Delete a Z-Wave device from the network. To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network. A collection of Z-Wave devices controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control the system. The first controller used to set up your devices and network. Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or delete modules from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your network. A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot include or delete modules to the network. A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Inclusion controller is created from the Primary Controller in a SIS enabled Z-Wave network. Inclusion Controller has the ability to add and remove devices from the network. A collection of Z-Wave devices configured to turn to a specific level, setting, mode, or perform an operation. Scenes are usually activated by a controller, timed event, or specific conditions.

Normally, it is need to click the PROG button of the Z-Wave device to add into the network and one by one. The gateway will create a control page / section to Z-Wave devices. User can control / monitor Z-Wave devices under the control page.

ZRC-100 can discover all existing Z-Wave devices from the network and no need to click the PROG button one by one

, discovered devices will be re-assigned to their default categories (Devices, Comforts and Sensors), and names will be re-assigned with default naming in ascending order which is implemented by the function of “Re-scan Devices”.

To implement this function, your ZRC-100 is needed to follow below steps:

1) Assume all Z-Wave devices have been added by gateway.

2) ZRC-100 should act as a secondary controller (receive all

network and device information from a primary controller), please refer to “Learning Mode” section in this manual.

WIRELESS INFORMATION

Wireless range:

This device has an open air line of sight transmission distance of 100 feet which complies with the Z-Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on the amount of objects in between Z-Wave devices such as walls and furniture. Every Z-Wave device set up in your house will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot.

Radio frequency limitations:

1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can

reduce the maximum range of 65 feet by up to 25 to 30%.

2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then

concrete, brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on signal strength.

3. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range as

they are housed in metal junction boxes which could reduce the range by up to 25 to 30%.

MAINTENANCE

1 Do not expose your remote to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high

temperatures or mechanical shocks.

2 Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to

leak.

3 Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your remote. 4 Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. 5 Do not disassemble your remote controller, it contains no user-

serviceable parts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Z-Wave Frequently Asked Questions

Q Why won’t my remote work with the Z-Wave devices I

purchased from another country?

different regions are set to different frequencies. Before purchasing new devices make sure you have checked that the device is compatible in your region.

Q Do I need an electrician to install Z-Wave products in my

house?

A Installation can be simple. In some cases all you need to do is

attach the Z-Wave plug in module into the wall socket. For more advanced in-wall modules you may need this done by a qualified technician.

Q What can the Remotec ZRC-100 do for me? A A single Z-Wave network can include 232 nodes. If necessary,

more than one network can be bridged to extend the number of nodes further, although this is normally not needed in a residential environment.

The total number of controllable End-point (EP) / device / sensor is 128 items which is listed on the “Device” and “Sensor” page. ZRC-100 also supports 6 thermostats which are listed on the “Comfort” page. You can control up to 12 scenes (Scene On/Off) with your ZRC-100. Each Scene supports up to 32 Z-Wave devices or End-point (EP).

It is able to control the Z-Wa ve lighting devices (Dimmer or

Switch) with multi-channel, window shades, thermostats, Z-Wave to AC IR extender and door lock. Also, it is support Multi-level Sensor and that can show the current room temperature on the screen.

Q If my Z-Wave devices had already added into my Z-Wave

gateway (primary controller) network, what should I do for my ZRC-100? How to copy my scenes settings to my ZRC-100?

A Your ZRC-100 can act as a secondary controller

information about other devices and scenes setting acquired from your gateway (primary controller).

Please refer to user m a nual with below steps:

i) ZRC-100 should enter the “Learning Mode

(Replicating All Network and Device Information from a Primary Controller to your ZRC-100), for details please refer to ZRC-100 user manual.

ii) Make sure the gateway scenes were mapped to your Scene ID

number and activated event for Scene Controller. You may need to setup the trigger settings on gateway before next steps.

iii) Gateway should enter the “Inclusion Mode

ZRC-100 into the network and replicating all network and device information from a primary controller to your ZRC-100, please refer to gateway user manual.

iv) Now, ZRC-100 will act as a secondary controller. All scenes

and device node information will transfer from gateway to ZRC-100, you can On/Off the scene through ZRC-100 [step of A3.1].

v) Your ZRC-100 will acquire scene configuration and node

information only. That means you have scene copied from gateway but you need to include individual Z-Wave device by ZRC-100 if you want to use ZRC-100 to control them individually.

Q Can I include all Z-Wave devices from the network by ZRC-

100 and no need to click the PROG button for each device?

A Yes! ZRC-100 provides a useful function which is “Re-scan

Devices” that allows rediscovering all Z-Wave devices from the network.

Please refer to user m a nual with below steps:

i) Assume all Z-Wave devices have been added by gateway. ii) ZRC-100 should act as a secondary controller

[step of B11.1].

iii) Execute the “Re-scan Devices” function [step of C3].

ZRC-100 will rediscover Z-Wave devices from the network,

discovered devices will be re-assigned to their default categories (Devices, Comforts and Sensors), and names will be re-assigned with default naming in ascending order.

- This action may take up to 0.5-1 hour depends on how many devices are in your network, and it will wipe out all previously stored device names!

- Please make sure batteries are full before proceed!

iv) Now, all Z-Wave devices will appear on the Device, Comfort

and Sensor categories. You can rename your device individually if needed.

Q Can I use 2 or more ZRC-100 controllers in my house at one

time?

A You can use multiple ZRC-100 around your house by assigning

one remote to be the primary remote and have an additional secondary controller.

Q What is multi-channel device? A The multi-channel command class used to control one or more end

points in a given device that supports this command class.

There are several kinds of multi-channel products in the market

such as Z-Wave wall switch / dimmer and power strip. It is able to control the end-point individually.

z Z-Wave wall switch / dimmer

Multi-Channel Device End Point 1

Multi-Channel Device End Point 2

z Z-Wave power strip

Multi-Channel Device End Point 1

Multi-Channel Device

End Point 4

Please refer to the target device user manual for more information

such as Inclusion / Exclusion and add End Point to a Scene / Group.

Some multi-channel device in the market may lack of the capability to report Multi-Channel Capability Report (MCCR) for each end point (channel). (The MCCR is used to deter mine what node shall receive th e association commands containing what node in the network it shall be associated to.)

In this case, the multi-channel device can only be individually controlled by ZRC-100 under Device Menu, it can not be individually assigned to different scenes, and n either can it be associated to primary sensors (e.g. door/window sensor).

There are many brands can supports multi-channel with MCRR in the market such as Merten, MK Astral, Fibaro, etc…

If you want to assign individual end-point (channel) to different scene or make individual Association with other devices, we recommend yo u to check with your l ocal dealer to make sure the multi-channel device can rep ort Multi-Chan nel Capability Report (MCCR) for each end point.

Q Why do I need a different module for outdoor lighting? A The outdoor module is designed to withstand various weather

conditions including heat, rain and snow.

Q If I lost my ZRC-100 will I also lose my settings? A Yes and no, if you lose your primary ZRC-100 you will need to

add all the Z-Wave devices to your new primary remote again. If you lose the secondary one you can replicate all the Z-Wave setup information from your primary remote onto a new secondary remote.

Q Where can I keep up to date with the latest Z-Wave products

for my house?

A You can keep up to date by visiting the www.remotec.com.hk
