ADVANCED OPERATION

All On/All Off

The WS15Z-1 supports the ALL ON / ALL OFF commands. The WS15Z-1 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 WS15Z-1 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 WS15Z-1 can be setup to respond to ALL ON and 
ALL OFF commands are:

1. 

Responds to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.

2. 

Responds to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.

3. 

Responds to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.

4. 

Responds to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.

CONFIGURATION

The WS15Z-1 supports the Confi guration  command.

 Each unit can be 

confi gured to operate slightly differently than how it works when you fi rst install 
it.

Using the Confi guration command you can confi gure the following:

Night Light

By default, the LED on the WS15Z-1 will turn OFF when the load attached is 
turned ON. To make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turned ON, set 
Parameter 3 to a value of 1.

Parameter Length Valid Values

is off 

(default - night lite mode)

1

LED ON when the load is on, and OFF when the 
load is off

2

LED is always on

3

LED is always off

4

LED blinks during RF transmissions from or to the 
device

Invert Switch

To change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch ON, set 
Parameter 4 to a value of 1.

Resetting to Defaults

Each confi guration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting 
the default bit in the Confi guration Set command. See your Controller’s 
instructions on how to do this (and if it supports it). All confi guration commands 
will be reset to their default state when the WS15Z-1 is excluded from the 
Z-Wave network by using the Controller to reset the node.

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.
