Help! I can't associate a vizia wall switch module to a intermatic HA09 hand held

[pkshiu]

I have never been able to do this -- I have a mixed manufacturer network of both older intermatic modules+handhelds, and vizia wall dimmers. My primary controller is a leviton RZCPG.

I want to use the little HA09 as a secondary controller to control just a few lights. I can associate intermatic HA09 lamp modules to the handheld no problem. But I can never associate the vizia wall dimmers to it.

Any ideas?

P.K.

I can answer my own question now -- I didn't realized the leviton wall dimmers has a special "button" to put it into program mode -- you need to pull the "paddle" out from the bottom until it clicks on the top. That's how to tell the dimmer to send it's information to the handheld controller.

Actually pulling out the paddle from the bottom until it clicks resets the dimmer to the factory defaults. You need to do this if for example the dimmer is associated to one network and you wanted to change to another. Also, if you are just having problems with the switch association it some times helps to reset it to factory defaults and then join it do a network.

I was wondering about that too. After re-reading the (very poorly done) instruction on the dimmer, it seem that there are different modes with the the air gap switch:

- just lift the push pad "until the air gap switch is engaged and a click is heard"
- push the pad back in -- then it will go into a program mode, and you can tab the pad for different programming feature like setting dim rate.
- But just doing the above step seems to get the dimmer into "program" mode, which lets the hand held "see" the dimmer and finish the association.

Yes, my mistake. To reset the dimmer you have to engage the air-gap switch[font="Helvetica][font="Helvetica] [/b][/font][/font][/size][size="1"]and wait 5 seconds. Press push pad back into frame and hold push pad until the locator LED turns Amber and then flashes Red. The dimmer is now reset.
