climate to maximize energy
conservation and comfort
Thank you for purchasing the Z-Wave®Enabled Thermostat. It was designed to give you many years
of reliable service and easy to use climate control when operated manually or by remote control in a
Z-Wave® network. Z-Wave® products by Wayne-Dalton allow you to manage and control your home by
remote control for convenience, comfort, safety and energy conservation. Your Z-Wave®Thermostat
is a great addition to your Z-Wave® network and can maximize energy conservation and comfort while
minimizing the effort required to maintain the appropriate temperature in your home whether you are
at home or away. In addition to thermostats, indoor and outdoor lighting, security systems, garage door
openers and window shades are just a few of the items you can easily control with additional Z-Wave®
certified products.
Your new Z-Wave
Z-Wave® certified controllers. Your Z-Wave®Enabled Thermostat will also work with Z-Wave®certified
controllers from other manufacturers and brands. Please consult the user manual and your controller
supplier for more details.
Home Control Basics
Z-Wave® certified products will allow you to easily control multiple devices in a home with the push of a
button in what is known as a “scene”. Turning on your home’s interior lights and activating the set-back
on your thermostat from your in-vehicle remote as you come home is an example of a scene. Dimming
the lights and automatically closing your curtains to watch TV with a single push of a button is another
example of a scene.
®Enabled Thermostat is compatible with the complete range of Wayne-Dalton
Visit www.wayne-dalton.com/access for more ideas on how to create, set-up and use scenes for safety,
security, comfort and convenience.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Read the enclosed instructions carefully before installing your new Z-Wave®Enabled Thermostat. Pay
close attention to all warnings and notes and carefully follow the installation steps in the order they are
presented to save time and minimize the risk of damaging the thermostat or the system it controls.
This manual should be retained for future reference.
Bind – Activates Z-Wave® module. Can be used to include Thermostat into a network, include
into a Scene or delete thermostat from Scene or network. Similar to program button found on
other products.
Calibration - Accuracy of thermostat (set at factory only, see Temperature Offset.)
Copy – See Replicate.
Delete – Erase transmitter or scene information from Controller. Also known as Exclude.
Device – Any item that is connected to a module (for example, lamps).

Z-Wave® remote controller. A module can be part of more than one scene.
Network – A collection of Z-Wave® modules controlled by primary and secondary controllers
operating on the same system. A network has its own unique identification code so that no one
else can control the system.
Node – Single Z-Wave® endpoint (controller or module) on a network .
Primary Controller – The first controller used to set up your modules and network.
NOTE: Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or delete modules from a network. It is
recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your
network.
Replicate – Copy from one controller to another.
Scene – A scene is a series of Z-Wave® modules programmed to turn to a specific level (on, off
or dim, normal mode, save mode, etc...) with the push of a button on a controller.
Schedule - A timer based event in the software that will activate a scene or turn on/off a zone at
a specified time of day, or at sunrise or sunset.
Secondary Controller – A controller containing network information about other modules within
the network, and is created FROM the primary controller. Secondary controllers cannot include or
delete modules to the network.
Set-back temperature – Energy saving target temperature setting associated to SAVE ENERGY
mode.

Z-Wave® Enabled Thermostat Basics
The Wayne-Dalton Z-Wave® Enabled Thermostat is compatible with most standard 24 Volt heating and cooling
systems including:
• 1 and 2 stage heat pump systems
Basics
• 1 or 2 stage normal heating systems
• 1 stage cooling systems
The Wayne-Dalton Z-Wave
• Support for all Z-Wave
• “Home” and “Away” programs via Z-Wave® or manual operation
• “Heat” and “Cool” modes via Z-Wave® or manual operation
• Temperature setting up or down via Z-Wave® or manual operation
• Easy Energy Savings buttons and Mode Switch
• Low Battery indicator
The Z-Wave
® Enabled Thermostat is a new arrival into the Wayne-Dalton Z-Wave® product line and contains
many new features that were not conceived when some Z-Wave® controllers were initially developed. The
Wayne-Dalton Z-Wave® Enabled Thermostat has a special compatibility mode and is designed to work with
your Z-Wave
® network regardless of the manufacturer of your controller or its date of manufacture. When
programming your thermostat to your controller, if it does not respond to the commands, reprogram it using
the alternate programming method.
® Enabled Thermostat also features:
® controllers
The Z-Wave
® Enabled Thermostat is designed to live by your schedule rather than forcing you to live by the
rigid schedule it was programmed with. Now you can program it to the “Away” Scene on a controller such as
the Wireless Gateway and when you leave the house you can activate that Scene from your car to set-back
your thermostat, then when you arrive home, you can activate the “Home” Scene to return the thermostat to
your normal setting.
To begin using Z-Wave
® Home Control technology it is helpful to understand that each Z-Wave® module,
including the Z-Wave® Enabled Thermostat, communicate with each other using a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. Large metal objects, house wiring, walls, furniture, refrigerators, microwaves and similar items
can interfere with communication between the modules to reduce the range or even prevent communication.
Placement of the Z-Wave
® Enabled Thermostat and other Z-Wave® modules is very important to obtain a
reliable network.
A Z-Wave® network is a collection of Z-Wave® modules in a mesh type of network. Each Z-Wave® module,
regardless of manufacturer, communicates with other modules within range to route and repeat the signals
from one device to the next, this creates a highly reliable and robust transmission throughout the home.
A Z-Wave® network can have only one primary controller. The primary controller establishes network security
to ensure your network will not operate a neighbors network and vice-versa. It is a good practice to label
and protect your primary controller since it is the only Z-Wave
modules from your network. It is easy to add secondary controllers as your network grows. Your Z-Wave
® controller that can add modules to or remove
®
Enabled Thermostat can belong to only one network, and therefore only one primary controller, but it can be
added to as many secondary controllers or Scenes as you wish for added convenience.

as the old one.
New Installations:
Follow the guidelines below and refer to the
diagram:
• Locate the thermostat on an inside wall,
about 5 ft. above the floor, and in a room that is
used often.
• Do not install it where there are unusual
heating conditions, such as in direct sunlight,
near a lamp, radio, television, radiator register,
or fireplace, near hot water pipes in a wall, near
a stove on the other side of a wall.
• Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions
such as on a wall separating an unheated room,
or in a draft from a stairwell, door or window.
• Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead
to corrosion that will shorten the life of the
thermostat.
• Do not locate where air circulation is poor,
such as in a corner or an alcove, or behind an
open door.
• Do not install the thermostat unit until all
construction work and painting has been
completed.

supply at the circuit breaker or
heater and air conditioner before
beginning work.
Installation
CAUTION: Read instructions
carefully before removing any
wiring from existing thermostat.
Wires must be labeled before
they are removed. THERE IS
NO STANDARD COLOR CODE.
When removing wires from their
terminals, ignore the color of the
wires since these may not comply
with any standard.
1. Switch electricity to the furnace and air
conditioner OFF by disconnecting the power
supply at the circuit breaker or at each unit.
2. Remove cover from the existing thermostat.
Most are snap-on types and simply pull off.
Some have locking screws on the side or front
and require the screws to be loosened before
removal.
3. Note the letters printed near the terminals.
ATTACH LABELS (enclosed) to each wire for
identification.
Note:It is very important to label all
wires before disconnecting them.
4. Label the wires one at a time. You must
label all the wires before you proceed. With all
wires labeled, remove them from the existing
thermostat. Do not let the wires fall back inside
the wall. Wrapping them around a pencil, as
shown, will keep them from falling.
5. Loosen all screws on the existing thermostat
and its mounting plate and remove it from the
