During the Inclusion/ Exclusion process, the ON/OFF switch is used for including/ excluding the device.

It is best to perform an Exclusion of the device prior to performing an Inclusion.

Step 1. 

From the Control Panel, go the the device Exclusion page.

OPERATING THE ZW500DM-PLUS

Configuration details

ZW500DM-PLUS

PROGRAMMING

The process of "Inclusion/ Exclusion" is to Add or Remove the device from the Hub. All Z-Wave devices must be 

"Included" on the Controller (Hub) before it can be controlled from a smart device. The Hub should be brought 

physically closer to the device just for the "Inclusion" process (recommended within 10ft). When finished, the 

Hub and device can be moved back to final installation location. Download the App or log onto the website 

associated with the Hub you are using and follow their Inclusion/ Exclusion instructions as each Hub's 

programming and features are different.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

WARNING:

 Advanced programming is recommended ONLY for experienced programmers. The 

ZW500DM-PLUS

 has customizable features / 

functions that require writing codes. Changes to code may cause device to function improperly or to not function at all.

The following parameters require that you have an advanced controller. Basic remotes do not have this capability.

LED Light and Buttons Configuration 

By default, one press 

of the 

"up"

 button 

will turn 

the Load 

on

 

and 

the 

LED 

indicator

 will turn off.

 U

se 

"

Command_Class_Configuration

"

 to configure 

the 

LED 

indicator

 

to operate in reverse when the button is pressed

.

o

Select "Exclude Device".

o

When prompted, press the "ON" or "OFF" paddle on the switch 3 times.

Step 2. 

Go to the "Add Device" page.

o

Select "Include Device".

o

When prompted, press the "ON" or "OFF" paddle on the switch 3 times. 

o

Once the exclusion is finished, the blue LED indicator will start blinking.

The primary controller should indicate that the action was successful. If the controller indicates the action was unsuccessful, 

please repeat from Step 1.

 

Once the switch is part of the network, the same basic procedure is used to add the switch to groups & 

scenes or change advanced functions. Refer to the primary controller’s instructions for details. 

MULTIPLE DIMMERS DERATING

When installing more than one control in the same wall box, it may be necessary to remove 

the

 side 

tabs

 

before

 

installing

 (see below). Using pliers, 

bend 

each tab

 

back and forth

 until they break off. Repeat for each 

tab

 to be removed. Removal of

in conjunction 

with another 

ZW500DM-PLUS

 Dimmer to control Incandescent /Halogen lights 

follow this Derating Chart for Maximum Capacitiy on 

EACH

 device.

If you are using ONLY LED/CFL bulbs on ALL 

ZW500DM-PLUS

 Dimmers,

DO NOT USE this Derating Chart. Follow the LED/ CFL Derating Chart.

All-ON and All-OFF

Depending upon your primary controller, the 

ZW500DM-PLUS

 switch can be set to respond to ALL-ON and ALL-OFF commands 

in four different ways. Some controllers may not be able to change the response from its default setting. Please refer to your 

controller’s instructions or technical support for information on whether or not it supports the configuration function and if so, how 

to change this setting. 

The four possible responses for each button (top or bottom button on switch) are:

Step 3. 

Follow the On-Screen instructions in the Control Panel on adding or removing rooms, scenes, other devices, and other functions 

and features.
