NOTE: This module must be “included in the Network” only where it will be permanently installed. The proper operation of this node in the
mesh network is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes. You cannot “test bench” confi gure this module, then install.

WO15Z-1 DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

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.

As part of a Z-Wave network, the WO15Z-1 will also act as a wireless
repeater to insure that commands intended for another device in the
network are received. This is useful when the device would otherwise
be out of the radio range of the wireless controller.

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. Make sure the total load controlled does not exceed 1800
watts. For indoor use only. Retain instructions for future use.

INSTALLATION

Wire this receptacle in place of a current receptacle according to the
diagram above. Use copper wire only, or equivalent.

INCLUDING WO15Z-1 TO THE NETWORK

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 WO15Z-1 must be in its permanently installed
location. Tap the button on the face of the WO15Z-1 once when your

controller indicates (to include in the network).

STEP 3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the
“DEVICE WAS INCLUDED” in the network.

NOTE: If you have trouble adding the WO15Z-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” with your controller 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 from the network

Receptacle Confi guration

The WO15Z-1 Receptacle controls the ON and OFF of a load connected
to the controlled outlet (See Wiring Diagram for identifi cation).The
other outlet remains powered all the time. A button on the face of the
receptacle is used to add the module to the wireless network and be
controlled from the wireless controller. With the Wireless Controller, the
WO15Z-1 Receptacle can be turned ON and OFF remotely, and can
be included in groups that operate at the same time (a group can be a
single module), and in scenes that set a lighting mood.

Local ON and OFF

When the button on the face of the WO15Z-1 is pressed, the power to
the controlled outlet will turn on. When the button is pressed again, the
controlled outlet will turn off.

Child Protection

The WO15Z-1 controlled outlet can be set in a child protect mode by the
Wireless Controller. When this mode is active, a user will have to press
the button on the face 3 times rapidly to activate the attached load. The
module operates normally when controlled by the Wireless Controller.

Other Functions

The button on the face of the WO15Z-1 Receptacle can be used to carry
out inclusion (add to a group), association (operate simultaneously with
other nodes), exclusion (remove from group) or reset (remove from
network). The WO15Z-1 has a blue indicator LED. This LED will turn
on when the controlled outlet is on and will turn off when the controlled
outlet is off. However, its behavior can be confi gured as a “night light”
(LED ON when the controlled outlet is off). See Confi guration section
below on how to do it.

ADVANCED OPERATION

Confi guration
The WO15Z-1 supports the Confi guration Command.

The WO15Z-1 has some features that can be confi gured (if your
controller supports it).

The WO15Z-1 can be confi gured to operate slightly differently than
how it works when you fi rst install it. You can use a Z-Wave Wireless
Controller to send Confi guration commands (refer to the Setup Menu,
Confi guration section of the IR-100 instructions). Using the Confi guration
command you can confi gure the following:

Set this parameter to 0 to have the blue indicator LED show state of
controlled outlet (indicator ON = outlet ON).

Set this parameter to 1 to have indicator show the opposite state of
controlled outlet (indicator ON = outlet OFF).

• Configuration Parameter No 3.

• Length: 1 Byte

• Valid Values: 0 or 1 (Default:0)

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.
