Schneider Electric SQR50101BKZ Z-Wave Plus Auxiliary Switch

Features

Wireless Z-Wave technology creates a mesh network for command and control interoperability with other Z-Wave compliant controllers and devices.
Work with other Z-Wave switch or dimmer devices for 3-way (multi-location) control, provide manual and remote control.
The 3-way control can be achieved through below 2 methods.
- Association group control or
- Central scene control
Configurable child lockout feature which disables the manual control.

NOTE:

This auxiliary switch is only a wireless controller, it cannot be used by itself for single-pole control.

Notice

Wireless Range Conditions

The wireless range is the effective distance of remote control and it will be impacted by the following conditions:

Each wall or obstacle (e.g., refrigerator, TV, etc.) between the remote or Z-Wave device and the destination device will reduce the wireless range.
Brick, tile, or concrete walls block more of the wireless signal than walls made of wooden studs and plasterboard (drywall).
The angle of direction between the remote or Z-Wave device and the destination device will also impact the wireless range; normally, placing the Z-Wave devices face-to-face will get the best wireless range.
Wall-mounted Z-Wave devices installed in metal junction boxes may suffer a significant loss of range since the metal box blocks a large part of the wireless signal.

Turn the power OFF at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring.
Wire the device according to the wiring diagram.
Check that all connections are tight and no bare wires exposed.
Install the device into the standard outlet box using the screws provided.

Operation

The auxiliary switch can only control other Z-Wave devices after it is added into a Z-Wave network.

Inclusion to a Z-Wave network:
NOTE: The device supports up to S2-authenticated inclusion method, based on the gateway’s feature. It is highly recommended to only select S2-authenticated or the highest inclusion method, and deselect other methods. This ensures the highest security level during Z-Wave service. During S2-authenticated inclusion, users may be asked to scan the QR code or enter a 5-digit pin code attached on the device.
SmartStart inclusion: The feature assumes the gateway has implemented SmartStart. Users could use the APP of the gateway or the gateway camera to scan the QR code on device or on device package before powering on the device, and then when the device is powered on, it shall be automatically added to the gateway.
Manual inclusion: When the gateway is in adding mode (please refer to the instruction of the Z-Wave gateway for the operations on gateway itself), quick click the upper paddle or lower paddle 3 times within 1.5 seconds.
2. Exclusion from a Z-Wave network:
When the gateway is in removing mode (please refer to the instruction of the Z-Wave gateway for the operations on gateway itself), quick click the upper paddle or lower paddle 3 times within 1.5 seconds.
Group control the nodes of association group 2: One short tap on upper paddle: turn on the grouped Z-Wave switch / dimmer devices One short tap on lower paddle: turn off the grouped Z-Wave switch / dimmer devices（change the wire between two devices be Z-Wave pictograph） (replace the Z-Wave switch drawing with a symbol, and remove the CR No.) NOTE: – Please refer to association setting for nodes group 2 setup. This requires a gateway with advanced features and assumes the device is included in a network.
Group control the nodes of association group 3:On/Off control:
One short tap on upper paddle: turn on the grouped Z-Wave dimmer devices One short tap on lower paddle: turn off the grouped Z-Wave dimmer devices（change the wire between two devices be Z-Wave pictograph） (replace the Z-Wave switch drawing with a dimmer symbol, and remove the CR No.)
Quick to full brightness:
Double taps on any paddle: turn on the lighting to full brightness connected to the grouped Z-Wave dimmers. （change the wire between two devices be Z-Wave pictograph） (replace the Z-Wave switch drawing with a symbol, and remove the CR No.)

Dimming control

Long press on upper paddle: dim up the lighting connected to the grouped dimmers
Long press on lower paddle: dim down the lighting connected to the grouped dimmers （change the wire between two devices be Z-Wave pictograph） (replace the Z-Wave switch drawing with a dimmer symbol, and remove the CR No.)

NOTE:

Please refer to association setting for nodes group 2 setup. This requires a gateway with advanced features and assumes the device is included in a network.
Suggest group dimmer devices in group 3 for 3-way dimming control, group 2 can only support on/off control
5. Scene Control
Quick click N (N=1~5) times on each paddle to trigger different scenes settled in the gateway.

NOTE:

The time interval between every click shall be less than 0.5s;
Please refer to central scene setting for scenes setup. This requires a gateway with advanced features and assumes the device is included in a network.

6. Reset to factory defaults:

Long press the reset button for >20 seconds till the blue LED blink 5 times within one second. SchneiSchneider Electric SQR50101BKZ Z-Wave Plus Auxiliary

NOTE:

Use this procedure only when the Z-Wave gateway is missing or otherwise inoperable.
Reset the device to factory default settings will set the device to not in Z-Wave network state, delete the association setting and restore the configuration setting to the default.

Advanced Setting

The advanced setting requires an advanced gateway. Basic gateway does not support this setting. Users can do the setting through the interface of the advanced gateway.
All configuration parameters can be restored to factory default settings by the gateway or by manual reset.
