Manual Control
The ZW500D dimmer switch allows the user to:
1.Turn ON/OFF and control the brightness level of the connected lighting.
-To brighten the connected lighting: Press and hold the top of the dimmer switch
paddle, release when desired level is achieved.
-To dim the connected lighting: Press and hold the bottom of the dimmer switch
paddle, release when desired level is achieved.
-To turn the connected lighting ON: Tap the top of the dimmer switch paddle.
-To turn the connected lighting OFF: Tap the bottom of the dimmer switch paddle.

1.WARNING : To avoid fire, shock, or death. Turn off power at circuit breaker
or fuse and test that power is off before wiring.
2. Remove wall plate and existing switch mounting screws.
3. Carefully remove the existing switch from the switch box.
4. Disconnect the wiring from the existing switch.
5. Connect the Z-Wave dimmer switch as shown in the wiring diagram: Black

Air Gap Switch
During normal operation, there is a small amount of power passing through the switch
to the load even when the dimmer switch is turned off. The ZW500D has an air gap
switch on the lower right side to completely disconnect power to the load. Slide the

WARRANTY INFORMATION
All-ON and All-OFF
Depending upon your primary controller, the ZW500D dimmer switch can be set to
respond to ALL-ON and ALL-OFF commands in up to four different ways. Some
controllers may not be able to change the response from its default setting.Please
refer to your controller's instructions for information on whether or not it supports the
configuration function and if so, how to change this setting.
The four possible responses are:
- It will respond to ALL-ON and the ALL-OFF command (default).
- It will not respond to ALL-ON or ALL-OFF commands.
- It will respond to the ALL-OFF command but will not respond to the ALL-ON command.
- It will respond to the ALL-ON command but will not respond to the ALL-OFF command.

a Z-Wave device and the destination device will reduce the maximum range by
approximately 25-30%.
- Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of wooden
studs and plasterboard (drywall).
- Wall mounted Z-Wave devices installed in metal junction boxes will suffer a signi-
-ficant loss of range (approximately 20%) since the metal box blocks a large part
of the RF signal.
Effects of Home Construction on Wireless Range Between
The distances shown in the table below are typical examples.Actual
performance in your home will vary .
Note:
WIRELESS RANGE
This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line of sight transmission
distances of 100 feet. Actual performance in a home depends on the numbers of walls
between the remote controller and the destination device, the type of construction
and the number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the control network.
Z-Wave Network
Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and multiple devices result
in more possible transmission routes which helps eliminate " RF dead-spots.''
