Linear PS15Z-2 - Installation Manual

1
PS15Z-2
Z-Wave Radio Frequency (RF) Controlled, 120 VAC,
15A, Plug-In Appliance Module, Series 300
NOTE: This module must be “included in the Network” only where it will be permanently installed. You cannot “test bench” configure this
module, then install. The proper operation of this node in the mesh network is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes.
PS15Z-2 PLUG-IN APPLIANCE MODULE
Linear’s family of Z-Wave certified wireless lighting controls (switches,
dimmers, outlets and plug-in modules) brings 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.
Embedded in each device, the Z-Wave smart chip enables two-way RF
communication among hundreds of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing
products and services from multiple manufacturers to work seamlessly.
Linear Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create
an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and
interoperability with security and health monitoring systems, 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.
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.
INCLUDING PS15Z-2 TO THE NETWORK
STEP 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.
STEP 2. The PS15Z-2 must be in its permanently installed location.
Tap the button on the PS15Z-2 once.
STEP 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.
BASIC OPERATION
Button (Local Control)
The button on the PS15Z-2 allows the user to:
• Turn the attached load on or off.
• Include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave system.
When a controller prompts you to “Send Node ID” or to “Press Button
on Unit”, quickly tap the button once to satisfy those instructions.
Tapping button 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 PS15Z-2 can be set to any 1 of 3 Protection modes by a wireless
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:
There are 3 modes of Protection and they are the following:
1. No protection
2. Child protection
3. Local Button totally disabled
When Protection is set to “No Protection” mode,the PS15Z-2 works
normally, unit will turn on and off with the button on the unit, or with the
wireless controller.
When Protection is set to “Child Protection” mode, you are required to
press the button on the unit 3 times rapidly to control the attached load.
The PS15Z-2 continues to operate normally using a wireless controller.
When Protection is set to “Button totally disabled” mode the button
will not work to turn the unit on or off. The button can still be used,
however, to access the Z-Wave network. The PS15Z-2 continues to
operate normally using a wireless controller.
Button Functions
1. Adds module under the command of
Wireless Controller
2. Local ON and OFF (push and release).

All On/All Off
The PS15Z-2 supports the ALL ON/ALL OFF commands.
The PS15Z-2 can be set to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands
4 different ways. Refer to your controller for information on how to set
the PS15Z-2 to operate in the manner you desire. Some controllers may
be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL OFF response. The
4 different ways the PS15Z-2 can be set up to respond to ALL ON and
ALL OFF commands are:
• PS15Z-2 will not respond to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.
• PS15Z-2 will respond to ALL OFF command but will not respond to
ALL ON command.
• PS15Z-2 will respond to ALL ON command but will not respond to
ALL OFF command.
• PS15Z-2 will respond to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.
Manufacturer Specific
The PS15Z-2 supports the Manufacturer Specific command. The
PS15Z-2 can return Manufacturer Specific information about itself.
Refer to your Controller’s instructions on how to get this information
from the PS15Z-2.
SUC Support
There must be a Static Update Controller in your Z-Wave system for
this feature to work. The Static Controller can act as a gateway in the
system, since other nodes always know its position (not moved after
addition to the network. The “always listening” advantage of the Static
Controller is that other nodes can transmit information frames to it
whenever needed. You can assign an “SUC Route” to the PS15Z-2.
Refer to your controller’s instructions on how to do this (if it supports it).
Assigning an SUC Route to the PS15Z-2 allows it to request an update
of the Z-Wave devices that are between it and the Z-Wave device to
which it was trying to transmit. The PS15Z-2 will only request an update
when a transmission fails.
Configuration
The PS15Z-2 supports the Configuration command.
The PS15Z-2 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 this parameter
to 1 for normal ON/OFF operation. Set this parameter to 0 to enable
flash mode which operates as follows:
• With Parameter 104 value set to 0, relay is closed and
PS15Z-2 defaults to ON (relay closed)
• Whenever the PS15Z-2 receives a Z-Wave ON command,
the PS15Z-2 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 PS15Z-2 receives
a Z-Wave OFF command, the PS15Z-2 will stop cycling its
output relay and default to ON.
• At any time during that 20 seconds, if the PS15Z-2 receives a
Z-Wave ON command, the PS15Z-2 will add an additional 20
seconds on/off cycling of its output relay. At the end of the 20
seconds, the PS15Z-2 will again default to ON (relay closed).
• At any other time, if the PS15Z-2 receives an OFF command,
it will have no effect and the PS15Z-2 remains ON.
INTEROPERABILITY WITH Z-WAVE™ DEVICES
A Z-Wave™ network can integrate devices of various classes, and
these devices can be made by different manufacturers. The PS15Z-2
can be incorporated into existing Z-Wave™networks. The button on the
face of the PS15Z-2 can be used to carry out inclusion (add to a group),
association (operate coincidently with other nodes), exclusion (remove
from a group) or reset.

IMPORTANT !!!
Linear 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.
