ZW38 Smart PLUG-IN APPLIANCE MODULE
Willis’s family of Z-Wave credited wireless lighting controls (switches, dimmers, outlets and
plug-in modules) brings a new level of intelligent wireless capability to commercial and
residential environments.
The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote home automation,
security and other applications. Embedded in each device, the Z-Wave smart chip enables
two-way RF communication among hundreds of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing products and
services from multiple manufacturers to work seamlessly.
Willis Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create an integrated wireless
network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability with security and health monitoring
systems, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.
This product supports 40Kbps data transmission. This product can also be used for network
support in systems that stream metadata. An example might include transmission of information
from audio devices such as song title, artist, and album information to various displays around the
home. As part of a Z-Wave network, the ZW38will act as a wireless repeater to insure that
commands intended for another device in the network are received. This is useful when the device
would otherwise be out of the radio range of the wireless controller.
INSTALLATION
Plug this Appliance Module into the wall outlet near the load to be controlled, and plug the load
into the Appliance Module. Make sure the load to be controlled is 10 amps or less.
INCLUDING ZW38TO THE NETWORK
STEP 1. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network, by adding it to a group (method of
adding a node to the network). Refer to controller instructions.
STEP 2. The ZW38must be in its permanently installed location. Tap the button on the ZW38once.
STEP 3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “DEVICE WAS INCLUDED”
in the network.
NOTE: If you have trouble adding the ZW38to a group it may be that the Home ID and Node ID
were not cleared from it after testing. You must fi rst “RESET UNIT” with your controller to
remove it from the network. Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it
from a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group, it functions only as a
repeater
BASIC OPERATION
Button (Local Control)
The button on the ZW38allows the user to:
• Turn the attached load on or off.
• Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system.
When a controller prompts you to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button
on Unit”, quickly tap the button once to satisfy those instructions.
Tapping button toggles the load attached ON or OFF.
Remote Control
The ZW38will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of the Z-Wave system.
Refer to your controller’s instructions as to whether your controller can transmit those commands.
All On/All Off
The ZW38supports the ALL ON/ALL OFF commands.
The ZW38can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands
4 different ways. Refer to your controller for information on how to set
the ZW38to operate in the manner you desire. Some controllers may
be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL OFF response. The
4 different ways the ZW38can be set up to respond to ALL ON and
ALL OFF commands are:
• ZW38will not respond to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.
• ZW38will respond to ALL OFF command but will not respond to
ALL ON command.
• ZW38will respond to ALL ON command but will not respond to
ALL OFF command.
• ZW38will respond to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.
Manufacturer Specifi c
The ZW38supports the Manufacturer Specifi c command. The
ZW38can return Manufacturer Specifi c information about itself.
Refer to your Controller’s instructions on how to get this information
from the ZW38.
SUC Support
There must be a Static Update Controller in your Z-Wave system for
this feature to work. The Static Controller can act as a gateway in the
system, since other nodes always know its position (not moved after
addition to the network. The “always listening” advantage of the Static
Controller is that other nodes can transmit information frames to it
whenever needed. You can assign an “SUC Route” to the ZW38.
Refer to your controller’s instructions on how to do this (if it supports it).
Assigning an SUC Route to the ZW38allows it to request an update
of the Z-Wave devices that are between it and the Z-Wave device to
which it was trying to transmit. The ZW38will only request an update
when a transmission fails. Confi guration
The ZW38supports the Confi guration command.
The ZW38can be confi gured to operate slightly differently that it
works when you fi rst install it. Using the confi guration command you can
confi gure the following (if your controller supports it) Set this parameter
to 1 for normal ON/OFF operation. Set this parameter to 0 to enable
fl ash mode which operates as follows:
• With Parameter 104 value set to 0, relay is closed and
ZW38defaults to ON (relay closed)
• Whenever the ZW38receives a Z-Wave ON command,
the ZW38will begin cycling its output relay on and off
approximately once per second (1/2 second Off, 1/2 second
On) for 20 seconds.
• If at any time during that 20 seconds, the ZW38receives
a Z-Wave OFF command, the ZW38will stop cycling its
output relay and default to ON.
• At any time during that 20 seconds, if the ZW38receives a
Z-Wave ON command, the ZW38will add an additional 20
seconds on/off cycling of its output relay. At the end of the 20
seconds, the ZW38will again default to ON (relay closed).
• At any other time, if the ZW38receives an OFF command,
it will have no effect and the ZW38remains ON. INTEROPERABILITY WITH Z-WAVE™
DEVICES
A Z-Wave™ network can integrate devices of various classes, and
these devices can be made by different manufacturers. The ZW38
can be incorporated into existing Z-Wave™networks. The button on the
face of the ZW38can be used to carry out inclusion (add to a group),
association (operate coincidently with other nodes), exclusion (remove
from a group) or reset.

IMPORTANT !!!
Willis radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important need in portable
wireless
signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations
as Part 15
devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by
radio signals
that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected
interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale
distributor or
dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
