INTRODUCTION
This Monoprice Z-Wave Plus® In-Wall On/Off Switch is a perfect
replacement for a traditional wall switch, allowing for manual and
remote control of incandescent, LED, and fluorescent lighting, as
well as other electrical loads. It is fully compatible with other
Z-Wave® wireless devices, allowing for programmable functions
in custom scenes. It can be used with most Z-Wave compliant
controllers. As part of any Z-Wave network, each device can be
remotely controlled by commands sent from Z-Wave controllers
in real time. Each AC powered device acts as wireless repeater,
transmitting the RF signal from one to device to another, thereby
extending the wireless range of the mesh network.

6
FEATURES
Perfect replacement for a regular wall switch
Compatible with 120 VAC, 15 amp electrical circuits
Wireless Z-Wave® technology creates a mesh network
for command and control interoperability with other
Z-Wave compliant controllers and devices
Manual and remote on/off control of any connected
lighting or other electrical load
Can be used for single pole or 3-way (multi-location)
operation
A blue LED illuminates when the load is off

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING!!! Prior to physical installation, use your circuit breaker
or fuse box to remove electric power from the room, then test
the circuit to ensure that electric power is not present.
1. Remove the old switch and faceplate from the electric
box, then disconnect the wire leads.
2. Connect the wire leads to the smart switch, as shown in
either the Single Switch or 3-Way Switch wiring diagrams
in the WIRING DIAGRAMS section above.
3. Check each wiring connection to ensure that it is secure
and that there are no stray wire strands.
4. Insert the switch into the electric box, then secure the
switch to the box using two screws.
5. Use the included screws to attach the faceplate to the
switch.
6. Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

OPERATION
The connected light/device can be turned on in two ways:
1. Using a Z-Wave® controller or remote
2. Manually using the paddle on the switch
Remote Operation
Z-Wave remotes provide control of an individual device, groups
of devices, and scenes. Some brands of Z-Wave certified remotes
may not offer as much flexibility in how you can set up your
lighting control network. Please refer to your controller's
instructions for details on its capabilities and instructions for
adding and controlling devices.
Manual Operation
Momentarily press the top of the paddle to turn on the
connected device.
Momentarily press the bottom of the paddle to turn off
the connected device.
Press and hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 1.5
seconds to turn on the nodes of association group 3.
Press and hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 1.5
seconds to turn off the nodes of association group 3.

With the Z-Wave® controller in "adding" mode, press and
hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 3 seconds. The
controller will verify the add ition and will assign a node
ID to the switch.
With the Z-Wave controller in "removing" mode, press
and hold the top or bottom of the paddle for 3 seconds.
The controller will verify the removal, then will remove
the switch from the network. When removed from the
network, the LED will blink whenever the switch is
turned on.
If the primary controller is missing or inoperable, you
can reset the switch to its factory default settings by
pressing and holding the top or bottom paddle for 10
seconds.
Note: After a power failure, the switch will be turned off.

ALL-ON AND ALL-OFF COMMANDS
Depending upon your primary controller, the Monoprice Z -Wave®
Switch can be set to respond to All-On and All-Off commands in
one of four different ways. Some controllers may not be able to
change the response from its default setting. Please refer to your
controller's instructions for information on whether or not it
supports the configuration function and if so, how to change the
setting.
1. It will respond to All-On and All-Off commands (default).
2. It will not respond to All-On or All-Off commands.
3. It will respond to All-Off commands, but will not respond
All-On commands.
4. It will respond to All-On commands, but will not respond
All-Off commands.

WIRELESS RANGE
This device complies with the Z -Wave® standard of open
line-of sight transmission distances of up to 131 feet. Actual-
performance in a home dep ends on the number of walls between
the remote controller and the destination device, the type of
construction, and the number of Z -Wave enabled devices
installed in the contro l network. AC powered Z-Wave enabled
devices act as a signal repeater and multiple devices result in
more possible transmission routes , which helps eliminate RF
"dead spots."
The wireless RF range is affected in the following ways:
•Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.)
between the remote or Z -Wave device and the
destination device will reduce the maximum range by
approximately 25 -30%.
•Brick, tile, or concrete walls block more of the RF signal
than walls made of wooden studs and plasterboard
(drywall).
•Wall mounted Z -Wave devices installed in metal junction
boxes may suffer a significant loss of range
(approximately 20%) , since the metal box blocks a larger
part of the RF signal.

14
The following table shows some basic calculations for RF range.
Note: The distances shown in the table above are typical
examples. Actual perf ormance in your home will vary.
