45606 Wireless Lighting Control On/Off/Dim Dimmer Switch SmartHome ™ Z-Wave® Certified Wireless Lighting Control
Introduction: Thank you for your purchase of a GE Z-Wave® control device. Z-Wave technology is designed to automate lighting/home control and provide easy remote operation of all your Z-wave enabled devices. The GE Z-Wave product family includes a variety of devices to control lighting in your home. It is up to you whether you want to control one room or your entire house and whether you want to do it all now or start with one room and add more over time.
CAUTION This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about performing this installation consult a qualified electrician. This dimmer switch is designed for use only with permanently installed incandescent lighting fixtures.
WARNING RISK OF FIRE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK OF BURNS Controlling Appliances: Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control appliances. Operation of the Z-Wave device may be in a different room than the controlled appliance, also an unintentional activation may occur if the wrong button on the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devices may automatically be powered on due to timed event programming.
Wireless Range This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of openair, line of sight transmission distances of 65 feet. Actual performance in a home depends on the number of walls between the remote controller and the destination device, the type of construction and the number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the control network.
Effects of Home Construction on Wireless Range Between Z-Wave Enabled Devices. Note: The distances shown in the table below are typical examples. Actual performance in your home will vary.
Please Note: Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work properly alongside 802.11 wireless computer networks, Bluetooth and other 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz devices. Some baby cams, wireless video devices and older cordless phones using the 900MHz frequency range may cause interference and limit Z-Wave functionality. Many 900MHz products have a switch to select channel “A” or “B”. You may find that one of these channels will cause less interference than the other.
Typical Dimmer Wiring Schematic Black 120 VAC 60 Hz Black Black Green Light White Single, Dual and Triple Gang Boxes The metal plate surrounding the switch assembly is a heat sink. The maximum load rating (500W) is provided when installed in a single gang box with the full heat sink. Multiple 45606 Dimmer Switches may be installed in dual or triple gang boxes and, if necessary, one or both sides of the heat sink may be removed by bending it at the score lines.

WARNING SHOCK HAZARD! Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit at the circuit breaker in your electrical service panel. Ensure power is OFF before you install this device. All wiring connections must be made with the POWER OFF to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the switch. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Shut off power to the circuit at fuse box or circuit breaker. Remove wall plate. ! Warning: Verify power is OFF to switch box before continuing. Remove the switch mounting screws.
Observe Important Wiring Information Always follow the recommended wire strip lengths and wiring combinations when making wiring connections. Important: The wire connectors included with this dimmer are intended to only be used with copper wire. Consult a qualified electrician if you have aluminum wiring. Instructions: 1. 2. 3. Strip insulation 3/8” for 12 or 14 AWG wire. Strip insulation 7/16” for 16 or 18 AWG wire. Hold stripped ends together in parallel and align any frayed strands (do not twist wires).
Air Gap Switch During normal operation, there is a small amount of power passing through the switch to the load even when the dimmer switch is turned off. The 45606 has an air gap switch on the lower left side (see diagram for location) to completely disconnect power to the load. Pull the air gap switch OUT to disconnect the power while replacing light bulbs and push it all the way back in for normal operation. The air gap switch must be all the way in for the dimmer to function and control the lighting.
Turn ON/OFF and control the brightness level of the connected incandescent lighting. - To turn the connected lighting ON: Tap the top of the rocker. - To turn the connected lighting OFF: Tap the bottom of the rocker. - To brighten the connected lighting: Press and hold the top of the rocker; release when desired level is achieved - To dim the connected lighting: Press and hold the bottom of the rocker; release when desired level is achieved.
Please Note: After a power failure, the 45606 dimmer switch returns to OFF state. LED Indicator The LED will be lit when the connected lighting is OFF. This is the factory default setting and can be changed if your primary controller supports the node configuration function (see Advanced Operation below) ADVANCED OPERATION The following Advanced Operation parameters require that you have an advanced controller like the model 45601 Advanced remote.
LED Light When shipped from the factory, the LED on the 45606 is set to turn ON when the connected light is turned OFF. This allows the LED to indicate the switch’s location in a dark room. To make the LED turn ON when the light is turned ON, change parameter 3’s value to “1”.
