HOW TO SET UP LIGHTING

OPERATING BEHAVIOR FOR Z-WAVE / LIGHTING FUNCTIONS

It’s highly recommended you read the Glossary of Terms and this section before reading any other lighting-related section. Doing so will thoroughly familiarize you with how the REVOLUTION Remote Control communicates statuses of the actions you take while using it.

Success: Upon a successful operation, the LCD screen displays SUCCESS for 3 seconds, unless otherwise speciﬁed.

Fail: Upon an unsuccessful operation, the LCD screen displays FAIL for 3 seconds, unless otherwise speciﬁed.

Scenes:

Pressing and holding a s

scene

button causes associated nodes within that scene

to dim up/down.

Each scene starts with an LCD screen option to dim up using a toggle function.s

When you press and release a s

scene

button, all devices associated with that scene will turn

on/off, starting with the on function.

For any scene, whether the last time you edited it was to turn a node on/off or dim ones

up/down, upon entering it again, scene editing on the LCD screen starts with the option to toggle your existing settings in the opposite direction.

Dim Up/Dim Down: When executing a dim up or dim down command, for as long as the button is held down, the LCD screen will display “Dimming Up” for dim up commands and “Dimming Down” for dim down commands.

On/Off: When executing commands that tell a node or scene to turn on, the LCD displays ON. When executing commands that tell a node or scene to turn off, the LCD displays OFF.

Transfer: Any time the REVOLUTION Remote Control is in the process of transferring data to another controller or receiving data from another controller, the green LED of the

key shift

button blinks

rapidly. To exit this function prior to completion, press the

button.

PROGRAMMING TIME AND DAY

To set the time and date:

Press and hold the 1.

key shift

button for 3 seconds without ‘MONSTER’ highlighted. (If you have not previously used the REVOLUTION Remote Control Setup Wizard, the on-remote screen will display the message, “Use Web Setup or Press OK to Use Remote Setup”).

Press the physical 2.

button and a menu of Setup-related options appears.

Use the physical 3. or button to highlight Advanced Setup (a fourth menu choice not displayed among the ﬁrst three).

Press the 4.

button and a new submenu appears.

Use the 5. or button to highlight Time/Day (a ﬁfth menu choice not displayed among the ﬁrst three).

The time, as currently set on the remote, displays with the Day of Week element highlighted6. by default (i.e., the time format has the following elements: day, hour, minute, AM/PM). Press the

button to cycle through the choices for the highlighted element.

Use the 7. or buttons to navigate from one element to a neighboring one. The button moves your highlight to the left. The button moves it to the right.

Once you have each of the time elements set as desired, press the 8. button. The remote screen will display “SUCCESS” for 3 seconds to acknowledge your new Time/Day setting. Afterwards, the previous menu appears with Time/Day as the highlighted item.

To view the remote’s current Time/Date setting, press and hold the 9. key for 2.5 seconds. The Time/Date value appears for 3 seconds and then reverts to the previous screen.

Note: Any time you have the Time/Day menu choice highlighted and press the

button, the remote will display the default Time/Day setting of MON 12:00 AM. To see the actual Time/Day setting for the remote, press and hold the button for 3 seconds from any menu location.

Note: Users must manually change the Time/Day setting to adjust for Daylight Savings Time.

CREATING A Z-WAVE NETWORK OF MODULES

A network is the sum total of Z-Wave modules you have paired with your REVOLUTION remote where each module is referred to as a “node.” You can add and delete nodes from your network. You can also rename nodes as you see ﬁt.

While there are a variety of commands your remote can perform on the network of nodes as a whole (and they are detailed in later sections), for now, let’s focus on adding, deleting and renaming individual nodes.

Adding Individual Modules (Nodes) to Your Z-Wave Network

If you’re not already at the Home screen, press the 1.

button to move back one screen

at a time until ‘MONSTER’ is highlighted.

Use the 2.

or button to highlight Monster if it’s not already highlighted.

Press and hold the 3.

key shift

button for 3 seconds. The menu changes and Nodes is highlighted.

Press the

button.

The menu changes and Add is highlighted. Press the 4. button.

The remote’s LCD screen display reads, “Press pairing button on device.” Hold the remote 5. close to the module you wish to pair. Press the pairing button on the module.

When the remote receives a pairing signal from the module, the remote’s LCD screen ﬂashes the following messages in succession:

SUCCESS

Dimmer #X Included

Rename

The prompt to rename gives you a choice. Use the

button to respond YES or the button

to respond NO. If you press the

button, you will see the screen for renaming the node.

For details on how to navigate this screen, see

Renaming Individual Z-Wave Modules (Nodes)

on page __.

If the remote does not receive a pairing signal from the module within ___ seconds, the remote’s LCD screen ﬂashes, “FAIL.” When this happens, it may be necessary to reset the module before attempting to pair it again. To reset it, hold down its pairing button until its light turns red and ﬂashes repeatedly.

Deleting Individual Modules (Nodes) to Your Z-Wave Network

If you’re not already at the Home screen, press the 1.

button to move back one screen

at a time until ‘MONSTER’ is highlighted.

Press and hold the 2.

key shift

button for 3 seconds. The menu changes and Nodes is highlighted.

Press the

button.

The menu changes and Add is highlighted. Use the 3.

or button to highlight Delete

instead. Press the button.

The remote’s LCD screen display reads, “Press pairing button on device.” Hold the remote 4. close to the module you wish to unpair. Press the pairing button on the module.

When the remote receives an unpairing signal from the module, the remote’s LCD screen ﬂashes SUCCESS and your Z-Wave network shrinks by one module / node.

Renaming Individual Z-Wave Modules (Nodes)

If you’re not already at the Home screen, press the 1.

button to move back one screen

at a time until ‘MONSTER’ is highlighted.

Press and hold the 2.

key shift

button for 3 seconds. The menu changes and Nodes is highlighted.

Press the

button.

The menu changes and Add is highlighted. Use the 3. or button to highlight Rename instead. Press the

button.

The remote’s LCD screen lists the nodes it currently has stored. If you don’t see your node of 4. interest listed among the ﬁrst three, it may be further down the list. Either way, use the or buttons until you have it highlighted and press the button.

The name of the node to be renamed appears with the ﬁrst letter in its default name highlighted.5. Use the

button to cycle through the letters, numbers and symbols until the character

you want to use appears.

When the character you want appears, use the 6.

button to navigate to the next character to be edited and repeat Step #6. Once this character is edited as you wish, repeat this Step #7 until all the characters you want to change are edited. If you wish to navigate to the left, you can do so at any time using the

button.

Once you’ve completed renaming the node, press the 7. button to commit your changes. The remote’s LCD screen will brieﬂy ﬂash “SUCCESS” and the menu will return to Step 3 so you can rename another node if you like.

Understanding the All ON/OFF Feature

All ON/OFF conveniently enables you to toggle all modules (especially lighting nodes) in your home’s Z-Wave network from ON to OFF or OFF to ON. To toggle them, use the

off

button labeled “off.”

If the last time you pressed this button it turned modules OFF, then pressing it again will cause the remote’s LCD screen to quickly display, “All ON” and all module nodes found on the network will turn on.

If the last time you pressed this button it turned modules ON, then pressing it again will cause the remote’s LCD screen to quickly display, “All OFF” and all module nodes found on the network will turn off.
