Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W

Description:

The Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W allows remote ON/OFF control and dimming of connected lights. In addition, the Z-Wave Wall Mount Dimmer is also easily wired in place of a standard wall dimmer. But this device requires a neutral connection.

Furthermore, Z-Wave certified wireless lighting controls (switches, dimmers, outlets as well as plug-in modules) brings a new level of intelligent wireless capability to commercial as well as residential environments.

Additionally, Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W also integrates with other Nortek Security & Control Z-Wave enabled products, and can also act as a wireless repeater to ensure that commands intended for another device in the network are received (useful when a device would otherwise be out of radio range).

This switch is also compatible with all ADT Pulse and Alarm.com devices.

In addition, Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W has a field replaceable trim ring – the color of the device can also alter with the Trim Ring Kit model in black, brown, almond as well as ivory.

This device also has Auto-Sense. Unique to Nortek Security & Control, the Auto-Sense feature allows for local lamp activation independent of the Z-Wave controller status.

Configurations:

The Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W can be configured to operate differently than how it works when you first install it. Using the Configuration command you can configure the following:

• Set Ignore Start Level Bit When Transmitting Dim Commands
• Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W can send Dim commands to Z-Wave enabled dimmers. The Dim command has a start level embedded in it. A dimmer receiving this command will start dimming from that start level if this bit is set to 0. If the bit is set to 1, the dimmer will ignore the start level and instead start dimming from its current level.
  • Parameter No: 1
  • Length: 1 Byte
  • Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default 1)

Night Light
The LED on the Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W will by default, turn ON when the load attached is turned ON. To make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turned OFF instead, set parameter 3 to a value of 1.

Proper Single Gang Installation:

Using Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W standard full heat-sink (all tabs), the connected incandescent lamp load shall not exceed 500W. Additionally, if a tab is removed from one side of the Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W unit, the connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 400W. Furthermore, if both tabs are removed from the Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W unit, the connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 300W.

Proper Dual Gang Installation:

The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 400W for each of the two Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W units.  The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 300W for each of the three Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W units.

Air Gap Switch
The Z-Wave In-Wall Switch 500W has an air gap switch on the face (lower left), that when pulled out, completely removes the power available to the load (simply turning the dimmer off does not). Additionally, this also enables the lamps that are controlled by the device to be changed with minimal danger of electrical shock. The air gap switch must be pushed all the way back in for the dimmer to operate the lamps again.
