To take a device out of a group, scene or
association group while that device still
exists in the same 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Scene, Association Group, Primary Controller and Secondary
Controller. These concepts are all setup on the LCD of your ZRC-100.
A single Z-Wave network can include 232 nodes. If necessary, more
than one network can be bridged to extend the number of nodes further,
although this is normally not needed in a residential environment.
The total number of controllable End-point (EP) / device / sensor is
128 items which is listed on the “Device” and “Sensor” page. ZRC-100
also supports 6 thermostats which are listed on the “Comfort” page.
You can control up to 12 scenes (Scene On/Off) with your ZRC-100.
Each Scene supports up to 32 Z-Wave devices or End-point (EP).
Remark:

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
Do not expose your remote to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high
temperatures or mechanical shocks.
Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to
leak.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your remote.
Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not disassemble your remote controller, it contains no userserviceable parts.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Z-Wave Frequently Asked Questions
Why won’t my remote work with the Z-Wave devices I
purchased from another country?
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.
Do I need an electrician to install Z-Wave products in my
house?
Installation can be simple. In some cases all you need to do is
attach the Z-Wave plug in module into the wall socket. For more
advanced in-wall modules you may need this done by a qualified
technician.

Q
What can the Remotec ZRC-100 do for me?
A single Z-Wave network can include 232 nodes. If necessary,
more than one network can be bridged to extend the number of
nodes further, although this is normally not needed in a residential
environment.
The total number of controllable End-point (EP) / device / sensor
is 128 items which is listed on the “Device” and “Sensor” page.
ZRC-100 also supports 6 thermostats which are listed on the
“Comfort” page. You can control up to 12 scenes (Scene On/Off)
with your ZRC-100. Each Scene supports up to 32 Z-Wave
devices or End-point (EP).
It is able to control the Z-Wave lighting devices (Dimmer or
Switch) with multi-channel, window shades, thermostats, Z-Wave
to AC IR extender and door lock. Also, it is support Multi-level
Sensor and that can show the current room temperature on the
screen.
Q What is multi-channel device?
A The multi-channel command class used to control one or more end
points in a given device that supports this command class.
There are several kinds of multi-channel products in the market
such as Z-Wave wall switch / dimmer and power strip. It is able to
control the end-point individually.

Why do I need a different module for outdoor lighting?
The outdoor module is designed to withstand various weather
conditions including heat, rain and snow.
Can I use 2 or more ZRC-100 controllers in my house at one
time?
You can use multiple ZRC-100 around your house by assigning
one remote to be the primary remote and have an additional
secondary controller.
If I lost my ZRC-100 will I also lose my settings?
Yes and no, if you lose your primary ZRC-100 you will need to
add all the Z-Wave devices to your new primary remote again. If
you lose the secondary one you can replicate all the Z-Wave setup
information from your primary remote onto a new secondary
remote.
Where can I keep up to date with the latest Z-Wave products
for my house?
You can keep up to date by visiting the www.remotec.com.hk
website where we will have information and ideas for using ZWave technology.
