Aeotec Micro Switch G2 Installation Instructions

Micro Switch G2
Micro Smart Energy Switch G2
(Generation 2)
(In-Wall Z-Wave Appliance Module w/ Energy Monitor)
Introduction:
The Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 is a
low-cost Z-Wave appliance module specifically used
to enable Z-Wave command and control (on/
off) for existing in-wall switches. It can also report
immediate wattage consumption or kWh energy
usage over a period of time.
The wireless module is powered from the mains
supply and is a three-wire design which requires
a neutral connection. In the event of power
failure, non-volatile memory retains
programmed information relating to the units
operating status.
It also is a repeater in the Z-Wave network.
Acting as a bridge for communication, it will
forward Z-Wave command messages to their
destinations if the originating controller is out of
range from the destination node.
By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh
network, commands can be routed to their
destination via intermediary "listening" Z-Wave
products. Products that are Z-Wave certified can
be used and communicate with other Z-Wave
certified devices.
IMPORTANT:
A licensed electrician with
understanding of electrical systems and electrical
safety should complete the electrical installation
inside the main circuit box (usually located outside of
your house).
In-Wall Electrical Installation Instructions:
IMPORTANT: The electricity to the circuit must be shut off
Step 1
during installation for safety and to ensure that wires are not
short circuited during installation thus causing damage to
the Micro Module.

Z-Wave Network Instructions:
The Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 must be paired
(included) into a Z-Wave network before it can receive
Z-Wave commands to turn on/off and report its energy usage.
The Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 can only communicate
to devices within it's own Z-Wave network.

Troubleshooting: If the Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 was
not successfully included into any Z-Wave network, the LED will continually
blink slowly. If the Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 was
successfully included to a Z-Wave network, the Status Indication LED
will either be solid on or off depending on if the switch is on or off.
