DI-000-VRCS4-02B-X0 INTRODUCTION Levitons Vizia RF +TM components are designed to communicate with each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control of your lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide the greatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Levitons Vizia RF +TM component line is a Z-Wave enabled device. In a Z-Wave network, each device is designed to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit the RF signal from one device to another until the intended device is reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its intended device by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots. This 4-Scene Controller is meant to control special scene enabled Z-Wave products. To control groups of devices that are mixed or do not support scene command class use the Leviton 4-Zone Controller
(VRCZ4). Setting up this device requires specific advanced controller functionalities, your controller must be able to associate device to groups and must be able to control the scene controller configuration commands such as the advanced Programming Remote (VRCPG).
