Z-WAVE PLUS FEATURES
The PD300EMZ5-1 contains a Z-Wave 500 Series Module that supports Z-Wave Plus®
features. A Z-Wave certifi ed portable or stationary Controller can communicate with the Z-Wave
500 Series Module.
Depending on the capability of the Controller or gateway software, the following operations can
be performed with the PD300EMZ5-1. Refer to the Controller or gateway manual for details.
• Turn the load ON and OFF.
• Add or Remove the PD300EMZ5-1.
• Assign the PD300EMZ5-1 to a specific Group/Scene and/or to include the load as part of
ALL ON or ALL OFF system commands.
• 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.
• Monitors the amount of energy being used and reports the current usage to the Z-Wave
controller
INSTALLATION
Adding to a network:
Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the command of the
Wireless Controller.
1. With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the button on the face of the outlet. The
LED will blink slowly when in ADD Mode.
2. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was added” to the network
and the LED will stop blinking.
3. The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.
If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.
✓NOTE: If you have trouble adding the PD300EMZ5-1 to a group it may be that the Home ID
and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must fi rst “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 PD300EMZ5-1 and clear
all network information, follow these steps:
1. Tap the button on the face of the outlet five (5) times.
2. Press and hold the button for 15 seconds. The LED will increasingly blink faster to indicate that a Reset
is taking place.
3. LED will turn off when reset is complete.
Removing from a network:
The PD300EMZ5-1 can be removed from the network by the Controller/Gateway. Refer to the
Controller operating instructions for details.
1. Set the Controller into Removal Mode and follow its instruction to delete the PD300EMZ5-1
from the Controller.
2. Remove the switch by tapping the button on the face of the outlet 2 times. The LED will begin
blinking slowly for 10 seconds indicating that it has been removed.
3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was removed” from the
network.
BASIC OPERATION
Local Control
The button on the PD300EMZ5-1 allows the user to:
• Pressing and holding the button will dim or brighten the load attached.
• Turn the attached load on or off.
• Tapping the button on the face of the outlet turns the load attached ON to OFF.
Load Sense
Load Sense, when enabled, will turn the PD300EMZ5-1 on without having to use the Controller’s
application or pressing the button. When the attached load is turned OFF then ON, the
PD300EMZ5-1 will turn ON.
Parameter Length Valid Values Confi guration Option
29 1 Byte 0Load Sense Disabled
1 Load Sense Enabled (default)
Night Light
To act as a night light, the LED on the PD300EMZ5-1 will turn ON when the load attached is
OFF. However, the LED can be user confi gured to turn ON, when the load attached is ON, if so
desired. See “CONFIGURATION” section.
Energy Monitoring
PD300EMZ5-1eports the total accumulated Kilowatt Hours (kWh) and the instantaneous Watts
being consumed by the load.
Parameter Length Valid Values Confi guration Option
13 1 Byte
0Automatic reporting OFF
1-255 Number of minutes between
automatic reporting (Default = 6)
Confi guration Parameter 13 confi gures the rate at which the energy readings are reported. If
the maximum kWh value that can be reported is reached (21,474 kWh), then it will remain at the
maximum level until reset to 0.
To reset, the total accumulated kWh used by the PD300EMZ5-1 the Z-Wave controller needs
to send a reset command at the request of the user. It will also be reset if the PD300EMZ5-1 is
excluded from the Z-Wave network using the Controller software.
The Watts reading provides the immediate reading of the power being consumed by the load.
The Watts reading takes several seconds to settle so wait a few seconds before reading the
energy value when the state of the switch (on / off) has changed.
Remote Control
The PD300EMZ5-1 will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of the Z-Wave
system. Refer to your Controller’s instructions as to whether your Controller can transmit those
commands.
Protection Mode
The PD300EMZ5-1 supports Protection Mode that is used to disable the button on the front
of the device. This eliminates inadvertent activation of the switch. To enable Protection Mode,
press the button on the PD300EMZ5-1 three times quickly. The LED will blink Purple twice
showing that Protection Mode has been enabled. When Enabled the only way to turn ON or
OFF the PD300EMZ5-1 is through the Z-Wave controller or Mobile app. If the button on the
PD300EMZ5-1 is pressed, the LED will blink Purple twice and have no impact on the attached
device. To exit Protection Mode, press the button three times.
Associations
The PD300EMZ5-1 supports one Group with fi ve Nodes for lifeline communication. Group
1 must be assigned the Node ID of the Controller to which unsolicited notifi cations from the
PD300EMZ5-1 will be sent. The Z-Wave Controller should set this Association automatically
after inclusion. You can associate up to fi ve Z-Wave devices to Group 1.
For instructions on how to “set Lifeline Association” please refer to your wireless Controller
instructions.
Removing Associations
To remove the Associations, if the Controller has recognized the Associations, refer to the
Z-Wave Controller’s instructions on how to remove Associations. If the Controller has not
recognized the Associations, removing the PD300EMZ5-1 from the Z-Wave network will
eliminate the Associations.

commands are:
1. Responds to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.
2. Responds to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.
3. Responds to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.
4. Responds to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.
CONFIGURATION
Adjusting Dim Rate
Dim Level
The brightness setting of the Dimmer is called the Dim Level. When the Dim Level is adjusted,
the rate that Dim Level changes depends on the Dim Step (Parameter 7) and Dim Timer
(Parameter 8) values. These values can be changed instantly to allow various scenes and
effects. These values can also vary between local control, remote commands from the hub or
associated device and ALL ON/OFF commands.
Dim Step (remote and local)
Dim Step can be set to a value of 1 to 99. This value indicates how many levels the dimmer
will change each time the Dim Timer expires.
Dim Timer (remote and local)
The Dim Timer (how fast the dim steps happen). It can be set to a value of 1 to 255. This value
indicates in 10 millisecond resolution, how often the dim level will change.
Examples:
• If the Dim Timer parameter value is set to 1, every 10mS the Dim Level will change by the
Dim Step value.
• If the Dim Timer parameter value is set to 255, every 2.55 seconds the Dim Level will change
by the Dim Step value.
With the combination of the two parameter values that control the dim rate, the dimmer can
be adjusted to dim from maximum to minimum or minimum to maximum at various speeds
between 10 millisecond and 252.45 seconds (over 4.25 minutes).

3 LED is always off
4LED blinks during RF transmissions from or
to the device
Over-The-Air (OTA) Update
A Quadruple tap of the switch enables the fi rmware update mode. Firmware update mode
must be entered before the system Controller sends the fi rmware update command to begin
downloading new fi rmware. Firmware update mode is enabled for 60 seconds after the
quadruple tap. If the Firmware update does not begin before the end of the 60 seconds then
fi rmware update mode is exited returns to normal operation. The LED “winks” twice per second
indicating it is in fi rmware update mode.
Resetting to Defaults
Each confi guration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting the default bit
in the Confi guration Set command. See your Controller’s instructions on how to do this
(and if it supports it). All confi guration commands will be reset to their default state when the
PD300EMZ5-1 is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using the Controller to reset the node.
