from two locations.
Compatible with other Z-Wave enabled devices
Acts as a Z-Wave repeater to extend the range
DESCRIPTION
Z-Wave unifies all your home electronics into an integrated wireless network
and helps them talk to each other . Any Z-wave enabled item can be added
to the network, and making your home electronics fully compatible.
This ZW15S switch is a Z-Wave enabled device and is fully compatible with
any Z-Wave enabled network. Z-Wave enabled devices displaying the
Z-Wave logo can also be used with it regardless of the manufacturer. In a
Z-Wave network, each device is designed to act as a wireless repeater.
Repeaters will retransmit the RF signal from one device to another until the
intended device is reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its
intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead
spots.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes
and regulations. Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to
control appliances. Operation of the Z-Wave device may be in a different
-01-
ZW15S
room than the controlled appliance, also an unintentional activation may
occur if the wrong button on the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devices may
automatically be powered on due to timed event programming.Depending
3 - Way Switch Kit
upon the appliance, these unattended or unintentional operation could
possibly result in a hazardous condition.
Z-Wave enabled devices should never be used to supply power to, or
control the On/Off status of medical and/or life support equipment.
If you are unsure or uncomfortable about performing the installation,
please consult a qualified electrician.
INSTALLATION
This switch may be used in new installations or to replace an existing wall switch.
It may be used by itself for 2-way control(one switch & one load),with one ZW15S-K
Auxiliary Switch for 3-way control(two switches & one load) . When used by itself
for 2-way control, please make sure that the screw terminal for the traveler wire
is insulated(Do not remove the tape over the terminal if you are not using the
traveler connection).
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 3-WAY CIRCUITS
The term "3-way circuit" refers to a circuit with two switches and one load (light)
like you find at the top and bottom of a stairway. There are many ways to physically
wire a 3-way circuit and it is important to understand how the circuit you wish to
upgrade to Z-Wave control is wired. Below is a description of a typical 3-way circuit.
One of the ways to wire a two-switch/one-load circuit is to route the incoming power
through the first switch, then to the second switch and then to the load. Although very
common and by no means a standard, it is the easiest to convert to Z-Wave control.
With this type of circuit, Switch 1 is replaced by the Z-Wave auxiliary switch and
Switch 2 is replaced with the primary Z-Wave switch. The auxiliary switch does
not actually control the power; instead, it sends a momentary voltage signal
through the traveler wire to the primary switch which in turn, controls the power
to the load.
Typical 3-way circuit:
Please consult an electrician if you have trouble identifying the type of wiring
circuit you wish to convert or if you do not feel confident in your ability to
convert the circuit to Z-Wave control.

1.WARNING : To avoid fire,shock ,or death.Turn off power at circuit breaker
or fuse and test that power is off before wiring.
2. Remove wall plate, switch mounting screws.
3. Carefully remove the switch from the switch box.
4. Disconnect the wiring from the old switch.
5. Connect the Z-Wave switch as shown in the wiring diagram: Black lead to
hot wire, white lead to neutral wire, red lead to load wire,green lead to
ground wire.
6. Optional for 3-way control: Connect the traveler wire(Yellow) to the screw
terminal marked TRAVELER. The other end of this traveler wire connects to
the TRAVELER screw terminal on the ZW15S-K Auxiliary Switch. See the
following section for information about wiring the ZW15S-K Auxiliary Switch.
7. Check connections to be sure they are tight and no bare conductors
are exposed.
8. Insert the switch into the outlet box carefully.
9. Make sure the switch to the box using the supplied screws.
10. Attach the wall plate.
11. Restore power to the circuit breaker and test the system.
Optional for 3-Way Control:
1. The ZW15S-K requires the following 3 wiring connections:
a. The Traveler wire. This is used to send voltage signals to the primary Z-Wave
