1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GETTING STARTED
Congratulations on your purchase of the ZTH100 and other HomePro components. This manual will guide
you in understaning the full capabilities of the HomePro Sytem and operation of the Remote Transmitter.
2. HOMEPRORFPRODUCTS
2.1 OTHER HOMEPRO LIGHTING AND APPLIANCE PRODUCTS
The remote is designed to work with HomePro lamp and appliance controls, and thus control the following products:
ZDP100 RF Lamp Module Plug-in, 300W, 120VAC
ZDW100 RF Wall Mounted Dimmer Wall-mount, 500W, 120VAC
ZRP100 RF Appliance Module Plug-in, 15A, 120VAC
ZRW100 RF Wall Switch Wall-mount, 15A, 120VAC
Z-Wave modules of other types can be added to the system and will also act as repeaters if they support this
functionality. However they cannot be controlled with this controller.
3. GENERAL OPERATION
3.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The HomePro product line from Advanced Control Technologies includes several products that are intended
to work together to provide convenient control of all of your home lighting and appliances. By using the
ZTH100 remote control transmitter, all of these HomePro devices are linked by a state of the art wireless
communications network featuring patented Z-Wave technology. This technology insures that the commands
that you give through the remote transmitter are reliably communicated by radio to the intended HomePro
device.
The remote transmitter controls up to 64 HomePro devices, which include both plug-in and wall mounted
dimmers and switches. The remote transmitter finds a way to route your commands to the intended device
through other HomePro dimmers and switches. This is possible because each of these devices are designed
to retransmit the commands that are sent thru them to adjacent devices that might otherwise be out of range
of the remote transmitter. The Z-Wave system provides that a command can be routed if necessary through
as many as three different devices in route to the intended device.
Communications with devices employing Z-Wave technology is bi-directional. That is, when a command is
sent from a remote transmitter, an acknowledgement is sent back to it by the affected devices to confirm that
the command was received. In the unusual situation in which a command is not properly received, a mes-
sage will appear on the remote transmitter’s display to inform the User.
3.2 REMOTE TRANSMITTER SOFTWARE FEATURES.
• Provides user level control for 64 modules.
• Allows configuring of 64 groups with up to 64 modules in each.
• Allows configuring of 32 scenes with up to 64 modules in each.
• Eight (8) timers are available to the user. Each timer can be used to control any one of the existing groups.
• Burglar deterrent mode that randomly turns individual modules ON/OFF in the network.
• Displays the time in 12 hour AM/PM format
• Allows multiple remote transmitters (one master and two or more secondary ones) in various locations for
convenience.
3.3 POWER DOWN AND DISPLAY TIME-OUT
The ZTH100 goies into a power saving mode after a period of inactivity in order to conserve battery life.
pressing any key will cause the unit to “wake up” and process any of your commands. The display is blank
in the power down mode.

1. HOW TO USE THE ZTH100 FEATURES
4.1 MENU NAVIGATION AND SELECTION
Pushing the “Menu” button will activate the menu display.:
a. and keys are used to navigate through the menu. All menu levels wrap
around.
b. activates the currently selected menu item.
c. (or Clear) cancels the currently selected item and will in most instances step back to the
previously selected menu level. If used from top menu level the Remote will return to clock
display.
The top menu level behaves like this: Using the right and left arrow buttons you can toggle right or left through the
menu selections of : GROUPS
SCENES
TIMER
CHILD PROTECTION
BURGLAR DETERRENT
SETUP
Top level menus wrap around, so arrow buttons in any direction will repeat menu selections.
Select any one by pressing OK. Follow instructions to set up that function (explained in following paragraphs). Using
the Clear button (C) at any time will take you back to the Time (which will auto-off after 10 seconds)
4.2 GROUPS/SCENES
The layout and behavior of the “groups” and “scenes” menus are very similar. Where they are identical, “groups” is
used as an example.

be directly controlled by this remote.
4.2.4 ADDING UNSUPPORTED DEVICE TYPES TO THE NETWORK
As mentioned elsewhere devices of other types than multilevel and binary switches can be included into the network
and will be used by the protocol; they cannot be controlled by this application. If the user adds an unknown device to
the network this information will be displayed:
