ZDP100 PLUG-IN LAMP MODULE
The ZDP100 plug-in Lamp Module is a component of the HomePro lighting control system. Plug the Lamp Module
into a wall outlet and plug a lamp into the Lamp Module. Inclusion of the Lamp Module on the ZTH100, RF Remote
Transmitter menu allows remote ON/OFF control and dimming of lamps connected.
This plug-in Lamp Module is designed to work with other HomePro lamp and appliance controls. Z-Wave nodes of
other types can be added to the system and will also act as repeaters if they support this function of repeating the signal
received to other modules in the system.
As part of a HomePro network, the ZDP100 can 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 remote controller.
INSTALLATION
Plug this Lamp Module into the wall outlet near the lamp to be controlled, and plug the lamp into the Lamp Module.
Follow instructions in section 4.2.1 of the Remote Transmitter Operating instructions to add this module under the
control of the Remote Transmitter. Make sure the lamp(s) to be controlled total no more than 300 watts. WARNING:
Plugging a non-resistive load such as florescent lighting or a device with a motor may result in damage to the Lamp
Module and will void the warranty.
Lamp Module Button
The Lamp Module has a button on the face (see picture above) that switches an attached lamp ON and OFF, and
adjusts its dimming level by holding it down, and it is also used to configure the module to operate from the remote
transmitter. With the Remote Transmitter, the Lamp Module can be switched ON and OFF, and can be included
in groups of lights (a group can also be a single module) that operate at the same time, and in scenes that set a
lighting mood.
Switch power ON and OFF
When the button is pressed and released quickly, the power will toggle. This means that power will be turned OFF
if it was ON and turned ON if it was OFF. When switching the Lamp Module ON or OFF, the light will dim UP (or
DOWN) in approximately 2 seconds until the final level is reached.
Dimming
If the button is constantly pressed the light will be dimmed. The dimming function will also toggle. Constantly
pressing the button the Lamp Module will dim either UP or DOWN until it reaches the maximum or minimum value.
The second time the button is held down, the dimming will change direction. When the power level reaches either
full power or minimum power the dimming will stop until the button has been released and is pressed again.
Button functions
1. Adds module under the control of Remote Transmitter.
2. Local ON and OFF (push and release).
3. Local dimming (hold down).

Child Protection
The Lamp Module can be set in a child protect mode by the Remote Transmitter (see section 4.4 of Remote
Transmitter instructions). When this mode is active, a user will have to press the button on the Lamp Module 3 times
rapidly to activate the attached load. The module operates normally when controlled by the Remote Transmitter.
Other functions
The button on the Lamp Module also plays a role when resetting and adding to groups and scenes. This is described
in more detail in Section 4.2 and 4.2.2 of the Remote Transmitter instructions.
Software fuse
This Lamp Module is designed to protect itself against loads that exceed it’s maximum power rating. The
application of a load that exceeds that rating is quickly sensed by the dimmer and it responds by immediately
shutting off all power to that load.
If the dimmer doesn’t seem to work, or if it only works momentarily, check to see that the total lamp wattage doesn’t
exceed the 300W rating of the Lamp Module. If a properly sized load is restored to the dimmer, it can be operated
normally once again.
Over-current protection
The Lamp Module hardware has an over current detection circuit, which is final protection against overload.
If the software fuse should fail to shut down the dimmer when overloaded, backup protection is provided by an
internal fuse. This fuse is not user serviceable. Check your home circuit breakers before concluding that the
product must be returned to manufacturer for repair at a nominal charge.
Operation Note
When a light bulb reaches the end of it’s life and burns out, it sometimes creates a momentary short circuit. The
high current that results may cause the dimmer to properly respond by turning off. Should this happen, replace
the bulb with a new one. The dimmer can now be operated to restore power to the light.
Note: 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 interfer-
ence 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 communica-
tions. 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 equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following mea-
sures:
- 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.
