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
ZTH100 remote control transmitter, 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 remote transmitter are reliably communicated by radio to the intended HomePro
device.
The remote transmitter controls up to 64 HomePro devices, which include both plug-in and wall mounted
dimmers and switches. The remote transmitter 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 thru them to adjacent devices that might otherwise be out of range
of the remote transmitter. 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 bi-directional. That is, when a command is
sent from a remote transmitter, an acknowledgement is sent back to it by the affected devices to confirm that
the command was received. In the unusual situation in which a command is not properly received, a mes-
sage will appear on the remote transmitter’s display to inform the User.
3.2 REMOTE TRANSMITTER SOFTWARE FEATURES.
• Provides user level control for 64 modules.

3.3 POWER DOWN AND DISPLAY TIME-OUT
The ZTH100 goies into a power saving mode after a period of inactivity in order to conserve battery life.
pressing any key will cause the unit to “wake up” and process any of your commands. The display is blank
in the power down mode.
