Introduction:
Thank you for your purchase of a GE Z-Wave® control
device. Z-Wave technology is designed to automate
lighting/home control and provide easy remote operation
of all your Z-wave enabled devices. The GE Z-Wave product
family includes a variety of devices to control lighting in your
home. It is up to you whether you want to control one room
or your entire house and whether you want to do it all now
or start with one room and add more over time.
This device provides control of 4 Groups and 4 Scenes.
Up to 32 Z-Wave devices can be included in each of the
Groups and Scenes. It is a secondary controller only and
cannot function as a primary controller.

Z-WAVE TERMINOLOGY
Primary Controller: This is the
main device used to set up and
control your Z-Wave network.
There can only be one primary
controller and it must be used to
add or delete devices. A primary
controller can be a portable
device like a hand-held remote,
a static controller (permanently
installed & never moved), a
Z-Wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave
enabled Ethernet router/bridge/
gateway.
Secondary Controller: The
Z-Wave network supports
multiple controllers so the
residents can use additional
Z-Wave remotes throughout the
home. A secondary controller
can not be used to add or delete
devices.
Slave: Devices within the Z-Wave
network are either controllers or
slaves. Most AC powered slaves
also function as repeaters in the
network, and when required,
relay the command signals to
the destination device. Battery
powered devices like motion
detectors are typically asleep
and do not function as repeaters.
Home Control Network: Your
controllers and every Z-Wave
device you have added with the
primary controller are linked
together into a wireless network.
Each device in your network has
a unique address assigned to it
and cannot be activated by your
neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.
Light/Node/Device: Node is the
technical term used to describe
a Z-Wave device in your home
control network. Please note that
the terms “Node”, “Device” and
“Light” all refer to an individual
Z-Wave enabled device and
are interchangeable within the
context of these instructions.
Group: Groups can also be
thought of as an area or zone.
Multiple Z-Wave devices can be
turned ON or OFF with a single
command when they are placed
into a Group. One example
would be Grouping your porch
light, exterior garage lights and
patio lights together so that they
could all be turned ON if you hear
a strange sound in the middle of
the night.

Scene: Scenes are normally
activity based lighting schemes.
A Scene lets you establish preset
brightness levels for multiple
Z-Wave controlled lights and
then control them with one
command. This is ideal for mood
or task lighting. Scene 1 could
be the family room lights set to
dim for watching TV. Scene 2
could have the same lights set
to a different brightness level for
other activities like reading or
entertaining.
Include /Exclude: Include
and exclude are the formal
terms used to describe adding,
removing or deleting devices to
or from the control network or
Groups and Scenes.
Replicate: This is the Z-Wave
term for copying or transferring
the Z-Wave network data to a
new controller. This process is
also used to update secondary
controllers after changes have
been made to the control
network with the primary
controller.
BATTERIES
Two CR2032 batteries are
pre-installed in the unit. Be sure
to Remove the insulating tabs
before trying to program and use
the device.
Battery Use and Safety
- Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and
recommended type.
- Replace both batteries at the
same time! Do not mix old and
new batteries or different types
of batteries.
- Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
- Replace fully discharged
batteries immediately
- Remove batteries if the product
is to be unused for extended
period of time.
To Install Batteries:
1. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver
into the small slot at the
bottom of the faceplate and
twist gently to remove the
faceplate from the device.

2. Remove the small screw from
the battery retainer door. Pull
out on the top of the door (it is
hinged at the bottom).
3. Slide the batteries out of the
holder.
4. Install new batteries in the
correct orientation based on
the “+” & “-“ polarity markings
5. Hold the batteries in place
(pushing them toward the
center of the unit) and close
the battery door making sure
that the ends of the retainer
door fit over the batteries.
Please note that the battery
retainer door hinges at the
bottom and can lock in the
open position. You may need
to pull or lift it gently to close it.
6. Reinstall the retainer screw
and faceplate.
Battery Life: This device is just like any
universal A/V remote control;
the more you use it, the shorter the
battery life. Under normal operating
conditions, the batteries should last
for approximately one year. LED
indicators behind the Group/Scene
control buttons will blink when one of
the buttons is Pressed. The brightness
of the blinking LED will diminish as the
batteries are depleted. A very dim
LED will provide a visual indication
that the batteries need to be replaced.
Network, Group & Scene programming
will be retained while changing
batteries. Please note: Using this
device to control Groups and Scenes
containing large numbers of Z-Wave
devices will be more demanding on
the batteries than smaller Groups and
Scenes, resulting in shorter battery life.
NOT FOR USE WITH MEDICAL OR 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.

RISK OF FIRE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RISK OF BURNS
WARNING
Controlling Appliances:
Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control
appliances. 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.
5. Double check programs for accuracy before using them.

Please Note: Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work
properly alongside 802.11 wireless computer networks, Bluetooth
and other 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz devices. Some baby cams, wireless video
devices and older cordless phones using the 900MHz frequency range
may cause interference and limit Z-Wave functionality. Many 900MHz
products have a switch to select channel “A” or “B”. You may find that
one of these channels will cause less interference than the other.
Mounting
1. We recommend that you setup the controller and familiarize
yourself with the functions before mounting it. This controller
may be mounted with double sided tape or screws (and
hollow wall anchors where necessary). Mounting hardware is
included. The mounting surface must be smooth and clean
if using the tape. Ideally, it should be mounted at the same
height as the wall switches in your home.
2. The faceplate snaps onto the main body of the controller after
it is mounted on the wall. It can be easily removed by inserting
a small flat blade screwdriver into the slot on the bottom and
twisting gently.
Operation
NOTE: In order to prolong battery life, the controller will “Time-
Out”, exit setup and go into stand-by (sleep) mode if more than 10
seconds elapses between steps in any programming process.
Copying Network and Device Information to
this Controller (Replication)
This controller is a secondary controller; you must copy (replicate) your
primary controller’s device and network information to this secondary
controller before trying to create or modify Groups and Scenes.

The network information copied to this device depends upon
the brand/type of primary controller you are using. If the
primary controller is a GE brand hand-held remote, all of the
device & network information plus the first 4 Groups and
Scenes you created can be copied. If the primary controller is
a different brand or type (internet gateway, Z-Wave enabled
computer, etc.), the device & network information will be
copied but the Groups/Scenes may not be. In either case,
once this device has been added to your network, you can
create or modify the Groups and Scenes to meet your needs.
1. Place the two controllers next to each other.
2. Put the primary controller into transfer mode so that it sends
its information to this secondary controller. Refer to the
instruction manual for your primary controller on how to put
it into this mode

dimmers will turn on to their last brightness level. Other
brands may act differently.
b. When activating a Scene, incandescent lights controlled
by Z-Wave dimmers will turn on to the brightness level
established during the Scene setup.
3. Turn the Group or Scene OFF by Pressing and releasing the
left side (OFF) of the desired button. The amber LED will
blink twice.
NOTE: One of your Z-Wave devices may have failed (or been
moved) if the response time between pressing the On/Off
button and the activation of the lights in that Group or Scene
seems to take longer than normal. Z-Wave’s mesh network
technology relies on accurate routing tables and the ability
of one device to relay the command signals to the other
devices. Please use your primary controller to verify the
operation of all the devices in your control network and if
necessary, replace any defective devices. After confirming
that everything is working properly, perform a “Network
Recovery” with your primary controller to rebuild the routing
tables and then update the keypad controller to restore
normal operation.
Excluding Device from Network
This controller can be excluded (removed from) your network
so that it no longer appears in your primary controller’s list of
network devices.

Interoperability with Z-Wave™ Devices
Every Z-Wave certified product is designed to work with all
other Z-Wave certified products. A Z-Wave™ network can
integrate devices of various classes, and these devices can
be made by different manufacturers. Although this Keypad
Controller can use the Basic Command Class to provide
limited control of some non-lighting Z-wave devices, it is
intended for controlling Z-Wave devices using the lighting
control command classifications. The controller you select
should include the appropriate command classifications that
will provide full control of your devices. As an example, the
GE 45633 advanced remote with LCD provides support of the
command classes for Z-Wave certified door locks, thermostats
and lighting.
