Overview

When you are using Z-Wave protocol ADL sensors, you have your choice of two Z-Wave transceivers (antennas), the Z-Stick or the Z-Troller. The Z-Stick is more commonly used, because of its small form factor. It is also easy to use, and less expensive than the Z-Troller. The Z-Stick has a shorter range than the Z-Troller, and is appropriate for demo systems, apartments, and smaller houses.

How to Install a Z-Stick

At the touchscreen (or for a CoMo box - at the GCTV image):

• Insert the Z-Stick into an available USB port (typically a port on the back of the machine, ideally a lower port, so that smaller USB devices will be visible above the Z-Stick)
• Press the System (Gear) button
• Enter the 4-digit System PIN (which is set, and can be viewed, on the Advanced Settings screen in the Care Menu)
• Press "Peripherals"
• Choose the antenna type (Aeon Labs Z-Stick)
• Choose the port - your choices will be specific to the system hardware
• Press "Turn On"
• Restart peripherals when prompted
• If installed correctly, the row will now be highlighted in green. If there is a problem with the installation, the row will be highlighted in red.
• After it is installed correctly, you can begin to add Z-Wave devices, such as motion sensors, door sensors, etc.
