Thank you for your purchase of a GE Z-Wave
lighting/home control and provide easy remote operation of all your Z-wave 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 module is one component of a Z-Wave
devices in a home 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 controller. Z-Wave devices
of other types and brands can be added to the system and will also act as range extenders if they support this
function of repeating the signal received to other nodes in the system.
The incandescent lighting plugged into the Z-Wave controlled outlet on this module must not exceed 400 watts. DO
NOT use with fluorescent lighting. Plugging a non-resistive load such as fluorescent lighting or a device with a
motor into the Z-Wave controlled outlet may result in damage to the Lamp Module and will void the warranty.
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a grounding type plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

RISK OF FIRE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RISK OF BURNS
The Load-Sense feature on this Z-Wave 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 unplugged before performing any service or
maintenance of the devices.
Controlling Appliances:
Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control appliances. Operation of the Z-Wave device may
be in a different room than the controlled appliance, also an unintentional activation may occur if the wrong button on
the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devices may automatically be powered on due to timed event programming.
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 will need to
be pressed before pressing device 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 auto matic power on control.
5. Double check programs for accuracy before using them.
NOT FOR USE WITH MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT
Z-Wave enabled devices should never be used to supply powe r to or control the On/Off status of medical
and/or life support equipment!
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 construction and the number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the control network. Most Z-Wave
enabled devices act 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 100 feet by 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.

Effects of Home Construction on Wireless Range Between Z-Wave Enabled Devices
Note: The distances shown in the table below are typical examples. Actual performance in your home will vary.
From the Remote (or repeating Z-Wave module) to destination device:
Wood Frame w/Drywall Brick, Tile or Concrete
Number of Walls
or Obstacles
* For Plug-in Modules or In-Wall Devices Installed in Plastic Junction Boxes
** Line of Sight / no obstructions
Please Note: Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work properly alongside 802.11 wireless computer
networks, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz or DECT devices. Some baby cams, wireless video devices and older
cordless phones using the 900MHz frequency range may cause interference and limit Z-Wave functionality. Many
900MHz products have a switch to select channel “A” or “B”. You may find that one of these channels will cause less
interference than the other.

Key Features
• One Z-wave controlled AC outlet for standard incandescent lighting
o Remote ON/OFF and Brightness control via the Z-Wave controller
o Manual ON/OFF and Brightness control with the front panel pushbutton
o Load-Sensing turns the light ON if the switch on the connected light is used instead of the remote or
pushbutton on the Z-Wave module
• Monitors and report s energy values and Watts consumed by the connec ted device
• Space efficient design
o Does not block the lower outlet when plugged in to the upper outlet of a duplex wall receptacle.
(This assumes that the duplex receptacle is mounted with the ground pin down.)
o Plugs and cords for connected devices route to the side allowing close placement of furniture
• Grounded 3-wire power connection for safety
Energy Monitoring
This unit incorporates special circuitry to capture and report energy values and the Wattage consumed by the device
plugged into it.
• This energy related data includes Voltage (V), Current (A), Watts (W), Kilowatt hours (KWh) and Power
Factor (PF). V, A, W & PF are instant readings taken at the time of the request while KWh is an
accumulated value.
• This unit is capable of storing readings up to 10,000 KWh. It will automatically reset to zero and start over
when it reaches 10,000. It will also reset and start over if the power to it is turned off.
• The Z-Wave controller must poll (request) the information from the device.
• The energy data is transmitted using Z-Wave’s Meter Command Class v3. If the unit receives a request for
this data from a controller supporting the Meter CC v1, it will report KWh as its default scale.
• Meter Reset is supported so if desired, the unit can delete its previous meter readings an d s ta rt acc umu lating
new KWh data.
