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 device provides control of 4 Groups and 4 Scenes.
Up to 32 Z-Wave devices can be included in each of the
Groups and Scenes. It is a secondary controller only and

cannot function as a primary controller.

NOTE: This product can be
operated in one Z-Wave network
with Z-Wave certified devices from
other manufacturers and/or other
applications. The different listening
nodes within the network may act
as repeaters regardless of vendor.

For best results, please read all of
the instructions before using this
controller. Keep this manual for
future reference.

Z-WAVE TERMINOLOGY

Primary Controller: This is the
main device used to set up and
control your Z-Wave network.
There can only be one primary
controller and it must be used to
add or delete devices. A primary
controller can be a portable
device like a hand-held remote,
a static controller (permanently
installed & never moved), a
Z-Wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave
enabled Ethernet router/bridge/
gateway.

Secondary Controller: The
Z-Wave network supports
multiple controllers so the
residents can use additional
Z-Wave remotes throughout the
home. A secondary controller
can not be used to add or delete
devices.

Slave: Devices within the Z-Wave
network are either controllers or
slaves. Most AC powered slaves
also function as repeaters in the
network, and when required,
relay the command signals to
the destination device. Battery
powered devices like motion
detectors are typically asleep
and do not function as repeaters.

Home Control Network: Your
controllers and every Z-Wave
device you have added with the
primary controller are linked
together into a wireless network.
Each device in your network has
a unique address assigned to it
and cannot be activated by your
neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.

Light/Node/Device: Node is the
technical term used to describe
a Z-Wave device in your home
control network. Please note that
the terms “Node”, “Device” and
“Light” all refer to an individual
Z-Wave enabled device and
are interchangeable within the
context of these instructions.

Group: Groups can also be
thought of as an area or zone.
Multiple Z-Wave devices can be
turned ON or OFF with a single
command when they are placed
into a Group. One example
would be Grouping your porch
light, exterior garage lights and
patio lights together so that they
could all be turned ON if you hear
a strange sound in the middle of
the night.

Scene: Scenes are normally
activity based lighting schemes.
A Scene lets you establish preset
brightness levels for multiple
Z-Wave controlled lights and
then control them with one
command. This is ideal for mood
or task lighting. Scene 1 could
be the family room lights set to
dim for watching TV. Scene 2
could have the same lights set
to a different brightness level for
other activities like reading or
entertaining.

Include /Exclude: Include
and exclude are the formal
terms used to describe adding,
removing or deleting devices to
or from the control network or
Groups and Scenes.

Replicate: This is the Z-Wave
term for copying or transferring
the Z-Wave network data to a
new controller. This process is
also used to update secondary
controllers after changes have
been made to the control
network with the primary
controller.

BATTERIES

Two CR2032 batteries are
pre-installed in the unit. Be sure

to Remove the insulating tabs
before trying to program and use
the device.

Battery Use and Safety

- Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and
recommended type.

- Replace both batteries at the
same time! Do not mix old and
new batteries or different types
of batteries.

- Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.

- Replace fully discharged
batteries immediately

- Remove batteries if the product
is to be unused for extended
period of time.

To Install Batteries:

1. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver

into the small slot at the
bottom of the faceplate and
twist gently to remove the
faceplate from the device.

2. Remove the small screw from
the battery retainer door. Pull
out on the top of the door (it is
hinged at the bottom).

3. Slide the batteries out of the
holder.

4. Install new batteries in the

correct orientation based on
the “+” & “-“ polarity markings

5. Hold the batteries in place

(pushing them toward the
center of the unit) and close
the battery door making sure
that the ends of the retainer
door fit over the batteries.
Please note that the battery
retainer door hinges at the
bottom and can lock in the
open position. You may need
to pull or lift it gently to close it.

6. Reinstall the retainer screw
and faceplate.

Battery Life: This device is just like any
universal A/V remote control;
the more you use it, the shorter the

battery life. Under normal operating
conditions, the batteries should last
for approximately one year. LED
indicators behind the Group/Scene
control buttons will blink when one of
the buttons is Pressed. The brightness
of the blinking LED will diminish as the
batteries are depleted. A very dim
LED will provide a visual indication
that the batteries need to be replaced.
Network, Group & Scene programming
will be retained while changing
batteries. Please note: Using this
device to control Groups and Scenes
containing large numbers of Z-Wave
devices will be more demanding on
the batteries than smaller Groups and
Scenes, resulting in shorter battery life.

NOT FOR USE WITH MEDICAL OR LIFE
SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

Z-Wave enabled devices should never
be used to supply power to, or control
the On/Off status of medical and/or life
support equipment.
