Note 1: If you can’t add your Z-Wave device, this device might have

been included in another Z-Wave network. In this case, please delete

this device following the steps in the [Deleting Device from the

Network] section then add this device again.

Note 2: This step can be skipped if the device is already included in the

network.

Note 3: In a Z-Wave network, only the primary controller or inclusion

controller can add or include devices into its network. If ZRC-100 is

configured as a secondary controller, it will report “Error” if users

attempt to use ZRC-100 to add a device into its network.

Note 4: If no ACK signal received for more than 180 seconds, the “Add

Device” mode will exit automatically.
