Introduction
ZRC‐90 Scene Master (Figure 1) is a Z‐Wave Simple Controller. The
gateway only need to configure lifeline association in relevant nodes
before the home control application can take action in the gateway.
The scene will be activated via a push button on ZRC‐90. There is
unlimited to Z‐Wave devices since it trigger your gateway pre‐set
scene in which there can be different kind of devices including full
range Z‐wave devices, WiFi and other devices.
ZRC‐90 equipped with 8 scene buttons and LED indication at front and
back, it can be mounted by wall bracket at front door or place at
coffee table, anywhere at home.

Glossary
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe
an individual ZWave device. These are all
Device or Node
interchangeable when setting up your Z‐
Wave network.
Inclusion Add a Z‐Wave device to the network.
Exclusion Remove a Z‐Wave device from the network.
A collection of Z‐Wave devices controlled by
primary and secondary controllers operating
Z‐Wave on the same system. A Z‐Wave network has
Network its own unique ID code so that controllers
not in the network cannot control the
system.
A collection of Z‐Wave devices configured to
turn to a specific level, setting, mode, or
Scene perform an operation. Scenes are usually
activated by a controller, timed event, or
specific conditions.
The first controller used to set up your
devices and network. Only the Primary
Controller can be used to include or remove
Primary
modules from a network. It is recommended
Controller
that you mark the primary controller for
each network for ease in modifying your
network.
A controller containing network information
about other modules within the network
Secondary and is used for controlling devices.
Controller Secondary controller is created from the
Primary Controller and cannot include or
remove modules to the network.
3
When a SUC is also configured as a node ID
server (SIS) it enables all other controllers to
include/exclude nodes. The SIS
SUC ID Server automatically becomes the Primary
(SIS) Controller in the network when enabled.
There can only be one SIS in each individual
network. To avoid inconsistency, all node ID
allocations are maintained by the SIS.
The SIS enables other controllers to
include/exclude nodes to/from the network.
When SIS functionality is enabled the
controller also takes the role as the Primary
Inclusion
Controller because it has both latest
Controller
network topology and allocated node IDs. All
the other controllers are called Inclusion
Controllers because they can
include/exclude nodes to/from the network.

Setup and Operations
Before using the ZRC‐90, please install the batteries:
2xAAA (alkaline is recommended) batteries are required for
operation.
Remove the battery cover on the back of your remote.
Check the polarity of the batteries and the "+/‐" marks inside the
battery compartment.
Insert the batteries.
Push the battery cover back in place.
CAUTION (battery safety)
Use new batteries of the recommended type and size only.
Never mix used and new batteries together.
To avoid chemical leaks, remove batteries from the remote
controller if you do not intend to use the remote for an
extended period of time.
Dispose of used batteries properly; do not burn or bury them.
(Please carefully read through the following sections of this user
manual and store for future reference.)
ZRC‐90 can be included and operated in any Z‐Wave network with
other Z‐Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or
other applications. All non‐battery operated devices within the
network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase
reliability of the network.
ZRC‐90 can act as a secondary simple controller and trigger the pre‐
defined scenes through the gateway. Please follow “Add ZRC‐90 into
gateway network” by the procedures of “Learn mode” and “Scene
activation and deactivation”.
Z‐Wave Learn mode
ZRC‐90 can also receive network information from other controllers
by enter “Learn mode”.

Physical Installation
In case you need to mount the ZRC‐90 into the wall bracket, please be
sure to fully read the following precautions and procedures.
MOUNTING LOCATION PRECAUTIONS
Before mounting, check the material and structure of the
mounting location. If the location does not have the proper
material or structure, the unit can fall and cause injuries.
Use commercial items that best match the wall structure and
material for the screws and other fixtures.
Do not mount near a kitchen counter, humidifier, or other
location in which it can be exposed to smoke or steam. Doing so
could cause a fire or electrical shock.
Do not mount in locations with high humidity or large amounts of
dust. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock.
Do not mount to locations subject to high temperatures, high
humidity, or exposure to water. Doing so could cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not mount to locations subject to large amounts of vibration,
large jolts, or large forces. These could cause an injury if the unit
falls and breaks.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE PRECAUTIONS
Do not modify parts or use the unit in ways other than its
intended use. Doing so could cause the unit to fall and result in an
injury.
Be sure to fully check that there are no electrical wires or pipes
inside the wall before mounting.
If any of the screws are loose, the unit can fall and cause an injury.
Do not mount the unit with the screws still loose.
Check that the two screws mounted to the wall are fully inserted
into the key holes of the unit. Otherwise, the unit can fall and
cause an injury.
Do not mount the unit so that it sticks out from the wall edge. It
could get hit by people’s bodies or objects and cause an injury.
Supplier will not be liable for any accidents or injuries that occur
due to improper mounting or handling.
When mounting, be careful not to get your fingers pinched or
injure your hands.
13
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
The ZRC‐90 can be mounted to a wall or wooden racks using the two
key holes in the wall bracket.
Notes:
1. The RF reception sensitivity and transmit power are varies
depending on the antenna direction.
2. Before mounting to a wall, be sure to fully read the precautions.

Wireless Information
This device has an open‐air line‐of‐sight transmission distance of 132
feet (40m) which complies with the Z‐Wave standards. Performance
can vary depending on the amount of objects in between Z‐Wave
devices such as walls and furniture. Every Z‐Wave device set up in
your network will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to
each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead
spot.
Radio frequency limitations:
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can
reduce the maximum range of 65 feet (20m) by up to 20 to 30%.
2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then
concrete, brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on
signal strength.
3. Wall mounted Z‐Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range if
they are housed in metal junction boxes which could also reduce
the range by up to 20 to 30%.
Maintenance
1. Do not expose your unit to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high
temperatures or mechanical shocks.
2. Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to
leak.
3. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your unit.
4. Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
5. Do not disassemble the unit, it contains no user‐serviceable parts.
