Introduction

How th Syst m Works

Batteries Required

In order to power on, the tabletop controller requires AA batteries or AC adapter and the handheld controller

requires AA batteries.

Powering On and Off the Controllers

Pressing any button will activate the controllers.

Timing Out

The display backlight will turn itself off after a period of

10 seconds of inactivity. After 60 seconds of inactivity,

the controller will automatically power off. This will cause

all unsaved data to be lost.

Your ASPIRE RF devices function as both receivers, allowing you to control the loads to which they are

attached, and as repeaters, extending and improving signals throughout your home. Rather than depending

on line-of-site communications like other technologies, Aspire RF employs Z-Wave technology that creates

a “mesh” network.

The controller is a portable device capable of both managing your Z-Wave network and controlling all of

the devices on your network.

In addition to your ASPIRE RF Wireless Control System, ASPIRE offers a fully integrated array of devices and

accessories, including smart dimmers, switches, duplex receptacles, and a wealth of accessories to link

your entire network.

This product works with other Z-Wave products from different vendors and product categories as part of the

same Z-Wave network.

Devices enu

A device can be a dimmer switch, a regular switch, or a receptacle. Use this menu to

install and configure each device. From this menu you can also activate individual

devices, check device status, rename a device, change the location of a device, and add a

device to the ALL ON / ALL OFF group. Some advanced functions in this menu include:

Creating an association between devices, activating child lockout, and uninstallation of a

device.

Scenes enu

A scene is a combination of lighting or appliance devices selected by the user that can be

controlled as a group by the wireless system. Once you’ve installed devices into the

system, you can program your controllers to create and control up to 64 scenes in your

home. You can create a list of favorite scenes (such as Bedtime, Movie Time, or Dinner)

that can be accessed with an easy one-touch control. Use this menu to create a scene,

activate a scene, create favorite scenes, rename a scene, renumber a scene, edit a scene,

and delete a scene.

Example: For watching movies, you can create a Scene that dims the overhead

light and turns on accent lights. The scene can then be easily accessed with a

one-touch control.

Events enu

An event is a scheduled one-time or recurring program that launches a scene at a desired

time. You can program your controllers to create and control up to 32 events in your

home. Use this menu to schedule, create, name, edit, change, delete, activate and de-

activate events.

Example: If you plan on a romantic dinner, you can schedule an event to

automatically start a scene which dims the lights for the dinner.

Settings enu

Use this menu to customize your controller with your preferences for day/time, panic

mode settings, add a device to the Panic group, system information, replicating controller

information to a second controller, retrieving version information about your system, and

operating network discovery.

Away enu

The Away feature allows you to edit and control functions that give the impression that

your house is occupied when you’re away for an extended period of time. Use this menu

to activate, de-activate, and edit the Away feature.

Example: If you’re going on vacation you can schedule certain lights to turn on

during evening hours and then turn off at daybreak.
