provided or rated for 9v 500mA.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and
base station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20
cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this
device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance,
operation at closer than this distance is not recommended.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

Z Control
®
Gateway:
The Gateway creates and facilitates a
local wired network between End Point Devices and a wired
or WiFi network with the local Router.
Z Control
®
Cloud:
This is Flint & Walling’s custom cloud
service to which Z Control
®
Enabled devices send and
receive information. The user creates a Z Control
®
Cloud
account which can be configured for custom device settings,
notification, and remote access functionality, such as silencing
alarms and equipment testing.

Z Control
®
Enabled End Point Devices:
These devices are
Z Control
®
Enabled and are able to connect to the Z Control
®
Cloud. Z Control
®
Enabled means that they communicate to
the Cloud and are able to receive commands sent from the
Cloud.
Existing Controls:
These devices are not specifically
Z Control
®
Enabled, but they have a pair of auxiliary outputs
(Dry Contracts, Aux Out, etc.) that can be connected to
the Gateway for alerting purposes. The user can receive
notifications from the Cloud when the Control encounters
a status that triggers its auxiliary output. Controls cannot
receive commands from the Cloud.
Router:
This is an existing device in the user’s home that
handles local network traffic and internet access.
FAQ
1. I purchased a new router. How do I change my WiFi
settings on my Gateway?
The easiest method is to simply reset your Gateway’s WiFi
settings by holding down the Link Button during power up
for 10 seconds. This will erase your WiFi settings and revert
the Gateway back to Access Point mode. Then repeat the
steps in the “WiFi Provisioning” section.
2. How do I reset my Gateway back to factory defaults?
Hold down the Link Button during power up. While holding
the Link Button, press and release the Reset button. This
will remove all Paired Devices and revert settings (including
WiFi) back to factory defaults.

Overview
The Gateway enables the VS Drive in your home to
communicate with the Z Control
®
Cloud. This document will
help you:
1. Create a Local Device Network.
This includes physical
wiring, and “pairing” your Gateway with the End Point
Device(s).
2. Connect the Gateway to your existing Router
with a
wired or WiFi connection.
3. Create an account on the Z Control® Cloud
and “claim”
your device(s).
Once these 3 steps are complete you will be able to remotely
access your device(s), change configuration settings, and
define how the Z Control
®
Cloud should notify you of alerts.
