PS15EMZ5-1 PLUG-IN MODULE

The GoControl™ family of Z-Wave® certiﬁed wireless lighting products (smart LED

ﬁxtures, bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, plug-in modules) Control Products (thermostats,

irrigation controller and garage door controller)and Sensors (ﬂood, leak, alert sounder,

motion sensor and door/window sensor) bring a new level of intelligent wireless Home

Automation capability to commercial and residential environments.

The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote home

automation, security and other applications. This product can be included and operated in

any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certiﬁed devices from other manufacturers and/or

other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters

regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

GoControl Z-Wave products are easy to install, are Z-Wave certiﬁed, and allow dealers to

create an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability

with security, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.

The PS15EMZ5-1 is a simple Plug & Play Home Automation device that lets you control

any lighting or small appliance while monitoring the amount of energy being used.

Bright multi-colored LEDs provide an instant indication of the energy being used while

simultaneously reporting this information to your Z-Wave hub that may be used for energy

monitoring and analysis.

Z-WAVE PLUS FEATURES

The PS15EMZ5-1 contains a Z-Wave 500 Series Module that supports Z-Wave Plus®

features. A Z-Wave certiﬁed portable or stationary Controller can communicate with the

Z-Wave 500 Series Module.

Depending on the capability of the Controller or gateway software, the following operations

can be performed with the PS15EMZ5-1. Refer to the Controller or gateway manual for

details.

• Turn the load ON and OFF.

• Add or Remove the PS15EMZ5-1.

• Assign the PS15EMZ5-1 to a specific Group/Scene and/or to include the load as part of ALL ON or

ALL OFF system commands.

• Over-the-air firmware update by the gateway or static Controller.

• Lifeline function which automatically notifies the associated modules and the network that a

manually reset device is no longer in the network, thus, the corresponding association becomes

invalid.

• Monitors the amount of energy being used and reports the current usage to the Z-Wave controller

INSTALLATION

Adding to a network:

Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the command of

the Wireless Controller.

1. With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the button on the face of the outlet.

The LED will blink slowly when in ADD Mode.

2. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was added” to the

network and the LED will stop blinking.

3. The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.

If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.

✓NOTE: If you have trouble adding the PS15EMZ5-1 to a group it may be that the

Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must ﬁrst “RESET UNIT”

to remove it from the network. Although adding it to a group includes it in the network,

removing it from a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group,

it functions as a repeater (only). “RESET UNIT” removes it completely from the network.

To Reset Unit (If Required):

In the event that your primary Controller is lost or otherwise inoperable, to reset the

PS15EMZ5-1 and clear all network information, follow these steps:

1. Tap the button on the face of the outlet ﬁve (5) times.

2. Press and hold the button for 15 seconds. The LED will increasingly blink faster to

indicate that a Reset is taking place.

Removing from a network:

The PS15EMZ5-1 can be removed from the network by the Controller/Gateway. Refer to

the Controller operating instructions for details.

1. Set the Controller into Removal Mode and follow its instruction to delete the

PS15EMZ5-1 from the Controller.

2. Remove the switch by tapping the button on the face of the outlet 2 times. The LED will

begin blinking slowly for 10 seconds indicating that it has been removed.

3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was removed” from

the network.

BASIC OPERATION

Local Control

The button on the PS15EMZ5-1 allows the user to:

• Turn the attached load on or off.

• Execute configuration and control features.

Night Light

To act as a night light, the LED on the PS15EMZ5-1 can be conﬁgured to turn ON when

the load attached is OFF. See “CONFIGURATION” section.

Energy Monitoring

PS15EMZ5-1 reports the total accumulated Kilowatt Hours (kWh) and the instantaneous Watts

being consumed by the load.

Parameter LLength Valid ValuesConﬁguration Options

13 2 Byte

Decimal

0 Automatic reporting OFF

1-255 Number of minutes between automatic reporting

(Default = 6)

Conﬁguration Parameter 13 conﬁgures the rate at which the energy readings are reported. If the

maximum kWh value that can be reported is reached (21,474 kWh), then it will remain at the

maximum level until reset to 0 using the Controller software.

To reset, the total accumulated kWh used by the PS15EMZ5-1 the Z-Wave controller needs to

send a reset command at the request of the user. It will also be reset if the PS15EMZ5-1 is

excluded from the Z-Wave network.

The Watts reading provides the immediate reading of the power being consumed by the load.The

Watts reading takes several seconds to settle so wait a few seconds before reading the energy

value when the state of the switch (on / off) has changed.

✓NOTE: If Power Monitoring, see Conﬁguration Section below, is turned OFF the

PS15EMZ5-1 will not report any energy use.

Remote Control

The PS15EMZ5-1 will respond to BASIC and BINARY_SWITCH commands that are part of

the Z-Wave system. Refer to your Controller’s instructions as to whether your Controller

can transmit those commands.

Protection Mode

The PS15EMZ5-1 supports Protection Mode that is used to disable the button on the front

of the device. This eliminates inadvertent activation of the switch. To enable Protection

Mode, press the button on the PS15EMZ-1 three times quickly. The LED will blink Purple

twice showing that Protection Mode has been enabled. When Enabled the only way to turn

ON or OFF the PS15EMZ5-1 is through the Z-Wave controller or Mobile app. If the button

on the PS15EMZ5-1 is pressed, the LED will blink Purple twice and have no impact on the

attached device. To exit Protection Mode, press the button three times.

Associations

The PS15EMZ5-1 supports one Group with one (1) Node for lifeline communication. Group

1 must be assigned the Node ID of the Controller to which unsolicited notiﬁcations from the

PS15EMZ5-1 will be sent. The Z-Wave Controller should set this Association automatically

after inclusion. You can associate up to ﬁve Z-Wave devices to Group 1.

For instructions on how to “set Lifeline Association” please refer to your Controller

instructions.

enter this mode, tap the button four times in a row. The LED will blink Red and White and

then switch to a blinking blue pattern to signify the user may change the nightlight mode.

While in this local conﬁguration mode, a single tap will toggle (turn ON or OFF) the Nightlight

feature of the device. A blinking White/Blue pattern denotes the Nightlight feature is ON. A

blinking White/Black pattern denotes the Nightlight feature is OFF. Once the desired setting

is set; tapping the button four times again will exit the mode. Alternatively, waiting 10

seconds without pressing the button will automatically exit this local conﬁguration mode

feature. The LED will blink Red/White again to signify exiting the mode.

Over-The-Air (OTA) Update

A compatible Z-Wave Hub may initiate an over the air ﬁrmware update. The device will pause

operation and blink an alternating pattern of blue and green. When the OTA is complete, the

device will reboot and continue operation. Operation will continue with all previously conﬁgured

parameters..

Resetting to Defaults

Each conﬁguration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting the default

bit in the Conﬁguration Set command. See your Controller’s instructions on how to do this

(and if it supports it). All conﬁguration commands will be reset to their default state when

the PS15EMZ5-1 is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using the Controller to reset

the node.
