ZRC-90 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 devices within the network will act as repeaters regardless of
vendor to increase reliability of the network.
ZRC-90 can act as a secondary Central Scene controller and trigger the pre-
defined scenes through the gateway. Please follow "Add ZRC-90 into gateway
network" by the procedures of "Learn mode" and "Scene activation and
deactivation".
CAUTION (battery safety)
- Use new batteries of the recommended type and size only.
- Never mix used and new batteries together.
- To avoid chemical leaks, remove batteries from the remote controller if you do not intend
to use the remote for an extended period of time.
- Dispose of used batteries properly; do not burn or bury them.

Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave
device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave
network.
Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.
A collection of Z-Wave devices controlled by primary and secondary
controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its
own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot
control the system.
A collection of Z-Wave devices configured to turn to a specific level,
setting, mode, or perform an operation. Scenes are usually
activated by a controller, timed event, or specific conditions.
The first controller used to set up your devices and network. Only
the Primary Controller can be used to include or remove modules
from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary
controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.
A controller containing network information about other modules
within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary
controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot include
or remove modules to the network.
When a SUC is also configured as a node ID server (SIS) it enables
all other controllers to include/exclude nodes. The SIS automatically
becomes the Primary Controller in the network when enabled.
There can only be one SIS in each individual network. To avoid
inconsistency, all node ID allocations are maintained by the SIS.
The SIS enables other controllers to include/exclude nodes to/from
the network. When SIS functionality is enabled the controller also
takes the role as the Primary Controller because it has both latest
network topology and allocated node IDs. All the other controllers
are called Inclusion Controllers because they can include/exclude
nodes to/from the network.
3User can perform scene control by the keypad of
ZRC-90.

MOUNTING LOCATION PRECAUTIONS
- Before mounting, check the material and structure of the mounting location. If
the location does not have the proper material or structure, the unit can fall and
cause injuries.
- Use commercial items that best match the wall structure and material for the
screws and other fixtures.
- Do not mount near a kitchen counter, humidifier, or other location in which it can
be exposed to smoke or steam. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock.
- Do not mount in locations with high humidity or large amounts of dust. Doing so
could cause a fire or electrical shock.
- Do not mount to locations subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or
exposure to water. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock.
- Do not mount to locations subject to large amounts of vibration, large jolts, or
large forces. These could cause an injury if the unit falls and breaks.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE PRECAUTIONS
- Do not modify parts or use the unit in ways other than its intended use. Doing
so could cause the unit to fall and result in an injury.
- Be sure to fully check that there are no electrical wires or pipes inside the wall
before mounting.
- If any of the screws are loose, the unit can fall and cause an injury. Do not
mount the unit with the screws still loose.
- Check that the two screws mounted to the wall are fully inserted into the key
holes of the unit. Otherwise, the unit can fall and cause an injury.
- Do not mount the unit so that it sticks out from the wall edge. It could get hit by
people's bodies or objects and cause an injury.
- Supplier will not be liable for any accidents or injuries that occur due to
improper mounting or handling.
- When mounting, be careful not to get your fingers pinched or injure your hands.
Physical Installation
Wireless Information
This device has an open-air line-of-sight transmission distance of 132 feet (40m)
which complies with the Z-Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on
the amount of objects in between Z-Wave devices such as walls and furniture.
Every Z-Wave device set up in your network will act as a signal repeater allowing
devices to talk to each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception
dead spot.
Radio frequency limitations:
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can reduce the
maximum range of 65 feet (20m) by up to 20 to 30%.
2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then concrete,
brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on signal strength.
3. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range if they are housed
in metal junction boxes which could also reduce the range by up to 20 to 30%.
Maintenance
1 Do not expose your unit to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high temperatures or
mechanical shocks.
2 Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to leak.
3 Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your unit.
