Radio Frequency Controlled, 120 VAC,
Wall Mounted 3-Way Transmitter, Release 1.1
ZTW103 WALL MOUNTED TRANSMITTER
The ZTW103 Wall Mounted Transmitter is a component of the HomePro lighting control system. As it controls
no load directly, wire the Transmitter anywhere power is available according to the diagram above and program
from the Wireless Controller to operate loads. Inclusion of the ZTW103 Wall Mounted Transmitter on the ZTH100
Wireless Controller menu allows remote ON/OFF control and dimming of lights controlled by associated modules.
This Wall Mounted Transmitter is designed to work with other Z-Wave enabled devices. Z-Wave nodes of other
types can be Included in the network and will also act as repeaters to increase the range of the network.
There are no field repairable assemblies on this unit. If service is needed, the unit must be returned where
purchased.
INSTALLATION
DANGER! SHOCK HAZARD. Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is intended
for installation in accordance with the National Electric code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian
Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation.
Retain instructions for future use.
With power off, wire this ZTW103 and AS101’s (if used) according to the diagram shown above. AS101’s are
required to be wired to the same line (or neutral) which is also wired to the master unit as well as the load being
controlled, and not wired to any other neutral. If multiple neutral’s are tied together in one box separate the neutral’s
to preserve the integrity of the ZTW103 circuit. If more than one ZTW103 is to be installed in a wall box, scored
tabs on the side can be broken off by bending back and forth with pliers, to accommodate proper fit. Apply power
when completed.

2. Press and hold the bottom of the paddle to dim Z-Wave enabled dimmers.
Associating Z-Wave devices you want to control into the ZTW103
Refer to your controllers instructions to find out how to associate Z-Wave devices
You can associate another Z-Wave device into any or all of the 4 available groups in the ZTW103. The four
groups are described below:
Group 1
Nodes in this group are turned ON by tapping the top of the paddle or OFF by tapping the bottom of the
paddle.
Nodes associated into this group are dimmed by pressing and holding the bottom of the paddle until the
desired dim level is reached or brightened by pressing and holding the top of the paddle until the desire level
is reached.
The LED on the ZTW103 will indicate the status of this group ONLY.
Note that associating nodes into group 2 or 3 will cause a very slight delay before the command is transmitted to group 1.
Group 2
Nodes in this group are turned ON by tapping the top of the paddle twice or OFF by tapping the bottom of the
paddle twice.
Nodes associated into this group are dimmed by tapping the bottom of the paddle once and then pressing and
holding the bottom of the paddle until the desired dim level is reached or brightened by tapping the top of the
paddle once then pressing and holding the top of the paddle until the desire level is reached..
Group 3
Nodes in this group are turned ON by tapping the top of the paddle three times or OFF by tapping the bottom
of the paddle three times. Nodes associated into this group are dimmed by tapping the bottom of the paddle
twice and then pressing and holding the bottom of the paddle until the desired dim level is reached or brightened by tapping the top of the paddle twice then pressing and holding the top of the paddle until the desire
level is reached..
Group 4
Nodes in this group are turned ON or OFF or set to a specific dim level when the ZTW103 is controlled
remotely.
You can place up to 5 nodes in each group.
If controlling dimmers, for best results, associate the dimmers into the group first.

Configuration
The ZTW103 supports the Configuration command.
The ZTW230 simulates the operation of a dimmer. Using configuration commands you can adjust the dimming
parameters as though it were a dimmer. The ZTW103 can be configured to operate slightly differently than how
it works when you first install it. Using the configuration command you can change operational characteristics.
You can use a ZTH100 to send Configuration commands as follows:
(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 1)
The ZTW103 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 can be sent so that the dimmer ignores the start level and instead start dimming from its current
level. By default, the ZTW103 sends the command so that the dimmer will start dimming from its current dim
level rather than the start level embedded in the command. To change this, simply set the configuration
parameter above to 0.
Note that many ACT Z-Wave enabled dimmers have the configuration option to ignore the start level
no matter how you configure the ZTW103
Suspend Group 4
• Parameter No: 2
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
You may wish to disable transmitting commands to Z-Wave devices that are in Group 4 without “un-associating”
those devices from the group. Setting parameter 2 to the value of 1 will stop the ZTW103 from transmitting to
devices that are “associated” into Group 4.
Night Light
• Parameter No: 3
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
The LED on the ZTW103 will by default, turn ON when the status of the devices in Group 1 is ON. To make
the LED turn ON when the status of Group 1 is OFF set this parameter to a value of 1.
Invert Switch
• Parameter No: 4
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
To change the top of the transmitter to OFF and the bottom of the transmitter to ON, set parameter 4 to 1. To
change back to original settings, set this parameter to the value of 0.
Ignore Start Level When Receiving Dim Commands
• Parameter No: 5
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
Note that this only affects a level that is reported or possibly sent by the ZTW103 since the ZTW103
does not control a load.
The ZTW103 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 can be sent so that the dimmer ignores the start level and instead start dimming from its current
level. By default, the ZTW103 sends the command so that the dimmer will start dimming from its current dim

level rather then the start level embedded in the command. To change this, simply set the configuration
parameter above to 0.
Adjusting Dim Rate
• Parameter 7-12
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values: (See next)
Note that this only affects a level that is reported or possibly sent by the ZTW103 since the ZTW103
does not control a load.
For example: There are 3 sets of parameters that can adjust the dimming rate of the ZDW120.
1. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer receives a Z-Wave command
excluding ALL ON or ALL OFF command.
2. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer is locally controlled.
3. One set to control how fast the dim rate is when the dimmer receives an ALL ON or ALL OFF command.
These values can be changed instantly to allow various scenes and effects.
The first of these parameters is the “dim step” (dim rate) parameter. It can be set to a value of 1 to 99. This value
indicates how many levels the dimmer will change when the timer (discussed below) expires.
The second parameter is the timing (how fast the dim rate) parameter. It can be set to a value of 1 to 255.
This value indicates in 10 millisecond resolution, how often the dim level will change. For example, if you set this
parameter to 1, then every 10mS the dim level will change. If you set it to 255, then every 2.55 seconds the dim
level will change.
With the combination of the two parameters that can control the dim rate, the dimmer can be adjusted to dim from
max to min or min to max at various speeds between 10 millisecond and 252.45 seconds (over 4.25 minutes).
On/Off Command dim rate (excluding ALL ON/ALL OFF commands)
• Parameter 7
• Dim step Parameter (default = 3)
• Valid Values: 1-99
• Parameter 8
• Dim timer Parameter (default =10)
• Valid Values: 1-255
Local Control dim rate
• Parameter 9
• Dim step Parameter (default = 3)
• Valid Values: 1-99
• Parameter 10
• Dim timer Parameter (default = 10)
• Valid Values: 1-255
ALL ON/ALL OFF dim rate
• Parameter 11
• Dim step Parameter (default = 3)
• Valid Values: 1-99
• Parameter 12
• Dim timer Parameter (default = 10)
• Valid Values: 1-255
Disable Group 4 During a Dim Command
• Parameter 13
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)

Note that this only affects a level that is reported or possibly sent by the ZTW103 since the ZTW103
does not control a load.
After the ZTW103 is commanded to stop dimming when it has been dimming because of the DIM START
command, it will then command the Z-Wave devices that are in Group 4 to its new level. To prevent the ZTW103
from commanding the Z-Wave devices in Group 4 during this particular occurrence, set Parameter 13 to the
value of 1.
Enable Shade Control Group 1
• Parameter 16
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
The ZTW103 can control shade control devices via its group 1 if this configuration parameter is set to 1.
Enable Shade Control Group 2
• Parameter 14
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values: 0 or 1 (default 0)
The ZTW103 can control shade control devices via its group 2 if this configuration parameter is set to 1.
Enable Shade Control Group 3
• Parameter 15
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values: 0 or 1 (default 0)
The ZTW103 can control shade control devices via its group 3 if this configuration parameter is set to 1.
LED Transmission Indication
• Parameter 19
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 , 1, 2 (default 2)
The ZTW103 will flicker its LED when it is transmitting to any of its 4 groups. This flickering can be set to not
flicker at all (set to 0), to flicker the entire time it is transmitting (set to 1), or to flicker for only 1 second when it
begins transmitting (set to 2). By default, the ZTW103 is set to flicker for only 1 second.
Poll: Minutes
• Parameter 20
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 1 through 255 (default: 2)
The ZTW103 will poll the first node in Group 1 in order to keep itself synchronized with the group if this
configuration parameter is set to 1. How often it will poll is configured using the parameter above.
Poll First Node in Group 1
• Parameter 21
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 , 1 (default 0)
The ZTW103 will poll the first node in Group 1 in order to keep itself synchronized with the group if this
configuration parameter above is set to 1.
Each Configuration Parameter can be set to its default setting by setting the default bit in the Configuration Set
command. See your controller’s instructions on how to do this (and if it supports it).
All Configuration commands will be reset to their default state when the ZTW103 is reset from the Z-Wave system.
