Model: 45606
Z-Wave, RF Controlled, 500W, 120 VAC, Two Wire, Wall Mounted Dimmer/Switch and Transceiver
Thank you for your purchase of a GE SmartHome™ Z-Wave® control device. Z-Wave technology is designed to
automate lighting/home control and provide easy remote operation of all your Z-wave enabled devices. The GE Z-
Wave product family includes a variety of devices to enable and control lighting in your home. It is up to you
whether you want to control one room or your entire house and whether you want to do it all now or start with one
room and add more over time.
This dimmer is one component of a Z-Wave® control system and is designed to work with all other Z-Wave enabled
devices in a home control network. It will also act as a wireless repeater to insure that commands intended for
another device in the network are received, thereby extending the range of the wireless controller. Z-Wave devices
of other types and brands can be added to the system and will also act as range extenders if they support this
function of repeating the signal received to other nodes in the system.
CAUTION! This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local
regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. It is
recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation.
This dimmer switch is designed for use only with permanently installed incandescent lighting fixtures. Do not use it
to control fluorescent lighting, transformer supplied lighting/appliances, motorized appliances or receptacles. The
incandescent lighting controlled by this dimmer switch must not exceed a total of 500 watts.
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit.
INSTALLATION
This dimmer switch may be used in new installations or to replace an existing wall switch (incandescent lighting
only).
Need new diagram
WARNING! SHOCK HAZARD! Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit for the switch and lighting fixture at the
service panel. All wiring connections must be made with the POWER OFF to avoid personal injury and/or damage
to the dimmer switch.

Single, Dual and Triple Gang Boxes
The metal plate surrounding the switch assembly is a heat sink. The maximum load rating (500W) is provided
when installed in a single gang box with the full heat sink. If necessary, one or both sides of the heat sink may be
removed but there is a corresponding reduction in the switch’s load rating.
• 400W maximum with one side removed
• 300W maximum with both sides removed
Multiple 45606 Dimmer Switches may be installed in dual or triple gang boxes however, Do Not exceed the
following loads:
• 300W for each of the two 45606 dimmer switches
• 200W for each of the three 45606 dimmer switches
1. Strip 3/4" of insulation from the ends of the conductors and connect as shown in the wiring diagram. Note that
the line (hot) side of the load must be switched and that the connection to Neutral is required.
2. Check the connections to be sure they are tight and no bare conductors are exposed.
3. Make sure the total load does not exceed the dimmer switch’s rating as listed above.
4. Turn On the power.
Use your primary controller to include the dimmer switch in the home control network after the dimmer switch is
wired as shown in the above diagram,. It can then be added to groups and/or lighting scenes and managed
remotely to control the On/Off status and brightness level of the connected incandescent lighting.
Air Gap Switch
During normal operation, there is a small amount of power passing through the switch to the load even when the
dimmer switch is turned off. The 45606 has an air gap switch on the lower left side (see diagram for location) to
completely disconnect power to the load. Pull the air gap switch OUT to disconnect the power while replacing light
bulbs and push it all the way back in for normal operation. The air gap switch must be all the way in for the dimmer
to function and control the lighting.
BASIC OPERATION
Manual Control
The 45606 dimmer switch allows the user to:
Turn ON/OFF and control the brightness level of the connected incandescent lighting.
• Tap the top of the rocker to turn the connected lighting ON.
• Tap the bottom of the rocker to turn the connected lighting OFF.
• Press and hold the top of the rocker to brighten the connected lighting; release when desired level is
achieved
• Press and hold the bottom of the rocker to dim the connected lighting; release when desired level is
achieved
• When OFF, pressing and holding the bottom of the rocker will cause the lighting to go to the minimum dim
level.
Include or exclude the dimmer switch from the Z-Wave home control network.
• Refer to the instructions for your primary controller to access the network setup function and include or
exclude devices.
• When prompted by your primary controller, tap the top or bottom of the rocker.
• The primary controller should indicate that the action was successful. If the controller indicates the action
was unsuccessful, please repeat the procedure.
• Once the dimmer switch is part of the network, the same basic procedure is used to add the dimmer switch
to groups or scenes. Refer to the primary controller’s instructions for details.
Please Note: After a power failure, the 45606 dimmer switch defaults to OFF.

LED Indicator
The LED will be lit when the connected lighting is OFF.
This is the factory default setting and can be changed if your primary controller supports the node configuration
function. See the section on “Configuration” for details
ADVANCED OPERATION
The following Advanced Operation parameters require that you have an advanced controller like the GE model
45601 LCD remote. Advanced remotes from other manufacturers may also be able to change these settings;
however, basic remotes do not have this capability.
All On/All Off
Depending upon your primary controller, the 45606 dimmer switch can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF
commands in up to four different ways. Some controllers may not be able to change the response from its default
setting. Please refer to your controller’s instructions for information on whether or not it supports the configuration
function and if so, how to change this setting.
The four possible responses are:
It will respond to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command (default).
It will not respond to ALL ON or ALL OFF commands.
It will respond to the ALL OFF command but will not respond to the ALL ON command.
It will respond to the ALL ON command but will not respond to the ALL OFF command.
Configuration
A number of settings on the 45606 dimmer switch can be changed to accommodate personal preferences.
Please note: Not all controllers are capable of this; your controller must be designed to perform this
function. The SmartHome Controller, #45601, is designed to do this. Use its “Setup Menu”, “Config Unit”
to change the configuration of devices.
Configuration Functions
LED Light
When shipped from the factory, the LED on the 45606 is set to turn ON when the connected light is turned OFF.
This allows the LED to indicate the switch’s location in a dark room. To make the LED turn ON when the light is
turned ON, change parameter 3’s value to “0”.
• Parameter No: 3
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
Invert Switch
If the dimmer switch is accidentally installed upside down with “On” at the bottom and “Off” at the top, the default
On/Off rocker settings can be reversed by changing parameter 4’s value to “1”.
• Parameter No: 4
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)
Dim Rate Adjustments
Both the number of steps (or levels) that the dimmer will change and the timing of the steps can be modified to suit
personal preferences. The timing of the steps can be adjusted in 10 millisecond intervals. As an example, the
default setting for parameter 8 is “3”. This means that the lighting level will change every 30 milliseconds when the
Dim Command is received. A value of 255 would mean that the level would change every 2.55 seconds.
Combined, the two parameters allow dim rate adjustments from 10 milliseconds to 4.2 minutes to go from
maximum-to-minimum or minimum-to-maximum brightness levels.

Ignore Start Level When Receiving Dim Commands
Please note: Every “Dim” command includes a start level embedded in it.
The 45606 can be set to ignore the start level that is part of the dim command. Setting parameter 5 to a value of 0
will cause the 45606 to dim or brighten from the start level embedded in the command.
• Parameter No: 5
• Length: 1 Byte
• Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)
Restoring Factory Defaults
All Configuration Parameters can all be restored to their factory default settings by using your master controller to
reset the device. Please note: The model #45601 controller is designed to do this. Use the controller’s
“Setup / Reset Unit” menu to restore defaults. Not all controllers are capable of this; your controller must
be designed to perform this function.
Interoperability with Z-Wave™ Devices
A Z-Wave™ network can integrate devices of various classes, and these devices can be made by different
manufacturers. Although every Z-Wave certified product is designed to work with all other Z-Wave certified
products, your controller must include the appropriate device classifications in order to control non-lighting Z-wave
devices. As an example, the GE 45600 basic remote is designed only for controlling Z-Wave devices using the
lighting control classification. The GE 45601 deluxe remote with LCD readout can control other Z-Wave certified
devices like thermostats as well as lighting.
