PS15Z-2
Z-Wave Radio Frequency (RF) Controlled, 120 VAC,
15A, Plug-In Appliance Module, Series 300
NOTE: This module must be “included in the Network” only where it will be permanently installed. You cannot “test bench” confi gure this
module, then install. The proper operation of this node in the mesh network is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes.
PS15Z-2 PLUG-IN APPLIANCE MODULE
Linear’s family of Z-Wave certifi ed wireless lighting controls (switches,
dimmers, outlets and plug-in modules) brings 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.
Embedded in each device, the Z-Wave smart chip enables two-way RF
communication among hundreds of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing
products and services from multiple manufacturers to work seamlessly.
Linear Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create
an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and
interoperability with security and health monitoring systems, energy
management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.
This product supports 40Kbps data transmission. This product can
also be used for network support in systems that stream metadata. An
example might include transmission of information from audio devices
such as song title, artist, and album information to various displays
around the home. As part of a Z-Wave network, the PS15Z-2 will act
as a wireless repeater to insure that commands intended for another
device in the network are received. This is useful when the device
would otherwise be out of the radio range of the wireless controller.
INSTALLATION
Plug this Appliance Module into the wall outlet near the load to be
controlled, and plug the load into the Appliance Module. Make sure the
load to be controlled is 15 amps (1800 watts) or less.
INCLUDING PS15Z-2 TO THE NETWORK
STEP 1. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network, by
adding it to a group (method of adding a node to the network). Refer to
controller instructions.
STEP 2. The PS15Z-2 must be in its permanently installed location.
Tap the button on the PS15Z-2 once.
STEP 3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the
“DEVICE WAS INCLUDED” in the network.
NOTE: If you have trouble adding the PS15Z-2 to a group it may be
that the Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing.
You must fi rst “RESET UNIT” with your controller to remove it from
the network. Although adding it to a group includes it in the network,
removing it from a group does not remove it from the network. If removed
from a group, it functions only as a repeater.
BASIC OPERATION
Button (Local Control)
The button on the PS15Z-2 allows the user to:
• Turn the attached load on or off.
• Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system.
When a controller prompts you to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button
on Unit”, quickly tap the button once to satisfy those instructions.
Tapping button toggles the load attached ON or OFF.
Remote Control
The PS15Z-2 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.
ADVANCED OPERATION
Protection
The PS15Z-2 supports the Protection Command.
The PS15Z-2 can be set to any 1 of 3 Protection modes by a wireless
controller. Refer to your controller for information on how to set the
various modes of Protection. Some controllers may only be able to set
certain settings of Protection:
There are 3 modes of Protection and they are the following:
1. No protection
2. Child protection
3. Local Button totally disabled
When Protection is set to “No Protection” mode,the PS15Z-2 works
normally, unit will turn on and off with the button on the unit, or with the
wireless controller.
When Protection is set to “Child Protection” mode, you are required to
press the button on the unit 3 times rapidly to control the attached load.
The PS15Z-2 continues to operate normally using a wireless controller.
When Protection is set to “Button totally disabled” mode the button
will not work to turn the unit on or off. The button can still be used,
however, to access the Z-Wave network. The PS15Z-2 continues to
operate normally using a wireless controller.
Button Functions
1. Adds module under the command of
Wireless Controller
2. Local ON and OFF (push and release).
