Glossary
Device or Node
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe
an individual ZWave 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.

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. The
following section will guide you through the set up processes for your
ZRC-100.
Please note that all Z-Wave devices, light switches, dimmers, shutter
switches, thermostat and secure door lock made from various vendors
are compatible with your ZRC-100 as long as they carry the Z-Wave
logo:
(Please carefully read through the following then store the manual for
future reference.)
Before using the ZRC-100, please install the batteries:
• 4xAAA batteries are required for operation.
• Remove the battery cover on the back of your remote.

Re-scan (Rediscover) Devices from network
In most cases, your home Z-Wave gateway will become a primary
controller (control center), all Z-Wave devices will be added /
(inclusion) by the Z-Wave gateway. Normally, it is need to click the
PROG button of the Z-Wave device to add into the network and one by
one. The gateway will create a control page / section to Z-Wave
devices. User can control / monitor Z-Wave devices under the control
page.
ZRC-100 is able to discover all existing Z-Wave devices from the
network and no need to click the PROG button one by one, discovered
devices will be re-assigned to their default categories (Devices,
Comforts and Sensors), and names will be re-assigned in ascending
order which is implemented by the function of “Re-scan Devices”.
To implement this function, your ZRC-100 is needed to follow below
steps:
1) Assume all Z-Wave devices have been added by gateway
2) ZRC-100 should become a secondary controller (receive all
network and device information from a primary controller),
please refer to “Learning Mode” section in this manual.
3) Execute the “Re-scan Devices” function with below steps.

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.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Z-Wave Frequently Asked Questions
Q Why won’t my remote work with the Z-Wave devices I
purchased from another country?
A Due to different countries regulations Z-Wave products from
different regions are set to different frequencies. Before purchasing
new devices make sure you have checked that the device is
compatible in your region.
Q Do I need an electrician to install Z-Wave products in my
house?
