The ZWL-APS is a battery-operated wireless device that operates as an accessory in a Z-Wave network.  It will control

associated dimmers or switches and their lighting loads.  You can create a 3-way where a second location is not currently 

available without having to add new electrical wiring.  This product works with other Z-Wave products from different vendors 

and product categories as part of the same network.  This product is not a listening node as it is a battery powered device and 

goes to sleep to conserve battery life.  Therefore it will not perform the repeater function typical of other Z-Wave devices.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT:

2 CR2025 batteries are included with each ZWL-APS.  Lift the battery latch with a 

screwdriver to open the battery cover.  Remove the plastic strips from under the

batteries.  Observe polarity when installing the batteries. Be careful to insert the

batteries under the 4 small plastic tabs in the battery compartment.  Re-latch the

battery cover.  After the batteries are successfully installed, the LED on the ZWL-APS 

will blink for one minute to indicate the device in not included in the RF network.  The 

device will go to sleep after one minute to conserve battery life.  When not installed, 

pressing the ON/OFF button again will wake up the device, and the LED will resume 

blinking for one minute to remind the installer that the device is still not installed 

in the RF network.  With normal usage (up to 20 keypresses per day) battery life is 

expected to be 1-2 years.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Attach the ZWL-APS to any flat surface using the double-sided tape provided, or mount it to the wall using the screws and 

anchors provided.  NOTE: Do not install an ZWL-APS over an electrical box.  The device must be installed onto a flat surface.  

Do not install on a metal surface since this will impede the RF signal.

Z-WAVE NETWORK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The ZWL-APS can be used as an accessory device which can be included in a new or existing network by using your Z-Wave 

controller.  To include as an accessory device, select the command on your controller for inclusion (Install, Add Device, Add 

Node, Include Device, etc.), then press the Battery Operated Switch on/off button one time to include it in the network.  The 
LED will blink a few times and then stop blinking after the device is successfully included 

in the network.
