Quick Reference Guide

The ZW-PRO is a Professional Network
Management Tool for use with Z-Wave
wireless networks. Attached to a
standard USB port of a laptop computer,
the ZW-PRO wirelessly communicates
with Z-Wave enabled devices during
the network “inclusion” setup process.

Used in conjunction with the Z-Wave

Manager conguration software, the
ZW-PRO simplies the Z-Wave network

setup, by allowing the installer to roam
the installation with a laptop as they
move between device locations.

FEATURES

The ZW-PRO incorporates many features that
enable it to assist with the setup of the RTI
Z-Wave wireless network.

• Enables “inclusion” of devices onto Z-Wave
wireless network.

• Plugs into a laptop USB port allowing the
installer to roam to each device during
Z-Wave network setup process.

• Designed to aid Z-Wave network setup for
devices such as door locks and security
devices with a narrow wireless range before
“inclusion”.

• No external power supply is required. Power is
derived directly from the USB port.

• Compact, rugged design.

• Available only to professional systems
integrators.

• One year parts and labor warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1) Connect ZW-PRO to a laptop:

• Plug the ZW-PRO into the USB connector of a
laptop computer.

NOTE: While connected to a computer the ZW­PRO is always listening for instructions and will
respond to commands sent through USB by the

conguration software.

2) Open Z-Wave conguration software

• Open the Z-Wave network conguration

software which takes control of the ZW-PRO.

3) Factory reset the ZW-PRO

IMPORTANT: If the ZW-PRO had been used to

congure a different Z-Wave network previously,

the devices and settings from that system need
to be cleared out or they will be added to the
current system being installed.

• Factory reset on the ZW-PRO: This must

be done through the conguration software

which takes control of the ZW-PRO while it
is connected to the computer. Please consult

the conguration software instructions to

perform a reset.

4) Add the ZW-PRO to Z-Wave Network

• This must be done through the conguration

software while the ZW-PRO is connected to

the computer. Please consult the conguration

software instructions to add the ZW-PRO to a
Z-Wave network (i.e. “Learn mode”, “Add as
Secondary Controller”, etc.).

5) Inclusion-Mode: Adding/Including

devices into the Z-Wave network

• Place the laptop with the ZW-PRO connected
within range of the device to be “included”
into the Z-Wave network.

• This must be done through the conguration

software while the ZW-PRO is connected to
the computer. Please consult the Z-Wave

Manager conguration software instructions

to perform an inclusion or removal of Z-Wave
devices. (Example functions: “Add”, “Include”,
“Pair”, “Remove”, “Include”, etc.).

IMPORTANT: The wireless communication
range of devices varies. Devices such as security
products and door locks typically have very

short wireless range prior to being congured

for security purposes. Please consult the
instructions of the device.
