WALL MOUNTED DIMMERS

The GoControl

™

family of Z-Wave

certiﬁ ed wireless lighting products (smart LED

ﬁ xtures, bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, and plug-in modules) Control Products

(thermostats, irrigation controller and garage door controller) and Sensors (ﬂ ood, leak,

alert sounder, motion sensor and door/window sensor) bring a new level of intelligent

wireless Home Automation capability to commercial and residential environments.

The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote home

automation, security and other applications. This product can be included and operated

in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certiﬁ ed devices from other manufacturers

and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as

repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

The WD500Z5-1 & WD1000Z5-1 Wall Mounted Dimmers allow remote ON/OFF control

and dimming of connected lights. The Z-Wave Wall Mount Dimmer is easily wired in place

of a standard wall dimmer. This device requires a Neutral connection.

GoControl Z-Wave products are easy to install, are Z-Wave certiﬁ ed, and allow dealers to

create an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability

with security, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more

Z-WAVE PLUS FEATURES

The GoControl Dimmer contains a Z-Wave 500 Series Module that supports Z-Wave

Plus

features. A Z-Wave certiﬁ ed portable or stationary Controller can communicate

with the Z-Wave 500 Series Module.

Depending on the capability of the Controller or gateway software, the following

operations can be performed with the GoControl Dimmer. Refer to the Controller or

gateway manual for details.

• Turn the load ON and OFF and dim the load.

• Add or Remove the GoControl Dimmer.

• Assign the GoControl Dimmer to a specific Group/Scene and/or to include

the load as part of ALL ON or ALL OFF system commands.

• Over-the-air firmware update by the gateway or static Controller.

• Lifeline function which automatically notifies the associated modules and

the network that a manually reset device is no longer in the network, thus,

the corresponding association becomes invalid.

PREPARATION

DANGER! SHOCK HAZARD. Read and understand these instructions before

installing. 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. It is recommended that a qualiﬁ ed electrician perform this

installation. Make sure the total load controlled does not exceed the rated maximum.

For indoor use only. Retain instructions for future use.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other

equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a motor operated appliance, a

ﬂ uorescent lighting ﬁ xture, or a transformer-supplied appliance, but only permanently

installed incandescent lamp ﬁ xtures. Make sure the lamp(s) to be controlled directly from

the dimmer total no more the maximum rated load.

Air Gap Switch

The GoControl Dimmer has an air gap switch on the face (lower left), that when pulled

out, completely removes the power available to the load (simply turning the dimmer off

does not). This enables the lamps that are controlled by the device to be changed with

minimal danger of electrical shock. The air gap switch must be pushed all the way back

in for the dimmer to operate the lamps again.

Proper Single Gang Installation

Using GoControl Dimmer’s standard full heat-sink (all tabs), the connected incandescent

lamp load shall not exceed 500W (WD500Z5-1) or 1000W (WD1000Z5-1).

If a tab is removed from one side of the unit, the connected incandescent lamp load must

not exceed 400W (WD500Z5-1) or 900W (WD1000Z5-1).

If both tabs are removed from the unit, the connected incandescent lamp load must not

exceed 300W (WD500Z5-1) or 800W (WD1000Z5-1).

Proper Dual Gang Installation

The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 400W (WD500Z5-1) or 900W

(WD1000Z5-1) for each of the two GC Dimmer units.

Proper Triple Gang Installation

The connected incandescent lamp load must not exceed 300W (WD500Z5-1) or 700W

(WD1000Z5-1) for each of the three GC Dimmer units.

INSTALLATION

Wiring

Wire this switch in place of a current wall switch according to the wiring diagram. When used,

GoControl Dimmers are required to be wired to the same line (or neutral) which is also wired to

the load being controlled, and not wired to any other neutral. If multiple neutrals are tied together in

one box, separate the neutrals to preserve the integrity of the GoControl Dimmer circuit.

✓ CAUTION! Do not wire unit “live” (with power on the circuit).

Adding to a Network:

Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the command of

the Wireless Controller.

1. With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the switch. The LED will blink

slowly when in ADD Mode.

2. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was added” to the

network and the LED will stop blinking.

3. The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.

If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.

✓ NOTE: If you have trouble adding the GoControl Dimmer 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” 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 as a repeater (only). “RESET UNIT” removes it completely from the network. Creating Associations 1. Learn all devices into the Z-Wave Hub. 2.
