HS-FC200+ Z-Wave Plus Fan Controller
INSTALLATION
Tools required: medium standard and Phillips head screwdrivers, wire strippers/cuers
1Shut o power to the circuit at the circuit breaker or fuse box. VERIFY power is OFF before connuing!
2Remove exisng fan controller wall plate and mounng screws. Carefully remove the exisng fan controller from the electrical
box but leave the wires connected.
3This companion switch should only be connected to these three wires:
• NEUTRAL - White (this wire is oen ed to other neutral wires and may require a jumper to connect with the HS-FC200+)
• GROUND - Green or Bare
• TRAVELER - Red/Other (only used in 3-way circuits)
4Disconnect the wires from the exisng switch and aach those wires to the HS-FC200+ using the screw terminal connectors on
the back with the following procedure:
1 Strip 16 mm (5/8”) insulaon from each wire*.
2 With a screw driver, loosen each screw terminal by rotang the screw counter-clockwise a few turns unl resistance is felt.
3 There are two holes on the back of the switch near each screw terminal. Insert the stripped wire into one of these holes and
ghten the screw terminal to secure the connecon. Connecons should be snug.
*all wires should be 14 AWG or larger rated at 80°C or higher. Tightening torque should be 12 lbf-in (14kgf-cm).
5Carefully install the wired switch back into the electrical box and reaach the trim plate.
OVERVIEW
HS-FC200+ is a Z-Wave controllable wired fan controller for use with 3-speed or 4-speed ceiling fans. See HomeSeer.com/lighng

COMPATIBILITY
Your new HomeSeer fan controller is designed to work with 3 or 4 speed AC powered ceiling fans that do not have a light with the
fan or installaons where you have a separate wall switch for the fan and the light. In the event that you have a light with the fan in
the same circuit/switch, the light will dim or turn o whenever you set the fan at lower speed than the highest posion. HS-FC200+
is a Z-Wave Plus cered and is ready to be used with a variety of home automaon controllers. The special features of this switch
are supported using a number of dierent Z-Wave technologies. HomeSeer systems are designed to support these technologies
and will provide the most seamless operaon of these features. However, other systems may also provide sasfactory results de-
pending on the level of support they provide for these same technologies. If you’re using a non-HomeSeer system, be sure to check
our support page (hps://homeseer.com/support-home/) for further details.
Z-WAVE INCLUSION
Inclusion/Exclusion: Add or remove the device into your network by a Z-Wave cered controller. HS-FC200+ supports the latest S2
security and SmartStart oered by Z-Wave cered controllers. If your controller supports S2 or SmartStart, please refer to the
user guide of the controller for detailed instrucons on adding or removing devices to/from the network. You should be able to add
HS-FC200+ into your network using the unique QR code or the DSK 5 digit pin located on the product or packaging. In addion, the
device can be added or removed using the following 2-step procedure:
1Put your Z-Wave controller into inclusion mode. Consult your controller manual if you’re unsure how to do this.
HomeSeer users: press “Add Device” on your Z-Tool+ mobile app
2Tap the paddle of your new HomeSeer switch to begin the inclusion process. This will take a few moments to complete.
HomeSeer users: Be sure to name the switch and assign it to a locaon using Z-Tool+ when inclusion is done
MANUAL RESET - To be used only in the event that the network primary controller is lost or otherwise inoperable.
(1) Turn switch on by tapping the top of the paddle once. (2) Quickly tap top of the paddle 3 mes. (3) Quickly tap boom of pad-
dle 3 mes. (4) If light turns o and then on again, switch is reset. If not, repeat manual reset.
ASSOCIATION - This product supports associaon group #1 for lifeline communicaon. Refer to your controller manual for in-
strucons on seng the lifeline associaon.
OPERATION
Your new HomeSeer switch may be operated locally (manually) or remotely using a Z-Wave compable controller or home auto-
maon system.
Local Control:
• Press (tap) the top of the paddle to power the load
• Press (tap) the boom of the paddle to cut power to the load
• Press & hold or single-tap the top or boom paddle to increase or decrease fan speed. The LED indicators will light to
represent fan speed level.
Remote Control:
• On / O control is available remotely. Consult your controller manual for details.
HomeSeer users: this switch creates 3 devices; a root device, central scene device and control device. The root device may
be used to manage Z-Wave sengs. The central scene device may be used as a trigger for events. The control device will
will send on / o commands to the switch.
ADVANCED FEATURES
Your new HomeSeer switch includes advanced features that may be accessed with HomeSeer (and other*) systems.
Mul-tap triggering - Tapping the top or boom of the paddle 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 mes in rapid succession may be used as a trigger to
launch HomeSeer events. In the example below (using HomeSeer HS3 soware), the trigger is set to the top of the paddle being
pressed 3 mes. You must use the trigger “device had its value set to” and apply it to the “Central Scene” device. Note that “Scene
001” refers to the top of the paddle.

In this example, the trigger is set to the boom of the paddle (Scene 002) being pressed 5 mes.
Note that pressing the top or boom of the paddle once will also control the aached load.
RGB LED Indicator - The color of the LED indicator may be controlled with Z-Wave commands using HS3 event acons.
In normal mode, the LED indicator glows to reect the on/o status of the connected circuit using a palee of 7 possible colors
(red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, white). HS-FC200+ switches will operate in normal mode by default. In the example below
(using HomeSeer HS3 soware), this event acon will set the normal mode color of all HS-FC200+ switches (and all other 200 Series
dimmers and switches) to Magenta.
In status mode, the LED indicator can be controlled to reect the status of nearly anything in the home. In the example below
(using HomeSeer HS3 soware), this event acon will change the LED indicator of the First Floor Kitchen Overhead Light to blink
red.
Switching between normal mode and status mode: HS-FC200+ switches will operate in normal mode by default. Sending a color
status command to the LED will automacally enable status mode. The switch will remain in status mode unl its LED status is set
to “O”. In the example below (using HomeSeer HS3 soware), this event acon will clear status from all switches (and dimmers)
on the network, causing all devices to revert to normal mode.
COMPATIBILITY (with Non-HomeSeer systems)
The special features of this switch are supported using a number of dierent Z-Wave technologies. HomeSeer systems are de-
signed to support these technologies and will provide the most seamless operaon of these features. However, other systems may
also provide sasfactory results depending on the level of support they provide for these same technologies. If you’re using a non-
HomeSeer system, use the informaon below and consult with your system manufacturer to determine the level of compability.
Mul-tap Triggers: This feature uses the Z-Wave CENTRAL SCENE command class. If the system supports this command class AND
ulizes a general interrogaon process for inclusion, this feature should work. However, if the system employs an inclusion process
based on the Z-Wave product ID, then specic product support would need to be implemented.
Instant Status: This feature is supported using a Z-Wave MULTILEVEL REPORT and the CENTRAL SCENE command class. All Z-Wave
cered systems should support the MULTILEVEL REPORT feature.
RGB LED Control: This feature is supported using Z-Wave parameter commands. Most Z-Wave cered systems provide a method
for issuing parameter commands to individual products. HomeSeer systems simplify the use of this feature by providing event ac-
ons to send parameter commands. A complete list of parameters may be found on the next page.
