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 perform

s

 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-PLUS

. For use with incandescent, halogen, 

LED, and 

CFL lights. 

Use copper wires only.

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 

t

he GREEN wire on switch to the GROUND

wire or green GROUND screw on box.

DESCRIPTION

The 

ZW500DM-PLUS

 

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-PLUS

 is fully 

compatible with other Z-Wave devices and it can be added to most Z-Wave compliant 

controllers. 

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. 

If you have trouble identifying the wires, STOP and 

consult with an Electrician.

WIRING DIRECTIONS

DO NOT REVERSE THE HOT AND TRAVELER WIRES.

 

DOING SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND THE SWITCH 

WILL SHORT CIRCUIT.

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-PLUS

 will be installed.

Step 2.

 

Connect the wires

 according to the Diagram.

For 3-Way installation, the 

ZW500DM-PLUS

 requires the 3-Way 

Control Auxiliary Switch 

ZW3K-

N

A standard 3-Way switch WILL NOT work with the 

ZW500DM-

PLUS

.  Follow  the 

ZW3K-

N

  Instruction  Manual  for 

3-Way installation.

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.enerwaveau

t

omation.com for a list of compatible 

hubs. NEUTRAL wire is required.

FCC  COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

FCC Grant of Equipment Authorizations of this device and transmitters installed in this device can be found at FCC website by entering the FCC ID number on the device.

Caution:

 Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance could void the user’s right to operate the equipment.  

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept 

any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. 
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable 

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of 

the following measures:

To Replace the Face Cover, 

use a small screwdriver to 

pry off the cover

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

UPGRADING STANDARD SWITCHES TO Z-WAVE

REPLACING EXISTING SWITCHES WITH THE ZW500DM-PLUS

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-PLUS

 Smart 

Meter Switch enables you to measure the energy usage of your Lights. When added to a Z-Wave 

network, the 

ZW500DM-PLUS

 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.

WIRELESS RANGE

This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line of sight transmission distances of 

1

31

 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.
