Wireless Lighting Control

Certified

Introduction:
Thank you for your purchase of a GE Z-Wave® control

device. Z-Wave technology is designed to automate
lighting/home control and provide easy remote operation
of all your Z-wave enabled devices. The GE Z-Wave product
family includes a variety of devices to control lighting in your
home. It is up to you whether
you want to control one
room or your entire house
and whether you want
to do it all now or start
with one room and
add more over
time.

This module is
one component
of a Z-Wave®
control system
and is designed to
work with all other
Z-Wave enabled devices
in a home control network. It will
also act as a wireless repeater to insure
that commands intended for another device in the
network are received, thereby extending the range of the
wireless controller. Z-Wave devices of other types and
brands can be added to the system and will also act as
range extenders if they support this function of repeating
the signal received to other nodes in the system.

The device plugged into the Z-Wave controlled outlet on
this module must not exceed 600 watts (Incandescent);
1800W (15A) Resistive or ½ HP Motor. Total load capacity
for both outlets is 1800W (15A) Resistive.

There are no user serviceable parts in this unit.

Z-wave outlet (other end)

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has

a grounding type plug that has a third (grounding) pin.
This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

The Load-Sense feature on this Z-Wave product will turn the power
to the connected device ON when a change in the load is detected.
Z-Wave connected devices should always be unplugged before

performing any service or maintenance of the devices.

Controlling Appliances:

Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control
appliances. Operation of the Z-Wave device may be in a different
room than the controlled appliance, also an unintentional activation
may occur if the wrong button on the remote is pressed. Z-Wave
devices may automatically be powered on due to timed event
programming. Depending upon the appliance, these unattended
or unintentional operations could possibly result in a hazardous
condition. For these reasons, we recommend the following:

Assign Z-Wave controlled appliances to device numbers

1.

10 – 18 on the GE remote. The likelihood of unintentionally
turning on the appliance will be reduced significantly
because the “Shift” button will need to be pressed before
pressing device numbers 10-18.

Z-Wave devices controlling appliances should be removed

2.

from “All” control setting. Instructions on how to do this
are included in the manual for your GE remote.

Do Not include Z-Wave devices in Groups or Scenes if they

3.

control appliances.
Do Not use Z-Wave devices to control electric heaters or

4.

any other appliances which may present a hazardous
condition due to unattended or unintentional or automatic
power on control.

Double check programs for accuracy before using them.

RISK OF BURNS

Wireless Range

This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open­air, line of sight transmission distances of 65 feet. Actual
performance in a home depends on the number of walls
between the remote controller and the destination device,
the type of construction and the number of Z-Wave enabled
devices installed in the control network.

GE Z-Wave Network

Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and
multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes
which helps eliminate “RF dead-spots”.

Things to consider regarding RF range:

- Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.)
between the remote or a Z-Wave device and the destination
device will reduce the maximum range by approximately
25-30%.

- Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than
walls made of wooden studs and plasterboard (drywall).

- Wall mounted Z-Wave devices installed in metal junction
boxes will suffer a significant loss of range (approximately
20%) since the metal box blocks a large part of the RF signal.
