ZDP100 PLUG-IN LAMP MODULE

The ZDP100 plug-in Lamp Module is a component of the HomePro lighting control system. Plug the Lamp Module
into a wall outlet and plug a lamp into the Lamp Module. Inclusion of the Lamp Module on the ZTH100 Wireless
Controller menu allows remote ON/OFF control and dimming of lamps connected.

This plug-in Lamp Module is designed to work with other Z-Wave enabled devices. Z-Wave nodes of other types can
be added to the system and will also act as repeaters if they support this function of repeating the signal received to
other modules in the system.

As part of a Z-Wave network, the ZDP100 can act as a wireless repeater to insure that commands intended for another
device in the network are received. This is useful when the device would otherwise be out of the radio range of the
wireless controller.

INSTALLATION

Plug this Lamp Module into the wall outlet near the lamp to be controlled, and plug the lamp into the Lamp Module.
See the ZTH100 or other Wireless Controller operating instructions to add this module under the command of the
Wireless Controller. Make sure the lamp(s) to be controlled total no more than 300 watts. WARNING: Plugging a
non-resistive load such as florescent lighting or a device with a motor may result in damage to the Lamp Module and
will void the warranty.

BASIC OPERATION

Local Control

The button on the ZDP100 allows the user to

• Turn on or off or dim and brighten the load attached.

• Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system

• Control other Z-Wave enabled devices.

Also, when a controller prompts you to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button on Unit”, quickly tap the button once
to satisfy those instructions. Also, quickly tapping the button 4 times will give you the same result without changing
the state of the load attached or transmitting to other Z-Wave devices.

• Tapping button toggles the load attached

• Pressing and holding the button will dim or brighten the load attached.

Operation Note

When a light bulb reaches the end of it’s life and burns out, it sometimes creates a momentary short circuit. The

high current that results may cause the dimmer to respond by turning off. Should this happen, replace the bulb
with a new one. The dimmer can now be operated to restore power to the light.

Remote Control

The ZDP100 will respond to BASIC and MULTILEVEL commands that are part of the Z-Wave system. Refer to
your controller’s instructions as to whether your controller can transmit those commands.

See the information in the section titled Version for a complete list of commands the ZDP100 will support.

INTEROPERABILITY WITH Z-WAVE™ DEVICES

A Z-Wave™ network can integrate devices of various classes, and these devices can be made by different
manufacturers. The ZDP100 can be incorporated into existing Z-Wave™ networks.

The button on the face of the ZDP100 can be used to carry out inclusion, association, or exclusion.

ADVANCED OPERATION

Protection

The ZDP100 supports the Protection Command.

The ZDP100 can be set to 1 of 3 Protection modes by a wireless controller. Refer to your controller for information
on how to set the various modes of Protection. Some controllers may only be able to set certain settings of
Protection.

There are 3 modes of Protection:

1. No Protection

2. Child Protection

3. Button totally disabled

When Protection is set to “No Protection” mode, the ZDP100 works normally.

When Protection is set to “Child Protection” mode, you will have to press the button 3 times rapidly to toggle the
attached load. Tap the button twice then press and hold it to dim or brighten the attached load. The ZDP100
operates normally when controlled by a wireless controller.

When Protection is set to “ Enable Total Protection” mode, the button will not work. You will be able to turn the load
on and off only with a wireless controller, however the button can still be used to access the Z-Wave network.

All On/All Off

The ZDP100 supports the ALL ON/ ALL OFF commands.

The ZDP100 can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands 4 different ways.

Refer to your controller for information on how to set the ZDP100 to operate in the manner you desire. Some
controllers may be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL OFF response.

The 4 different ways the ZDP100 can be setup to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands are:

• ZDP100 will not respond to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.

• ZDP100 will respond to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.

• ZDP100 will respond to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.

• ZDP100 will respond to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.

Association

The ZDP100 supports the Association command.

The ZDP100 can be set to control other Z-Wave devices. You can turn on and off, and even dim other Z-Wave
devices once they are “associated” into 1 of 4 groups within the ZDP100.

Each group is turned on or off (or dimmed) by tapping or holding the buttons a differing amount of times.

If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 1, you can turn that device on and off by tapping the button once.
The load attached to the ZDP100 will also turn on or off. You can brighten or dim devices by holding down the
button. The load attached will also brighten or dim.

If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 2, you can turn that device on and off by tapping the button twice.
You can brighten or dim devices by tapping the button once and then holding the button down. The load attached
to the ZDP100 is not affected.

If you associate a Z-Wave device into Group 3, you can turn that device on and off by tapping the button three times.
You can brighten or dim devices by tapping the button twice and then holding the button down. The load attached
to the ZDP100 is not affected.

Only associate transmitters or controllers into Group 4. Group 4 should be used only to update a transmitter or
controller on the status of the ZDP100 which might have been controlled from another device.

You can associate up to 5 Z-Wave devices into each of these groups.

For instructions on how to “associate” a Z-Wave device into one of these groups, refer to your wireless controller
instructions. (If you are using the ZTH100 controller, refer to the Setup Menu, Association section).

A note about dimming, if you combine Z-Wave enabled dimmers and other types of Z-Wave devices in a group,
place a Z-Wave enabled dimmer into the empty group 1st to ensure that the dimming operates correctly.

Routing Support

The ZDP100 is a routing slave

The Z-Wave devices that are “associated” into Group 2 or Group 3 can be commanded from the ZDP100 via
repeater nodes. In other words, the command can be routed through nodes that are in between the Z-Wave device
you are trying to control and the ZDP100.

This routing via repeater nodes only needs to occur when the Z-Wave device you are trying to control and the
ZDP100 are not within direct range of each other. You will be able to determine this is the case, if, after “associating”
a Z-Wave device into a group you cannot control it with the ZDP100.

For Group 2 and Group 3, if you cannot control the Z-Wave device directly from the ZDP100, you must tell the
ZDP100 what other Z-Wave devices are in between it and the Z-Wave device you are trying to control. You must
use a controller to do this so refer to your controller’s instructions on how to tell the ZDP100 this information. This
is sometimes called “Assigning Routes”. Caution: you do not want to do this unnecessarily because the ZDP100
is limited to communicating to 5 Z-Wave devices via repeater nodes. So first, be sure to determine you cannot
control the device directly from the ZDP100 because you can communicate up to 25 Z-Wave devices (5 in each
group) from the ZDP100 without the use of repeater nodes.

Z-Wave devices that you associate into Group 1 cannot be commanded through repeater nodes.
Z-Wave devices that you associate into Group 2 can be commanded through repeater nodes.
Z-Wave devices that you associate into Group 3 can be commanded through repeater nodes.
Z-Wave devices that you associate into Group 4 cannot be commanded through repeater nodes.

There can be up to 4 nodes between the ZDP100 and the Z-Wave device you are trying to command.

Configuration

The ZDP100 supports the Configuration command.

The ZDP100 can be configured to operate slightly differently than it works when you first install it. Using the
configuration command you can configure the following:

Set Ignore Start Level Bit When Transmitting Dim Command

• Suspend Group 4

You can also use a ZTH100 to send Configuration commands. (Refer to the Setup Menu, Configuration section)

Set Ignore Start Level Bit When Transmitting Dim Commands

• Parameter No: 1

• Length: 1 Byte

• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)

The ZDP100 can send Dim commands to Z-Wave enabled dimmers. The Dim command has a start level
embedded in it. A dimmer receiving this command will start dimming from that start level. However, the command
also has a bit that indicates whether the dimmer should ignore the start level. If the bit is set to 1, the dimmer will
ignore the start level and instead start dimming from its current level. To set this bit, configure this parameter to
the value of 1.
