NOTE: This module must be “included in the Network” only where it will be permanently installed. The proper operation of this node in the mesh network is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes. You cannot “test bench” confi gure this module.

WS15Z-1 WALL MOUNTED SWITCH

Linear’s family of Z-Wave certifi ed wireless lighting controls (switches, dimmers, outlets and plug-in modules) brings a new level of intelligent wireless capability to commercial and residential environments.

The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote home automation, security and other applications. Embedded in each device, the Z-Wave smart chip enables two-way RF communication among hundreds of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing products and services from multiple manufacturers to work seamlessly.

Linear Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability with security and health monitoring systems, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.

DANGER! SHOCK HAZARD. Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. It is recommended that a qualifi ed electrician perform this installation. Make sure the load controlled by the switch does not exceed 1800 watts. For indoor use only. Retain instructions for future use.

INSTALLATION

Wire this Switch in place of a current wall switch according to the diagram above. When used, WT00Z-1’s are required to be wired to the same line (or neutral) which is also wired to the master unit as well as the load being controlled, and not wired to any other neutral. If multiple neutrals are tied together in one box, separate the neutrals to preserve the integrity of the WS15Z-1 circuit. Caution! Do not wire unit “live” (with power on the circuit) and do not allow the yellow wire to contact line voltage, neutral or ground or you will damage the device. Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this module under the command of the Wireless Controller.

INCLUDING/EXCLUDING WS15Z-1 TO THE NETWORK

STEP 1. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network by adding it to a group (method of adding a node to the network). Refer to controller instructions.

STEP 2. The WS15Z-1 must be in its permanently installed location.

•To add a node: NWI: Tap the button once. This can be done upon power-up of the node to be included, or once the controller is prepared to add all nodes to the network. Classic inclusion: Tap the button twice

•To remove a node: Tap the button twice

STEP 3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was included” in the network.

NOTE: If you have trouble adding the WS15Z-1 to a group it may be that the Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must first “RESET UNIT” with your controller to remove it from the network.

Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it from a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group, it functions as a repeater (only). “RESET UNIT” removes it completely from the network.

BASIC OPERATION

(Local Control)

The switch paddle on the WS15Z-1 allows the user to:

•Turn the attached load on or off.

•Tapping top of switch turns the load attached ON.

•Tapping bottom of switch turns the load attached OFF.

•Pressing and holding switch does not effect the load attached to the WS15Z-1, but will allow dimming and brightening of Z-Wave dimmers if associated (see below for details)

LED Indication

The LED on the WS15Z-1 will turn ON when the load attached is OFF, to act as a night light. However, the LED can be user confi gured to turn ON, when the load attached is ON, if so desired.

Remote Control

The WS15Z-1 will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are

part of the Z-Wave system. Refer to your controller’s instructions as to whether your controller can transmit those commands.

Internal Circuit Protection

The WS15Z-1 internal circuitry is protected by an internal fuse. This internal fuse is factory serviceable only. Check your home circuit breakers before concluding that the product must be returned to manufacturer for repair at a nominal charge.
