The xture controlled by the Z-Wave In-wall Smart Switch must not exceed 150W LED, 500W incandescent. The switch is designed only for using with permanently installed xtures. Pre-installation preparation Tools You Will Need Single switch wiring Before you start; you may wish to change the paddle color to match your wallplate or decor. Please proceed to <To Change Color Of The Paddle>.
(1) Shut o power to the circuit at circuit breaker or fuse box. IMPORTANT! Verify power is OFF to switch box before continuing. Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit for the switch and lighting xture at the service panel. All wiring connections must be made with the POWER OFF to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the switch.
(2) Remove wall plate, remove the switch mounting screws.
(3) Carefully remove the switch from the switch box. DO NOT disconnect the wires. Understanding circuit diagrams White (Neutral) Lamp Black (Load) Z-Wave Single Switch Green (Ground) Black (Line / Hot) Identify the wires. A. LINE (Hot) Black

This does not aect the electrical rating of the smart switch (see specications for details). To exclude and reset the device 1. Follow the instructions for your Z-wave certied controller to exclude a device from the Z-wave network. 2. Once the controller is ready to exclude your device, quickly, three times press the top or bottom of the wireless smart switch (rock-
er) to exclude it from the network. To return your switch to factory defaults 1. Tap-tap-tap and hold the upper paddle for at least 10 seconds. Note: This should only be used in the event your networks primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable. Triple Gang Boxes IMPORTANT! Please Read. For 3-Way setups, please only use an On/O, 3-Way slave switch (non-dimming). Please Note. Line and load must be in the same box for this schematic to work. if yours is not, please reach out for a custom schematic.
(3-WAY SWITCH WIRING) Note:
The Traveler terminal is only used for 3-way wiring . Adding your device to a Z-wave network
(1) Follow the instructions for your Z-wave certied controller to include a device to the Z-wave network.
(2) Once the controller is ready to include your device, quickly, three times press the top or bottom of the wireless smart switch(rocker) to include it in the network. Now you have completely controlled to turn your xture ON/OFF according to groups, scenes, schedules and interactive automa-
tions programmed by your controller.If your Z-wave certied controller features remote access, you can now control your xture from your mobile devices. To Change Color Of The Paddle This step is optional. Before you start you may want to change the color of the paddle to match your wallplate or decor. 1. Lift the Air Gap tab at the base of the paddle. 2. Push side tabs in on one side and then the other to release paddle. Lift the cover up and o. 3. Simply put the new paddle onto the switch by inserting the air gap and side tabs and snapping securely into place. Once this step has been completed please return to <Single switch wiring>. Basic Operation The connected light can be turned ON/OFF in two ways:
1. Manually from the front panel of the In-wall Switch 2. Remotely with a Z-Wave Controller To Replacement Bulb Air-Gap Switch:
Pull out for Bulb replacement Push back for normal use. Press The Air-Gap Switch: when changing bulbs to cut o power to the switch for your safety and shock prevention. Manual Control The Front Panel Paddle Switch allows the user to:
Turn ON/OFF the connected fixture Z-WAVE INTEROPERABILITY This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certied devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. This Device supports Lifeline (association group 1) supporting 1 node for lifeline communication. Group 1 must be assigned the Node ID of the primary controller where unsolicited notications will be sent. The Z-Wave controller should set this association automatically after inclusion. Lifeline association only supports the Device Reset Locally function. Refer to the instructions of your controller for any available details on how this can be set.

Wiring Instructions - A Few Quick Reminders A quick note before we give out the wiring schematics. Please do not try installing this device if you are unsure of how electri calcircuits operate within your home. As exciting as it is to have a smart switch installed, it can be dangerous and even life-threatening if you do not install this correctly. Please consult a qualied electrician if necessary. With that said, here are a few other warnings wed like to point out for your safety:
CAUTION - PLEASE READ!
CONTROLLING APPLIANCES This device (ZW31) is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regula-
tions in Canada. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about performing this installation consult a qualied electrician. WARNING - SHOCK HAZARD TURN OFF THE POWER to the circuit for the switch and lighting xture at the service panel (circuit breaker) prior to installation. ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE WITH THE POWER OFF to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the switch. OTHER WARNINGS Risk of Fire Risk of Electrical Shock Risk of Burns MEDICAL EQUIPMENT Please DO NOT use this switch to control Medical or Life Support equipment. Z-Wave devices should never be used to control the On/O status of Medical and/or Life Support equipment. Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when using Z-Wave devices to control appliances. Reason being is because the appliance you want to control may be in a separate room and if uninten-
tional behavior occurs (such as a device turning on or o - either intentionally via schedules, or unintentionally via network error) this event may lead to a hazardous condition. For these reasons, please note the following suggestions:
1) Do not include Z-Wave devices in Groups or Scenes if they control appliances. 2) Do not use Z-Wave devices to control electric heaters or any other appliances which may present a hazardous condition due to unattended, unintentional, or automatic power control SPECIFICATIONS Model: ZW31 Power: 120VAC, 60Hz Signal (Frequency): 908.42 MHz Maximum Load: 150W LED, 500W incandescent
