WS15Z-1 WALL MOUNTED SWITCH

The GoControl™ family of Z-Wave® certifi ed wireless lighting products 
(smart LED fi xtures, bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, plug-in modules, and 
thermostats) and security devices (alert sounder, motion sensor, and door/
window sensor) bring a new level of intelligent wireless 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.

DANGER! SHOCK HAZARD.

 Read and understand these instructions before 

installing. This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National 
Electric code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian 
Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. It is recommended that a 
qualifi ed electrician perform this installation. Make sure the load controlled by 
the switch does not exceed 1800 watts. For indoor use only. Retain instructions 
for future use.

INSTALLATION

Wire this switch in place of a current wall switch according to the diagram 
above. When used, WS15Z-1’s are required to be 

wired to the same line (or 

neutral) 

which is also wired to the load being controlled, and not wired to any 

other neutral. If multiple neutrals are tied together in one box, separate the 
neutrals to preserve the integrity of the WS15Z-1 circuit.

 

CAUTION! 

Do not wire unit “live” (with power on the circuit).

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 switch once for 
Network Wide Inclusion. Tap twice for Standard Inclusion.

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.

Removing from a network:

The WS15Z-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 
WS15Z-1 from the Controller.

2. 

Remove the switch by tapping the paddle 2 times.

3. 

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

BASIC OPERATION

(Local Control)

The switch paddle on the WS15Z-1 allows the user to:

•  Turn the attached load on or off.
•  Tapping top of switch turns the load attached ON.
•  Tapping bottom of switch turns the load attached OFF.

LED Indication

To act as a night light, the LED on the WS15Z-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.

Remote Control

The WS15Z-1 will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of 
the Z-Wave system. Refer to your Controller’s instructions as to whether your 
Controller can transmit those commands.

NOTE: 

This unit must be added to the Network 

only where it will be permanently installed. 

The proper operation of this node in the 

mesh network is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes. You cannot “test bench” confi gure this unit, then install.
