Operating Instructions
Introduction
The ZRC-100 (Figure 1) is a portable Z-Wave remote controller with multi-channel support; also it is a Z-Wave Enabled Security Controller. It can control the secured door locks when it is in the security network. Also, it can be configured as a primary or secondary controller within a Z-Wave home automation network. It works with almost every Z­Wave enabled devices, binary switches, dimmers, thermostats, secured door locks, binary or multi-level sensors. Users can control their Z­Wave enabled devices individually or through “Scene” control. Scene is a collection of Z-Wave devices configured to a user-preferred settings, levels, modes or operating conditions. The ZRC-100 also equipped with a backlit LCD screen and an intelligent Self Navigated Button (SNB) system. Users can setup and operate their Z-Wave devices through the LCD and the SNB system using their ZRC-100, and enjoy a networked, wireless home automation system anywhere at home.

Inclusion
Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion
Delete a Z-Wave device from the network.
Remove
To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network.
Z-Wave Network
A collection of Z-Wave devices controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control the system.
Primary Controller
The first controller used to set up your devices and network. 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.
Secondary Controller
A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot include or delete modules to the network.
Inclusion Controller
A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Inclusion controller is created from the Primary Controller in a SIS enabled Z-Wave network. Inclusion Controller has the ability to add and remove devices from the network.
Scene
A collection of Z-Wave devices configured to turn to a specific level, setting, mode, or perform an operation. Scenes are usually activated by a controller, timed event, or specific conditions.

Re-scan (Rediscover) Devices from network
In most cases, Z-Wave gateway is the primary controller (control center), all Z-Wave devices will be added / (inclusion) by the Z-Wave gateway. Normally, it is need to click the PROG button of the Z-Wave device to add into the network and one by one. The gateway will create a control page / section to Z-Wave devices. User can control / monitor Z-Wave devices under the control page.
ZRC-100 can discover all existing Z-Wave devices from the network and no need to click the PROG button one by one
, discovered devices will be re-assigned to their default categories (Devices, Comforts and Sensors), and names will be re-assigned with default naming in ascending order which is implemented by the function of “Re-scan Devices”.
To implement this function, your ZRC-100 is needed to follow below steps:
1) Assume all Z-Wave devices have been added by gateway.
2) ZRC-100 should act as a secondary controller (receive all

WIRELESS INFORMATION
Wireless range:
This device has an open air line of sight transmission distance of 100 feet which complies with the Z-Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on the amount of objects in between Z-Wave devices such as walls and furniture. Every Z-Wave device set up in your house will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot.
Radio frequency limitations:
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can
reduce the maximum range of 65 feet by up to 25 to 30%.
2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then
concrete, brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on signal strength.
3. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range as
they are housed in metal junction boxes which could reduce the range by up to 25 to 30%.
MAINTENANCE
1 Do not expose your remote to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high
temperatures or mechanical shocks.
2 Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to
leak.
3 Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your remote. 4 Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. 5 Do not disassemble your remote controller, it contains no user-
serviceable parts.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Z-Wave Frequently Asked Questions
Q Why wont my remote work with the Z-Wave devices I
purchased from another country?
A Due to different countries regulations Z-Wave products from
different regions are set to different frequencies. Before purchasing new devices make sure you have checked that the device is compatible in your region.
Q Do I need an electrician to install Z-Wave products in my
house?
A Installation can be simple. In some cases all you need to do is
attach the Z-Wave plug in module into the wall socket. For more advanced in-wall modules you may need this done by a qualified technician.
Page 52
52
Q What can the Remotec ZRC-100 do for me? A A single Z-Wave network can include 232 nodes. If necessary,
more than one network can be bridged to extend the number of nodes further, although this is normally not needed in a residential environment.
The total number of controllable End-point (EP) / device / sensor is 128 items which is listed on the “Device” and “Sensor” page. ZRC-100 also supports 6 thermostats which are listed on the “Comfort” page. You can control up to 12 scenes (Scene On/Off) with your ZRC-100. Each Scene supports up to 32 Z-Wave devices or End-point (EP).
It is able to control the Z-Wave lighting devices (Dimmer or
Switch) with multi-channel, window shades, thermostats, Z-Wave to AC IR extender and door lock. Also, it is support Multi-level Sensor and that can show the current room temperature on the screen.
Q If my Z-Wave devices had already added into my Z-Wave
gateway (primary controller) network, what should I do for my ZRC-100? How to copy my scenes settings to my ZRC-100?
A Your ZRC-100 can act as a secondary controller
with network information about other devices and scenes setting acquired from your gateway (primary controller).
Please refer to user manual with below steps:
i) ZRC-100 should enter the Learning Mode
[step of B11.1]
(Replicating All Network and Device Information from a Primary Controller to your ZRC-100), for details please refer to ZRC-100 user manual.
ii) Gateway should enter the Inclusion Mode
to add the
ZRC-100 into the network and replicating all network and device information from a primary controller to your ZRC-100, please refer to gateway user manual.
iii) Now, ZRC-100 will act as a secondary controller. All scenes
and device node information will transfer from gateway to ZRC-100, you can On/Off the scene through ZRC-100 [step of A3.1].
iv) Your ZRC-100 will acquire scene configuration and node
information only. That means you have scene copied from gateway but you need to include individual Z-Wave device by ZRC-100 if you want to use ZRC-100 to control them individually.
Page 53
53
Q Can I include all Z-Wave devices from the network by ZRC-
100 and no need to click the PROG button for each device?
A Yes! ZRC-100 provides a useful function which is “Re-scan
Devices” that allows rediscovering all Z-Wave devices from the network.
Please refer to user manual with below steps:
i) Assume all Z-Wave devices have been added by gateway. ii) ZRC-100 should act as a secondary controller
[step of B11.1].
iii) Execute the “Re-scan Devices” function [step of C3].
ZRC-100 will rediscover Z-Wave devices from the network,
discovered devices will be re-assigned to their default categories (Devices, Comforts and Sensors), and names will be re-assigned with default naming in ascending order.
- This action may take up to 0.5-1 hour depends on how many devices are in your network, and it will wipe out all previously stored device names!
- Please make sure batteries are full before proceed!
iv) Now, all Z-Wave devices will appear on the Device, Comfort
and Sensor categories. You can rename your device individually if needed.
Q Can I use 2 or more ZRC-100 controllers in my house at one
