Z-URCTM 550EU Operations Welcome to the world of home automation, your Z-URCTM 550EU will be able to control all the Z-Wave products around your house. The following section will guide you through the set up processes for your Z-URCTM 550EU. Firstly there is the XpressZetupTM for beginner users that do not have a large amount of Z-Wave products. Following is the advanced set up that you will need to become familiar with as your ZWave network of products continues to expand.
Configurations Please open the configuration compartment then you can see the ZURCTM 550EU setup keys (Figure 2).
Description of Function Keys Keys Functions The All-On and All-Off keys are used for turns on or off all Z-Wave devices in the device database. The On and Off keys are used for the different ZWave groups and scenes control. Press once to access secondary functions for the next button. Press and hold to activate shift lock for permanent use of shift functions. Press shift again to release shift lock. Note: The shift key allows you access group's shift 1 through shift 8 giving you a total of 16 groups.
This Remove key is used in the Advance Setup to: • Remove a device from a group; • Remove a device from an association group; • Remove a device from a scene. Group Control The Z-URCTM 550EU enables you to control single or multiple ZWave devices with the press of a button. For example, you can group all your bedroom lights together so that all of them will turn on with the press of a button. You can control up to 16 groups (Group On/Off) with your Z-URCTM 550EU.
Note2: XpressZetupTM cannot support “Multi-Channel Device”, please refer to [Adding Device to the Network] and [Adding Device/End-point to a group] for normal setup procedure.
Note2: This process will only remove the group devices from its assigned group but will not exclude it from the network.
