Battery Operated Switch VL-9500-BOS-X User Guide
A Step-by-Step Guide for Installing and Operating the
Battery Operated Switch
The VL-9500-BOS-X is a battery-operated wireless device that operates as an accessory in a Z-Wave
network.
It will control associated dimmers or switches and their lighting loads.
You can create a 3-way
where a second location is not currently available without having to add new electrical wiring.
This product
works with other Z-Wave products from different vendors and product categories as part of the same
network.
This product is not a listening node as it is a battery powered device and goes to sleep to conserve
battery life.
Therefore it will not perform the repeater function typical of other Z-Wave devices.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT:
2 CR2025 batteries are included with each VL-9500-BOS-X.
Lift the
battery latch with a screwdriver to open the battery cover.
Remove the
plastic strips from under the batteries.
Observe polarity when installing
the batteries. Be careful to insert the batteries under the 4 small plastic
tabs in the battery compartment.
Re-latch the battery cover.
After the
batteries are successfully installed, the LED on the VL-9500-BOS-X will
blink for one minute to indicate the device in not included in the RF
network.
The device will go to sleep after one minute to conserve
battery life.
When not installed, pressing the ON/OFF button again will
wake up the device, and the LED will resume blinking for one minute to
remind the installer that the device is still not installed in the RF
network.
With normal usage (up to 20 keypresses per day) battery life
is expected to be 1-2 years.
PHYSICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Attach the VL-9500-BOS-X to any flat surface using the double-sided tape provided, or mount it to the wall
using the screws and anchors provided.
NOTE: Do not install an VL-9500-BOS-X over an electrical box.
The
device must be installed onto a flat surface.
Do not install on a metal surface since this will impede the RF
signal.
Z-WAVE NETWORK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The VL-9500-BOS-X can be used as an accessory device which can be included in a new or existing network
IS-0117-U-EN (REV. A)
by using your Z-Wave controller.
To include as an accessory device, select the command on your controller for
inclusion (Install, Add Device, Add Node, Include Device, etc.), then press the VL-9500-BOS-X on/off button one
time to include it in the network.
The LED will blink a few times and then stop blinking after the device is
successfully included in the network.
After inclusion in a network, the VL-9500-BOS-X can then be associated
with and control up to 5 other hard-wired RF devices at one time.
During the association process, your Z-Wave
controller may prompt you to wake up the VL-9500-BOS-X, which will then allow the association process to occur.
To wake the VL-9500-BOS-X press the dim down or up button once.
(For detailed instructions refer to your
controller manual.)
To exclude this device from a Z-Wave network, select the command on your
Z-Wave
controller for exclusion (Uninstall, Remove Device, Remove Node, Exclude Device, etc.), then press the on/off
button one time to exclude it from the network.
The LED will start blinking rapidly and then blink slowly about
10 times.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
• The blue LED indicator is normally OFF.
• The blue LED indicator will blink once when turning a device OFF.
• The blue LED indicator will come on for 2 seconds and then turn OFF when turning a device ON.
• The ON/OFF switch on the VL-9500-BOS-X will turn the load ON/OFF when associated with Z-Wave RF switches.
• The ON/OFF switch on the VL-9500-BOS-X will turn a receptacle ON/OFF when associated with Z-Wave
RF receptacles.
• The ON/OFF switch on the VL-9500-BOS-X will turn the light ON/OFF when associated with a Z-Wave RF
Master Dimmer.
• The UP/DOWN dimmer buttons will control the light level when associated with a Z-Wave RF Master Dimmer.
BUTTON FUNCTIONS REFERENCE FOR THE VL-9500-BOS-X:
On/Off -
Press the On/Off button once.
The installed devices will turn on or off depending on their previous state.
If no devices are installed in the network, the LED will blink rapidly for about 3 seconds.
This will also happen if
the VL-9500-BOS-X cannot reach the devices for any reason.
Possible reasons might be the devices are not
powered, perhaps due to a tripped circuit breaker, or if the VL-9500-BOS-X cannot reach the devices due to poor
RF conditions such as low signal strength.
Dimming -
Pressing and holding the dimming button will cause installed dimmer devices to raise or lower the
dimming level.
Releasing the button will stop this action.
