®

 network best 

practice is to use the exclusion command found in the 

Z-Wave

®

 controller. 

•  Enter Programming Mode by holding the top of the paddle for 7 

seconds, the Locator LED will blink amber.

•  Follow directions in the Z-Wave

®

ADVANCED OPTIONS

When removing a device from a network it is best practice to use the 

Exclusion process.  In situations where a device needs to be returned 

to factory default follow the following steps. A reset should only be used 

when a controller is inoperable or missing.
•  Hold the the top of the paddle for a total of 14 seconds. 

  •  After the first 7 seconds the LED turns amber.

  •  The Locator LED will quickly flash red/amber after 14 seconds. 

•  Release the the top of the paddle and the device will reset.
