13. Getting Started: What You Will Need
• Z-Wave lock compatibility
• g!5.9 and above
• Leviton VRCOP Serial interface
• It must be a ‘3’ series (see image)
• Firmware must be updated
• All VRCOP units sent from Is your VRCOP compatible?
Worthington Distribution as of Look on the back for ‘vizia rf+ 3’
1/1/2012 is updated and a
sticker is added to the box
before shipment (see image)
• Firmware updates for the
VRCOP ‘3’ series can be
updated from Leviton.com Worthington Distribution is updating serial
(Click on Home Automation) interfaces before shipping (as of 1/1/2012).
• Use a Leviton VRUSB-1US USB Look for the sticker above on the box

16. Z-Wave Mesh Networking
• Networking technology to route information between
devices
• Allows reconfiguration around blocked paths by "hopping“
• Mesh network
• No repeaters required
• More devices = better coverage
• Estimated 75’ (open air) range between devices
• Results vary based on construction and environment,
35’+ installed distance is typical
• Self-healing: network can still operate even when a device
breaks down or a connection goes bad
• 900MHz frequency at 9.6K and 40K baud
• Only uses devices that have been programmed into the
network
• Enough devices must be in network for sufficient coverage

17. More modules = Better Coverage
• Z-Wave is a mesh network
• AC Powered devices can repeat
R1 R2 R3
transmissions to reach devices that the
serial module can not reach directly
• Worthington Distribution has found
R4 Z-Wave to be effective in traditionally
constructed homes up to 7,500
• Z-Wave devices that are running on
batteries DO NOT repeat Z-Wave
commands
• Examples: Locks and battery powered
thermostats

18. Choose Modules with Beaming
• Understanding Beaming is critical to success with locks
• When the serial module is unable to talk directly to a lock it will need
the assistance of other AC powered (non-battery) devices in the
network to repeat the messages
• ONLY DEVICES WITH BEAMING SUPPORT CAN WAKE A LOCK
• Beaming is required to ‘wake-up’ 2-way battery devices
• Many (most) shipping Z-Wave devices do not feature beaming support
• All devices with new chipsets include beaming support; however, not all
products feature the new chips
• Without beaming, the locks will not communicate no matter how many
non-beaming devices are added to the network
• Beaming communication does have noticeable delay

20. Z-Wave Best Practices
Stay away from controlling devices
mounted outdoors and in outbuildings
• Exterior materials can effect signal
• Examples
• Aluminum siding
• Wire mesh – stucco and stone
• Foil backed installation
• Low-E Glass
Property of Worthington Distribution.
May Not Be Reproduced Without Permission
• Low temperatures are a concern
800-282-8864

21. Z-Wave Best Practices
• Best practice is to expand coverage in pairs
• More options allows the mesh to try alternate paths
• The temptation when expanding coverage is to just add a single
device half way. While this has been known to work, for
consistent results add 2 devices around the halfway point.
• When using plug-in modules, choose locations that are unlikely to
be unplugged or moved
• Behind furniture is often a great location
• If out of site, label “Communication Device, Do Not Remove”
Property of Worthington Distribution.
May Not Be Reproduced Without Permission
• Once placed and programmed DO NOT RELOCATE ZWAVE
800-282-8864 DEVICES

22. Z-Wave is RF: Think Metal!
• Z-Wave uses RF signals
• Metal reflects signals
• Metal does not mean it will not work, just be aware of
large metal objects and plan accordingly
• Metal junction boxes effect RF transmission patterns
• Often more devices are needed for the same
coverage
• Do not place the Leviton Z-Wave Serial Interface in a
metal structured wiring enclosure or equipment rack

25. Learn the Locks
Install First
•Install the locks in the FINAL location before enrolling
• It is NOT advisable to learn the locks and then install them
•Once you hit OK, use the following slides for the proper enrollment procedure
Exclude before Include
•It is a good habit to Exclude a device prior to Including it in
your new Zwave network
• In enough cases to be troublesome a device is tested
on the production line but not removed from their test
network
• This causes issues with learning the lock into a new
network
•Excluding a device is very similar to including a device. Start
by selecting Exclude Device then skip to the instructions for
your lock

35. USB Stick Orientation
Blind spot at • RF devices often do not radiate evenly in all directions
close
distance • The USB stick radiates out the sides more than the end
• Typically this is a non-issue except in very close range applications
• The time to be aware of the USB stick radiation pattern is when you
have a laptop cradled in your arm
• If the USB stick is in the back, installers like to get the stick
near the target device; unfortunately, that puts the device right
in the ‘blind spot’
• Point the side of the stick towards the device for better results

36. A Device Will not learn
• In current Z-Wave versions, a device must be within
the standard (3’) or long range (75’ open air) inclusion
circle during the learning phase
R1 R2 R3 • Depends on when the device was designed
• Beaming devices typically support long range
inclusion
• If other devices will be needed to ‘hop’ to the USB stick
R4
then it will likely not learn
• It is best to have the PC and stick in the room
when learning
• This is most important with locks

• Static Routes
R • Z-Wave is a mesh network that depends

on other devices in the network to ensure
commands get to their destination
• Learning devices into the USB stick
establishes the paths
• Removing or Moving a device disrupts
the path and causes serious issues

38. Rediscovery
• Z-Wave paths are critical to success
• Paths are traditionally established during the learn process
• Rediscovery establishes new paths using devices currently
R R R3 assigned to the network
1 2
• Start by learning all of the devices into the USB stick
• Place the devices in their final location
R • Use the rediscovery feature

• Update the VRC0P using ‘Update Routes’ after rediscovery
Property of Worthington Distribution.

800-282-8864

39. Rediscovery Power Level
• Choose Power Level
• The Power Level is useful for ensuring there is
‘room for error’ when routes are chosen
• Lowering Power Level means devices transmission range is
lowered as routes are discovered so fewer devices are available
• The devices chosen for routes during low power rediscovery
will have high signal strength during normal operation
• Choosing a power level
• In typical installations, start with -6dB
• The only exception is when the home has a large amount
of Z-Wave (every light switch in the home)
• A low Power Level will cause the system to hop more
than it needs to resulting in slower communication
• Start the Network Rediscovery
• If you start with -6dB and all devices don’t pass, try -4dB
• If -4dB does not pass you likely need more modules
• Always update the serial interface after a Network Rediscovery
Property of Worthington Distribution.

800-282-8864

40. Update Routes
• When a Rediscovery is used the serial needs to be updated
• The serial update allow the serial to use the new paths that
were discovered
• After the serial has been updated, the locks need to be offered
the newly discovered pathways for speaking back to the serial
• Under Diagnostics choose Update Routes
• Check each lock
• Click Update Routes
