BASIC OPERATION
Button (Local Control)
The button on the PD300Z-2 allows the user to turn ON, OFF, or DIM and
BRIGHTEN the load attached to the controlled outlet.
• Tapping button toggles the load attached ON or OFF.
• Pressing and holding the button will dim or brighten the load attached.
• Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system.
When a Controller prompts to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button on Unit”,
quickly tap the button once to satisfy those instructions. (Tapping the button
also toggles the load attached ON or OFF.)
Remote Control
The PD300Z-2 will respond to Basic, Multilevel, and Scene Activation
commands that are part of the Z-Wave system. Refer to your Controller’s
instructions as to whether your Controller can transmit those commands.
Operation Note
When a light bulb reaches the end of it’s life and burns out, it sometimes creates
a momentary short circuit. The high current that results may cause the dimmer
to respond by turning off. Should this happen, replace the bulb with a new one.
The dimmer can now be operated to restore power to the light.
ADVANCED OPERATION
Protection
The PD300Z-2 supports the Protection Command.
The module can be set
to any one of three Protection modes by a Z-Wave Controller. Refer to your
Controller for information on how to set the various modes of Protection. Some
Controllers may only be able to set certain settings of Protection. Regardless of
the Protection setting, the module will operate normally when using the Controller.
• When Protection is set to
No Protection
, the unit works normally, the
module will turn on and off with the button on the unit.
• When Protection is set to
Child Protection
, press the button on the module
three times rapidly to control the attached load.
• When Protection is set to
Button Disabled
, the button will not work to
turn the attached load on or off. The button can still be used to access the
Z-Wave network.
All On/All Off
The PD300Z-2 supports the ALL ON / ALL OFF commands.
The module
can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands four different ways.
Refer to your Controller for information on how to set the module to operate
in the manner you desire. Some Controllers may be only able to set certain
settings of ALL ON / ALL OFF response.
The four different ways the module can be setup are:
• Module responds to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.
• Module responds to ALL OFF command but will not to ALL ON command.
• Module responds to ALL ON command but will not to ALL OFF command.
• Module does not respond to ALL ON or ALL OFF command.
Manufacturer Specifi c
The PD300Z-2 supports the Manufacturer Specifi c command.
The module
can return Manufacturer Specifi c information about itself to the Controller. Refer
to your Controller’s instructions on how to get this information from the module.
CONFIGURATION
The PD300Z-2 supports the Confi guration command.
The module can

it. Using the confi guration command you can confi gure the following (if your
controller supports it).

IMPORTANT !!!
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.
