Thank you for your purchase o f a GE Z-Wave® co ntrol devic e.
Z-Wave technology is designed to automate lighting/home
control and pr ovide easy remote operatio n of all y our Z-wa ve
enabled devices. The GE Z-Wave product family includes a
variety of devices to control lighting in your home. It is up to
you whether you want to control one room or your entire house
and whether you want to do it all now or start with one room and
add more over time.
This wall mount relay switch is one component of a Z-Wave®
control system and is designed to
work with all other Z-Wav e ena bl ed
devic e s i n a hom e control network. It
will also act as a wireless repeater to
insure that commands intended for
another device in the network are
received, thereby extending the
range of the wireless contro ller .
Z-Wave de vic es of other types and
brands can be added to the system
and will also act as rang e
extend ers if th ey support this
function of repeating the
signal received to other
nodes in the system.

This wall mount relayswitchis designed for use
only with permanently installed incandescent
lighting fixtures. The incandescent lighting controlled
by this switch must not ex ceed a total of 600 watts.
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit.

The Load-Sense feature on this Z-w ave product will turn the power
to the connected device ON when a change in the load is detected.
Z-wave connected devices should always be disconnected before
performing any service or maintenance of the devices.
Controlling Appliances:
Exercise extreme caution when us ing Z-Wave devices to control
appliances. Operation of the Z-Wa ve device may be in a different room
than the controlled appli ance, also an u nintentio nal activati on may occur
if the wrong button on the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devi ces m ay
automatically be pow ered o n due to tim ed ev ent pr ogram min g.
Depending upon the appliance, these unattended or unintentional
operations could possibly result in a hazardous condition. For these
reasons, we recommend the following:
1. Assign Z-Wave controlled appliances to device numbers 10 –
18 on the GE remote. The likelihood of unintentionally turning
on the appliance will be reduced significantly because the
“Shift” button w ill nee d to be pr esse d bef ore pre ssin g devic e
numbers 10-18.
2. Z-Wave devices controlling appliances should be removed
from “All” control setting. Instructions on how to do this are
included in the manual for your GE remote.
3. Do Not include Z-Wave devices in Groups or Scenes if they
control appliances.
4. Do Not use Z-Wave devices to control electric heaters or any
other appliances which may present a hazardous condition due
to unattended or unintentional or automatic power on control.
5. Double check programs for accuracy before using them.

Wireless Range
This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line of
sight transmission distances of 65 feet. Actual performance in a home
depends on the number of walls between the remote controller and the
destination device, the type of cons tructi on and th e number of Z-Wav e
enabled devices installed in the control network.
GE Z-Wave Network
Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and multiple devices
result in more possible transmission routes which helps eliminate “RF
dead-spots”.
Things to consider regarding RF range:
- Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.) between the
remote or a Z-Wave device and the destination device will reduce the
maximum range of approximately 25-30%.
- Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of
wooden studs and plasterboard (drywall). - Wall mounted Z-Wave devices
installed in metal junction boxes will suffer a significant loss of range
(approximately 20%) since the metal box blocks a large part of the RF
signal.

Please Note: Z-wave home control networks are de signed to w ork
properly alongside 802.11 w ireless com puter networ ks, Blueto oth an d
other 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz devices. Some baby cams, wireless video devices
and older cordless phones using the 900MHz frequency range may cause
interference and limit Z-Wave func tionality . Many 900MHz p roduc ts
have a switch to select channel “A” or “B”. You may find that one of these
channels will cause less interference than the other.
Installation
This Z-wave relay switch may be used in new installations or to replace
an existing wall switch. A wall plate is not included. You may be able to
re-use your existing wall plate if you are replacing a standard decorator
style switch. If this is a new installation or your existing wall plate can
not be used, we recommend the use of a mid-sized, decorator style wall
plate. These are available at most home centers or hardware stores.

You should now be able to use the r ocker to manually turn On/Off the
connected lighting.
Use your primary controller to include the relay switch in the home
control network after the switch is wired as shown in the above diagram,.
It can then be added to groups and/or lighting scenes and managed
remotely to control the On/Off status of the connected incandescent
lighting.
Air Gap Switch
During normal operation, there is a sm all amount of power passin g
through the switch to the load e ven when the Z -Wave swit ch is turned off.
The 45609 has an air gap switch on the lower left side (see diagram for
locati on) to com ple tel y d isco nne ct power to the load. Pull the air gap switch
OUT to disconnect the power while replacing light bulbs and push it all the
way back in for normal operation. The air gap switch must be not all the way
to control the lighting.
Key Features
- Remote On/O ff c ontro l via t he Z- Wav e controller/netw ork
- Manual On/Off control with the front panel rocker
- Load-Sensing turns the light O N if the switc h on the connecte d device is
used instead of the remote or t he front pane l rocker
- LED indicates switch locatio n in a dark room
BASIC OPERATION
The connected light can be turned ON i n three ways:
1. With a remote
2. Manually with the push button on the Z -Wave switc h
3. By the Load-Sensing feature. Normally, the Z-W ave unit controls
the ON/OFF state of the connected dev ice and power is eit her
turned
Page 11
ON or OFF at the Z-Wave switch (either m anually or by the remote).
If the switch on the connected lig ht is used, th e Z-Wave control
circuitry automatically senses that the lig ht is being turned ON and
activates the Z-Wave controlle d outlet, pro viding power to t he
connected device. This feature is disabled by default; See the
section on advanced operation for i nstructions on how to enable i t.
Remote Control
GE Z-wave remotes provide control of an Individual device, Groups of
devices and Scenes. Other brands of Z-Wave Certified remotes may not
offer as much flexibility in how you can set up your lighting control
network. Please refer to your remote control’s instructions for details on its
capabilities and instructions for adding and controlling devices.
Manual Control
The 45609 wall mount relay switc h allows the user to:
Turn ON/OFF the connected incandescent lighting.
- To turn the connected lighting ON : Tap the top of the rocker.
- To turn the connected lighting OFF: Tap the bottom of the rocker.
Program your Light Switch (Include or exclude the Z-Wave
switch from the Z-Wave home control network.)
- Refer to the instructions for your prim ary control ler to access
the network setup function a nd include or ex clude devices.
- When prompted by your primary controller, tap the top or bottom of
the rocker.
- The primary controller shou ld indicate tha t the action wa s
successful. If the controller indicates the action was unsuccessful,
please repeat the procedure.
- Once the wall mount relay switc h is part of the network, th e same ba si c
procedure is used to add the wall mount relay switch to groups & scenes or
Page 12
change advanced functions. Refer t o the primary controller’s instruc tions
for details.
Please Note: After a power failure, the 45609 wall mount relay
switch returns to its last used ON/OFF state.
LED Indicator
The LED will be lit when the connected lighting is OFF.
This is the factory default setting and can be changed if your
primary controller supports the node configuration function (see
Advanced Operation below)
ADVANCED OPERATION
The following Advanced Operation parameters require that you
have an advanced controller like the model 45601 Advanced remote.
Advanced remotes from other manufacturers may also be able to
change these settings; however, basic remotes do not have this
capability.
All On/All Off
Depending upon your primary controller, the 45609 wall mount relay
switch can be set to respond to ALL ON and AL L OF F commands in up
to four different ways. Some controllers may not be able to change
the response from its default setting. Please refer to your controller’s
instructions for information on whether or not it supports the
configuration function and if so, how to change this setting. The four
possible responses are:
1. It will respond to ALL ON and the A L L OF F command
(default).
2. It will not respond to ALL ON or ALL OFF comma nds.
3. It will respond to the ALL OFF command but will not respond
to the ALL ON command.
4. It will respond to the ALL ON command but will not respond
to the ALL OFF command.
Load Sensing
