NORTEK WS15Z-1 GoControl In Wall Three Way Switch Instruction Manual

NORTEK WS15Z-1 GoControl In Wall Three-Way Switch

• NOTE: This unit must be added to 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 concerning other nodes.
• You cannot “test bench” configure this unit, and then install it.

WS 1 SZ-1 WALL MOUNTED SWITCH

• The GoControl™ family of Z-Wave® certified wireless lighting products (smart LED fixtures, bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, plug-in modules, and thermostats) and security devices (alert sounder, motion sensor, and door/ window sensor) bring 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. This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave-certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery-operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase the reliability of the network.
  GoControl Z-Wave products are easy to install, are Z-Wave certified, and allow dealers to create an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability with security, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.

• DANGER! SHOCK HAZARD. Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is intended for installation under 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 qualified 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, WS15Z-1s are required to be wired to the same line {or neutral) which is also wired to 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 the unit “live” (with power on the circuit).

Adding to a network:

Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the command of the Wireless Controller.

1. With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the switch once for Network Wide Inclusion. Tap twice for Standard Inclusion.
2. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was added” to the network and the LED will stop blinking.
3. The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch. If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.

Removing from a network:

The WS15Z-1 can be removed from the network by the Controller/Gateway. Refer to the Controller operating instructions for details.

1. Set the Controller into Removal Mode and follow its instructions to delete the WS15Z-1 from the Controller.
2. Remove the switch by tapping the paddle 2 times.
3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was removed” 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 the top of a switch turns the load attached ON.
• Tapping the bottom of a switch turns the load attached OFF.

LED Indication

• To act as a night light, the LED on the WS15Z-1 will turn ON when the load attached is OFF. However, the LED can be user-configured to turn ON, when the load attached is ON, if so desired. See the “CONFIGURATION” section.

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.

ADVANCED OPERATION

All On/ All Off

• The WS15Z-1 supports the ALL ON/ ALL OFF commands. The WS15Z-1 can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands in four different ways.
• Refer to your Controller for information on how to set the WS15Z-1 to operate in the manner you desire. Some Controllers may be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL OFF response.
• The four different ways the WS1 SZ-1 can be set up to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands are.

1. Respond to the ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.
2. Responds to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.
3. Responds to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.
4. Respond to the ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.

CONFIGURATION

• The WS15Z-1 supports the Configuration command.
• Each unit can be configured to operate slightly differently than how it works when you first install it.
• Using the Configuration command you can configure the following.

Night Light

By default, the LED on the WS15Z-1 will turn OFF when the load attached is turned ON. To make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turned ON, set Parameter 3 to a value of 1.

Parameter| Length| Valid Values| Configuration Option
---|---|---|---
3| 1 Byte| 0| LED OFF when the load is on, and ON when the load is off (default- night lite mode)
1| LED ON when the load is on, and OFF when the load is off
2| LED is always on
3| LED is always off
4| LED blinks during RF transmissions from or to the device

Invert Switch

To change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch to ON, set Parameter 4 to a value of 1.

Resetting to Defaults

• Each configuration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting the default bit in the Configuration Set command.
• See your Controller’s instructions on how to do this (and if it supports it).
• All configuration commands will be reset to their default state when the WS15Z-1 is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using the Controller to reset the node.
