1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the
network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other
controllers don't manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The
image also shows that its not possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with
static controllers.
Product description
This Insert Switch allows controlling two independent loads both wirelessly via Z-Wave and locally utilizing a
traditional wall switch. Thanks to its calibration technology the device cannot only be used to switch resistive
devices but also works perfectly with many kind of reactive or resistive loads such as fluorescent lights or
LEDs. This insert switch module has a power meter function and is able to measure instant power, voltage,
current, power factor and accumulated power consumption. In addition to this, the device has an overload
protection. The device is placed in a wall box right behind the normal switch. The switch is not longer directly
connected to the load but acts as input device for the insert that is controlling the load. This device is
designed for a 3 wire system and needs a neutral wire in the wall box.
Before Device is installed
Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the radio-actuator, in order to ensure
an error-free functioning.
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation
guidelines/norms may do works with 230?Volt mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the
voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
The product is permitted only for proper use as specified in the user manual. Any kind of guarantee claim
has to be forfeited if changes, modifications or painting are undertaken. The product must be checked for
damages immediately after unpacking. In the case of damages, the product must not be operated in any
case. If a danger-free operation of the equipment cannot be assured, the voltage supply has to be
interrupted immediately and the equipment has to be protected from unintended operation.
