4.0 Connecting devices to the RZ1
To establish a connection with another Z-Wave enabled unit (i.e. RET
BZ), the RZ1 must be placed into its PROGRAMME MODE.
Once the RZ1 is in PROGRAMME MODE, each channel will present
whether it has an existing binding in the following way:
Channel LED RED = unbound/no device present.
Channel LED OFF = Channel successfully bound/ device located and
communication established.
To establish communication and bind a device to the RZ1:
1. Press and release PROG button. The PROG LED will light up
RED.
2. Channels with no devices bound will show RED LED as well.
3. Press the button for the channel you wish to bind, the LED will
ash RED slowly.
4. Press the ‘include initiator’ button on the wireless device to be
connected to the RZ1 (On some devices you may need to press
and hold the include initiator button for up to 10 seconds).
5. Once binding has nished the LED for the channel just bound
will go out indicating success. If there was an error in the binding
process the PROG LED will ash ORANGE rapidly. If this occurs
acknowledge the error by pressing the PROG button and return
to step 1 to begin the process again.
6. Press PROG to return to normal operating mode (PROG LED
shows GREEN).

6. If this process fails then the RZ1 PROG LED will ash ORANGE
fast. To acknowledge this press the PROG button. The LED will
return to RED, indicating that it has returned to programme
mode.
7. In the event of the RZ1 failing to join an existing network as a
secondary controller, the RZ1 will need to have its home and
node ID reset back to their default conditions by carrying out
a complete system reset by following the process laid out in
section 7.
4.5 Excluding the RZ1 as a secondary controller
to a network
To exclude your RZ1 from a network where it has been added as a
secondary controller, follow the steps below:
1. Place the RZ1 into programme mode by pressing the PROG
button (Programme LED will turn RED).
2. Activate the exclude/unbind initiator on the primary controller
in the network.
3. Press and hold the programme and channel buttons until the
RED LED ashes slowly indicating that exclusion as a secondary
controller has been initiated.
4. The RZ1 will attempt to unbind from the network.
5. Once the RZ1 has successfully been excluded from the network,
endpoint information and channel information will be removed
and the programme LED will return to its continuously on RED
state.
6. If a failure to exclude/unbind the RZ1 from the network occurs,
the programme LED will ash ORANGE fast. Acknowledge this
by pressing the programme button. Endpoint information and
channel information will be removed. And the channel LED will
return to a RED LED ON, indicating that it has returned to the

been set-up this will be available by following the steps below:
1. With the PROG LED ashing GREEN, push the PROG button for
at least 12 seconds.
2. The PROG LED will turn solid ORANGE to indicate that the
controller shift mode has been activated.
3. Press and release the CH1 button and the PROG LED will ash
RED slowly to indicate that a controller shift is occurring.
4. Start the inclusion process on the controller to be added to the
network as a replacement primary controller.
5. If the process is successful, the PROG LED will show solid RED,
failure will be indicated by the PROG LED ashing ORANGE.
6. To return to normal RUN mode, press the PROG button, the LED
will show GREEN.
7. If the process has failed, press and release the PROG button,
the PROG LED will show solid RED and the process can be
repeated.
A network primary controller shift can not be started if:
1. The RZ1/RZ1-HP has created the network and is the existing
primary, as it is the networks SIS by default.
2. The RZ1/RZ1-HP is a secondary network controller and not the
SUC and no other SIS is in the network.
If a user attempts to do a controller shift and points 1 and 2 apply the
process will fail automatically.
For the dierent methods of initiating a primary controller shift
please see the rest of section 5.
