Z-WAVE PLUS FEATURES
The GoControl Irrigation Controller contains a Z-Wave 500 Series Module that
supports Z-Wave Plus® features. A Z-Wave certified portable or stationary
Controller can communicate with the Z-Wave 500 Series Module.
Depending on the capability of the Z-Wave Controller or gateway software, the
following operations can be performed with the GoControl Irrigation Controller.
Refer to the Z-Wave Controller or gateway manual for details.
• Turn the 24 VAC residential irrigation valve ON and OFF.
• Add or Remove the GoControl Irrigation Controller.
• Over-the-air firmware update by the gateway or static Controller.
• Lifeline function which automatically notifies the associated modules and
the network that a manually reset device is no longer in the network, thus,
the corresponding association becomes invalid.
Location of Controller
When installing the WI15Z-1Controller keep the following points in mind:
• Choose a location near an electrical outlet.
• Place unit away from direct sunlight.
• Locate WI15Z-1 Controller so that there is easy access to the sprinkler

Wiring Valves to Controller
The WI15VZ-1 Controller accommodates up to 15 valves.
1. Begin the wiring sequence by stripping a wire end and inserting it into the
“Common” terminal on the Controller.
2. Connect the Common wire to (1) one of the valves. (For simplicity only two
valves are shown in diagram below. A maximum of 15 valves can be wired
to the controller. Connect the other wire of each valve to a corresponding
wire of the cable bundle. All connections should be made with wire nuts.
To prevent electrical overload one common wire should be connected to
each valve and only one valve should be connected to each station (See
Figure 4).
IMPORTANT: The connection wires can be buried in the ground, however, for
more protection, wires can be fed through PVC pipe then buried. Be sure to avoid
placing wires in the vicinity where future trenching or digging may occur as this
can damage the connections.
Wiring of Optional Third Party Components to Controller
The WI15VZ-1 Controller has provisions for a number of additional components.
Each component has two terminal connections. See the figure below for more
details. Be sure to run the wires from the terminals, thru the cable guide on the
lower edge of the controller (See Figure 6 and 6A).

command of the controller.
1. With your controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the push button.
2. You should see an indication on your controller that the “device was
added” to the network and the Green LED will blink 3 times.
3. The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.
If the controller shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.
Adding to a Network
✓ NOTE: If you have trouble adding the GoControl Irrigation Controller to a
group it may be that the Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it
after testing. You must first “RESET UNIT” to remove it from the network.
Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it from
a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group, it
functions as a repeater (only). “RESET UNIT” removes it completely from
the network.
To Reset Unit (If Required):
In the event that your primary controller is lost or otherwise inoperable, to reset
the GoControl Irrigation Controller and clear all network information, follow
these steps:
1. Tap the push button five (5) times.
2. Then press and hold the push button for 15 seconds. The LED will
increasingly blink faster to indicate that a Reset is taking place.
Removing from a Network:
The GoControl Irrigation Controller can be removed from the network by the
controller. Refer to the controller operating instructions for details.
1. Set the controller into Removal Mode and follow its instruction to delete it
from the controller.
2. Remove the switch by tapping the push button 2 times.
3. You should see an indication on your controller that the “device was
removed” from the network and the Green LED will blink 3 times.
LED Status
1. Pushing the button on the WI15VZ-1, will get the Irrigation Controller to
associate with the Z-Wave hub (Figure 8).
2. The LED should be red when first powered
✓ NOTE: Before the LED shows solid RED, it may go through a flashing
sequence for self test..
3. When the button is pushed it will blink green then alternate between green
and orange, then go solid green.

OPERATION
The WI15Z-1 is designed to run the irrigation system based on your preprogrammed schedule. Utilizing your Z-Wave hub, you can create this schedule.
It will be saved in the WI15Z-1 and run automatically unless an Interrupt is sent
received.
In the event that your hub does not support schedules, or no schedule is
programmed into the Irrigation Controller, each valve can run independently
and be triggered as part of a scene. See your hub instructions on how to
configure the system to operate in this manner.
To trigger a specific valve that is connected to the WI15Z-1, use the control
application associated to you Z-Wave hub.
Weather / Optional Water Sensor Interrupt
The WI15Z-1 can take instructions from your Hub to not run the pre-determined
irrigation schedule. In the event that your local weather causes the WI15Z-1 to
not run the re-determined irrigation schedule, the LED will blink red / green for
as long as the valves are supposed to be running. Once the valves are turned
off, it will stop blinking.
All Stop
In the event that you wish to stop the scheduled running of the irrigation
controller, press the User Button on the front of the WI15Z-1.
The LED will blink Orange for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds it will continue to
blink Orange until the user presses the Button again, or the Hub tells it to go
back to normal mode.
Valve Fault Detection
The WI15Z-1 can detect if a valve is disconnected or has damaged or shorted
control wires. In the event that a Fault is detected, the LED will blink Red as
long as the valve is running. Once the valve is turned off, it will stop blinking
Red.
Power Fault Detection
The WI15Z-1 can determine if there is a problem with the power provided by
the power supply. In the event that a Fault is detected, the LED will blink Red/
Orange until the problem is corrected.
