AeotecNanoSwitchhasbeencraftedtopowerconnectedsocketsandswitchesusingZWavePlus.Itispoweredby
Aeotec’sGen5technology.
ToseewhetherNanoSwitchisknowntobecompatiblewithyourZWavesystemornot,pleasereferenceourZWave
gatewaycomparisonlisting.ThetechnicalspecificationsofNanoSwitchcanbeviewedatthatlink.
FamiliarizeyourselfwithyourNanoSwitch.
Notesforthewireconnectionports:
L–Powerinputforlive
N–Powerinputforneutral
IN–Inputforloadpowersupplytype(ie.if120VACisconnectedtoIN,thenOUTwilloutput120VACtotheload)
OUT–Outputforload(ThisisdirectlyconnectedtoyourLoadsinputtoreceivepower).

InstalltheNanoSwitch.
NanoSwitchinstallsbehindalightingswitchoramomentarypushbutton.Itworkswithonly3wire(withneutral)lighting
setups,thougheachinstallationofNanoSwitchisaccordinglyslightlydifferent:
1.Shutoffthemaincircuitbreakerofyourhomeforsafetyduringtheinstallationandensurethewiresarenotshortcircuited
duringtheinstallationwhichwillcausedamagetotheNanoSwitch.
Note:Yourhome’smaincircuitbreakermustsupporttheoverloadprotectionforsafety.
2.Preparingconnectionwires
14AWGpowerwiresforInput/Output.
18AWGcopperwiresforexternalmanualswitch.
Usethewirestrippercutthemetallicpartoftheconnectionwireandmakesurethelengthofthemetallicpartisabout5mm.
Note:Allconnectionwiresneedstobeflexiblecable.

Advancedfunctions.
ChangingmodeontheExternalSwitch/ButtonControl.
TheNanoSwitchcanbecontrolledvia2state(flip/flop)external/manualswitch,momentarypushbuttonorthe3wayswitch.
ToautomaticallydetectandsetthemodetotheappropriatetypeofmanualswitchwiredintoNanoSwitch,togglethebutton
onthemanualswitchonceandwait2secondsfortheNanoSwitchtodetectthetypeofmanualswitch.
YoucanalsosettheexternalswitchmodethroughConfigurationCommandClass.
Parameter120[1byte]istheparameterthatwillsetoneofthe3differentmodes.Youcansetthisconfigurationto:
(0)2stateswitchmode
(1)MomentarypushbuttonMode
(2)3wayswitchmode
Touchpanelcontrol.
AsyoucanseethattheNanoSwitch’ssurfacehasapinport,thisportisusedtoconnecttheTouchpanel.Whenyouhave
alreadyconnectedittotheNanoSwitch,youwillbepossibletocontroltheNanoSwitchthroughtheTouchpaneldirectly.

MonitoringEnergyConsumption.
TheAeotecNanoSwitchcanreportwattageenergyusageorkWhenergyusagetoaZWavecontrolpointwhenrequested.If
thisfunctionissupportedbythecontrolpoints,theenergyconsumptionwillbedisplayedintheuserinterfaceofthecontrol
points.(ThespecificZWavecommandssupportingenergymonitoringaretheMeterCommandClass.Automaticreportsare
senttoassociationgroup1,whichissetupviatheAssociationCommandClass.)Pleaseconsulttheoperationmanualfor
thesecontrolpointsforspecificinstructionsonmonitoringtheNanoSwitch.
Note:ThemodelZW139NanoSwitchdoesnothavetheabilitytomonitorenergyconsumption.ThemodelZW116Nano
Switchsupportstheenergymeteringfeatureandyoucanseethewords“withEnergyMetering”onitspackagingbox.
SecurityorNonsecurityfeatureofyourNanoSwitchinZWave
network.
