WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

•	
•	
•

INTRODUCTION
Leviton’s Vizia RF +TM components are designed to communicate
with each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control
of your lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide the
greatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s Vizia RF +TM
component line is a Z-Wave® enabled device. In a Z-Wave® network,
each device is designed to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit
the RF signal from one device to another until the intended device
is reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its intended
device by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.
This 4-Scene Controller is meant to control special scene enabled
Z-Wave® products. To control groups of devices that are mixed or do
not support scene command class use the Leviton 4-Zone Controller
(VRCZ4). Setting up this device requires specific advanced controller
functionalities, your controller must be able to associate device to groups
and must be able to control the scene controller configuration commands
such as the advanced Programming Remote (VRCPG).

Factory Default:
If your 4-Scene controller with switch is not responding, or you are unable to
control it after you have tried to Include/Exclude it multiple times, it may be
necessary to reset the 4-Scene controller with switch to its original factory
settings. To accomplish this, proceed as follows:
•	 On the 4-Scene controller with switch (refer to
figure), press and hold buttons 1 and 3. Wait
approximately 10 seconds until the LED turns
Amber and then turns solid Red. Allow LED's to
blink red twice, release the buttons. The 4-Scene
controller with switch is now reset. Once the
controller is reset, it will be necessary to ReInclude it to a network before it can be used.
CAUTION: SETTING A DEVICE TO A FACTORY
DEFAULT DOES NOT EXCLUDE THAT DEVICE
FROM A NETWORK. THE EXCLUSION
PROCEDURE MUST STILL BE FOLLOWED TO
REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM THE PRIMARY
CONTROLLER’S INFORMATION TABLE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN SYSTEM THAT IS SLOW TO RESPOND, OR MAY FAIL TO
RESPOND TO SOME DEVICES.

Step 10 Device Association:
After inclusion process, you must associate Vizia RF light
switches, to button on the controllers. Refer to the Primary
Programmer/Remote instruction sheet for complete
details.
NOTE: This step requires a controller that can create association lists to
specific groups 1-4.
NOTE: One (1) Z-Wave® light switch can be associated to multiple
controllers (up to five (5) controllers maximum).
NOTE: If using a non-Leviton Programmer/Remote, refer to the
Programmer/Remote instruction sheet for associating a Vizia RF+ light
switch.
NOTE: Your Local switch will be associated by default to button 1.

Step 11

Scene Programming:
NOTE: All devices associated to the buttons must support
Z-Wave® scene command. If a device in the group does not
support the scene command it will not be controlled.
•	Press and hold desired scene button on 4-Scene Controller
until LED blinks Green.
•	Adjust any loads associated to that button by turning ON/
OFF or Dim/Brighten the load .
•	Press button again on 4-Scene Controller and the LED will
stop blinking.
•	The scene has now been set.
