Rated: 120VAC, 60Hz
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DI-000-VRC0P-02A-X1
INTRODUCTION
Leviton’s Vizia RF +
TM
components are designed
to communicate with each other via Radio
Frequency (RF) to provide remote control
of your lighting. Using RF technology allows
Leviton to provide the greatest signal integrity
possible. Each module in Leviton’s Vizia RF +
TM
component line is a Z-Wave
®
enabled device. In
a Z-Wave
®
network, each device is designed to
act as a router. These routers will re-transmit the
RF signal from one device to another until the
intended device is reached. This ensures that
the signal is received by its intended device by
routing the signal around obstacles and radio
dead spots.
CAUTION:
Remember to exercise good common sense
when using the Timer features of your remote,
especially when scheduling unattended devices.
There can be some unexpected consequences if
not used with care. For example, an empty coffee
pot can be remotely turned on. If that should
happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from
overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by
remote control while clothing is draped over it, a
re could result.

is done.
NOTE: If the Plug-In Serial Interface Module
has been successfully Included in the network
and the user tries to Include it again without rst
excluding it from the network, the controller will
retain the rst node ID it had received and ignore
the second.
• Attach RS232 cable to Plug-In
Serial Interface Module and
CPU.
OR
Attach HAI cable to Plug-In
Serial Interface Module and
HAI controller.
• Plug the Plug-in
Serial Interface
Module into wall
receptacle. Verify
that receptacle is
live. If controlled by
a wall switch, the
switch must be kept
ON at all times.

OPERATION
NOTE: For complete details on operating the
Primary Programmer/Remote, refer to the
instruction guide for that particular device.
The VRC0P is intended for use by developers
who want to develop products that can
transmit signals to and receive signals from
Vizia RF +TM products on a Z-Wave®network. A
relatively high level of programming knowledge
is required to develop products that use these
interfaces. The interface uses a simple ACSII
protocol to communicate to the controlling
equipment. If you are an end user who has
purchased this product to work with another
product that was designed for this purpose,
please refer to that product’s owner’s manual for
operating instructions.
If you are a developer who has purchased this
interface to develop a Vizia RF +TM compatible
product, you will need the VRC0P Tech Note,
which contains the information needed to allow
proper interface communication. Please visit our
website listed below to download the VRC0P
Tech note.
• Plug-In Serial Interface Module is
functioning improperly
- Conrm that the device is being supplied
from a 120V, 60Hz AC source ONLY.
- Conrm that the unit is programmed
properly. Repeat “INSTALLING YOUR
INTERFACE MODULE” section to verify
that it has been included into the Z-Wave®
network.
• Programmer/Remote does not operate
lights
- Check association.
- Ensure that Plug-In Serial Interface Module
was properly updated.

NOTE: It is very important to accurately
Exclude devices from the network when
moving or removing a device from a Z-Wave®
network. This ensures that all information has
been removed from your Primary Programmer/
Remote’s information table and is not counted
on to be a part of the mesh network.
A )If using a Leviton Z-Wave®Programmer/
Remote, Cat. No. VRCPG, press the Menu
button and scroll down to System. Press
the center button to select System Menu.
Choose Advanced. Press the center button
to select Advanced Install. Scroll down
to <Exclude Node> and press the center
button.
B) If using VRCPG Programmer/Remote
you will be prompted to prepare device
for exclusion. To do this, you must put
the Plug-In Serial Interface Module into
programming mode.
C) To access Program mode, press and hold
programming button until the LED turns
Amber. Release the button and the LED will
blink Amber. You are now in Programming
mode.
NOTE: If the LED on the Plug-In Serial
Interface Module turns solid Red while
excluding, there has been a communication
error.
D) While standing close to the Plug-In Serial
Interface Module (approximately 1 ft.),
press the center button to <Exclude> device
from the network.
Excluding Plug-In Serial
Interface Module from
Network:
Step 4
Factory Default:
If your module is not responding, or you are
unable to control it after you have tried to Include/
Exclude it multiple times, it may be necessary to
reset the module to its original factory settings. To
accomplish this, proceed as follows:
• Press and hold the programming button until
the LED turns Amber and then turns Red.
Release the button and wait until the LED
starts blinking Green. NOTE: This can take up
to a minute. The module is now reset. Once
the module is reset, it will be necessary to Re-
Include it to a network before it can be used.
CAUTION: SETTING A DEVICE TO A
FACTORY DEFAULT DOES NOT EXCLUDE
THAT DEVICE FROM A NETWORK. THE
EXCLUSION PROCEDURE MUST STILL BE
FOLLOWED TO REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM
THE PRIMARY REMOTE’S INFORMATION
TABLE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM THAT IS SLOW TO RESPOND, OR
MAY FAIL TO RESPOND TO SOME DEVICES.
IF YOU HAVE TO RESET THE CONTROLLER
WITHOUT EXCLUDING IT GO TO THE REMOVE
FAILED MENU AND REMOVE THIS DEVICE
FROM YOUR VRCPG REMOTE. REFER TO
VIZIA RF+ APPLICATION GUIDE
(WWW.LEVITON.COM).
