45610/ZW2001/ZW2002 GE Wireless Lighting Control Auxiliary Switch
This auxiliary switch is a component of the GE Z-Wave® lighting control system and is designed to work with the 45607 Dimmer (ZW3002), 45612 Dimmer (ZW3003) and 45609 On/Off Relay Switch (ZW4001). Use one auxiliary switch for 3-way control such as the top and bottom of a staircase (1 load/light & 2 switches) with one of the above Z-Wave devices.
This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about performing this installation consult a qualified electrician. RISK OF FIRE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK OF BURNS Controlling Appliances: Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control appliances.
continued For these reasons, we recommend the following: 1. Assign Z-Wave controlled appliances to device numbers 10 – 18 on the GE remote. The likelihood of unintentionally turning on the appliance will be reduced significantly because the “Shift” button will need to be pressed before pressing device numbers 10-18. 2. Z-Wave devices controlling appliances should be removed from “All” control setting. Instructions on how to do this are included in the manual for your GE remote. 3.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 3-WAY CIRCUITS The term “3-way circuit” refers to a circuit with two switches and one load (light) like you find at the top and bottom of a stairway. There are many ways to physically wire a 3-way circuit and it is important to understand how the circuit you wish to upgrade to Z-Wave control is wired. Below is a description of a typical 3-way circuit.
Typical 3-way circuit: Black Black Black Colored (NOT GREEN) White Switch 1 Switch 2 Wrong Z-Wave switch position for typical 3-way circuit; Z-Wave 45610 White Black (Load) Black (Line / Hot) Black (Line / Hot) Z-Wave 45607, 45609 or 45612* White White (Neutral)
Correct Z-Wave switch position for typical 3-way circuit: White (Neutral) Traveler - Colored (Not Green) Black (Load) Z-Wave 45610 Z-Wave 45607, 45609 or 45612* Green (Ground) Black (Line / Hot) Please consult an electrician if you have trouble identifying the type of wiring circuit you wish to convert or if you do not feel confident in your ability to convert the circuit to Z-Wave control.
INSTALLATION This switch may be used in new installations or to replace an existing wall switch when converting a 3 or 4 way circuit to Z-Wave. It can not be used by itself for 2-way control (one switch & one load). Please note: The Auxiliary switch(s) must be wired to the same Neutral as the Z-Wave enabled switch and the lighting device. It must not be wired to any other Neutral. If multiple Neutrals are tied together in one box, separate the neutrals to preserve the integrity of the circuit.

Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit for the switch and lighting fixture at the service panel.
Z-Wave 45607, 45609 or 45612 1. Shut off power to the circuit at fuse box or circuit breaker. 2. Remove wall plate. ! Warning: Verify power is OFF to switch box before continuing. 3. Remove the switch mounting screws. 4. Carefully remove the switch from the switch box. DO NOT disconnect the wires. 5. There are five wiring connections on the Z-Wave dimmer and switch; these are marked LINE (Hot), NEUTRAL, LOAD, GROUND and TRAVELER.
10. Connect the black wire that comes from the electrical service panel (Hot) to the lead or terminal marked LINE. 11. Connect the Traveler wire (usually Red) to the wire or screw terminal marked TRAVELER. The other end of this Traveler wire connects to the TRAVELER wire on the 45610 Auxiliary Switch. The TRAVELER terminal or lead must be insulated if you are not using it. See the following section for information about wiring the 45610 Auxiliary Switch. 12.
Observe Important Wiring Information Important: This switch is rated for and intended to only be used with copper wire. Models 45609 and 45612 ONLY: The home’s electrical wires may be attached to the screw terminals or inserted into the holes in the back of the switch enclosure and clamped in place by tightening the screw terminals. Always follow the recommended wire strip lengths when making wiring connections. Wire strip length: • For attachment to screw terminals: Strip insulation 5/8” (max 14 AWG wire).
the brightness level of the connected lighting. Release when the desired level is attained. When installed with the 45609 switch: • Press and release the top of the 45610’s rocker to turn the connected lighting ON. • Press the bottom of the 45610’s rocker to turn the connected lighting OFF.
