Z-Wave VRCZ1-1LZ Owner's manual

Brand: Z-Wave

Model: VRCZ1-1LZ

Type: Owner's manual

Z-Wave VRCZ1-1LZ is a 1-Zone Dimming Controller and Virtual Matching Dimmer Remote designed to provide remote control of your lighting. It operates on a 120VAC, 60Hz power supply and can be used with copper or copper clad wire. No traveler wires are needed as it communicates via radio frequency (RF) technology.

The device features ON/OFF and Brightness level LEDs for 2-way status reporting. It is compatible with other Z-Wave enabled devices and can be included in a Z-Wave network regardless of the manufacturer.
