Instructions for RF9500
Product ExplanationDescription:
he RF9500 is a battery-operated device that allows you to install a
T
switch / dimmer almost anywhere you desire and control
(On/Off/Dim/Brighten) loads/lights wired to ASPIRE RF™ devices using
the Association function (i.e. creating a 3-way where a second
ocation is not currently available). The RF9500 can then used to wire-
l
essly control other hard-wired RF devices such as a switch, dimmer, or
l
eceptacle. This wireless control is done by associating the RF9500
r
ith these other hard-wired devices.
w
Battery installation and replacement:
CR2025 batteries are included with each RF9500. Lift the battery
2
atch with a screwdriver to open the battery cover. Remove the
l
plastic inserts from under the battery. (need pictures to illustrate this).
Observe polarity when installing the batteries. Re-latch the battery
cover.
After the batteries are successfully installed, the LED on the RF9500 will
link for one minute to indicate the device in not included in the RF
b
etwork. The device will go to sleep after one minute to conserve
n
attery life. When not installed, pressing the ON/OFF button again will
b
ake up the device, and the LED will resume blinking for one minute
w
o remind the installer that the device is still not installed in the RF
t
etwork.
n
ith normal usage battery life is expected to be 1-2 years.
W
Programming the RF9500:
The RF9500 must be first installed in the RF network first, and then
associated with another hard-wired RF device that is connected to
athe load. Through association the RF9500 will wirelessly control these
other hard-wired RF devices, such as a switch, receptacle or dimmer.
One RF9500 can be associated with up to 5 other hard-wired RF
devices at one time.
For detailed programming instructions refer to the ASPIRE RF manual
included with the Handheld (RFHDCSG) or Table Top (RFTDCSG)
controllers.
The RF9500 is included in the RF network by pressing the ON/OFF
switch button during the network installation process.
During the association process, the Cooper Controller will prompt the
user to wake up the RF9500, which will then allow the association
process to occur. To wake the RF9500 press the On/OFF switch once.
Installation instructions:
Can be pasted onto any flat surface using double-sided tape
provided.
Can be screwed to the wall using 2 screws and anchors provided. To
install the RF9500 beside an already existing installed wall mounted

evice, use one RFBS22 inner
d
allplate for every already existing
w
nstalled device and the appropriate
i
ulti-gang ASPIRE wallplate (9521,
m
9522, 9523, 9524, 9525 or 9526).
NOTE: Do not install RF9500 over an
lectrical box. The device must be
e
nstalled onto a flat surface.
i
Operating instructions:
The ON/OFF switch on the RF9500
ill turn the load ON/OFF when
w
ssociated with the RF9501 or RF9518
a
witch or other Z-Wave RF switches.
s
he ON/OFF switch on the RF9500
T
will turn the light ON/OFF when
associated with a Z-Wave RF Master
Dimmer such as the RF9534-N,
F9535-N, and others.
R
he UP/DOWN dimmer buttons
T
ill control the light level when
w
ssociated with a Z-Wave RF Master
a
Dimmer.
The ON/OFF switch on the RF9500
will turn a receptacle ON/OFF when
associated with a Z-Wave RF
eceptacle such as the RF9505-T or
r
ther Z-Wave RF receptacles.
o
Z-Wave Device Network
Installation Instructions:
This product may be added to a
ew or existing Z-Wave network. A Cooper Wiring Devices Z-Wave
n
evice has a blue LED that will blink when the device is not included
d
in a Z-Wave network. Note: The RF9500 will only blink for one minute
following the installation of the batteries, or pressing of the button, in
order to conserve battery life.
To include this device in a Z-Wave network, select the command on
your Z-Wave controller for inclusion (Install, Add Device, Add Node,
Include Device, etc.), then press the switch one time to include it in
the network. The LED will stop blinking after the device is successfully
included in the network.
To exclude this device from a Z-Wave network, select the command
on your Z-Wave controller for exclusion (Uninstall, Remove Device,
Remove Node, Exclude Device, etc.), then press the switch one time
to exclude it from the network. The LED will start blinking.
This product works with other Z-Wave products from different vendors
and product categories as part of the same network.
This product is not a listening node as it is a battery powered device
and is allowed to go to sleep to conserve battery life.
Therefore it will not perform the repeater function typical of other ZWave devices.
