Jasco Z-Wave Auxiliary Switch User manual

Z-Wave® Certied
Wireless Lighting Control
Auxiliary Switch
45710
ZW2004
Made in China

This auxiliary switch is a component of the JASCO
Z-Wave®lighting control system and is designed to
work with all Jasco branded Z-Wave Dimmer and on/
off switches. Use one auxiliary switch for 3-way control
such as the top and bottom of a staircase (1 load/light & 2
switches) with one of the above Z-Wave devices. Two or
three auxiliary switches can be used with these dimmers
and switches to create a 4-way (1 load/light & 3 switches)
or 5-way (1 load/light & 4 switches) lighting system.
The 45710 auxiliary switch is not Z-Wave enabled
and must be used exclusively with one of the Z-Wave
devices listed above. It is not designed for stand-
alone use to control an electrical load. It does not
have Z-Wave functionality and does not act as a
repeater in your Z-Wave control network.
This switch communicates with the Z-Wave enabled
switch through the traveler wire, providing manual On/Off/
Dim control of the connected lighting (through the active
Z-Wave switch) and synchronization of the lighting status
(On/Off/Dim level) between the switches.
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit.

This device is intended for installation in accordance
with the National Electric Code and local regulations
in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code
and local regulations in Canada. If you are unsure or
uncomfortable about performing this installation consult
a qualied electrician.

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.

continued
For these reasons, we recommend the following:
1. Assign Z-Wave controlled appliances to device
numbers 10 – 18 on the JASCO remote. The
likelihood of unintentionally turning on the appliance
will be reduced signicantly 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
JASCO 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.
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!

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 3-WAY CIRCUITS
The term “3-way circuit” refers to a circuit with two switches
and one load (light) like you nd at the top and bottom of a
stairway. There are many ways to physically wire a 3-way
circuit and it is important to understand how the circuit you
wish to upgrade to Z-Wave control is wired. Below is a
description of a typical 3-way circuit.
One of the ways to wire a two-switch/one-load circuit is
to route the incoming power through the rst switch, then
to the second switch and then to the load. Although very
common and by no means a standard, it is the easiest to
convert to Z-Wave control. With this type of circuit, Switch
1 is replaced by the Z-Wave auxiliary switch and Switch 2
is replaced with the primary Z-Wave switch. The auxiliary
switch does not actually control the power; instead, it sends
a momentary voltage signal through the traveler wire to the
primary switch which in turn, controls the power to the load.

Please consult an electrician if you have trouble
identifying the type of wiring circuit you wish to
convert or if you do not feel condent in your ability to
convert the circuit to Z-Wave control.

To change color of the switch
1. Push side tabs in on one side and then the other to
release cover. Lift the cover up and off.
2. Simply put the new cover onto the switch by inserting
the air gap and side tabs and snapping securly
into place.

INSTALLATION
This switch may be used in new installations or to replace
an existing wall switch when converting a 3 or 4 way circuit
to Z-Wave. It can not be used by itself for 2-way control
(one switch & one load).
Please note: The Auxiliary switch(s) must be wired to
the same Neutral as the Z-Wave enabled switch and the
lighting device. It must not be wired to any other Neutral. If
multiple Neutrals are tied together in one box, separate the
neutrals to preserve the integrity of the circuit.

SHOCK HAZARD!
Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit for the switch
and lighting xture at the service panel. All wiring
connections must be made with the POWER OFF to
avoid personal injury and/or damage to the switch.
