Simply Automated DKIT-02 Lamp Starter Kit — Getting Started Guide

Getting Started guide for the Simply Automated DKIT-02 Lamp Starter Kit — a pre-configured SimplySmart™ Series lighting control kit with 2 lamp modules and a 4-button tabletop scene controller. No computer programming required.

Kit Contents

• 2x Lamp Modules
• 1x Tabletop Controller with 4-Button Scene Controller

Important Safety Instructions

• Read and follow all safety instructions.
• Keep away from water — if the product contacts water or other liquid, disconnect immediately.
• Never use products that have been dropped or damaged.
• Do not use this product outdoors.
• Do not use this product for other than its intended use.
• Do not connect multiple lamps that, combined, exceed the maximum load rating of the product, de-rated for multi-gang boxes.
• Do not install in areas that can exceed 120°F (e.g., an attic).
• Do not use this product to control a receptacle, to avoid the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment.
• Do not cover the product with any material when in use.

Pre-Installation Notes

• Your home should be no more than 2,500 square feet and have only one breaker panel. A phase coupler is required in some home installations (see Troubleshooting section below).
• Not intended for use in multi-dwelling units (condo, apartment, duplex).

Installing the Lamp Modules and Tabletop Controller

1. Locate a convenient spot for the Tabletop Controller (4 buttons) and plug it in.
2. Locate 2 lamps you'd like to control. Plug a lamp module into a wall outlet, then plug a lamp into the socket on the bottom of the lamp module. Turn the lamp on using its own on/off switch. Repeat for the second lamp module.
3. Test the Tabletop Controller:
   • Button 1: turns lamp module #1 on/off — tap once for on, tap twice quickly for off.
   • Button 2: turns lamp module #2 on/off — tap once for on, tap twice quickly for off.
   • Button 3: turns both lamp modules on/off — tap once for on, tap twice quickly for off.
   • Button 4: turns off both lamp modules — tap once.

Helpful hint: If tapping a button doesn't turn on a lamp, check that the lamp's own switch is in the "on" position. Taps should be quick to ensure contact registers at the base sensor.

Both lamps can still be operated manually at any time using their own switches. Lamp modules ship pre-set to turn on at 100% brightness.

Note: Compact fluorescent or fluorescent lighting cannot be dimmed and should only be used at the 100% level — do not attempt to change dimming level for fluorescent lamps.

Each lamp module has a unique ID number printed on the back — for this Lamp Starter Kit (DKIT-02), the modules are ID #4 and #5. This matters for use with the optional Scheduler-Timer accessory.

Editing Scenes on the Tabletop Controller

Each button controls a "scene" that can be re-programmed from its factory preset (Button 1 = lamp #1 on/off, Button 2 = lamp #2 on/off, Button 3 = both lamps on/off, Button 4 = both lamps off). Simply Automated recommends leaving Buttons 3 and 4 as-is since all devices in the SimplySmart™ Series share this "all on / all off" convention (useful at entry, exit, or bedside).

Changing the Dimming Level (Button 1 example)

1. On the Tabletop Controller, press and hold Button 1 to the desired dimming level.
2. At lamp module #1, quickly tap the program switch 5 times using a non-metallic toothpick to enter program mode — the indicator blinks green continuously to confirm.
3. Back at the Tabletop Controller, quickly tap Button 1 seven times to save the new scene.

Caution: Never insert a metal object (e.g. a paperclip) into the module while programming and while it's connected to power.

The same three-step pattern (hold desired level on controller → cycle program switch on the module → confirm with 7 quick taps) applies to Button 2, and to Button 3 (repeat once per lamp module if you want different dimming levels for each). The Tabletop Controller can be inadvertently placed into program mode by tapping Button 1 five times; the indicator blinks green for 5 minutes. To exit program mode early, quickly tap the lamp module's program switch two times.

Adding a Lamp Module to a Button

1. Turn the target lamp on using its own switch.
2. Place the target lamp module into program mode (5 quick taps of the program switch, non-metallic tool only).
3. At the Tabletop Controller, quickly tap the desired button seven times.

Deleting a Lamp Module from a Scene

1. Place the lamp module you want to remove into program mode (5 quick taps of the program switch).
2. At the Tabletop Controller, quickly tap the button you want to remove the module from eight times.

Expansion

The Pre-Configured SimplySmart™ Series supports expansion up to 10 total dimmers/lamp modules controlled with one-touch convenience, combining the Dimmer Starter Kit (DKIT-01, includes 2 dimmers plus a Deluxe Dimmer with 4-button scene controller) with the Lamp Starter Kit and additional standard dimmers, lamp modules, or tabletop controllers as needed.

Note: only one of each pre-configured accessory part number can be ordered per home installation.

Troubleshooting: Phase Coupler

If you've tested each dimmer's rocker and it works, but the tabletop buttons don't turn on all devices, your home's circuits may be out of phase. Homes have a 220V feed to the main panel, split into two 110V phases (A and B) — a phase coupler bridges the two phases so signals reach every device.

The default Network ID for the Pre-Configured Series is 250 — needed when programming the optional Scheduler-Timer.

Custom Expansion Series

For advanced users, Simply Automated's Custom Expansion Series supports up to 250 devices using a PC and UPStart software, including single-rocker dimmers, deluxe dimmers (up to 8 buttons), lamp/appliance modules, an 8-button tabletop pedestal, wall receptacles, fixture relays/dimmers, and scheduler-timers. Controls lighting and 120VAC appliances, heaters, fans, motors, or pumps, with programmable dimming rates (1 second to 4 hours) and an energy-saving countdown timer function.
