On/Off Relay Switch and 3-Way Switch Kit Introduction Thank you for your purchase of a GE Z-Wave® control device. Z-Wave technology is designed to automate lighting/home control and provide easy remote operation of all your Z-Wave enabled de- vices. The GE Z-Wave product family includes a variety of devices to control lighting in your home.
1. Assign Z-Wave controlled appliances to device numbers 10 – 18 on the GE remote. The likelihood of unintentionally turn- ing on the appliance will be reduced significantly because the “Shift” button will need to be pressed before pressing device numbers 10-18.
Things to consider regarding RF range: • Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.) between the remote or Z-Wave device and the destination device will reduce the maximum range by approximately 25-30%. • Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of wooden studs and plasterboard (drywall).
One of the ways to wire a two-switch/one-load circuit is to route the incoming power through the first switch, then to the second switch and then to the load. Although very common and by no means a standard, it is the easiest to convert to Z-Wave control. With this type of circuit, Switch 1 is replaced by the Z-Wave auxiliary switch and Switch 2 is replaced with the primary Z-Wave switch.

11. OPTIONAL for 3 or 4-way control): Connect the Traveler wire (usually Red) to the screw terminal marked TRAVELER. The other end of this Traveler wire connects to the TRAVELER screw terminal on the 45610 Auxiliary Switch. See the following section for information about wiring the 45610 Auxiliary Switch.

ADVANCED OPERATION The following Advanced Operation parameters require that you have an advanced controller like the GE model 45601 LCD remote. Advanced remotes from other manufacturers may also be able to change these settings; however, basic remotes do not have this capability.
Z-Wave certified products, your controller must include the appropriate device classifications in order to control non-light- ing Z-wave devices. As an example, the GE 45600 basic remote is designed only for controlling Z-Wave devices using the lighting control classification. The GE 45601 deluxe remote with LCD read- out can control other Z-Wave certified devices like thermostats as well as lighting.
