DSC26103 In-Wall Switch Guide

Specifications:

  • • Power usage: 120V 60Hz input, 1200W or 10A max output.
  • • Reporting: the Z-Wave in-wall switch can report wattage energy usage or kWh energy usage to a Z-Wave gateway or controller when requested.
  • • Compatibility: the wireless module is powered from the main supply and is a three-wire design which requires a neutral connection. In the event of a power failure, non-volatile memory retains all programmed information relating to the units operating status.
  • • Z-Wave repeater: it also is a repeater in the Z-Wave network. Acting as a bridge for communication, it will forward Z-Wave command messages to their destinations if the originating controller is out of range from the destination node.
