Wireless Security System
2GIG-CNTRL2

Congratulations on your ownership of an Go!Control Security System!
This wireless system offers protection for your property against burglary,
protection for yourself and family with 24-hour emergency monitoring, and
optionally fire and carbon monoxide detection for your home.
With the system’s built-in Z-Wave®home automation capability, you can
control your Z-Wave®enabled household lights and appliances from the
Control Panel or from a portable Z-Wave remote controller.
An exciting feature of the Go!Control Security System is the capability to
remotely control your Z-Wave®network of devices from your own computer
using a Web browser over the Internet. This provides you with home
automation control from anywhere in the world... even through your Web
enabled cell phone or PDA! (Web remote control is an optional feature, check
with your security professional for availability with your system.)

The Z-Wave Network
Z-Wave®is “interoperable, two-way RF mesh networking technology”. In
plain English, Z-Wave®allows you to remotely control Z-Wave®enabled
devices in your home. Z-Wave is a registered trademark of Zensys Inc. and/or
its subsidiaries.
Z-Wave enabled devices are remote control modules that lights or appliances
plug into or accessories with built-in Z-Wave capabilities that are designed to
work with all other Z-Wave enabled devices in a home control network. Each
module can act as a wireless “repeater” that extends the range of the system
and insures that commands intended for another device in the network are
received.
The wireless range of Z-Wave devices have a standard, open-air, line-of-sight
distance of 65 feet. The actual performance in a home will depend on the
type on construction, amount of metal between devices, and the number of
Z-Wave devices that are repeating the wireless signals.
Beyond simple controlling of a single device, multiple device control
commands can be assigned using a “Scene”. A Scene can be run on its own,
or “Rules” can be assigned to trigger a Scene after a Control Panel “event”
such as arming your system or when an alarm occurs.
The Go!Control Security System’s Z-Wave Home Services has been designed
to operate with Z-Wave certified binary (on/off) switches, multi-level (dimmer)
switches, thermostats, and portable controllers available from a variety of
equipment manufacturers.

Network Setup
Adding Devices
Before a device will work in the home control
network, it must be added (also called included)
into the network.
To add one or more switch or thermostat
devices into the network, use the following
steps:
1. Install the Z-Wave Device as directed by the
device’s instructions. If it is a lamp or appliance
module, connect the lamp or load to the module
and be sure the power switch on the lamp or
load is ON.
2. From the Toolbox Screen, press the ADD
DEVICES button. The Control Panel will display
“Discovering devices” and wait for a signal from
a device.
3. Press and quickly release the program button
on the device. (This button may also be called
“bind”, “learn”, or may not be labeled.)
4. When the device is discovered, the display will
show its kind, type, manufacturer, and network
node information assigned to the device.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for any additional devices
that need to be added to the network at this
time.
6. Press BACK when finished.
If additional Z-Wave compatible devices are
purchased, and your home control network
expands, these steps can be used at any time
to add additional devices.
Devices can only be included once in the
network. The system will not allow a device to
be added multiple times to the same network.

to display the current switch settings for the
device.
4. Press the RENAME button to display the
alphanumeric keyboard used to name the device.

Basic Operation
Viewing Thermostats
Z-Wave compatible thermostats can be
controlled using the Home Services feature.
✓ NOTE: Several types of Z-Wave compatible
thermostats are available. Each type
provides different features. The Control
Panel’s Home Services Z-Wave control
will adjust to the thermostat model type,
but may not support all of the thermostat’s
features.
To view the thermostat control, use the
following steps:
1. From the Home Screen press the HOME
SERVICES button.
2. From the Manage Z-Wave Devices Screen, press
the THERMOSTATS button.
3. A list of all installed thermostats will be
displayed. If there are more than three
thermostats, use the ↑or ↓arrows to scroll the
list. On the bottom line of the thermostat button,
the fan status, current mode, and current room
temperature will be displayed.
✓ NOTE: If the controls at a thermostat are
adjusted while the Control Panel is showing
this display, press the REFRESH button to
update the display.
4. Press the display where the thermostat is listed
to display the control buttons for the thermostat.
5. The display shows the current temperature, the
thermostat setpoint, the thermostat mode, and
the fan mode (if supported).
✓ NOTE: Thermostats can be powered by the
HVAC system’s 24-volt AC power source
(called a C-wire or common wire system) or
be independently powered by batteries. To
save power, battery powered thermostats
send signals to the Control Panel at
intervals and may not update the Control
Panel’s display for a short period of time.
