NuTone NPS15Z Installation

NOTE: This module must be "included in the Network" only where it will be permanently installed. You cannot "test bench" configure this
module, then install. The proper operation of this node in the mesh network is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes.
NPS15Z PLUG-IN APPLIANCE MODULE
®
NuTone's family of Z-Wave
dimmers, outlets and plug-in modules) brings a new level of intelligent wireless
capability to commercial and residential environments.
The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote
home automation, security and other applications. Embedded in each device,
the Z-Wave smart chip enables two-way RF communication among hundreds
of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing products and services from multiple
manufacturers to work seamlessly.
NuTone Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create an
integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability
with security and health monitoring systems, energy management, home
entertainment, appliances, and more.
This product supports 40Kbps data transmission. This product can also
be used for network support in systems that stream metadata. An example
might include transmission of information from audio devices such as song
title, artist, and album information to various displays around the home. As
part of a Z-Wave network, the NPS15Z will act as a wireless repeater to insure
that commands intended for another device in the network are received. This
is useful when the device would otherwise be out of the radio range of the
wireless controller.
INSTALLATION
Plug this Appliance Module into the wall outlet near the load to be controlled,
and plug the load into the Appliance Module. Make sure the load to be
controlled is 15 amps (1800 watts) or less.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a grounded type plug that
has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type power
outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
INCLUDING NPS15Z TO THE NETWORK
1. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network, by adding it to a group
(method of adding a node to the network). Refer to controller instructions.
2. The NPS15Z must be in its permanently installed location. Tap the
button on the NPS15Z once.
3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the "DEVICE WAS
INCLUDED" in the network.
NOTE:
If you have trouble adding the NPS15Z to a group it may be that
✓
the Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must
first "RESET UNIT" with your controller to remove it from the network.
Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it from
a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group, it
functions only as a repeater.

INTEROPERABILITY WITH Z-WAVE™ DEVICES
A Z-Wave network can integrate devices of various classes of products, and
these devices can be made by different manufacturers. The NPS15Z has
Z-Wave certification which guarantees interoperability.
BASIC OPERATION
Button (Local Control)
The button on the NPS15Z allows the user to:
• Turn the attached load on or off.
• Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system.
When a controller prompts you to "Send Node ID" or to "Press Button on Unit",
quickly tap the button once to satisfy those instructions. Tapping button toggles
the load attached ON or OFF.
Remote Control
The NPS15Z will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of
the Z-Wave system. Refer to your controller's instructions as to whether your
controller can transmit those commands.
ADVANCED OPERATION
Protection
The NPS15Z supports the Protection Command. The NPS15Z can be set
to any one of three Protection modes by a wireless controller. Refer to your
controller for information on how to set the various modes of Protection. Some
controllers may only be able to set certain settings of Protection:
There are three modes of Protection and they are the following:
• No protection
• Child protection
• Local Button totally disabled
No Protection
When Protection is set to "No Protection" mode,the NPS15Z works normally,
unit will turn on and off with the button on the unit, or with the wireless controller.
Child Protection
When Protection is set to "Child Protection" mode, you are required to press
the button on the unit 3 times rapidly to control the attached load. The NPS15Z
continues to operate normally using a wireless controller.
Button Totally Disabled
When Protection is set to "Button totally disabled" mode the button will not
work to turn the unit on or off. The button can still be used, however, to access
the Z-Wave network. The NPS15Z continues to operate normally using a
wireless controller.
