Adding a ZWave Lamp Module to an Existing Network

Synopsis: ZWave Lamp Modules are always on devices. This enables them to act as repeaters on the network extending the range of wireless devices. Follow these steps to extend the range of one or more wireless ZWave devices.

  1. Identify which wireless devices you'd like to extend. It's important that the Lamp Module will be in between the system and these devices; as a repeater would.
  2. Disconnect the Z-Stick from the system
  3. Press the blue-ringed button on the stick for several seconds to put it in Delete Mode – rapid blink
  4. At the first device, press the button on the device to delete it from the stick. (Note, for Hawking contact sensors, press the button 3 times rapidly, rather than just once.)
  5. Repeat the previous 4 steps for each device you'd like to extend
  6. Press the blue-ringed button to turn off delete mode, then press the button again to put the Z-Stick in Add Mode – slow blink
  7. Make sure the Lamp Module is plugged into a receptacle
  8. At the Lamp Module, press the button on the module to add it to the stick – the blue ring will go solid.
  9. Do the same for all the devices you have removed in step 4.
  10. Plug the Z-Stick back into the system
  11. On the touchscreen:
    1. Press the System (Gear) button
    2. Enter the 4-digit System PIN (which is set, and can be viewed, on the Advanced Settings screen in the Care Menu)
    3. Press "Devices"
    4. Press the "Scan Zwave Network" button - the scan will start automatically
    5. Some devices may show up as "Unknown Device" - these may have gone back to sleep. Press the program button on the device again, then click the Unknown Device on the Devices screen, and click the "Rescan" button.
