PD300EMZ5-1 PLUG-IN MODULE

The GoControl™ family of Z-Wave® certifi ed wireless lighting products (smart LED fi xtures, 
bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, plug-in modules) Control Products (thermostats, irrigation 
controller and garage door controller)and Sensors (fl ood, leak, alert sounder, motion sensor 
and door/window sensor) bring a new level of intelligent wireless Home Automation capability to 
commercial and residential environments.

The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote home automation, 
security and other applications. This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave 
network with other Z-Wave certifi ed devices from other manufacturers and / or other applications. 
All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to 
increase reliability of the network.

GoControl Z-Wave products are easy to install, are Z-Wave certifi ed, and allow dealers to create 
an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability with security, 
energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.

Z-WAVE PLUS FEATURES

The PD300EMZ5-1 contains a Z-Wave 500 Series Module that supports Z-Wave Plus® 
features. A Z-Wave certifi ed portable or stationary Controller can communicate with the Z-Wave 
500 Series Module.

Depending on the capability of the Controller or gateway software, the following operations can 
be performed with the PD300EMZ5-1. Refer to the Controller or gateway manual for details.

•  Turn the load ON and OFF.
•  Add or Remove the PD300EMZ5-1.
•  Assign the PD300EMZ5-1 to a specific Group / Scene and/or to include the load as part of 

ALL ON or ALL OFF system commands.

•  Over-the-air firmware update by the gateway or static Controller.
•  Lifeline function which automatically notifies the associated modules and the network that 

a manually reset device is no longer in the network, thus, the corresponding association 
becomes invalid.

•  Monitors the amount of energy being used and reports the current usage to the Z-Wave 

controller

INSTALLATION

Adding to a network:

Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the command of the 
Wireless Controller.

1. 

With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the button on the face of the outlet. The 
LED will blink slowly when in ADD Mode.

2. 

You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was added” to the network 
and the LED will stop blinking.

3. 

The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.

If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.

 

NOTE: 

If you have trouble adding the PD300EMZ5-1 to a group it may be that the Home ID 

and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must fi rst “RESET UNIT” 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.

To Reset Unit (If Required):

In the event that your primary Controller is lost or otherwise inoperable, to reset the PD300EMZ5-1 and clear 
all network information, follow these steps:

1. 

Tap the button on the face of the outlet five (5) times.

2. 

Press and hold the button for 15 seconds. The LED will increasingly blink faster to indicate that a Reset 
is taking place.

Removing from a network:

The PD300EMZ5-1 can be removed from the network by the Controller / Gateway. Refer to the 
Controller operating instructions for details.

1. 

Set the Controller into Removal Mode and follow its instruction to delete the PD300EMZ5-1 
from the Controller.

2. 

Remove the switch by tapping the button on the face of the outlet 2 times. The LED will begin 
blinking slowly for 10 seconds indicating that it has been removed.

3. 

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

BASIC OPERATION

Local Control

The button on the PD300EMZ5-1 allows the user to:

•  Pressing and holding the button will dim or brighten the load attached.
•  Turn the attached load on or off.
•  Tapping the button on the face of the outlet turns the load attached ON to OFF.

Load Sense

Load Sense, when enabled, will turn the PD300EMZ5-1 on without having to use the Controller’s 
application or pressing the button. When the attached load is turned OFF then ON, the 
PD300EMZ5-1 will turn ON.

Night Light

To act as a night light, the LED on the PD300EMZ5-1 will turn ON when the load attached is 
OFF. However, the LED can be user confi gured to turn ON, when the load attached is ON, if so 
desired. See “CONFIGURATION” section.

Energy Monitoring

PD300EMZ5-1 reports the total accumulated Kilowatt Hours (kWh) and the instantaneous Watts 
being consumed by the load.

Confi guration Parameter 13 confi gures the rate at which the energy readings are reported.  If 
the maximum kWh value that can be reported is reached (21,474 kWh), then it will remain at the 
maximum level until reset to 0.  

To reset, the total accumulated kWh used by the PD300EMZ5-1 the Z-Wave controller needs 
to send a reset command at the request of the user.  It will also be reset if the PD300EMZ5-1 is 
excluded from the Z-Wave network using the Controller software.

The Watts reading provides the immediate reading of the power being consumed by the load. 
The Watts reading takes several seconds to settle so wait a few seconds before reading the 
energy value when the state of the switch (on / off) has changed.

Remote Control

The PD300EMZ5-1 will respond to BASIC and MULTILEVEL commands that are part of the 
Z-Wave system. Refer to your Controller’s instructions as to whether your Controller can transmit 
those commands.

Protection Mode

The PD300EMZ5-1 supports Protection Mode that is used to disable the button on 
the front of the device. This eliminates inadvertent activation of the switch. To enable 
Protection Mode, press the button on the PD300EMZ5-1 three times quickly. The LED 
will blink Purple twice showing that Protection Mode has been enabled. When Enabled 
the only way to turn ON or OFF the PD300EMZ5-1 is through the Z-Wave controller or 
Mobile app. If the button on the PD300EMZ5-1 is pressed, the LED will blink Purple twice 
and have no impact on the attached device. To exit Protection Mode, press the button 
three times.

Associations

The PD300EMZ5-1 supports one Group with one (1) Node for lifeline communication. Group 
1 must be assigned the Node ID of the Controller to which unsolicited notifi cations from the  
PD300EMZ5-1 will be sent. The Z-Wave Controller should set this Association automatically 
after inclusion. You can associate up to fi ve Z-Wave devices to Group 1. 

For instructions on how to “set Lifeline Association” please refer to your wireless Controller 
instructions.

Removing Associations

To remove the Associations, if the Controller has recognized the Associations, refer to the 
Z-Wave Controller’s instructions on how to remove Associations. If the Controller has not 
recognized the Associations, removing the PD300EMZ5-1 from the Z-Wave network will 
eliminate the Associations.
