Introduction

The ZRC-90 Scene Master (Figure 1) is a Z-Wave Central Scene
Controller. When one of the buttons on the ZRC-90 is pushed, your Z­Wave central controller will receive a signal which it can use to trigger
unlimited control possibilities. With 8 buttons, each supporting a long­press capability, you can control 16 different actions in your central
controller. The ZRC-90 is a great solution for triggering events more
quickly than taking out your smart-phone and running a home control
App. The Scene Master is ideal for kids, elderlies and guests who may
not have full access to your smart home’s mobile application and
hence may not have the rights to switch on various lighting, heating,
air conditioning and other home appliance. With a convenient snap-in
wall mount, the ZRC-90 can also be removed to keep it handy while
you go about your home for the ultimate in simple convenience.

Glossary

Device or Node

Devices and nodes are all terms to describe
an individual Z‐Wave device. These are all
interchangeable when setting up your Z­Wave network.

Inclusion Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.

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.

Scene

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.

Primary
Controller

The first controller used to set up your
devices and network. Only the Primary
Controller can be used to include or remove
modules from a network. It is recommended
that you mark the primary controller for
each network for ease in modifying your
network.

Secondary
Controller

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
remove modules to the network.

SUC ID Server
(SIS)

When a SUC is also configured as a node ID
server (SIS) it enables all other controllers to
include/exclude nodes. The SIS
automatically becomes the Primary
Controller in the network when enabled.
There can only be one SIS in each individual
network. To avoid inconsistency, all node ID
allocations are maintained by the SIS.

Inclusion
Controller

The SIS enables other controllers to
include/exclude nodes to/from the network.
When SIS functionality is enabled the
controller also takes the role as the Primary
Controller because it has both latest
network topology and allocated node IDs. All
the other controllers are called Inclusion
Controllers because they can
include/exclude nodes to/from the network.
