Z-Wave Repeater
USER MANUAL
Introduction
Thank you for choosing ZRP-120 Z-Wave Repeater product. ZRP-120 is a Z-Wave
repeater with best RF performance to replicate Z-Wave signals in a network. The
repeater re-transmits an input Radio Frequency (RF) signal by routing the signal
around obstacles and radio dead spots to ensure that the signal is received at its
intended destinations.
ZRP-120 is a security enabled Z-Wave plus device. A security Enabled Z-Wave Plus
Controller must be used in order to fully utilize the product.

Glossary
Device or
Node
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave device.
These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave network.
Inclusion
Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion
Remove 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.
Network
Wide
Inclusion
(NWI)
Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end-user friendly, Plug and Play
like Z-Wave network installation as well as professional installation scenario
where the inclusion process, in terms of time will be reduced significantly.
NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named Explorer which
enables the Z-Wave protocol to implement Adaptive Source Routing.
Z-Wave
Network
A collection of Z-Wave devices is 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 is used to set up your devices and network. Only the
Primary Controller can be used to include or remove devices from a
network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for each
network for ease in modifying your network.
Association
Association is used to organize nodes in different groups allowing the device
to identify the nodes by a group identifier. The groups can also be copied to
other devices.
Security S2
Security S2 enables secure communication for the devices that run for
years on a single battery.

Installation Location
WARNING:
To avoid fire, shock, or death; turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off
before dismount or mount the unit with the screw!.
In case that the user needs to mount the unit with screw, please refer to below figures and
select the desired configuration. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this
installation.

Note:
When plug the ZRP-120 into theAC receptacles, there will be an air gap between ZRP-120
and wall plate. User can use additional 1 or 2 washers to fill up this air gap and to stabilize the
installation.
ZRP-120 will not block lower outlet when plugged into upper outlet of a duplex wall receptacle
and vice versa. Possible configurations are illustrated below.

Z-Wave setup and operations
Include/Exclude ZRP-120 to/from a Z-Wave Gateway
Include or Exclude the ZRP-120 from the existing Z-Wave Home Control Network with
your primary controller.
-Refer to your primary controller instructions to process the inclusion / exclusion
setup procedure.
-When prompted by your primary controller, triple click the PROG button within 1
second.
-The primary controller should indicate that the action was successful. If the
controller indicates the action was unsuccessful, please repeat the procedure.
Notes:
1, It is recommended to perform the Remove (Exclude) procedure before performing an Add
(Include) procedure.
2, The unit will enter classical inclusion/exclusion first, then jump to NWI, and after 20
seconds, it will finally exit NWI mode automatically if there is no inclusion/exclusion
request.)
3, ZRP-120 will not support Basic Command Class
4, All configuration parameters value will keep no change after exclude the unit from network
5, ZRP-120 can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified
devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications.
The Below listed Command Class are all supported the Security S2

Operations
LED Indication Status
Device not currently paired into
a Z-Wave network
LED will continuously flash two times per second.
Learning / NWI mode:
Triple click on PROG button
If the device already existing in the network, LED will flash slowly
for 20 seconds, and then return to previous ON or OFF stage.
If the device does not exist in the network, LED will keep flash
slowly and waiting for Network Wide Inclusion (NWI)
(The device will exit NWI mode automatically after 20 seconds)

LED will flash 2 times, and then return to previous ON or OFF
stage.
Configure command error
LED will rapidly flash 6 times, and then return to previous ON or
OFF stage.
Restoring Factory Defaults
All Configuration Parameter values and Association information will be restored to factory
default settings and excluded from the network.
Step
Setup Key
LED Indication Status on ZRP-100
1
Press and keep holding the PROG
button for not less than 10 seconds.
- LED state will toggle for first 5 seconds of
being pressed.
- LED state will toggle again after the
remaining 5 seconds.
2
Release the PROG button then triple
click the PROG button within 2 seconds
of step 1.

Support for Association Groups
ZRP-120 supports 1 association group
Association Group #1
Association Group #1 (max. 1 node) is default to associate with the primary controller
(Gateway/Hub/Controller) for Z-Wave Repeater Status change report, refer to below for
report details:
a) Device Reset Locally Notification (Only report when the Z-Wave Repeater has been
triggered the RESET TO DEFAULT)
Wireless Information
Wireless range:
This device has an open-air line-of-sight transmission distance of 40m, which is compliant
with Z-Wave Plus standards. Performance can be vary depending on the type of obstacles,
such as walls and furniture, between the Z-Wave devices. Every Z-Wave device set up in your
network will act as a signal repeater, allowing them to talk to each other and to find alternate
routes in the case of reception dead spots caused by these obstacles.
Radio frequency limitations:

Page 7 of 9
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can reduce the maximum
range by up to 20 to 30%. Plasterboard and wooden walls will have less effect on the
signal than concrete, brick, or tile.
2. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range if they are housed in metal
junction boxes, which could 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 corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your unit.
3. Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
4. Do not disassemble your unit; it contains no user-serviceable parts.
