Scene Master
USER MANUAL

Introduction:

ZRC-90 Scene Master is a Z-Wave Central Scene Controller. When one of the
buttons on the ZRC-90 is pushed, your Z-Wave central controller will receive a
signal which it can use to trigger unlimited control possibilities. With 8 buttons, each
supporting a long-press capability, you can control 16 different actions in your
central controller. The ZRC-90 is a great solution for triggering events more quickly
than taking out your smart-phone and running a home control App. The Scene
Master is ideal for kids, elderlies and guests who may not have full access to your
smart home's mobile application and hence may not have the rights to switch on
various lighting, heating, air conditioning and other home appliance. With a
convenient snap-in wall mount, the ZRC-90 can also be removed to keep it handy
while you go about your home for the ultimate in simple convenience.

Glossary
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave
Device or Node
device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave
network.
Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Inclusion
Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.
Exclusion
A collection of Z-Wave devices controlled by primary and secondary
Z-Wave Network controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its
own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot
control the system.
A collection of Z-Wave devices configured to turn to a specific level,
Scene setting, mode, or perform an operation. Scenes are usually
activated by a controller, timed event, or specific conditions.
The first controller used to set up your devices and network. Only
the Primary Controller can be used to include or remove modules
Primary Controller
from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary
controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.
A controller containing network information about other modules
Secondary Controller within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary
controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot include
or remove modules to the network.
When a SUC is also configured as a node ID server (SIS) it enables
SUC ID Server (SIS) all other controllers to include/exclude nodes. The SIS automatically
becomes the Primary Controller in the network when enabled.
There can only be one SIS in each individual network. To avoid
inconsistency, all node ID allocations are maintained by the SIS.
The SIS enables other controllers to include/exclude nodes to/from
the network. When SIS functionality is enabled the controller also
takes the role as the Primary Controller because it has both latest
Inclusion Controller
network topology and allocated node IDs. All the other controllers
are called Inclusion Controllers because they can include/exclude
nodes to/from the network.

ZRC-90 can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave
certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-
W R L
battery operated devices within the network will act as repeaters regardless of

vendor to increase reliability of the network.
ZRC-90 can act as a secondary Central Scene controller and trigger the pre-
defined scenes through the gateway. Please follow "Add ZRC-90 into gateway
