AN163  ON/OFF MODULE 
This plug-in ON/OFF Module is a transceiver which is a Z-WaveTM enabled device 
and is fully compatible with any Z-WaveTM enabled network. Z-WaveTM enabled 
devices displaying the Z-WaveTM logo can also be used with it regardless of the 
manufacturer, and ours can also be used in other manufacturer’s Z-WaveTM enabled 
networks. Remote On/Off control of the connected load is possible with other 
manufacturer’s Wireless Controller. Each module is designed to act as a repeater.  
Repeaters will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by its 
intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.   
This plug-in ON/OFF Module is able to detect current wattage (5~1440W) and 
overload wattage of connected non-dimmable lights or appliances. When detecting 
overload state, the Module will be disabled and its On/Off button will be locked out of 
which LED will flash quickly for 30 seconds.  However, unplug and re-connect the 
Module will reset its overload condition to normal status. 
Include to or Exclude from a Z-WaveTM Network 
In the front casing, there is an On/Off button with LED indicator which is used to carry 
out inclusion, exclusion, reset or association. Toggle On/Off button between On and 
Off. When first power is applied, its LED flashes on and off alternately and repeatedly 
at 2-second intervals. It implies that it has not been assigned a node ID and cannot 
work with Z-Wave enabled devices.    Please get familiar with the terms below before 
starting the operations. 
 Function Description 
Inclusion   Add a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. On/Off Module) to Z-Wave network. 
Exclusion   Delete a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. On/Off Module) from the network. 
Function Description 
Association  After inclusion, you have to define the relationship between devices. 
Through association, device can be assigned as master/slave, and specify 
which slave is going to be controlled by which master. 
Reset Restore On/Off Module to factory default. 
The table below lists an operation summary of basic Z-Wave functions.    Please refer 
to the instructions for your Z-WaveTM Certificated Primary Controller to access the 
setup function, and to include/exclude/associate devices.   The module executes the 
function of auto inclusion when…

Programming 
1.    Basic Command Class / Binary Switch Command Class 
The Module will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of the 
Z-Wave system. 
 1-1 BASIC_GET / BINARY_SWITCH_GET 
    Upon receipt of the following commands from a Z-Wave Controller, the Module 
will report its On/Off state to the Controller. 
Basic Get Command: [Command Class Basic, Basic Get] 
Basic Report Command: 
Report OFF: [Command Class Basic, Basic Report, Value = 0(0x00)] 
Report ON:[Command Class Basic, Basic Report, Value = (255)0xFF] 
Binary Switch Get Command:[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch 
Binary Get] 
Binary Switch Report Command: 
Report OFF:[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch Binary Report, Value 
=0(0x00)] 
Report ON:[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch Binary Report, Value 
= (255)0xFF] 

3 
1-2 BASIC_SET / SWITCH_BINARY_SET 
    Upon receipt of the following commands from a Z-Wave Controller, the load 
attached to the Module will turn on or off. 
 [Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = (255)0xFF]: the load attached 
to the Module turns on. 
[Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = 0(0x00)]: the load attached to 
the Module turns off. 
[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch Binary Set, Value = (255)0xFF]: 
the load attached to the Module turns on. 
[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch Binary Set, Value = 0(0x00)]: the 
load attached to the Module turns off. 
2.  Z-Wave’s Groups (Association Command Class Version 2) 
The Module can be set to send reports to or to control associated Z-Wave devices.  
It supports two association groups with one node support for Grouping 1 and four 
nodes support for Grouping 2. For grouping 1, the Module will report its latest status 
to Z-Wave Controller. There are two conditions of controlling the associated Z-Wave 
devices in grouping 2.   
In order to control associated Z-Wave devices, the prerequisite is to enable the 
BASIC_SET command. (see 2-2-1 for details) 
Condition 1: Upon receipt of the commands from Z-Wave Controller, the Module will 
control all devices associated in grouping 2 for On or Off operation. 
Condition 2: Pressing On/Off button directly on the Module, all devices associated 
with the Module will be turned on or off simultaneously. 
Grouping 1 includes ALARM_REPORT, SWITCH_BINARY_REPORT, 
METER_REPORT_COMMAND 
Grouping 2 includes BASIC_SET 
 2-1 Grouping 1 (Maximum Node 1) 
2-1-1 POWER_APPLIED command   
The Module will send ALARM_REPORT command to the nodes of Grouping 1 to 
inform the Z-Wave Controller that the Module is connected to a wall outlet 
properly. 
ALARM_REPORT Command: 
[Command Class Alarm, Alarm Type = 0x02, Alarm Level = 0x01] 
2-1-2 On/Off Event Report (TRUE STATE) 
      When toggling between “on” and “off ” button, it will send Switch Binary Report to 
the nodes of Grouping 1. However by setting a specified period of time (referred 
to as the “true period”) as indicated below in item 3 -- Z-Wave’s configuration 
parameter 1, toggle On/Off button between “on” and “off” will not send Switch 
Binary Report instantly. As a result, when pressing “on” or “off” button for the first 
time, the Module will be locked out for the preset true period during which shifting 
between “on” and “off” button will not send Switch Binary Report.  It will be 
unlocked until the preset true period is expired.  As soon as the Module is 
unlocked, it will check if the current state is different from the initial state.   If it is 
different, the Module will send Switch Binary Report to the nodes of Grouping 1 
immediately; whereas if it is the same, the Module will not send report to the 
nodes of Grouping 1. 
   The true period can be set through configuration command class.  Refer to the 
true period of configuration. 
 2-1-3 Binary Switch Report Command 
ON:[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch Binary Report, Value 
=(255)0xFF] 
OFF:[Command Class Switch Binary, Switch Binary Report, Value 
=0(0x00)] 
 2-1-4 Meter Report Command 
  The Module will report its instant power consumption to the node of Grouping 1. 
  For detailed description of meter report command, refer to page 4. 
2-2 Grouping 2 (Max. Nodes 4) 
 2-2-1 Control Other Z-Wave Devices (Basic Set) 
      Enable or disable BASIC_SET command.    Refer to the table below describing 
“send basic command to grouping 2”. 
   Note: AN163 can associate up to 4 pc of AN163, acting as an active and passive 
device respectively.    The active one cannot be set and controlled by the passive 
device.

 3-1 The true period: 
   If the setting is configured for 1 second, pressing On or Off button alternately 
within 1 second will not send out RF command.  After 1 second has elapsed, it 
will examine if current On/Off state is the same as the initial 1 second.  If the 
same, no RF command will be sent, whereas if it is different, RF command will be 
sent to update the status. The maximum interval is 12 second 
(100ms*120=12000ms). 
 3-2 Send basic command to grouping 2: 
      If the setting is configured for 0, whenever pressing On/Off button manually on the 
Module or receiving basic_set command from the Z-Wave Controller, the Module 
will not send command to other devices of Grouping 2 for On or Off operation; 
whereas if the setting is configured for 1, the Module will send command to other 
devices of Grouping 2 for On or Off operation. 
 3-3 Meter Report Period (W): 
      If the setting is configured for 30 seconds, the Module will report its instant power 
load (W) every 30 seconds to Z-Wave Controller.  The maximum interval to 
report its instant power consumption is 9 hours (10s*3240/3600=9hr). 
 3-4 Meter Report Period (kWh): 
   If the setting is configured for 1440 minutes (24Hr), the Module will report its 
instant power load (kWh) every 24 hours to Z-Wave Controller.  The maximum 
interval to report its instant power consumption is 1 week (1min*10080/60=168hr 
=1 week). 
4.  Meter Command Class 
   The Module will report its instant or accumulated power consumption to Z-Wave 
Controller.  If the calculation of accumulated power consumption is needed, the 
Z-Wave Controller needs to be sent Meter Reset Command to the Module, 
enabling to reset to zero. 
 4-1 Instant Power Consumption of Module 
    When receiving Meter Get Command, it will report Meter Report Command to 
the node of Grouping 1. 
Meter Get Command: [Command Class Meter, Meter Get, Scale =0x02(W)] 
Meter Report Command: [Command Class Meter,Meter Report,Rate 
Type+Meter Type,Precision+Scale+ Size,Meter Value 1,Meter Value 2] 
 Rate Type = 0x01 
Meter Type = 0x01 
Precision = 0 
Scale = 0x02(W) 
Size = 2 Bytes (Meter Value) 
Meter Value 1 = High Byte (W) 
Meter Value 2 = Low Byte (W) 
Example: 
Meter Value 1 = 0x01(W) 
Meter Value 2 = 0xF4(W) 
Meter (W) = Meter Value 1*256 + Meter Value 2 
= (1x1)x256 + [(15x16)+(4x1)] = 500(W) 
 4-2 Accumulated Power Consumption (KW/h) 
When receiving Meter Get Command, it will report Meter Report Command to 
the node of grouping 1. 
 Meter Get Command: [Command Class Meter, Meter Get, Scale = 0x00 
KW/h)]
     Meter Report Command:   
[Command Class Meter,Meter Report,Rate Type + Meter Type,

     Accumulated power consumption (KW/h) = (Meter Value 2*65536) + (Meter 
Value 3*256) + (Meter Value 4) = 120652.98 (KW/h) 
 Note: When connecting to smaller loading, the module needs longer period of 
time to accumulate the value of power consumption. It is highly recommended 
that you expand its loading and prolong measuring period. For instance, when 
connecting to 100 wattage for one hour, the value of power consumption will be 
added as about 0.1, whereas for 1000 wattage, it will be added as about 1.0.
