 ON/OFF MODULE 

 

This plug-in ON/OFF Module is a transceiver which is a Z-Wave

TM

 enabled device 

and is fully compatible with any Z-Wave

TM

 enabled network. Z-Wave

TM

 enabled 

devices displaying the Z-Wave

TM

 logo can also be used with it regardless of the 

manufacturer, and ours can also be used in other manufacturer’s Z-Wave

TM

 enabled 

networks. Remote On/Off control of the connected load is possible with other 
manufacturer’s Wireless Controller. Each module is designed to act as a repeater.  
Repeaters will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by its 
intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.   
 
This plug-in ON/OFF Module is able to detect current wattage (5~1440W) and 
overload wattage of connected non-dimmable lights or appliances. When detecting 
overload state, the Module will be disabled and its On/Off button will be locked out of 
which LED will flash quickly for 30 seconds.    However, unplug and re-connect the 
Module will reset its overload condition to normal status. 
 

Include to or Exclude from a Z-Wave

TM

 Network 

 
In the front casing, there is an On/Off button with LED indicator which is used to carry 
out inclusion, exclusion, reset or association. Toggle On/Off button between On and 
Off. When first power is applied, its LED flashes on and off alternately and repeatedly 
at 2-second intervals. It implies that it has not been assigned a node ID and cannot 
work with Z-Wave enabled devices.    Please get familiar with the terms below before 
starting the operations. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Function

 

Description

 

Inclusion 

 

Add a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. On/Off Module) to Z-Wave network.

 

Exclusion 

 

Delete a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. On/Off Module) from the network.

Description

 

Association 

After inclusion, you have to define the relationship between devices. 
Through association, device can be assigned as master/slave, and specify 
which slave is going to be controlled by which master.

 

Reset

 

Restore On/Off Module to factory default.

 

 
The table below lists an operation summary of basic Z-Wave functions.    Please refer 
to the instructions for your Z-Wave

TM

 Certificated Primary Controller to access the 

setup function, and to include/exclude/associate devices.    The module executes the 
function of auto inclusion when… 
 

Auto Inclusion 

 
The function of auto inclusion will be executed as long as the module does not have 
a node ID and in situations where… 
 
1.  The power is first applied. 
2.  The execution of exclusion/reset is successful where the stored node ID is 

cleared. 

 
Note:

 Auto inclusion timeout is 4 minutes during which the node information of 

explorer frame will be emitted once every 5 seconds.  Unlike “inclusion” function as 
shown in the table below, the execution of auto inclusion is free from pressing the 
tamper switch on the unit.
