PLUG
(US)
The AN186 Z-Wave Plug is a Z-Wave Plus
TM
 enabled device and is fully compatible with any Z-Wave
TM
enabled network. The device can be set up in a Z-Wave network to communicate directly with other end 
devices such as PIR motion detector, or to report directly to a Z-Wave controller (usually a gateway). 
This Z-Wave Plug is designed to control the on/off status of lighting and appliances in the home. Remote 
On/Off control of the connected load is possible even when paired with other manufacturer’s Wireless 
Controller. Each module is also designed to act as a repeater to re-transmit RF signal to ensure that it is 
received by its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots. 
Product Overview 
Adding to Z-Wave
TM
 Network 
Auto Inclusion 
The Z-Wave plug supports Auto Inclusion feature where it will automatically enter Inclusion mode when 
first powered up after a factory reset. 
1.  In  the  front  casing,  there  is  an  On/Off  knob  which  is  used  to  carry  out  inclusion,  exclusion  or 
association. 
2.  Put a Z-Wave Controller into inclusion/exclusion mode. 
3.  Plug this On/Off device into a wall outlet near the load to be controlled. 
4.  The Inclusion process should be completed when the LED stops blinking. 
Note: If Auto Inclusion fails, refer to the Troubleshooting section regarding Manual Inclusion. 
Testing 
1.  From the Z-Wave Controller’s interface, turn on the newly added On/Off Module (refer to 
the Controller’s user manual for instructions). The LED indicator on the module should 
turn on. 
2.  Turn off the module before connecting any appliance to it. 
Installation 
1.  Plug this On/Off Module into a wall outlet near the appliance/lighting to be controlled. 
2.  Plug the appliance into the Controllable outlet of the module, indicated by a wireless icon printed on 
the module. 
Note:  There  are  two  outlets  at  opposite  sides  of  the  module.  Appliances  plugged  into  the 
controllable outlet can be controlled by this module whereas the other side is non-controllable and 
acts only as an electrical pass-through outlet. 
Important:  Make  sure  the  total  appliance  load  of  both  sides  do  not  exceed  1400  watts,  which 
means if the load of controllable outlet is changed, the other side should be altered accordingly. For 
instance, if the load of controllable outlet is 1400 watts, the other should be 0 watt; while if the load 
of controllable outlet is 1100 watts, the other should be 300 watts.   
3.  Set the switch on the appliance permanently to the ON position. 
4.  To control the appliance manually from the module, simply press the module’s On/Off knob. When 
the red indicator LED turns ON (for about 5 seconds) this indicates electrical power is directed into 
the appliance. When the LED turns off, electrical power is cut off from the appliance. 
Programming 
Z-Wave Group 
The unit supports either one of two Z-Wave Association Groups: 
Group 1: Association with 1 Controller node. 
Group 2: Association with 4 nodes (i.e. end devices such as detectors or other lighting switches).This 
allows the On/Off module to receive commands directly from these end devices without the participation 
of the controller. 
Group 1 commands: 
 When the unit is powered for the first time, the unit will send a Notification Report to the node of 
Group 1.   
 When setting the unit or changing the unit’s status, the unit will send a Binary Switch Report to the 
node of Group 1. When the unit is OFF, Switch Binary Report    Value = 0x00. When the unit is ON, 
Switch Binary Report Value = 0xFF. 
 Device Reset: When performing Factory Reset the unit will send Device Reset Locally Notification to 
the node of Group1.   
Group 2 commands: 
 When the button on the unit is pressed, the unit will send a Basic Set command to the nodes of 
Group 2. When the unit is OFF, Basic Set Value = 0x00. When the unit is ON, Basic Set Value = 0xFF.
