5 Glossary Device or Node Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual ZWave device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave network. Inclusion Add a Z-Wave device to the network. Exclusion Delete a Z-Wave device from the network. Remove To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network. Z-Wave Network A collection of Z-Wave devices controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control the system. Primary Controller The first controller used to set up your devices and network. Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or delete modules from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your network. Secondary Controller A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot include or delete modules to the network. Inclusion Controller A controller containing network information about other modules within the network and is used for controlling devices. Inclusion controller is created from the Primary Controller in a SIS enabled Z-Wave network. Inclusion Controller has the ability to add and remove devices from the network. Scene A collection of Z-Wave devices configured to turn to a specific level, setting, mode, or perform an operation. Scenes are usually activated by a controller, timed event, or specific conditions.
6 ZRC-100 Operations Welcome to the world of Z-Wave home automation, your ZRC-100 will be able to control all the Z-Wave products around your house.

48 WIRELESS INFORMATION Wireless range: This device has an open air line of sight transmission distance of 100 feet which complies with the Z-Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on the amount of objects in between Z-Wave devices such as walls and furniture. Every Z-Wave device set up in your house will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot. Radio frequency limitations: 1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can reduce the maximum range of 65 feet by up to 25 to 30%. 2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then concrete, brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on signal strength. 3. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range as they are housed in metal junction boxes which could reduce the range by up to 25 to 30%. MAINTENANCE 1 Do not expose your remote to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high temperatures or mechanical shocks. 2 Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to leak. 3 Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your remote. 4 Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. 5 Do not disassemble your remote controller, it contains no user-serviceable parts.
