INTRODUCTION

This Monoprice Z-Wave Plus® In-Wall On/Off Switch is a perfect replacement for a traditional wall switch, allowing for manual and remote control of incandescent, LED, and fluorescent lighting, as well as other electrical loads. It is fully compatible with other Z-Wave® wireless devices, allowing for programmable functions in custom scenes. It can be used with most Z-Wave compliant controllers. As part of any Z-Wave network, each device can be remotely controlled by commands sent from Z-Wave controllers in real time. Each AC powered device acts as wireless repeater, transmitting the RF signal from one to device to another, thereby extending the wireless range of the mesh network.

FEATURES

Perfect replacement for a regular wall switch
Compatible with 120 VAC, 15 amp electrical circuits
Wireless Z-Wave® technology creates a mesh network for command and control interoperability with other Z-Wave compliant controllers and devices
Manual and remote on/off control of any connected lighting or other electrical load
Can be used for single pole or 3-way (multi-location) operation
A blue LED illuminates when the load is off

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

WIRING DIAGRAMS Single Switch

3-Way Switch

WARNING!!! Prior to physical installation, use your circuit breaker or fuse box to remove electric power from the room, then test the circuit to ensure that electric power is not present.

Remove the old switch and faceplate from the electric box, then disconnect the wire leads.
Connect the wire leads to the smart switch, as shown in either the Single Switch or 3-Way Switch wiring diagrams in the WIRING DIAGRAMS section above.
Check each wiring connection to ensure that it is secure and that there are no stray wire strands.
Insert the switch into the electric box, then secure the switch to the box using two screws.
Use the included screws to attach the faceplate to the switch.
Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

OPERATION

The connected light/device can be turned on in two ways:

Using a Z-Wave® controller or remote
Manually using the paddle on the switch

Remote Operation Z-Wave remotes provide control of an individual device, groups of devices, and scenes. Some brands of Z-Wave certified remotes may not offer as much flexibility in how you can set up your lighting control network. Please refer to your controller’s instructions for details on its capabilities and instructions for adding and controlling devices.
Manual Operation

Momentarily press the top of the paddle to turn on the connected device.
Momentarily press the bottom of the paddle to turn off the connected device.
Press and hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 1.5 seconds to turn on the nodes of association group 3.
Press and hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 1.5 seconds to turn off the nodes of association group 3.
With the Z-Wave® controller in “adding” mode, press and hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 3 seconds. The controller will verify the add ition and will assign a node ID to the switch.
With the Z-Wave controller in “removing” mode, press and hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 3 seconds. The controller will verify the removal, then will remove the switch from the network. When removed from the network, the LED will blink whenever the switch is turned on.
If the primary controller is missing or inoperable, you can reset the switch to its factory default settings by pressing and holding the top or bottom paddle for 10 seconds.

Note: After a power failure, the switch will be turned off.

ADVANCED OPERATION

Configuration The following Advance d Operation parameters require that you have an advance d controller. Basic remotes do not have this capability.

Parameter No.	Size	Description	Valid Value	Default Value
1	1 Byte	Synchronization of load power and LED indicator	0:Power on, Led off 1:Power on,Led on	Default=0

Association

Grouping ID	Max number of Nodes	Description
1	1	Lifeline: Send device reset locally notification
2	5	Status Report: Send basic report
3	5	AssGroupSet: Send Basic set command

ALL-ON AND ALL-OFF COMMANDS

Depending upon your primary controller, the Monoprice Z -Wave® Switch can be set to respond to All-On and All-Off commands in one of four different ways. Some controllers may not be able to change the response from its default setting. Please refer to your controller’s instructions for information on whether or not it supports the configuration function and if so, how to change the setting.

It will respond to All-On and All-Off commands (default).
It will not respond to All-On or All-Off commands.
It will respond to All-Off commands, but will not respond All-On commands.
It will respond to All-On commands, but will not respond All-Off commands.

WIRELESS RANGE

This device complies with the Z -Wave® standard of open lin-e-of sight transmission distances of up to 131 feet. Actual performance in a home dep ends on the number of walls between the remote controller and the destination device, the type of construction, and the number of Z -Wave enabled devices installed in the contro l network. AC powered Z-Wave enabled devices act as a signal repeater and multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes , which helps eliminate RF “dead spots.” The wireless RF range is affected in the following ways:

Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.) between the remote or Z -Wave device and the destination device will reduce the maximum range by approximately 25 -30%.
Brick, tile, or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of wooden studs and plasterboard (drywall).
Wall mounted Z -Wave devices installed in metal junction boxes may suffer a significant loss of range (approximately 20%) , since the metal box blocks a larger part of the RF signal.

The following table shows some basic calculations for RF range.

From the Remote (or repeating Z-Wave module) to destination device:
Type of Construction		Wood Frame with Drywall		Brick, Tile or Concrete
Type of Construction		Plastic J-Boxes*	Metal J-Boxes	Plastic J-Boxes*	Metal J-Boxes
Number of Walls or Obstacles	0**	131’	105’	131’	100’
	1	90’	76’	80’	65’
	2	66’	52’	48’	40’
	3	45’	35’	28’	20’

Note: The distances shown in the table above are typical examples. Actual perf ormance in your home will vary.
