3. Carefully remove the existing switch from the switch box.
4. Disconnect the wiring from the existing switch.
5. Connect the Z-Wave dimmer 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. Check connections to be sure they are tight and no bare conductors are exposed.
7. Insert the ZW500D dimmer switch into the outlet box carefully.
8. Make sure the ZW500D dimmer switch to the box using the supplied screws
9. Attach the wall plate
10. Restore power at the circuit breaker and test the system.
Air Gap Switch
During normal operation, there is a small amount of power passing through the switch
to the load even when the dimmer switch is turned off. The ZW500D has an air gap
switch on the lower right side to completely disconnect power to the load. Slide the
air gap switch to left to disconnect the power while replacing light bulbs and slide it
to right for normal operation. The air gap switch must be all the way in for the dimmer
to function and control the lighting.
