TRF-ZW1 EXTENDER

Congratulations!

Thank you for purchasing URC’s TRF-ZW1 Z-Wave Extender for the Total
Control system. The Z-Wave Extender receives commands from a Total
Control system and sends those commands over the Z-Wave network to
third-party products such as door locks, lights etc. Some compatible
third-party products are capable of sending metadata back to a Total
Control user interface when using URC’s two-way modules.

Features and Benefits

●

Control Z-Wave products with your Total Control system

Your Total Control system receives commands, converts them to

Z-Wave signals and then transmits the signals to your products. Also,

while at home or away, control your Z-Wave products using URC’s
mobile apps from your mobile devices.

● Monitor compatible Z-Wave products
While using applicable URC two-way modules, monitor Z-Wave

products with metadata feedback on a Total Control remote, keypad,
or mobile device.

● Pairing just got easier

The included batteries allow for roaming and easier pairing of
hard-to-reach Z-Wave products installed throughout the home.

● Remote Device Management & Configuration
Access the TRF-ZW1’s user interface via its online site whether you

are at home or away. Register a free account for basic control and

Z-Wave configurations from home, or subscribe to a yearly account

to access the TRF-ZW1 from anywhere else.
