Associations
The WS15Z5-1 supports one Group with fi ve Nodes for lifeline communication.
Group 1 must be assigned the Node ID of the Controller to which unsolicited
notifi cations from the WS15Z5-1 will be sent. The Z-Wave Controller should set
this Association automatically after inclusion. You can associate up to fi ve Z-Wave
devices to Group 1. Lifeline Association only supports the “manual reset” event.
For instructions on how to “set Lifeline Association” please refer to your wireless
Controller instructions.
Creating Associations
1.
Learn all devices into the Z-Wave Hub.
2.
Tap the paddle of the WS15Z5-1 four times quickly to enter Association mode.
The LED will begin to blink quickly (twice per second).
3.
Tap the paddle of the switch or device you want to Associate to the WS15Z5-1
three times.
4.
Repeat Step #3 for up to 5 total dimmers and / or switches within 60 seconds of
entering Association mode.
5.
Association mode will turn off after 60 seconds.
Although the Associations are now functional, it is recommended that you refer to
your Hubs instructions to “Poll” or “Heal” the Z-Wave network to recognize the new
Associations.
Removing Associations
To remove the Associations, if the Hub has recognized the Associations, refer to
the Z-Wave Hub’s instructions on how to remove Associations. If the Hub has not
recognized the Associations, removing the WS15Z5-1 from the Z-Wave network will
eliminate the Associations.
ADVANCED OPERATION
All On/All Off
The WS15Z5-1 supports the ALL ON / ALL OFF commands. The WS15Z5-1 can be
set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands four different ways.
Refer to your Controller for information on how to set the WS15Z5-1 to operate in
the manner you desire. Some Controllers may be only able to set certain settings of
ALL ON/ALL OFF response.
The four different ways the WS15Z5-1 can be setup to respond to ALL ON and ALL
OFF commands are:
1.
Responds to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.
2.
Responds to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.
3.
Responds to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.
4.
Responds to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.
CONFIGURATION
The WS15Z5-1 supports the Confi guration command.
Each unit can be
confi gured to operate slightly differently than how it works when you fi rst install it.
Using the Confi guration command you can confi gure the following:
Night Light
By default, the LED on the WS15Z5-1 will turn OFF when the load attached is
turned ON. To make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turned ON, set
Parameter 3 to a value of 1.
Parameter Length Valid Values
Confi guration Option
3
1 Byte
0
LED OFF when the load is on, and ON when the load
is off
(default - night lite mode)
1
LED ON when the load is on, and OFF when the
load is off
2
LED is always on
3
LED is always off
4
LED blinks during RF transmissions from or to the
device
Invert Switch
To change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch ON, set
Parameter 4 to a value of 1.
Parameter Length Valid Values
Confi guration Option
4
1 Byte
0
Top of switch is ON, bottom of switch is OFF
(default)
1
Bottom of switch is ON, top of switch is OFF
Over-The-Air (OTA) Update
A Quadruple tap of the switch enables the fi rmware update mode. Firmware update
mode must be entered before the system Controller sends the fi rmware update
command to begin downloading new fi rmware. Firmware update mode is enabled
for 60 seconds after the quadruple tap. If the Firmware update does not begin
before the end of the 60 seconds then fi rmware update mode is exited returns
to normal operation. The LED “winks” twice per second indicating it is in fi rmware
update mode.
Resetting to Defaults
Each confi guration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting the
default bit in the Confi guration Set command. See your Controller’s instructions on
how to do this (and if it supports it). All confi guration commands will be reset to their
default state when the WS15Z5-1 is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using
the Controller to reset the node.

IMPORTANT !!!
Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important need in portable wireless signaling.
However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices.
As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that
occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer,
and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
