FS20Z-1 ISOLATED CONTACT FIXTURE MODULE
Linear’s family of Z-Wave certifi ed wireless lighting controls (switches, 
dimmers, outlets and plug-in modules) brings a new level of intelligent 
wireless capability to commercial and residential environments.
The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard 
for remote home automation, security and other applications. 
Embedded in each device, the Z-Wave smart chip enables two-way RF 
communication among hundreds of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing 
products and services from multiple manufacturers to work seamlessly.
Linear Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create 
an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and 
interoperability with security and health monitoring systems, energy 
management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.
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 qualifi ed electrician perform this 
installation. For indoor use only. Retain instructions for future use.
INSTALLATION
Wire this module in series with a (maximum) 20 amp load according 
to the diagram above. FS20Z-1 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 
neutrals are tied together in one box, separate the neutrals to preserve 
the integrity of the FS20Z-1 circuit. 
Fixture Mounted Confi guration
Push the button on the face to confi gure the module to operate from the 
wireless controller. With the Wireless Controller, the FS20Z-1 can be 
switched ON and OFF remotely, and can be included in groups of lights 
that operate at the same time (a group can also be a single module), 
and in scenes that set a lighting mood.
Over-current Protection
The FS20Z-1 is protected by an internal fuse. This internal fuse is 
factory serviceable only. Check your home circuit breakers before 
concluding that the product must be returned to manufacturer for repair 
at a nominal charge.
Button (Local Control)
The button on the FS20Z-1 allows the user to:
• Turn the load attached ON or OFF.
• Include or exclude the module in the Z-Wave system:
STEP 1. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network by 
adding it to a group (method of adding a node to the network). Refer to 
controller instructions.
STEP 2. The FS20Z-1 must be in its permanently installed location.
• To add a node: Tap the button.
• To remove a node: Tap the button 3 times, then press and hold (Ex. 
tap, tap, tap, hold)
STEP 3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the 
“DEVICE WAS INCLUDED” or “DEVICE WAS EXCLUDED” in the 
network. If attached, an FS20Z-1 ver.2 auxiliary switch can also be 
used to Include or Exclude the module from the Z-Wave system. When 
a controller prompts you to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button on Unit”, 
follow steps 1 through 3 above to satisfy those instructions.
LED Indication
The LED on the FS20Z-1 will turn on when the load attached is ON. 
The LED can be user confi gured however to turn ON when the load 
attached is OFF, if so desired. The FS20Z-1 will fl icker its LED when it 
is transmitting to any of its 4 groups. This can be changed if desired.
Remote Control
The FS20Z-1 will respond to BASIC and BINARY and SCENE 
commands that are part of the Z-Wave system. Refer to your 
controller’s instructions as to whether your controller can transmit those 
commands.
Other Functions
The button on the FS20Z-1 also plays a role as a reset in addition to 
including the module in groups and scenes. This is described in more 
detail in the Wireless Controller instructions.

ADVANCED OPERATION
All On/All Off
The FS20Z-1 supports the ALL ON/ ALL OFF commands.
The FS20Z-1 can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands 
4 different ways. Refer to your controller for information on how to set 
the FS20Z-1 to operate in the manner you desire. Some controllers may 
be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL OFF response.
The 4 different ways the FS20Z-1 can be setup to respond to ALL ON 
and ALL OFF commands are:
• FS20Z-1 will not respond to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.
• FS20Z-1 will respond to ALL OFF command but will not respond to 
ALL ON command.
• FS20Z-1 will respond to ALL ON command but will not respond to 
ALL OFF command.
• FS20Z-1 will respond to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.

INTEROPERABILITY WITH Z-WAVE™ DEVICES
A Z-Wave™ network can integrate devices of various classes, and these 
devices can be made by different manufacturers. The FS20Z-1 can be 
incorporated into existing Z-Wave™ networks. The button on the face of 
the FS20Z-1 can be used to carry out inclusion, association, or exclusion.
REGULATORY INFORMATION
The FS20Z-1 is certifi ed to comply with applicable FCC and IC rules  
and regulations governing RF and EMI emissions. This device complies 
with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following 
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, 
and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including

IMPORTANT !
Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an 
important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some 
limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with 
FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have 
limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a 
time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their 
operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect 
against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior 
to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should 
be communicated to the ultimate users.
