Z-Wave Overview

Please note: The terms “Device”, “Node” and “Light” all refer to an
individual Z-Wave enabled device in your home control network
and are interchangeable within the context of these instructions.

If this remote is used as the primary controller, you must use it to
create your control network. You can use multiple remote controls
with your Z-Wave lighting control network; however, only one
remote will act as the primary controller. The primary controller
must be used to add or delete devices (lights / nodes) from your
network. All other remotes are considered secondary and can be
used to create groups and/or scenes and control your lighting
however secondary remotes cannot add or delete devices from
your control network.

NOTE: This product can be operated in one Z-Wave network with
Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other
applications. The different listening nodes within the network can
act as repeaters regardless of vendor.

! WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RISK OF BURNS

Not for use with Life Support Equipment!
Z-Wave enabled devices should never be used to supply power to or
control the On/Off status of medical and/or life support equipment!

Controlling Appliances:
Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control ap-
pliances. Operation of the Z-Wave device may be in a different room
than the controlled appliance, also an unintentional activation may
occur if the wrong button on the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devices
may automatically be powered on due to timed event programming.
Depending upon the appliance, these unattended or unintentional
operations could possibly result in a hazardous condition. For these
reasons, we recommend the following:
1. Assign Z-Wave controlled appliances to device numbers 10 – 18

on the GE remote. The likelihood of unintentionally turning on the
appliance will be reduced significantly because the “Shift” button
will need to be pressed before pressing device numbers 10-18.

2. Z-Wave devices controlling appliances should be removed from

“All” control setting. Instructions on how to do this are included in
the manual for your GE remote.

3. Do Not include Z-Wave devices in Groups or Scenes if they

control appliances.

4. Do Not use Z-Wave devices to control electric heaters or any

other appliances which may present a hazardous condition due
to unattended or unintentional or automatic power on control
