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.

Product Description

Transform any home into a smart home with the GE 40 Amp Z-Wave Direct-Wire Indoor/Outdoor Smart Switch. When added to a Z-Wave network, the heavy duty switch enables wireless control of on/off functions for large load, hard-wired applications such as waters heaters, landscape lighting, spas, pool pumps and heaters. The Smart Switch can be used indoors or outdoors and features an easy access wire connection block, front mounted LED lights indicating power and on/off status, and an override switch to turn connected devices on or off manually. The Smart Switch is housed in a lockable, tamper-resistant case to ensure settings and wiring are secure. The rugged, weather-resistant design will keep out dirt and debris while being suitable for use in extreme weather conditions. The GE Z-Wave Direct-Wire Outdoor Smart Switch is also equipped with state-of-the-art energy monitoring capability, allowing you to monitor watts and kilowatt hours, helping you keep your energy costs to a minimum. Take control of your home lighting and large load devices with GE Z-Wave Smart Lighting Controls!

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.

1.Place the device into ON mode (upper position of Operating Mode Switch)2.Press and hold the programming button.3.While holding programming button, place device into OFF mode (middle position of Operating Mode Switch).4.While holding programming button, place device back into ON mode (upper position of Operating Mode Switch).5.After three (3) seconds, release programming button.Green LED will flash 3 times when completed successfully.Note: This should only be used in the event your networks primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

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

1.Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave certified controller to add a device to the Z-Wave network.2.Once the controller is ready to add your device, press and release the programming button to add it to the network.If prompted by the controller to enter the S2 security code, refer to the QR code/security number on the back of the box, or the QR code label on the product.3.Once your controller has confirmed that the device has been added, refresh the Z-Wave network to optimize performance.

Exclusion

1.Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave certified controller to remove a device from the Z-Wave network.2.Once the controller is ready to remove your device press and release the programming button to remove it from the network.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. 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.

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values too.

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

• Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network.
  Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.

• Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network.
  Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.

• Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
  a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.

• Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.

• Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.

• Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
  a controlled device.

• Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
  device to announces that is able to communicate.

• Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
  Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
