Operating Instructions
Introduction
The Z-URCTM 550EU Z-Wave AV Controller is a universal AV remote
and also a Z-Wave controller (Figure 1). As a universal remote, the Z-
URCTM 550EU replaces all your AV remotes through its built-in IR
code database or IR code learning. As a Z-Wave controller, the Z-
URCTM 550EU works with Z-Wave enabled devices, support multi-
channel command class devices and controls their on/off or up/down
individually, as a Group, or via a pre-configured Scene.
A perfect kit of Z-URCTM 550EU and ZXT-300EU (Z-Wave-to-AV IR
Extender). It works with any Z-Wave compliant controller or gateway
by translating Z-Wave Simple AV command to IR control code.
User can set the IR code from the built-in code library of ZXT-300EU,
or use the learning function of ZXT-300EU through the simple UI of
Z-URCTM 550EU. User can also download the preset code or learnt
command from Z-URCTM 550EU to ZXT-300EU. User can enjoy the
fully wireless control in anywhere at home.

Glossary
Device or Node Z-Wave enabled device that can be
controlled by the Z-URCTM.
Inclusion Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion Delete a Z-Wave device from the network.
Remove To take a device out of a group, scene or
association group while that device still
exists in the same Z-Wave network.
Z-Wave
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.
Primary
Controller
The first controller used to set up your
devices and network. Only the Primary
Controller can be used to include or delete
modules from a network. It is recommended
that you mark the primary controller for each
network for ease in modifying your network.
Secondary
Controller
A controller containing network information
about other modules within the network and
is used for controlling devices. Secondary
controllers are created from the Primary
Controller and cannot include or delete
modules to the network.
Inclusion
Controller
A controller containing network information
about other modules within the network and
is used for controlling devices. Inclusion
controllers are created from the Primary
Controller in a SIS enabled Z-Wave network.
Inclusion Controller has the ability to add
and remove devices from the network.
Scene
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.

Z-URCTM 550EU Operations
Welcome to the world of home automation, your Z-URCTM 550EU will
be able to control all the Z-Wave products around your house. The
following section will guide you through the set up processes for your
Z-URCTM 550EU. Firstly there is the XpressZetupTM for beginner users
that do not have a large amount of Z-Wave products. Following is the
advanced set up that you will need to become familiar with as your Z-
Wave network of products continues to expand.
Please note that all Z-Wave devices, light switches, dimmers, and
shutter switches made from various vendors are compatible with your
Z-URCTM 550EUas long as they carry the Z-Wave logo:
(Please carefully read through the following then store the manual for
future reference.)
Before using the Z-URCTM 550EU, please install the batteries:
•3xAAA batteries are required for operation.
•Remove the battery cover on the back of your Z-URCTM 550EU.
•Check the polarity of the batteries and the "+/-" marks inside the
battery compartment.
•Insert the batteries.
•Push the battery cover back in place.
LCAUTION (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 Z-URCTM
550EU 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.

Description of Function Keys
Keys Functions
The All-On and All-Off keys are used for turns on
or off all Z-Wave devices in the device database.
The On and Off keys are used for the different Z-
Wave groups and scenes control.
Press once to access secondary functions for the
next button. Press and hold to activate shift lock for
permanent use of shift functions. Press shift again to
release shift lock.
Note: The shift key allows you access group's shift 1
through shift 8 giving you a total of 16 groups.
The ADD and REMOVE keys are used during
XpressZetupTM process.
ADD key will perform two functions:
•Add a target device to Z-Wave network, also
known as INCLUSION;
•Add the device to the assigned GROUP.
REMOVE key will only remove the target device
from its assigned group but will not exclude it from
the network.
This SHIFT key is used for accessing group
numbers 9 to 16 while programming your devices.
These are your group numbers 1 through 8 and also
become group numbers 9 through 16 when
combined with the SHIFT key.
This Configuration key is used during the
ADVANCED SETUP process.
This Association key is used in conjunction with
Add, Delete or Remove keys in order to assign
association groups.
This Scene key is used in conjunction with Add, Delete or Remove keys in order to program scenes.
This Device key is used in conjunction with Add, Delete keys in order to include or exclude devices to
the network.
This Add key is used in the Advance Setup to:
•Add a device to the network (inclusion);
•Add a device to a group;
•Add a device to an association group;
•Add a device to a scene.
This Delete key is used in the Advance Setup to:
•Delete a device from the network (exclusion);
•Delete a group;
•Delete an association group;
•Delete a scene.

9
This Remove key is used in the Advance Setup to:
•Remove a device from a group;
•Remove a device from an association group;
•Remove a device from a scene.
Group Control
The Z-URCTM 550EU enables you to control single or multiple Z-
Wave devices with the press of a button. For example, you can group
all your bedroom lights together so that all of them will turn on with
the press of a button.
You can control up to 16 groups (Group On/Off) with your Z-URCTM
550EU. Each Group supports up to 32 Z-Wave devices or End-point
(EP) and supports up to 232 Z-Wave devices in a network.
Remark: There are total 16 groups of on/off keys which are shared by
Scene and Group, for example, if you used 6 groups as Group, there
are 10 groups on/off keys left for Scene, and vise versa.

Scene Control
Z-Wave Scenes are used for setting up multiple devices in the same
way as a group but in addition to groups, scenes also control dimmer
lights that you can set to different levels depending on the situation.
For example you can have the scene set to low brightness for watching
a movie or going to bed or alternatively set the lights brighter when
reading or working. After the scene has been programmed it will work
with the corresponding ON OFF key on the top side of the remote.
You can control up to 16 scenes (Scene On/Off) with your Z-URCTM
550EU. Each Scene supports up to 32 Z-Wave devices or End-point
(EP) and supports up to 232 Z-Wave devices in a network.
Remark: There are total 16 groups of on/off keys which are shared by
Scene and Group, for example, if you used 6 groups as Group, there
are 10 groups on/off keys left for Scene, and vise versa.
