Safety Instructions

Read these instructions carefully before installing and using the Z-Wave SmartPlug and keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.

  • Verify compatibility with your home network before installation.
  • Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of your home network regarding the addition of devices to your connected home system. An authorized, qualified installer may be required.

Salus accepts no responsibility for damage caused by not following these instructions.

Product Introduction

The Salus Z-Wave SmartPlug switch is a connected AC switch that is compatible with Z-Wave networks. This device provides ON/OFF control and measures the power/energy consumption of the attached AC appliance. Key features include:

  • Quick and easy installation
  • Support for Z-Wave connected home networks
  • Support for loads up to 15Amps (resistive).
  • SmartStart functionality using the QR code on the device.

SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.
Compliance Note: This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All AC powered nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. act as signal repeaters regardless of manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Will Not Pair
  • Radio interference is present at the desired location.
    1. Relocate the Z-Wave receiver,
    2. Select a different location for the switch, or
    3. Add a Z-Wave repeater to the system.
Loss of Connection After Pairing
  • Make sure Z-Wave receiver is operating
  • Radio environment may have changed:
    1. Reset to factory defaults to search for a better path.
    2. Apply radio interference solutions above.
No Appliance Power When Switch LED is On
  • Make sure the attached appliance switch is on.
  • Make sure the appliance can be controlled via the AC supply.

Note: Appliances with “soft” on/off buttons cannot be turned on by turning the AC supply ON.
