GPB-7000
Gerber Prime Boiler Control Panel

Note: The power cord must meet 1.25mm² or 16AWG or better

This Gerber Prime Boiler GPB-7000 is a security enabled wireless device, based on
Z-Wave Plus technology. Z-Wave PlusTM enabled devices displaying the Z-Wave
PlusTM logo can also be used with it regardless of the manufacturer, and can also be
used in other manufacturer’s Z-WaveTM enabled networks. Remote On/Off control of
the switch is possible with other manufacturer’s wireless Controller. GPB-7000 is
designed to act as a repeater. Repeaters will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that
the signal is received by its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles
and radio dead spots. Because GPB-7000 supports Security Command Class, it can
learn with Secured controller. Its functionality and supported command classes is
identical when included as a secure and non-secure device.

GPB-7000 is able to detect instance wattage (3840/EU, 1920/US) and overload current

(16A) of connected lights or appliances. When detecting overload state, the switch will
be turned off and its On/Off function will be lockout of which LED will flash quickly.
However, disconnect and re-connect the switch will reset its overload condition to
normal status.

Safety Precautions and Installation

• Avoid installing the unit in storming or raining weather.

• Be sure to isolate or switch off power source before installing or

maintenance.

• Do ensure that the power supply circuit protected by a 16A circuit breaker or
suitable equivalent fuse.

IMPORTANT

• Installation must be performed by skilled technicians who are informed about
the standards and technical requirements of the appliance and its proper
installation.

• Check your local codes as they apply to your situation. If the house wiring is
of aluminum, consult with an electrician about proper wiring methods.

Before proceeding with the installation, TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE LIGHTING
CIRCUIT AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX TO AVOID ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.

Adding to Z-Wave

TM

Network

In the front casing, there are thee touch buttons with LED indicator, “”、“┿”、“━”, which
is used to toggle switch on and off or carry out inclusion, exclusion, reset. When first
power is applied, its LED flashes on and off alternately and repeatedly at 2 second
intervals. It implies that it has not been assigned a node ID.

Smart Start

Before adding GPB-7000 into the Z-wave network, the controller should scan its QR
code. Then connect the AC power to GPB-7000, the learning procedure will progress
automatically.

Note: Unlike “inclusion” function as shown in the table below, the execution of
smart start is free from pressing the On/Off button on the Switch.

The table below lists an operation summary of basic Z-Wave functions. Please refer
to the instructions for your Z-WaveTM Certificated Primary Controller to access the
Setup function, and to Add/Remove/associate devices

Installation and Operation

1. Plug this switch into a wall box near the load to be controlled.

2. Connects the load to the switch. Make sure the load to be controlled cannot exceed
16A (Resistive Load).

3. Press the button or switch on the load to the ON position.

4. To manually turn ON the switch, short press the “” button. The green “” LED will
turn ON, and the blue timer LEDs will also turn ON. Every passed 10 minutes will
change one blue LED as a green LED. When all the blue LEDs changes, all the
green LEDs will blink twice and turn off. Then the switch turns off and green “”
LED changes to red “” LED.

5. To manually turn OFF the Switch, short press the “” button. The red LED will turn
ON and the load connected to the switch will also turn OFF.

6. Every short press “┿” button, there will be increasing one more blue LED. When
arrives to the intended timer, stop pressing and all the blue LEDs will blink twice.
Or you can press and hold “┿” button, there will be increasing one more blue LED
every half second. Every blue LED represents 10 minutes working time of switch.
The maximum time is 110 minutes, and the default is 60 minutes.

7. Every short press “━” button, there will be decreasing one blue LED. This means
the working time of switch decrease 10 minutes. The minimum time is 10 minutes.
Or you can press and hold “━” button, there will be decreasing one blue LED every
half second.

8. After switch is turned on for a while, you can still decrease (or increase) the working
time by pressing “━” button (or “┿” button). When all the blue LEDs decreases to
off, the switch will turn off.

Upon receipt of the following commands from a Z-Wave Controller, the load

attached to GPB-7000will turn on or off.

[Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = 1~99, 255(0xFF)]: the load attached
to the switch turns on.
[Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = 0(0x00)]: the load attached to the
switch turns off.
[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch Binary Set, Value = 1~99, (255)0xFF]: the

0x01，Meter Type = 0x01，Precision = 1， Scale = 0x02， Size = 4，Meter
Value(W)

2-1-3 Overload alarm report
When GPB-7000detects the current is more than 16A, it will send Alarm Report to
Group 1 node. After detecting overload state and sending this alarm report, GPB­7000 will turn off the relay automatically and lockout the “” button. The only thing to
do is disconnecting GPB-7000 and reduce the load. Then reconnect GPB-7000 and
it will work again.

Example:
Scale = 0x04 (V)
Precision = 1
Size = 2 Bytes (V)
Meter Value 1 = 0x09(V)
Meter Value 2 = 0x01(V)
AC load Voltage = (Meter Value 1*256) +(Meter Value 2)= 230.5 (V)
