DESCRIPTION
The ZW500DM-N by itself is a Single Pole Dimmer switch. Our unique wiring method
combined with Advanced Z-Wave technology allows for multiple switches (requires
ZW3K-N) to control a single Load manually at the devices or remotely from a
computer, smart phone or tablet in Real Time. The ZW500DM-N is fully compatible
with other Z-Wave devices and it can be added to most Z-Wave compliant controllers.
FEATURES
• Replaces a standard 120VAC, 15Amp wall switch with a technologically advanced Dimmer switch
that can be manually controlled at the device or remotely through the Z-Wave network.
• Wireless Z-Wave technology creates a mesh network for command and control interoperability
with other Z-Wave compliant controllers and devices
• Set scenes, schedule events (Program ON/OFF times like a timer), and even turn ON/OFF when a
motion or door sensor goes off.
• Can be used as a Single Pole Dimmer switch or 3- Way (Multi-location) with ZW3K-N Auxiliary
Switch (sold separately).
• A blue LED night light can be programmed to come on when the load is ON or OFF.
• 3 Interchangeable Color Face Plates included (white, light almond, and black).
• Compatible with LED, CFL, fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen bulbs.
• Dimmer will turn on the lights On to the last ON light level.
To Replace the Face Cover,
use a small screwdriver to
pry off the cover
REQUIREMENTS
Z-Wave devices require a connection to a compatible hub. Once the device is properly added to the hub, it can
be managed and customized to your needs. Please visit www.enerwaveautomation.com for a list of compatible
hubs. NEUTRAL wire is required.

WARNING:
Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before installing the Switch
Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician performs this installation. Make sure to turn off the circuit breaker or fuse(s)
and make sure power is off before wiring the device. Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control appliances. Operation of the Z-Wave device may be in a different room than the controlled appliance so an unintentional activation may occur if the wrong button on
the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devices can be automatically powered on by programmed events. Unattended or unintentional operation could result in hazardous conditions. Z-Wave enabled devices should never be used to supply power to, control, or monitor medical and/or life
support equipment.
To enable the 3-way function install the ZW3K-N in conjunction with the ZW500DM-N. For use with incandescent, halogen, LED, and CFL lights. Use copper wires only.

UPGRADING STANDARD SWITCHES TO Z-WAVE
REPLACING EXISTING SWITCHES WITH THE ZW500DM-N
Replacing a standard light switch with a smart Z-Wave switch is a simple way to modernize your home
by adding programmable lighting control to your smart device. The ZW500DM-N Smart Meter Switch
enables you to measure the energy usage of your Lights. When added to a Z-Wave network, the
ZW500DM-N reports real time data to your gateway or controller. It can also display actual
consumption (in W) and the accumulated power used (in kWh) in the user interface depending on the
Hub. Please refer to your Hub manual for specific instructions on measuring the power.
WIRING DIRECTIONS
Step 1. Identify all your wires. Label the wires or draw a diagram of
existing wires. Make sure there is a NEUTRAL, HOT, and LOAD wire
where the ZW500DM-N will be installed. Step 2. Connect the wires
according to the Diagram.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
This device is warranted to be free of material and workmanship defects for 2 years from the date of
purchase. Original receipt or proof of purchase from an authorized retailer must be presented upon warranty
claim. ALL claims must be verified and approved by Enerwave, Inc. Warranties from other Enerwave
products may vary. This warranty is nontransferable and does not cover normal wear and tear or any
malfunction, failure, or defect resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect, alteration, modification, or improper
installation. To the fullest extent permitted by the applicable state law, Enerwave shall not be liable to the
purchaser or end user customer of Enerwave products for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential
damages even if Enerwave has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Enerwave' total liability
under this or any other warranty, express or implied, is limited to repair, replacement or refund. Repair,
replacement or refund are the sole and exclusive remedies for breach of warranty or any other legal theory.
WIRELESS RANGE
This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line of sight transmission distances of 100 feet. Actual performance in a home
depends on the numbers 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 control network. Most Z-Wave enabled devices act as signal repeater and multiple devices result in more possible
transmission routes which helps eliminate " RF dead-spots." Use the chart above only as a guide to maximize the signal range.
If you have trouble identifying the wires, STOP and
consult with an Electrician.
• Connect the BLACK wire on switch to the HOT wire.
• Connect the WHITE wire on switch to the NEUTRAL wire.
• Connect the Red wire on switch to the LOAD wire.
• Connect the GREEN wire on switch to the GROUND
wire or green GROUND screw on box.
For 3-Way installation, the ZW500DM-N requires the 3-Way
Control Auxiliary Switch ZW3K-N.
A standard 3-Way switch WILL NOT work with the ZW500DM-
N. Follow the ZW3K-N Instruction Manual for 3-Way installation.
