ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.31. INTRODUCTION1.1 GETTING STARTEDCongratulations on your purchase of the ZTH100 and other HomePro components. This manual will guideyou in understaning the full capabilities of the HomePro Sytem and operation of the Remote Transmitter.2. HOMEPRO RF PRODUCTS2.1 OTHER HOMEPRO LIGHTING AND APPLIANCE PRODUCTSThe remote is designed to work with HomePro lamp and appliance controls, and thus control the following products:ZDP100 RF Lamp Module Plug-in, 300W, 120VACZDW100 RF Wall Mounted Dimmer Wall-mount, 500W, 120VACZRP100 RF Appliance Module Plug-in, 15A, 120VACZRW100 RF Wall Switch Wall-mount, 15A, 120VACZ-Wave modules of other types can be added to the system and will also act as repeaters if they support thisfunctionality. However they cannot be controlled with this controller.3. GENERAL OPERATION3.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONThe HomePro product line from Advanced Control Technologies includes several products that are intendedto work together to provide convenient control of all of your home lighting and appliances. By using theZTH100 remote control transmitter, all of these HomePro devices are linked by a state of the art wirelesscommunications network featuring patented Z-Wave technology. This technology insures that the commandsthat you give through the remote transmitter are reliably communicated by radio to the intended HomeProdevice.The remote transmitter controls up to 64 HomePro devices, which include both plug-in and wall mounteddimmers and switches. The remote transmitter finds a way to route your commands to the intended devicethrough other HomePro dimmers and switches. This is possible because each of these devices are designedto retransmit the commands that are sent thru them to adjacent devices that might otherwise be out of rangeof the remote transmitter. The Z-Wave system provides that a command can be routed if necessary throughas many as three different devices in route to the intended device.Communications with devices employing Z-Wave technology is bi-directional. That is, when a command issent from a remote transmitter, an acknowledgement is sent back to it by the affected devices to confirm thatthe command was received. In the unusual situation in which a command is not properly received, a mes-sage will appear on the remote transmitter’s display to inform the User.3.2 REMOTE TRANSMITTER SOFTWARE FEATURES.• Provides user level control for 64 modules.• Allows configuring of 64 groups with up to 64 modules in each.• Allows configuring of 32 scenes with up to 64 modules in each.• Eight (8) timers are available to the user. Each timer can be used to control any one of the existing groups.• Burglar deterrent mode that randomly turns individual modules ON/OFF in the network.• Displays the time in 12 hour AM/PM format• Allows multiple remote transmitters (one master and two or more secondary ones) in various locations forconvenience.3.3 POWER DOWN AND DISPLAY TIME-OUTThe ZTH100 goies into a power saving mode after a period of inactivity in order to conserve battery life.pressing any key will cause the unit to “wake up” and process any of your commands. The display is blankin the power down mode.

HOW TO USE THE ZTH100 FEATURES4.1 MENU NAVIGATION AND SELECTION Pushing the “Menu” button will activate the menu display.:a. and keys are used to navigate through the menu. All menu levels wraparound.b. activates the currently selected menu item.c. (or Clear) cancels the currently selected item and will in most instances step back to the previously selected menu level. If used from top menu level the Remote will return to clock display.The top menu level behaves like this: Using the right and left arrow buttons you can toggle right or left through themenu selections of : GROUPSSCENESTIMERCHILD PROTECTIONBURGLAR DETERRENTSETUPTop level menus wrap around, so arrow buttons in any direction will repeat menu selections.Select any one by pressing OK. Follow instructions to set up that function (explained in following paragraphs). Usingthe Clear button (C) at any time will take you back to the Time (which will auto-off after 10 seconds)4.2 GROUPS/SCENESThe layout and behavior of the “groups” and “scenes” menus are very similar. Where they are identical, “groups” isused as an example.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.54.2.1 ADD MODULE TO GROUPAdding a module to a group using the menu is done this way:Alternatively if the group has been named, the name shows up instead of the number. To add more units repeatthe procedure “ADD UNIT TO GROUP”4.2.2 ADD MODULE TO SCENE.Adding a module to a scene is done this way:Note that hitting “C” will not clear units that already have been stored in the selected scene. A module is stored when“Switch included” is shown in the display.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.64.2.3 EXCEEDING NODE LIMIT.This application supports up to 64 modules. If the user tries to add more than 64 modules to a group or scene thismessage will be displayed:However the module will be given a valid ID and it will be used as a repeater if it supports this functionality, but it cannotbe directly controlled by this remote.4.2.4 ADDING UNSUPPORTED DEVICE TYPES TO THE NETWORKAs mentioned elsewhere devices of other types than multilevel and binary switches can be included into the networkand will be used by the protocol; they cannot be controlled by this application. If the user adds an unknown device tothe network this information will be displayed:4.2.5 NAME A GROUP/SCENETo name a group or scene enter the relevant menu. Then select the group/scene name to be edited.In order to delete a name, just select the group/scene and clear the old name using “C”.Note: Shaded area indicates “blinking” cursor.4.2.5.1 CHARACTER SET.The characters available for naming are: ‘A’,’B’,’C’,’D’,..,’Z’, and ’0',’1',’2',..,’9',’ ‘Note that no lower case letters are available to the user.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.74.2.6 REMOVE MODULES FROM GROUP/SCENE.Clear cancels the current selection. Navigation keys only work if more than one group or scene exists.4.2.7 DELETE GROUP/SCENE Scroll left or right to find scene.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.8If no active groups or scenes exists the following occurs:4.3 TIMERThe timer menu consists of the following menus:Timer information is stored in the remote transmitter – not in the plug-in module.4.3.1 CREATE/EDIT A TIMERThere are eight timers available for the user. Each timer controls one of the existing groups as chosen by the user.If an existing timer is selected that timer will be edited. Pressing the clear button will cancel the editing and leave thetimer as it was. The time indicated when selecting a timer is the start time of that timer.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.9Once a timer has been selected the following flow is executed when creating/editing a timer:If a group is named the group name will be shown.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.104.3.2 DELETE TIMERWhen a timer is no longer needed it can be deleted using “Delete a timer” menu.4.4 CHILD PROTECTIONChild protection is a feature that protects against unintended use of a module. For this feature to work the modulemust support it.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.11If a module button is pressed you will get:ordepending on which of the two options you selected.4.5 BURGLAR DETERRENTWhen in burglar deterrent mode the remote will randomly turn module on and off in the time interval set by the userin the “customize time” menu. By default no modules are included in the burglar deterrent mode. So the first stepthe user should perform, is to include the units that should be used during burglar deterrent. See section 4.5.3 forinformation about how to include units in burglar deterrent.The following issues should be noted:1. When the burglar deterrent period expires or is exited by the user, the remote will turn off all the modulesit currently has marked as activated. This may include units that already were ON before burglar deter-rent was started.2. Because of the randomness involved the actual start time when burglar deterrent activates the firstmodule will vary from the start time with +/-15 minutes.3. After burglar deterrent has activated the first module it will make sure that at least one module is onduring the burglar deterrent period.4. If only one module is included in burglar deterrent this module will be turned on when burglar deterrentactivates the first time and not be turned off until burglar deterrent ends. Refer to paragraph 3.5. When the end time is reached it will take from 0 to 59 minutes before it turns off the modules it activated.6. Burglar deterrent information is only stored in the remote.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.124.5.1 ACTIVATE BURGLAR DETERRENTActivating burglar deterrent will will take the user through a time period customization and put the remote into a specialmode where it will stay until burgular deterrent is cancelled.By default no units are included in burglar deterrent. This message will be shown when the user tries to activate burglardeterrent:
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.134.5.2 EXCLUDE UNITAn included module can be excluded once again using this menu. Note that by default no modules are included inthe burglar deterrent mode.4.5.3 INCLUDE UNITWhen first activating burglar deterrent the modules that the user wants to use should be included using this menu.In addition an excluded module can be included once again using this menu.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.144.6 SETUPThe setup menu is used to access system functions. The layout is as follows:4.6.1 SET TIME4.6.2 DISPLAY CONTRAST“C” cancels the contrast adjustment and returns to idle. Default contrast is 50% which is restored whenever thebatteries have been removed.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.154.6.3 SETUP ALL ON/OFFUsing this menu it is possible to customize the way All on/off works. Units can be included orexcluded from all on/off commands (units are included first time they are added to the network).
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.164.6.4 COPY REMOTE TRANSMITTER.This menu is used to copy information from the Master Remote A master remote must be used to include new modulesto the network and to reset modules. Transmitter to other remote transmitters, so that they may control units knownby the Master Remote Transmitter.A replication of a remote is done as follows:1. Select “Receive information” on the remote which should receive the information (i.e. the SecondaryRemote)2. Select “Send information” and either “Identical copy” or “Only system information” on the remote that is tosend the information (i.e. the Master Remote).3. Wait until transmission is completed and both the remote transmitters return to clock display.4. If a transmission error occur. Please repeat from 1.Considerations:1. It is important to note that all information on the receiving remote will be deleted before any information isreceived.2. Burglar deterrent and timer information is not copied to the secondary remote.3. Slave remote transmitters can not be used to add newly acquired or reset modules to the network4. If a secondary remote is added as one of the first 64 units, it will take up a node ID thus limiting the numberof units that can be controlled from the master remote.5. If modules are moved physically it should be done as mentioned in 4.6.5 and the replication should berepeated6. New modules added to the network are not automatically known by the secondary remote transmitters.They have to be transferred from the Master Remote by the replication process, or by adding the newnode to a group or scene on the secondary remote before it is known by the Master Remote.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.174.6.4.1 SEND INFORMATIONThere are two options. If the user wants an exact copy of the master remote including groups, scenes,names and so forth “Identical copy” should be selected. If the user wants to create groups, scenes andnames from scratch “Only system information” should be selected. When sending is activated the master remotewill wait for a secondary remote to respond to its node information broadcast.4.6.4.2 RECEIVE INFORMATIONThe flow of the “Receive information” menu is shown below.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.184.6.5 RESETTING LAMP AND APPLIANCE MODULES (INCLUDES PLUG IN AND WALL MOUNT)If a switch is to be moved to a new position or added to a new network, it has to be reset before doing so. This is doneusing this menu.4.6.6 RESET REMOTE TRANSMITTERThe remote transmitter can be reset in two different ways. User data only and factory default. User data only, will onlyreset groups, scenes and names. The Remote Transmitter will still information about the modules that have beenadded to the network. Factory default will clear the remote of all information, and it will clear groups, scenes, namesand will delete all modules from the network. A factory default reset should be used with extreme care.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.195. OPERATION MODE5.1 OPERATION DISPLAYWhen the clock is displayed the remote control is in operation mode. It is from this mode the known units can becontrolled through either groups or scenes.5.1.1 SLAVE REMOTE INDICATIONWhen an underscore is shown in the left bottom corner the remote transmitteris a secondary remote with the limitationsmentioned in these instructions.5.1.2 SCENE INDICATION.From the operation mode press the scene prefix button “S”. The display will change to:This indicates that the next key press will be used to control a scene (if any available).5.1.3 LOW BATTERY INDICATION.This message indicates that it is time to replace the batteries. It will go away when the batteries have been replaced.5.2 USING OPERATION MODEOperation mode is the mode where the following display is indicated:This mode is also the idle mode to which the remote returns after performing operations.In this chapter the functions available in operation mode will be described.5.2.1 CONTROLLING GROUPS USING SPEED BUTTONS.Groups are controlled by either using the keys 1 through 6 or by using the navigation keys (‘<‘ or ‘>’) to select the groupthat is to be controlled. Note that dimming a group never displays any failures that might have happened duringtransmission as does an ON/OFF command.5.2.1.1 PRESSING A SPEED BUTTON BRIEFLY.The buttons marked 1 through 6 are used for speed access to the first 6 groups or scenes. Pressing the number buttonbriefly will toggle the selected group on or off. Even if the remote is powered down (display is off) a key press on a speedbutton will toggle the group. The display will show the following message:
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.20Alternatively, if the group is named, the name will be displayed:The text is displayed for a few seconds or until transmission is complete depending on which of these actions occurslast.If no group of the selected number is defined, the following message will be shown for a few seconds:If for some reason the transmission fails, the following message will be shown until the user presses a key:5.2.1.2 HOLDING A SPEED BUTTON DOWN.Once a group is created on a speed button, it will start dimming when the speed button is held down.The remote will listen for node information frames while the button is held down. If it detects a node-information framefrom a valid (reset/valid ID) node, it will add this node to the group being dimmed.This figure illustrates the display during dimming:Note that once a module is at maximum or minimum dim level the dimming will stop. The button must be releasedand held down again in order to change dim direction. If a node information frame is detected during dimming, the
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.21sequence is as follows:NOTE: If the group on the speed button is unused the user will be presented with the option to include a modulewhen holding down a speed button. This is done with the following display:5.2.2 CONTROLLING GROUPS USING NAVIGATION KEYS.Another way to access groups is to use the navigation keys (‘<‘,’>’) from operation state. This is the only way to controlthe groups from 7 to 64. Also note that it is only the existing groups that show up when the user toggles through the
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902 HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.22list. If a group is named the name will be shown instead of the number. In order to switch a group ON or OFF the “OK”button is pressed briefly. If the “OK” button is held down the group will be dimmed and it will be possible to add moduleto the group being dimmed like mentioned in 5.2.1.2It looks like this:If a node information frame is detected the flow is like this:5.2.3 CONTROLLING SCENESScenes are accessed through the scene prefix button (“S”). The remote transmitter will indicate that it is in sceneselecting mode by the display shown in 5.1.2.When in this mode the arrow or number keys can be used to select a scene as mentioned in 5.2.1 except for the factthat scenes will be activated. Once a scene has been activated the remote returns to group mode. Note that scenescan only be activated, not dimmed or deactivated.However they can include switched off modules and also note that setting a scene will never return a failure message.
ZTH100 Operating Instructions060902HomeProby ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.235.2.4 ALL ON/ALL OFFHitting “all on” button will show this display and “all off” button will result inThis display will be shown for the duration of the transmission, which for larger setups can be a while.If the transmission fails eitheror will be shown until the user presses a key.6. OTHER INFORMATIONThe remote transmitter supports 64 modules. If the user adds Z-Wave devices other than HomePro to the network,those modules will use one of these modules identification, if they are assigned as one of the first 64 modules.However since the protocol supports up to 232 modules it is possible to create a setup with 64 modules and numerousmodules of other types. The modules must be added to the network before other types of modules are included. Theremote application will ignore the modules that are added after the 64th, but the protocol will make sure that they geta valid home/module identification and that they are used as repeaters if they support this functionality.WARRANTYAdvanced Control Technologies, Inc. gives this expressed warranty (along with extended warranty endorsements, where applicable)in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including (without limitation), warranties of merchantability and fitness for aparticular purpose.
