Z-Wave Setup Guide

Configuring a Z-Wave controller

With the addition of the optional Control4
and Z-Wave USB Dongle (C4-ZDUSB), you can add and control supported Z-
Wave devices to your Control4 system. The Control4 Z-Wave Module is a
security-enabled Z-Wave Plus product. You must connect the Z-Wave USB
Dongle to an EA or CA controller. If you are running Control4 OS 2.8 or 2.9, the
controller running Director in your project must be an EA controller. (You can
connect the dongle to a secondary EA controller if your primary controller is an
EA controller.) This limitation is removed in OS 2.10.
The EA and CA series of controllers (CA-1, EA-1, EA-3, and EA-5) require a
Z-Wave USB Dongle and a Z-Wave Module for the appropriate geographical
region inserted into the dongle. Details on the installation of the Z-Wave Module
and the Z-Wave USB Dongle can be found in the Z-Wave Quick Start Guide
(ctrl4.co/z-wave). Once the module and dongle are installed, you can add and
connect Z-Wave devices in Composer Pro.
Important! After assembly, do not mount the Z-Wave USB Dongle on a metal
surface! For best Z-Wave signal performance, mount on a non-metal surface. A
wall-mounting slot is included on the back of the dongle for easy wall
installation.
You can use System Design to check the
Wave controller, and view the status of the Z-Wave controller
a Control4 project.
Note: Z-Wave requires a Z-Wave module connected to an EA or CA controller.
See the Z-Wave Module Installation Guide for more help.
