NOTE: This product can be operated in one Z-Wave network with Z-Wave certified devices from other
manufacturers and/or other applications. The different listening nodes within the network may act as
repeaters regardless of vendor.
For best results, please read and perform all the remaining instructions before using the controller. Keep
this manual for future reference.
Z-WAVE TERMINOLOGY
Primary Controller: This is the main device used to set up and control your Z-Wave network. There can
only be one primary controller and it must be used to add or delete devices. A primary controller can be a
portable device like a hand-held remote, a static controller (permanently installed & never moved), a
Z-Wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave enabled Ethernet router/bridge/gateway.

Secondary Controller: The Z-Wave network supports multiple controllers so the residents can use
additional Z-Wave remotes throughout the home. A secondary controller can not be used to add or delete
devices.
Slave: Devices within the Z-Wave network are either controllers or slaves. Most AC powered slaves also
function as repeaters in the network, and when required, relay the command signals to the destination
device. Battery powered devices like motion detectors are typically asleep and do not function as
repeaters.
Home Control Network: Your controllers and every Z-Wave device you have added with the primary
controller are linked together into a wireless network. Each device in your network has a unique address
assigned to it and cannot be activated by your neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.
Light/Node/Device: Node is the technical term used to describe a Z-Wave device in your home control
network. Please note that the terms “Node”, “Device” and “Light” all refer to an individual Z-Wave enabled
device and are interchangeable within the context of these instructions.
Group: Groups can also be thought of as an area or zone. Multiple Z-Wave devices can be turned ON or
OFF with a single command when they are placed into a Group. One example would be grouping your
porch light, exterior garage lights and patio lights together so that they could all be turned ON if you hear a
strange sound in the middle of the night.
Scene: Scenes are normally activity based lighting schemes. A scene lets you establish preset
brightness levels for multiple Z-Wave controlled lights and then control them with one command. This is
ideal for mood or task lighting. Scene 1 could be the family room lights set to dim for watching TV. Scene 2
could have the same lights set to a different brightness level for other activities like reading or entertaining.
Include / Exclude: Include and exclude are the formal terms used to describe adding, removing or
deleting devices to or from the control network or groups and scenes.
Replicate: This is the Z-Wave term for copying or transferring the Z-Wave network data to a new controller .
This process is also used to update secondary controllers after changes have be en made to the control
network with the primary controller.
BATTERIES
Two CR2032 batteries are pre-installed in the unit. Be sure to remove the insulating tabs before trying to
program and use the device.
Battery Use and Safety
- Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
- Replace both batteries at the same time! Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries.
- Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
- Replace fully discharged batteries immediately

To Install Batteries:
1. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the small slot at the bottom of the faceplate and twist gently to
remove the faceplate from the device.
2. Remove the small screw from the battery retainer door. Pull out on the top of the door (it is
hinged at the bottom).
3. Slide the batteries out of the holder
4. Install new batteries in the correct orientation based on the “+” & “-“ polarity marking s
5. Hold the batteries in place (pushing them toward the center of the unit) and close th e ba ttery door
making sure that the ends of the retainer door fit over the batteries. Please note that the battery
retainer door hinges at the bottom and can lock in the open position. You may need to pull or lift
it gently to close it.
6. Reinstall the retainer screw and faceplate

Battery Life: This device is just like any universal A/V remote control; the more you use it, the shorte r the
battery life. Under normal operating conditions, the batteries should last for approximately one year. LED
indicators behind the Group/Scene control buttons will blink when one of the buttons is pressed. The
brightness of the blinking LED will diminish as the batteries are depleted. A very dim LED will provide a
visual indication that the batteries need to be replaced. Network, Group & Scene programming will be
retained while changing batteries. Please note: Using this device to control Groups and Scenes
containing large numbers of Z-Wave devices will be more demanding on the batteries than s maller Groups
and Scenes, resulting in shorter battery life.
! WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
RISK OF ELECTR ICAL SHOCK
RISK OF BURNS
Controlling Appliances:
Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control applian ces. Oper ation 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 automatic power on control.
