WA00Z-1 WALL MOUNTED SWITCH

The GoControl™ family Z-Wave® certifi ed wireless lighting products (smart
LED bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, and plug-in modules), security
devices (alert sounder, passive infrared sensor and door/window transmitter)
and Control products (Garage Door and thermostats) bring 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. The WA00Z-1 Wall Mounted Switch is
simple to set up and can be installed anywhere to operate other load bearing
Z-Wave devices.

GoControl Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create an
integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability
with security, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.

Z-WAVE PLUS FEATURES

The WA00Z-1 contains a Z-Wave 500 Series Module that supports Z-Wave
Plus® features. A Z-Wave certifi ed portable or stationary Controller can
communicate with the Z-Wave 500 Series Module.

Depending on the capability of the Controller or gateway software, the following
operations can be performed with the WA00Z-1. Refer to the Controller or
gateway manual for details.

• Turn the Associated device ON and OFF.

• Dim the Associated device.

• Add or Remove the WA00Z-1.

• Over-the-air firmware update by the gateway (if the gateway has the OTA
function) or static Controller.

• Lifeline function which automatically notifies the Associated modules and
the network that a manually reset device is no longer in the network, thus,
the corresponding Association becomes invalid.

INSTALLATION

The WA00Z-1 can be installed anywhere, adding a switch where it is most
convenient.

The WA00Z-1 can be installed without any screws by using the included
double sided tape. In some cases, mounting screws can be used to secure the
WA00Z-1 over an existing wall switch.

Activate the two CR2032 lithium coin cell batteries in the battery compartment
in the WA00Z-1 main unit by removing the two battery pull tab strips.

Once the batteries are activated, select the proper faceplate to be used for
WA00Z-1. Use the wider faceplate to cover a single gang wall switch. Use the
narrower faceplate when used on a multi-gang wall switch.

Installation with double sided tape

Install the WA00Z-1 with the included double sided tape as follows.

1. Snap on the faceplate on the WA00Z-1 so that the two buttons are fl ush with
the surface of the faceplate.

2. Place the double sided tapes in the 4 corners
on the back side of WA00Z-1 main unit as
shown.

3. Attach the WA00Z-1 on top of the existing wall
plate. Position the WA00Z-1 properly over the
switch (the battery compartment should be
on the bottom side and existing wall switch
should be in ON position). Make sure the
surface is clean and dry before securing.

4. Secure the WA00Z-1 tightly by pressing fi rmly
on the existing wall plate

Installation with Mounting Screws

If your existing light switch is a decorator type or toggle switch with screw holes
that line up with WA00Z-1, you may secure the WA00Z-1 using two screws.

Installation on a Single-gang Switch

1. Remove the mounting screws on the existing wall plate

2. Remove the existing wall plate from the in-wall switch.

3. Place the bottom case of WA00Z-1 on the in-wall switch. Make sure the
existing switch is in the ON position.

4. Tighten the mounting screws and secure the bottom case of WA00Z-1

5. Place the wider faceplate on the WA00Z-1 main unit.

Installation on a Multi-gang Switch

1. Remove the mounting screws on the existing wall plate that you wish to
cover (do NOT remove the screws on other switch nor the wall plate).

2. Place the WA00Z-1 main unit on top of the existing faceplate. Make sure
the existing switch is in ON position.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Please note that it is extremely important to follow the installation procedure
to have WA00Z-1 operate properly with your home gateway. Installation of
WA00Z-1 ensures that the power to the Z-Wave device always remains ON.
Without the electrical power to the Z-Wave device, it cannot be turned ON
remotely nor function as a signal repeater to maintain proper Z-Wave network.

PROGRAMMING

Adding to a network:

Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the
command of the Wireless Controller.

1. With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, press either button on the
WA00Z-1. The green LED should fl ash twice.

2. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was added”
to the network.

3. The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.

✓ NOTE: If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed or the WA00Z-1

LED fl ashed red, repeat Steps 1-3.

✓ NOTE: If you have trouble adding the WA00Z-1 to a group it may be that

the Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must
fi rst “RESET UNIT” to remove it from the network. Although adding it to a
group includes it in the network, removing it from a group does not remove it
from the network. If removed from a group, it functions as a repeater (only).
“RESET UNIT” removes it completely from the network.

To Reset Unit (If Required):

In the event that your primary Controller is lost or otherwise inoperable, to reset
the WA00Z-1 and clear all network information, follow these steps:

1. Press the top switch fi ve times and then press the bottom switch fi ve times
within fi ve seconds.

2. The LED will fl ash seven times to indicate that a Reset is taking place.

Removing from a network:

The WA00Z-1 can be removed from the network by the Controller/Gateway.
Refer to the Controller operating instructions for details.

1. Set the Controller into Removal Mode and follow its instruction to delete the
WA00Z-1 from the Controller.

2. Remove the switch by pressing either button on the WA00Z-1. The LED will
fl ash twice indicating that it has been removed.

3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was
removed” from the network.

3. Secure the WA00Z-1 main unit to the existing wall plate using the included
longer mounting screws.

4. Snap on the narrower faceplate on the WA00Z-1. Make sure the two buttons
are fl ush with the surface of the faceplate.
