Operating Instructions

Introduction

The Z-URC

550EU Z-Wave AV Controller is a universal AV remote

and also a Z-Wave controller (Figure 1). As a universal remote, the ZURC

550EU replaces all your AV remotes through its built-in IR code database or IR code learning. As a Z-Wave controller, the ZURC

550EU works with Z-Wave enabled devices, support multichannel command class devices and controls their on/off or up/down individually, as a Group, or via a pre-configured Scene.

A perfect kit of Z-URC

550EU and ZXT-300EU (Z-Wave-to-AV IR

Extender). It works with any Z-Wave compliant controller or gateway by translating Z-Wave Simple AV command to IR control code. User can set the IR code from the built-in code library of ZXT-300EU, or use the learning function of ZXT-300EU through the simple UI of Z-URC

550EU. User can also download the preset code or learnt

command from Z-URC

550EU to ZXT-300EU. User can enjoy the

fully wireless control in anywhere at home.

Glossary

Device or Node

Z-Wave enabled device that can be controlled by the Z-URC

Inclusion

Add a Z-Wave device to the network.

Exclusion

Delete a Z-Wave device from the network.

Remove

To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave 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.

Primary Controller

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.

Secondary Controller

A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary controllers are created from the Primary Controller and cannot include or delete modules to the network.

Inclusion Controller

A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Inclusion controllers are 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.

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.

Z-URCTM 550EU Operations

Welcome to the world of home automation, your Z-URC

550EU will be able to control all the Z-Wave products around your house. The following section will guide you through the set up processes for your Z-URC

550EU. Firstly there is the XpressZetupTM for beginner users that do not have a large amount of Z-Wave products. Following is the advanced set up that you will need to become familiar with as your ZWave network of products continues to expand.

Please note that all Z-Wave devices, light switches, dimmers, and shutter switches made from various vendors are compatible with your Z-URC

550EU as long as they carry the Z-Wave logo:

(Please carefully read through the following then store the manual for future reference.)

Before using the Z-URC

550EU, please install the batteries:

• 3xAAA batteries are required for operation.

• Remove the battery cover on the back of your Z-URC

550EU.

• Check the polarity of the batteries and the "+/-" marks inside the

battery compartment.

• Insert the batteries.

• Push the battery cover back in place.

L CAUTION (battery safety)

− Use new batteries of the recommended type and size only.

− Never mix used and new batteries together.

− To avoid chemical leaks, remove batteries from the Z-URC

550EU if you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time.

− Dispose of used batteries properly; do not burn or bury them.

Configurations

Please open the configuration compartment then you can see the ZURC

550EU setup keys (Figure 2).

Description of Function Keys

Keys Functions

The All-On and All-Off keys are used for turns on or off all Z-Wave devices in the device database.

The On and Off keys are used for the different ZWave groups and scenes control.

Press once to access secondary functions for the next button. Press and hold to activate shift lock for permanent use of shift functions. Press shift again to release shift lock.

Note: The shift key allows you access group's shift 1 through shift 8 giving you a total of 16 groups. The ADD and REMOVE keys are used during XpressZetup

process.

ADD key will perform two functions:

• Add a target device to Z-Wave network, also

known as INCLUSION;

• Add the device to the assigned GROUP.

REMOVE key will only remove the target device from its assigned group but will not exclude it from the network.

This SHIFT key is used for accessing group

numbers 9 to 16 while programming your devices.

These are your group numbers 1 through 8 and also

become group numbers 9 through 16 when combined with the SHIFT key.

This Configuration key is used during the ADVANCED SETUP process.

This Association key is used in conjunction with Add, Delete or Remove keys in order to assign association groups.

This Scene key is used in conjunction with Add, Delete or Remove keys in order to program scenes. This Device key is used in conjunction with Add, Delete keys in order to include or exclude devices to the network.

This Add key is used in the Advance Setup to:

• Add a device to the network (inclusion);

• Add a device to a group;

• Add a device to an association group;

• Add a device to a scene.

This Delete key is used in the Advance Setup to:

• Delete a device from the network (exclusion);

• Delete a group;

• Delete an association group;

• Delete a scene.

This Remove key is used in the Advance Setup to:

• Remove a device from a group;

• Remove a device from an association group;

• Remove a device from a scene.

Group Control

The Z-URC

550EU enables you to control single or multiple ZWave devices with the press of a button. For example, you can group all your bedroom lights together so that all of them will turn on with the press of a button.

You can control up to 16 groups (Group On/Off) with your Z-URC

550EU. Each Group supports up to 32 Z-Wave devices or End-point (EP) and supports up to 232 Z-Wave devices in a network.

Remark: There are total 16 groups of on/off keys which are shared by Scene and Group, for example, if you used 6 groups as Group, there are 10 groups on/off keys left for Scene, and vise versa.

By Advance Setup Process

(For advanced users to get the full flexibility offered by the Z-URCTM 550EU)

The Z-URC

550EU remote is able to be set up with different concepts such as Group, Scene, Association Group and Network. These concepts are all setup on the underside of your Z-URC

550EU and operated with the corresponding number on the topside of the remote.

Group Control Keys

All On/Off Keys

Scene Control

Z-Wave Scenes are used for setting up multiple devices in the same way as a group but in addition to groups, scenes also control dimmer lights that you can set to different levels depending on the situation. For example you can have the scene set to low brightness for watching a movie or going to bed or alternatively set the lights brighter when reading or working. After the scene has been programmed it will work with the corresponding ON OFF key on the top side of the remote.

You can control up to 16 scenes (Scene On/Off) with your Z-URC

550EU. Each Scene supports up to 32 Z-Wave devices or End-point (EP) and supports up to 232 Z-Wave devices in a network.

Remark: There are total 16 groups of on/off keys which are shared by Scene and Group, for example, if you used 6 groups as Group, there are 10 groups on/off keys left for Scene, and vise versa.
