Removing Associations

To remove the Associations, if the Controller has recognized the Associations, refer to the

Z-Wave Controller’s instructions on how to remove Associations. If the Controller has not

recognized the Associations, removing the PS15EMZ5-1 from the Z-Wave network will

eliminate the Associations.

ADVANCED OPERATION

All On/All Off

The PS15EMZ5-1 supports the ALL ON / ALL OFF commands. The PS15EMZ5-1 can be set

to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF commands four different ways.

Refer to your Controller for information on how to set the PS15EMZ5-1 to operate in the manner

you desire. Some Controllers may be only able to set certain settings of ALL ON/ALL OFF

response.

The four different ways the PS15EMZ5-1 can be setup to respond to ALL ON and ALL OFF

commands are:

1. Responds to ALL ON or the ALL OFF command.

2. Responds to ALL OFF command but will not respond to ALL ON command.

3. Responds to ALL ON command but will not respond to ALL OFF command.

4. Responds to ALL ON and the ALL OFF command.

CONFIGURATION

The PS15EMZ5-1 supports the Conﬁ guration command. Each unit can be conﬁ gured to

operate slightly differently than how it works when you ﬁ rst install it.

Using the Conﬁ guration command you can conﬁ gure the following:

LED Intensity

You can set the intensity of the LED to ﬁ t the environment the PS15EMZ5-1 is being

used in from off to full brightness. This is done by changing Parameter 2

Parameter Length Valid Values Conﬁ guration Option

1 Byte

0 - 99

0 = OFF

1 = Very dim

99 = Full Brightness (default)

Power Monitoring

The PS15EMZ5-1 provides a visual display of the amount of energy being consumed

when the switch is turned on by illuminating the LEDs in one of 5 different colors.

Energy Use LED Color

0 to 0.02 Amps White

0.02 to 2 Amps Green

2 to 5 Amps Blue

5 to 10 Amps Yellow

Over 10 Amps Red

The Power monitoring can be turned off utilizing Parameter 11. When turned off, the

PS15EMZ5-1 will no longer illuminate the LED to indicate any energy use and periodic

reports to the hub on energy use will also be turned off.

Parameter Length Valid Values Conﬁ guration Option

1 Byte 0 Power monitoring OFF

1 Power monitoring ON (Default)

The duration the LED will change color to indicate the amount of energy being used can be set

using Parameter 12. After displaying the “energy used” color, the LED will revert to OFF or ON

(white) as determinded by conﬁ guration parameter #3

Parameter Length Valid Values Conﬁ guration Option

1 Byte 1 - 254 Number of seconds LED displays

power level usage. Default = 30

255 Power level usage continuous ON

Night Light

By default, the LED on the PS15EMZ5-1 will turn OFF when the load attached is turned ON. To

make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turned ON, set Parameter 3 to a value of 1.

Parameter Length Valid Values Conﬁ guration Option

1 Byte

LED OFF when the load is on, and ON when the load

is off (default mode)

LED ON when the load is on, and OFF when the

load is off

2 LED is always on

3 LED is always off

LED blinks during RF transmissions from or to the

device

Over-The-Air (OTA) Update

A Quadruple tap of the switch enables the ﬁ rmware update mode. Firmware update mode

must be entered before the system Controller sends the ﬁ rmware update command to begin

downloading new ﬁ rmware. Firmware update mode is enabled for 60 seconds after the

quadruple tap. If the Firmware update does not begin before the end of the 60 seconds then

ﬁ rmware update mode is exited returns to normal operation. The LED “winks” twice per second

indicating it is in ﬁ rmware update mode.

Resetting to Defaults

Each conﬁ guration Parameter can be set back to its default setting by setting the default bit

in the Conﬁ guration Set command. See your Controller’s instructions on how to do this

(and if it supports it). All conﬁ guration commands will be reset to their default state when the

PS15EMZ5-1 is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using the Controller to reset the node.
