Quickstart
This is a ****
Remote Control
for
U.S. / Canada / Mexico.
To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.
To add this device to your network execute the following action:
When prompted by your primary controller (gateway), click once on the L
button.
Please refer to the
Manufacturers
Manual for more information.
Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in
this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law.
The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any
loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this
manual or any other material.
Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal
instructions.
Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.
What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart
Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two-
way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other
nodes
( meshed network ) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of
the
transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together
with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are
suited for the
same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other
devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to
maintain
backward compatibility.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc.

Product Description
The ZRC-90 Scene Master is a Z-Wave Central Scene Controller. When one of the buttons on the ZRC-90 is pushed, your Z-Wave central controller will receive a signal which it can use to trigger unlimited control possibilities.With 8 buttons, each supporting a long-press capability, you can control 16 different actions in your central controller.The ZRC-90 is a great solution for triggering events more quickly than taking out your smart-phone and running a home control app.The Scene Master is ideal for kids, elderlies and guests who may not have full access to your smart homes mobile application and hence may not have the rights to switch on various lighting, heating, air conditioning and other home appliance.With a convenient snap-in wall mount, the ZRC-90 can also be removed to keep it handy while you go about your home for the ultimate in simple convenience.
Prepare for Installation / Reset
Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory
default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do
this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every
Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use
the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded
properly
from this network.
Reset to factory default
This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave
controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
Press and keep holding R button not less than 10 seconds.Release R button then triple click on R button within 2 seconds.
Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-
specific
installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the
assembly of
the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against
re-switching.
Inclusion/Exclusion
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The
device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the
devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called
Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network.
This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and
Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.
Inclusion
When prompted by your primary controller (gateway), click once on the L button.
Exclusion
When prompted by your primary controller (gateway), click once on the L button.
Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the
time
to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order
to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the
network.
This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and
store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a
controller,
communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is
significantly
decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup
state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then
empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the
desired
wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included
by
a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary
configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery
life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please
perform
the following action:
Enter to the Listening mode (Wake up) by click once on W button.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
Association – one device controls an other device
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one
device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a
different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will
receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are
always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’
Command.
Association Groups:

Special Operations as Z-Wave Controller
As long as this device is not included into a Z-Wave network of a different
controller
it is able to manage its own Z-Wave network as primary controller. As a
primary controller
the device can include and exclude other devices in its own network, manage
associations,
and reorganize the network in case of problems. The following controller
functions
are supported:
Inclusion of other devices
Communication between two Z-Wave devices only works if both belong to the same
wireless network. Joining a network is called inclusion and is initiated by a
controller.
The controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Once in this
inclusion mode
the other device needs to confirm the inclusion – typically by pressing a
button.
If current primary controller in your network is in special SIS mode this and
any other secondary controller can also include and exclude devices.
To become
primary a contoller have to be resetted and then include a device.
Press L+R buttons simultaneously until LED light up to add the device into ZRC-90 Z-Wave network.
Exclusion of other devices
The primary controller can exclude devices from the Z-Wave network. During
exclusion
the relationship between the device and the network of this controller is
terminated.
No communication between the device and other devices still in the network can
happen
after a successful exclusion. The controller needs to be turned into the
exclusion mode.
Once in this exclusion mode the other device needs to confirm the exclusion –
typically
by pressing a button.
Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned
back
into factory default status. This process can also exclude devices from it’s
previous
network.
Click once on the R button to remove the device from ZRC-90 Z-Wave network.
