Z-WAVE DEVICE NETWORK INSTRUCTIONS:
This product may be added to a new or existing Z-Wave network. An Eaton Wiring Devices Z-Wave device has a blue LED,
which will blink when the device is not included in a Z-Wave network. The LED stops blinking when the device is in a network.
This product works with other Z-Wave Plus products from different vendors and product categories as part of the same network.
This product is a listening node and it will act as a repeater in the Z-Wave network. It will perform the repeater function with
Z-Wave products from Eaton and from other Z-Wave vendors.
This secure Z-Wave Plus device will only associate with other secure devices based on the Z-Wave controller it’s being used with.
Please refer to instructions provided with the controller for more details.
