NOTE: This module must be “included in the Network” 

only where it will be permanently installed.

 The proper operation of this node in the 

mesh network  is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes. You cannot “test bench” configure this module.

NWT00Z WALL MOUNTED TRANSMITTER

NuTone’s family of Z-Wave

®

 certified 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.
NuTone 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.

INSTALLATION

DANGER! SHOCK HAZARD.

 Read and understand these instructions before 

installing. 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. 
Retain instructions for future use. 

Wiring

With power off, wire this NWT00Z according to the diagram shown above. If more than one 
NWT00Z is to be installed in a wall box, scored tabs on the side can be broken off by bending 
back and forth with pliers, to accommodate proper fit. Apply power when completed.

INCLUDING NWT00Z TO THE NETWORK

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.

2.  The NWT00Z must be in its permanently installed location. 

Tap either the top or 

bottom of the NWT00Z once.

3. 

You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was included” in the network.

 

NOTE: 

If you have trouble adding the NWT00Z to a group it may be that the Home ID 

and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must first “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 as a repeater (only). “RESET UNIT” removes it 
completely from the network.

Before you can control Z-Wave devices you must associate the devices you want to control 
from the NWT00Z.

Associating Z-Wave devices to control from the NWT00Z

Refer to your controllers instructions to find out how to associate Z-Wave devices. You can 
associate another Z-Wave device to the NWT00Z.

Group 1 Support

Nodes in this group are turned ON by tapping the top of the paddle or OFF by tapping the 
bottom of the paddle. Nodes associated into this group are dimmed by pressing and holding 
the bottom of the paddle until the desired dim level is reached or brightened by pressing and 
holding the top of the paddle until the desired level is reached.

INTEROPERABILITY WITH Z-WAVE DEVICES

A Z-Wave network can integrate devices of various classes of products, and these devices 
can be made by different manufacturers. The NWT00Z has Z-Wave certification which 
guarantees interoperability.

CONFIGURATION

The NWT00Z supports the Configuration command.

 The NWT00Z simulates the operation 

of a dimmer. Using configuration commands you can adjust the dimming parameters as 
though it were a dimmer. The NWT00Z can be configured to operate slightly differently than 
how it works when you first install it.
Using the configuration command you can change the following:

Set Ignore Start Level Bit When Transmitting Dim Commands

The NWT00Z can send Dim commands to Z-Wave enabled dimmers. The Dim command has 
a start level embedded in it. A dimmer receiving this command will start dimming from that 
start level if this bit is set to 0. If the bit is set to 1, the dimmer will ignore the start level and 
instead start dimming from its current level. To change this option, set this parameter.

•  Parameter No: 1 

•  Length: 1 Byte 

•  Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)

 

NOTE:

 Many Z-Wave enabled dimmers have the configuration option to ignore the 

start level no matter how you configure the NWT00Z

Night Light

The LED on the NWT00Z will by default, turn ON when the status of the devices in Group 1 
is ON. To make the LED turn ON when the status of Group 1 is OFF set this parameter to a 
value of 1.

•  Parameter No: 3 

•  Length: 1 Byte 

•  Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)

Invert Switch

To change the top of the transmitter to OFF and the bottom of the transmitter to ON, set this 
parameter to 1.

•  Parameter No: 4 

•  Length: 1 Byte 

•  Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 0)

Ignore Start Level When Receiving Dim Commands

The NWT00Z can send Dim commands to Z-Wave enabled dimmers. The Dim command 
has a start level embedded in it. A dimmer receiving this command will start dimming from 
that start level. However, the command can be sent so that the dimmer ignores the start level 
and instead start dimming from its current level. By default, the NWT00Z sends the command 
so that the dimmer will start dimming from its current dim level rather then the start level 
embedded in the command. To change this option, set this parameter to 0.

•  Parameter No: 5 

•  Length: 1 Byte 

•  Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)

 

NOTE:

 This only affects a level that is reported or possibly sent by the NWT00Z since 

the NWT00Z does not control a load.

Resetting to Defaults

Each Configuration Parameter can be set to its default setting by setting the default bit in 
the Configuration Set command. See your controller’s instructions on how to do this (and if 
it supports it).
All Configuration commands will be reset to their default state when the NWT00Z is excluded 
from the Z-Wave network by using the controller to reset the node.
