PS15Z-2 PLUG-IN APPLIANCE MODULE
The GoControl™family of Z-Wave®certified wireless lighting products (smart LED
fixtures, bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, plug-in modules, and thermostats) and
security devices (alert sounder, motion sensor, and door/window sensor) bring a new
level of intelligent wireless 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.
This product supports 40Kbps data transmission. This product can also be used for
network support in systems that stream metadata. An example might include transmission
of information from audio devices such as song title, artist, and album information to various
displays around the home. As part of a Z-Wave network, the PS15Z-2 will act as a wireless
repeater to insure that commands intended for another device in the network are received.
This is useful when the device would otherwise be out of the radio range of the wireless
controller.
For indoor use only. Retain instructions for future use.
INSTALLATION
Plug this Appliance Module into the wall outlet near the load to be controlled, and plug
the load into the Appliance Module. Make sure the load to be controlled is 15 amps (1800
watts) or less.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a grounded type plug that has a
third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug
does not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
✓NOTE: The grounded outlet on the right side of the module is always powered and
can be used for any other appliance.
Adding to a network:
See the Wireless Controller operating instructions for details to include this module under
the command of the Wireless Controller.
1. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network, by adding it to a group
(method of adding a node to the network). Refer to Controller instructions.
2. The PS15Z-2 must be in its permanently installed location. Press the button on the
PS15Z-2 once.
3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “DEVICE WAS INCLUDED”
in the network.
✓NOTE: If you have trouble adding the PS15Z-2 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” with
your controller 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 only as a repeater.
Removing from a network:
The PS15Z-2 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 PS15Z-2
from the Controller.
2. Remove the switch by pressing the button twice.
3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was removed” from
the network.

BASIC OPERATION
Button (Local Control)
The button on the PS15Z-2 allows the user to turn the load attached to the controlled
outlet ON or OFF.
• Tapping button toggles the load attached ON or OFF.
• Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system.
When a Controller prompts to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button on Unit”, quickly tap
the button once to satisfy those instructions. (Tapping the button also toggles the load
attached ON or OFF.)
Remote Control
The PS15Z-2 will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of the Z-Wave
system. Refer to your Controller’s instructions as to whether your Controller can transmit
those commands.
ADVANCED OPERATION
Protection
The PS15Z-2 supports the Protection Command. The module can be set to any one
of three Protection modes by a Z-Wave Controller. Refer to your Controller for information
on how to set the various modes of Protection. Some Controllers may only be able to set
certain settings of Protection. Regardless of the Protection setting, the module will operate
normally when using the Controller.
• When Protection is set to No Protection, the unit works normally, the
module will turn on and off with the button on the unit.
• When Protection is set to Child Protection, press the button on the module
three times rapidly to control the attached load.
• When Protection is set to Button Disabled, the button will not work to
turn the attached load on or off. The button can still be used to access the
Z-Wave network.
All On/All Off
The PS15Z-2 supports the ALL ON / ALL OFF commands. The module can be set to
respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands four different ways. Refer to your Controller
for information on how to set the module to operate in the manner you desire. Some
Controllers may be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON / ALL OFF response.
The four different ways the module can be setup are:
• Module responds to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.
• Module responds to ALL OFF command but will not to ALL ON command.
• Module responds to ALL ON command but will not to ALL OFF command.
• Module does not respond to ALL ON or ALL OFF command.
Manufacturer Specific
The PS15Z-2 supports the Manufacturer Specific command. The module can return
Manufacturer Specific information about itself to the Controller. Refer to your Controller’s
instructions on how to get this information from the module.
CONFIGURATION
The PS15Z-2 supports the Configuration command. The module can be configured
to operate slightly differently that it works when you first install it. Using the configuration
command you can configure the following (if your controller supports it) Set Parameter
104 to 1 for normal ON/OFF operation. Set Parameter 104 to 0 to enable flash mode
which operates as follows:
• With Parameter 104 value set to 0, relay is closed and module defaults to
ON (relay closed).
• Whenever the module receives a Z-Wave ON command, the module will
begin cycling its output relay on and off approximately once per second (1/2
second Off, 1/2 second On) for 20 seconds.
• If at any time during that 20 seconds, the module receives a Z-Wave OFF
command, the module will stop cycling its output relay and default to ON.
• At any time during that 20 seconds, if the module receives a Z-Wave ON
command, the module will add an additional 20 seconds on/off cycling of
its output relay. At the end of the 20 seconds, the module will again default
to ON (relay closed).
• At any other time, if the module receives an OFF command, it will have no
effect and the module remains ON.

IMPORTANT !!!
Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable wireless signaling.
However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices.
As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that
occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer,
and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
