English: Installation Sheet
Description
The Advisor™One self-contained lifestyle management and security system detects situations and provides control and information
to home and small business owners (P/N AVO-1037).
This document provides instructions on installing and programming the Z-Wave module (P/N AVO-ZW) for use with the AdvisorOne
panel.
The AdvisorOne Z-Wave module enables control of Z-Wave devices that have been configured to the AdvisorOne system.
Controlling lights, thermostats, door locks and other appliances is possible from the AdvisorOne panel and from the auxiliary
Advisor TouchScreens. Some Z-Wave devices may also be controlled via Advisor Mobile or from Bluetooth® devices when the
system has been configured with the AdvisorOne Bluetooth module.
Preparation and Installation
Preparing to Install the Z-Wave Module
WARNING: Use caution when installing or removing the power supply to an outlet with a metal cover.
1. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to contact the central monitoring station before starting the installation.
2. If a power supply is present, remove the screw from the securement tab and unplug the power supply.
3. Remove the screw securing the panel chassis. Open the panel by pressing down on the tabs and carefully swing the panel
chassis open.
CAUTION: Use static electricity precautions when handling electronic components.

4. Disconnect the battery from the battery connector (C in Figure 2) by pressing down on the wire end of the battery clip.
5. To access the location of the Z-Wave module, remove the Communication Modules Cover by pulling outward on the tabs (D in
Figure 2) and then lifting upward when tabs release.
Installing the Z-Wave Module
1. Install the Z-Wave module (A in Figures 1 and 3) into the Z-Wave module location (with the bar code label side up). Carefully
align the header (B in Figures 1 and 3) with the pins on the circuit board. Press into place.
The Z-Wave module must be installed in the Z-Wave designated slot (marked ZWAVE in the plastic). DO NOT force the
module into place.
2. Reinstall the Communication Modules Cover by pressing the cover down until the tabs (D in Figure 2) snap into place.
The Communication Modules Cover must be secured for proper operation.
3. Plug the power supply into the outlet. Optionally, secure the power supply to the outlet with the supplied screw.
Connect the battery within 15 seconds of providing AC power to reduce the potential for a low battery indication.
4. Connect the battery to the battery connector on the panel (C in Figure 2).
The cable connector locks in place.
5 Close the panel, making sure all tabs are engaged. Replace the screw securing the panel chassis.
6. If the central monitoring station was notified, inform them this operation is complete.
Module Configuration and Programming
Module Configuration
The Z-Wave module will automatically configure to the AdvisorOne panel. For details regarding optional Z-Wave module
configuration settings, refer to the AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual (P/N 466-4405) for more information.
Note: The default configuration for the Z-Wave module will work for a majority of configurations. If the module doesn’t configure
automatically, see “Troubleshooting” on page 3.
Programming
The Z-Wave module can be programmed to support “known categories/preferred devices” which manage light, lock, and thermostat
control and other forms of automation. Refer to the AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual. To support this capability, ZWave devices must be added to the module.
Known category device is preferred
To Add Z-Wave Device(s)
Note: Only “known” category devices can be added. Unknown category devices will not install. Refer to the Z-Wave section of the
AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual for more information.
1. Press the Settings icon then press CONFIGURATION and enter the access code.
2. From the Configuration & Programming screen, press DEVICES.
3. From the Devices screen press Z-Wave devices and then press EDIT.
4. Press LEARN.
5. Select the Installation method:
• Select Direct Device Install if you are adding the Z-Wave device directly to the AdvisorOne panel. This is the typical
mode when the device is physically close to the panel.
• Select Inclusion Device Install if you are adding the device through an inclusion controller. Refer to the specific Z-Wave
device manual for more information. This is used when the devices are farther away from the panel and devices will be
learned in at one time. This mode is less typical.
6. Press CONTINUE to start learning. A countdown timer will be displayed. The panel is ready to add Z-Wave devices.
A. On the Z-Wave device to be installed, press the Include/Bind/Mate button on the Z-Wave device. Upon successful
detection of the device, the screen will navigate to the Z-Wave Details screen.
