Aeon Labs Micro Motor Controller
(In-Wall Z-Wave Motor Controller)
Introduction:
The Aeon Labs Micro Motor Controller is a low-cost Z-Wave
motor controller specifically used to enable Z-Wave
command and control (up/down) for existing window
covering motors.
The wireless module is powered from the mains supply and
is a three-wire design which requires a neutral connection.
In the event of power failure, non-volatile memory retains
all programmed information relating to the units operating
status.
It also is a repeater in the Z-Wave network. Acting as a
bridge for communication, it will forward Z-Wave command
messages to their destinations if the originating controller is
out of range from the destination node.
By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network,
commands can be routed to their destination via
intermediary “listening” Z-Wave products. Products that
are Z-Wave certified can be used and communicate with
other Z-Wave certified devices.
In-Wall Electrical Installation Instructions:
IMPORTANT:
A licensed electrician with knowledge and
understanding of electrical systems and electrical safety
should complete the electrical installation inside the main
circuit box (usually located outside of your house).
IMPORTANT:
The electricity to the circuit must be shut off
during installation for safety and to ensure that wires are
not shortcircuited during insallation which will cause
damage to the Micro Module.
The Aeon Labs Micro Motor Controller must first be
powered by a 3-wire system in order to operate. The wiring
diagram is as follows:
Z-Wave Network Instructions:
The Aeon Labs Micro Motor Controller must be paired
(included) into a Z-Wave network before it can receive Z-
Wave commands to turn on/off/dim and report its energy
usage. The Motor Controller can only communicate to
devices within it’s own Z-Wave network.
Note
:
The LED on the Micro Motor Controller will blink if it
is currently not paired into a Z-Wave network.

Adding/Including/Pairing the Micro Motor
Controller into a Z-Wave Network
1.
Press the button labeled “Include” on the Aeon Labs
Minimote to begin the Z-Wave inclusion process.
Note
: To include the Aeon Labs Micro Motor
Controller with other controllers, please consult the
operation manual for these controllers on how to
include Z-Wave products into an existing network.
For instructions on select partner gateways, visit
www.aeon-labs.com/support.
2.
While the Micro Motor Controller is powered in a 3-
wire system, press the button located near the Status
Indication LED. Or alternatively, the external
switch/button control can be pressed 6 times in quick
succession.
Troubleshooting
: If the Aeon Labs Micro Motor Controller
was not successfully included into any Z-Wave network, the
LED will be blinking slowly continually. If the Aeon Labs
Micro Motor Controller was successfully included to a Z-
Wave network, the Status Indication LED will either be solid
on or off (depending on if the switch is on or off) 10
seconds after the button was last pressed.
•
Removing/Resetting the Micro Motor Controller
from your Z-Wave Network
1.
Press the button labeled “Remove” on the Aeon Labs
Minimote Stick to begin the Z-Wave removal process.
Note
: To include the Aeon Labs Micro Motor
Controller with other controllers, please consult the
operation manual for these controllers on how to
include Z-Wave products into an existing network.

Troubleshooting
: If the Aeon Labs Micro Motor Controller
was removed from the Z-Wave network, the Status
Indication LED will be blinking. If the Aeon Labs Motor
Controller was not successfully removed from the Z-Wave
network, the Status Indication LED will either be solid on or
off (depending on if the switch is on or off) 10 seconds after
the button was last pressed.

Controlling the Micro Motor Controller
Use any of the below methods to control the Micro Motor
Controller.
o
Pressing the button on the external (Wall)
switch will be able to spin the motor
up/down/stop.
o
Through the usage of Z-Wave commands built
into Z-Wave certified controllers and gateways.
(The specific Z-Wave commands supporting this
function are the Basic Command Class and
Multilevel Switch Command Class.) Please
consult the operation manual for these
