from a Z-Wave network, select the command on your Z-Wave controller for exclusion (Uninstall, Remove Device, Remove Node, Exclude Device, etc.). Then press the device switch one time to exclude it from the network. The LED will start blinking. ## Channels The following table summarises the channels available for the RF9540-N -: | Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type | |---------|------------|----------|-----------| | Dimmer | switch_dimmer | DimmableLight | Dimmer | | Scene Number | scene_number | | Number | | Dimmer Ramp Time | config_decimal | | Number | | Alarm | alarm_general | Door | Switch | | Local Device Protection | protection_local | | Number | | Indicator Light Control | indicator_level | | Dimmer | ### Dimmer The brightness channel allows to control the brightness of a light.

Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below. | Param | Name | Description | |-------|-------|-------------| | 1 | Delayed OFF time | time in seconds to delay OFF | | 2 | Panic ON time | Time in seconds for panic mode ON | | 3 | Panic OFF time | time in seconds for OFF in panic mode | | 4 | Basic Set Value | Send value to association group on trigger | | 5 | Power Up State | Power Up State of the switch | | 6 | Panic mode enable | Enables this switch to participate in panic mode | | 7 | Dimmer Ramp Time | Time in seconds to reach desired level | | 8 | Kickstart / Rapid Start | Turn on or off rapid start feature | | 11 | Minimum Dimmer Level | The minimum dim level the switch will allow | | 12 | Maximum Dimmer Level | The maximum dim level the switch will allow | | | Switch All Mode | Set the mode for the switch when receiving SWITCH ALL commands | ### Parameter 1: Delayed OFF time time in seconds to delay OFF The amount of time in seconds the switch will delay when trigger the delayed off feature Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_1_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 2: Panic ON time Time in seconds for panic mode ON The amount of time in seconds the switch will turn on for when panic mode is triggered Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_2_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 3: Panic OFF time time in seconds for OFF in panic mode The amount of time in seconds the switch will turn off for when panic mode is triggered Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_3_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 4: Basic Set Value Send value to association group on trigger Setting this to anything other than 0 will cause the value to be transmitted to devices in the association group when the switch is triggered.
