MOUNTING

The ZW-9 should be located on a secure, flat surface such as a shelf, cabinet or wall, away from other electrical equipment. 

1) Install ZW-9 mounting bracket:

 Anchor the ZW-9 mounting bracket using the two (2) #6-32 flathead screws. Wall 

mounted installations may require the drywall anchor kit (included). 

2) Attach ZW-9 to mounting bracket:

 Align mounting holes located on backside of ZW-9 with mounting bracket tabs 

and slide the unit downward until snug.

POWERING THE ZW-9

The ZW-9 can be powered using the included power supply or Power over Ethernet (PoE).

 • 

Power Supply:

 Plug the power supply (+5VDC, 2A ) to the power jack. 

•  

Ethernet Port (Power over Ethernet):

 Wire a Cat-5 cable from the ZW-9 Ethernet Port to an 802.3af compliant PoE 

switch (Class #2). NOTE: Using a non-compliant PoE device ma

y damage the ZW-9.

COMMUNICATION

The ZW-9 communicates with an RTI XP series control processor via an Ethernet network (LAN).  

1) Connect to the Ethernet network:

 Connect a Cat-5 cable to the ZW-9 Ethernet port and the LAN router/switch. The 

ZW-9 will receive an IP address from the network router via DHCP. The “NET LINK” LED on the front of the ZW-9 will 

blink to indicate a connection to the LAN.

2) Add ZW-9 to the Integration Designer system file:

 Open the Integration Designer system file, click on the XP 

processor and add the ZW-9 as an expansion device under the “Expansion” tab.

3) Enter the MAC address of the ZW-9:

 Click on the ZW-9 and select “Edit Expansion Device” and follow the 

directions on the screen. (The ZW-9 MAC address can be found on a card in the ZW-9 packaging). 

ETHERNET SETTINGS (IP Address)

Setting a static IP address on the ZW-9 is unnecessary and not recommended. For information on IP address settings, visit 

the ZW-9 product support webpage located on the RTI dealer website.

NOTE: If static IP address settings are incorrect the ZW-9 will not operate. 

How to reset ZW-9 to DHCP

If the ZW-9 is not functioning or is not accessible via the LAN it may be necessary to reset the unit to DHCP. 

1) 

Press and hold the RESET button.

2) 

Power the ZW-9 with the power supply.

3) 

Hold the RESET button for 5 seconds.

Z-WAVE NETWORK CONFIGURATION QUICK REFERENCE

For complete instructions on Z-Wave network setup and device programming using the RTI Integration Designer 

programming software, visit the ZW-9 product support webpage located on the RTI dealer website.

• Product Inclusion

    Start the Add/Include process by selecting Device-Add/Include from the Z-Wave Manager main menu or by selecting 

the Add/Include button on the main toolbar. It may take a few moments for the device to show up in the list depending 

on how many devices are already in the network and what type of device is being added. When a device is successfully 

added you will also hear a beep sound from the computer (if PC sound is enabled).

• Product Exclusion

    Start the Remove/Exclude process by selecting Device-Remove/Exclude from the Z-Wave Manager main menu or by 

selecting the Remove/Exclude button on the main toolbar. Once the dialog box appears, activate the exclude process on 

the device (see the device documentation for more details). As devices are removed from the Z-Wave network they are 

removed from the Z-Wave Manager Device List.

ZW-9 Learn Mode

If the ZW-9 is going to be installed in a Z-Wave network with an existing controller, follow these steps to set the learn mode 

as the primary or secondary controller. 

• Adding the ZW-9 as the Primary Controller

    First activate the “include” process on the existing Primary Controller. In the Z-Wave Manager software, select the 

“Become Primary” Learn Mode on the Controller toolbar to activate the ZW-9.

• Adding the ZW-9 as a Secondary Controller

    First activate the “include” process on the existing Primary Controller. In the Z-Wave Manager software, select the 

“Become Secondary” Learn Mode on the Controller toolbar to activate the ZW-9.

The Lifeline Association Group

The ZW-9 supports the Lifeline Association Group.  This enables the RTI control system to receive the critical notifications 

from Z-Wave devices in the network.  Z-Wave Plus devices are automatically associated with the ZW-9 as each is added to 

the network.  Therefore, when a frame is received such as from a smoke alarm, it is passed on to the XP processor for use 

within the RTI system.  The Lifeline Signals are processed just like unsolicited messages.

ZW-9 Reset to Defaults Description

NOTE: Use the reset procedure only when the primary controller is missing or inoperable.

  

Start the ZW-9 reset process by selecting Reset Controller/Start New Installation from the Z-Wave Manager main menu 

or by selecting the Reset Controller/Start New Installation button on the main toolbar. The ZW-9 will become the primary 

controller, all Z-Wave devices will be removed from its memory and a new HomeID will be assigned.
