Home Control Network Overview

The Z-Wave Network

Z-Wave® is “interoperable, two-way RF mesh networking technology”. In
plain English, Z-Wave® allows you to remotely control Z-Wave® enabled

devices in your home.

its subsidiaries.

Z-Wave enabled devices are remote control modules that lights or appliances
plug into or accessories with built-in Z-Wave capabilities that are designed to
work with all other Z-Wave enabled devices in a home control network. Each
module can act as a wireless “ repeater” that extends the range of the system
and insures that commands intended for another device in the network are
received.

The wireless range of Z-Wave devices have a standard, open-air, line-of-sight
distance of 65 feet. The actual performance in a home will depend on the
type on construction, amount of metal between devices, and the number of
Z-Wave devices that are repeating the wireless signals.

Beyond simple controlling of a single device, multiple device control
commands can be assigned using a “Scene”. A Scene can be run on its own,
or “ Rules” can be assigned to trigger a Scene after a Control Panel “ event”
such as arming your system or when an alarm occurs.

The Go!Control Security System’s Z-Wave Home Services has been designed
to operate with Z-Wave certifi ed binary (on/off) switches, multi-level (dimmer)
switches, thermostats, and portable controllers available from a variety of
equipment manufacturers.

Adding Devices

Before a device will work in the home control
network, it must be added (also called included)
into the network.

To add one or more switch or thermostat
devices into the network, use the following
steps:

1. Install the Z-Wave Device as directed by the
device’s instructions. If it is a lamp or appliance
module, connect the lamp or load to the module
and be sure the power switch on the lamp or
load is ON.

2. From the Toolbox Screen, press the ADD
DEVICES button. The Control Panel will display

“Discovering devices” and wait for a signal from
a device.

3. Press and quickly release the program button
on the device. (This button may also be called
“bind”, “learn”, or may not be labeled.)

4. When the device is discovered, the display will
show its kind, type, manufacturer, and network
node information assigned to the device.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for any additional devices
that need to be added to the network at this
time.

6. Press BACK when fi nished.

If additional Z-Wave compatible devices are
purchased, and your home control network
expands, these steps can be used at any time
to add additional devices.

Devices can only be included once in the
network. The system will not allow a device to
be added multiple times to the same network.

Naming Devices

Devices in the home control network can be
named to make it easy to identify the individual
lamp or appliance being controlled. The custom
name will show on the Control Panel’s display.

To name each installed switch or thermostat
device, use the following steps:

1. From the Manage Z-Wave Devices Screen, press
the SWITCHES or THERMOSTATS button.

2. A list of installed devices will display. If there
are more than three devices, use the ↑ or ↓
arrows to scroll the list.

3. Press the display where the device is listed
to display the current switch settings for the
device.

4. Press the RENAME button to display the
alphanumeric keyboard used to name the device.

5. Use the alphanumeric keyboard to assign a
name (up to 40 characters) to the device.

• Use the ↑ arrow key to shift

to capital letters.

• Use the ↓ arrow key to shift

to lower case letters.

• Press the 0-9 key to access numeric

and symbol characters.

• Press the a-z key to access

alphabetic characters.

• Use the DEL key to delete characters to the

right of the cursor or delete highlighted text.

• Use the BKSP key to delete characters

to the right of the cursor.

• Use the ← or → arrows to move

the cursor along the text.

6. Press OK when you are fi nished naming the
device.

7. Press BACK.

1. From the Home Screen press the HOME
SERVICES button.

2. From the Manage Z-Wave Devices Screen, press
the SWITCHES button.

3. A list of all installed switches will be displayed.

If there are more than three switches, use the ↑
or ↓ arrows to scroll the list. On the right side of
the switch button, binary switches will display
the current status of the switch (OFF or ON).

✓ NOTE: If the light or load is controlled at the

module while the Control Panel is showing
this display, press the REFRESH button to
update the display.

4. Press the display where the device is listed to
display the control buttons for the switch.

5. A check box indicates if the switch is OFF or ON.
