5. ZWRX S Universal On Off Sensor The ZWRX S Universal On Off Sensor is a Z Wave device that is designed to work in most Z Wave networks The sensor has one input it monitors the voltage on that input and translates it into Z Wave commands The Z Wave software can see the sensor as being off or on The sensor can be used to detect presence of voltage across its input pins or it can be configured to work with passive contacts that are connected to those pins The sensor can supply a limited amount of power to an external sensor Figure 1 The Universal On Off Sensor The Universal On Off Sensor is a plug in type device that is designed to operate on a 110 120V 60 Hz AC circuit that is used in North America The sensor is plugged into the wall outlet and operates entirely on utility power The sensor is isolated from the ground with a Class II Class III power transformer Installation Procedure Select the location for the Universal On Off Sensor The chosen location should have a wall outlet or a power strip available to power the device When selecting the location take into account the distance to the Z Wave controller or to neighboring Z Wave nodes The device will be unreachable if is installed too far from the controller or from routing nodes Connect input wires to the plug of the input connector The Universal On Off Sensor comes with a three circuit plug that connects your signal to the sensor Fi

9. ide Inclusion Plug the sensor into the wall outlet The LED starts blinking fast The sensor is now in the NWI mode Activate the inclusion function on a NWI capable controller to perform the inclusion Once it completes the LED stops blinking Using the manual inclusion method Bring the Z Wave controller near the sensor and activate its inclusion mode Press and release the button on the sensor The LED will flash for a few seconds and the sensor becomes a part of the Z Wave network Associate the Sensor with controlled slave device s This needs to be done only if the Z Wave network is not operated by a computer program In this type of a network Z Wave devices control each other directly If you have such a network use your Z Wave controller to associate the Universal On Off Sensor with one or more up to five slave devices please refer to your controller s manual on how to do it For example if the Universal On Off Sensor monitors a closet door it can be associated with a Z Wave light switch that turns the light in the closet on and off Use association group 1 of the sensor to control slave devices Associate the Sensor with the Z Wave controller This needs to be done only if the Z Wave network is operated by a computer program In such a network the Z Wave controller needs to receive status change notifications from all devices including the Universal On Off Sensor The computer software
10. improve the reliability of your Z Wave network To make use of routing abilities of the Z Wave network make sure that the software operated controller is an associated device in the association group 2 of the sensor This will ensure that sensor reports are sent directly to the controller perhaps by routing them through other nodes Computer based home automation software often contains tools that optimize routing within the network This is done through the Z Wave controller by talking to nodes in the network and asking them what other nodes they can hear After all nodes report the software loads new routing strategy into the controller and into nodes Factory reset It is rarely necessary to perform the factory reset However this function is available If you must reset the Universal On Off Sensor first exclude it if possible from the Z Wave network Then press and hold the button for at least 30 seconds then release The LED will activate for 1 second and the device will be reset If the Universal On Off Sensor was not excluded from the network prior to the reset it will not react to network commands any longer To resume using the sensor it is necessary to include it into the Z Wave network again the controller will see it as a new device Page 5 of 7 Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device
