1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GETTING STARTED
Congratulations on your purchase of the ZTH200 and other HomePro components. This manual will guide
you in understanding the full capabilities of the HomePro System and operation of the Wireless Controller.
2. HOMEPRO RF PRODUCTS
2.1 OTHER HOMEPRO LIGHTING AND APPLIANCE PRODUCTS
The controller is designed to work with HomePro lamp and appliance controls, and thus control the following products:
ZDP200
RF Lamp Module with EU-Schuko Plug and Receptacle
Plug-in, 300W, 230VAC, 50 Hz
ZDP210
RF Lamp Module with Euro-UK Plug and Receptacle
Plug-in, 300W, 230VAC, 50 Hz
ZDP230

Plug-in, 300W, 230VAC, 50 Hz
ZRP200
RF Appliance Module with EU-Schuko Plug and Receptacle
Plug-in, 10A, 230VAC, 50 Hz
Z-Wave modules of other types can be added to the system and will also act as repeaters if they support this
functionality. However they cannot be controlled with this controller.
3. GENERAL OPERATION
3.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The HomePro product line from Advanced Control Technologies includes several products that are intended to
work together to provide convenient control of all of your home lighting and appliances. By using the ZTH200
Wireless Controller, all of these HomePro devices are linked by a state of the art wireless communications network
featuring patented Z-Wave technology. This technology insures that the commands that you give through the
Wireless Controller are reliably communicated by radio to the intended HomePro device.
The Wireless Controller operates up to 64 HomePro devices, which include both plug-in and wall mounted
dimmers and switches. The Wireless Controller finds a way to route your commands to the intended device
through other HomePro dimmers and switches. This is possible because each of these devices are designed to
retransmit the commands that are sent through them to adjacent devices that might otherwise be out of range of
the Wireless Controller. The Z-Wave system provides that a command can be routed if necessary through as
many as three different devices in route to the intended device.
Communications with devices employing Z-Wave technology is bidirectional. That is, when a command is sent
from a Wireless Controller, an acknowledgment is sent back to it by the affected devices to confirm that the
command was received (not necessarily that the load changed state). In the unusual situation in which a command
is not properly received, a message will appear on the Wireless Controller’s display to inform the User.
3.2 WIRELESS CONTROLLER SOFTWARE FEATURES.
• Provides user level control for 64 modules (i.e. one module, one group)
• Allows configuring of 64 groups with up to 64 modules in each.
• Allows configuring of 32 scenes with up to 64 modules in each.
• Eight (8) timers are available to the user. Each timer can be used to control any one of the existing groups.
• Burglar deterrent mode that randomly turns individual modules ON/OFF in the network.
• Displays the time in 12 hour AM/PM format.
• Allows multiple wireless controllers (one master and one or more secondary ones) in various locations for
convenience.
• Allows multiple Wireless Controllers
“Each wireless controller comes pre-programmed from the factory
with a unique Home ID. This ID prevents unintended access to a user’s network of modules by neighbors
or others who may also be using HomePro products. If a user desires to add additional controllers to their
HomePro network however, there is a provision to allow this to be done without compromising this impor-
tant feature (see section 4.6.4).”
3.3 POWER DOWN AND DISPLAY TIME-OUT
The ZTH200 goes into a power saving mode after a period of inactivity in order to conserve battery life.
Pressing any button will cause the unit to “wake up” and process any of your commands. The display is
blank in the power down mode.
