Intermatic HA09 Handy Remote Controller Instructions

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Intermatic's Home Settings devices. With these products you can reliably and remotely control lighting and appliances. The outstanding features of the Home Settings program include:

• Feedback that will allow you to see whether your device has received the ON/OFF/DIM signal.
• Ease of installation
• RF signal reliability – each Home Settings product has a special repeater feature that virtually guarantees that RF signals are received.
• If required, more than one controller can be used for the same system.

Z-Wave™ Introduction

The HA09 Handy Remote Controller is a Z-Wave™ enabled device and is fully compatible with any Home Settings network and any Z-Wave™ enabled network. Z-Wave™ enabled devices displaying the Z-Wave™ logo can also be used with Home Settings modules and controllers regardless of the manufacturer, and Home Settings modules and controllers can also be used in other manufacturer's Z-Wave™ enabled networks. Each module in a Home Settings network is designed to act as a repeater. Repeaters can re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.

Glossary of Terms

Channel

A channel will control up to 16 modules, allowing them to be programmed to turn on/off with the same time settings. HA09 has 6 channels.

Device

Any item that is connected to a module (for example, lamps).

Module

Any Intermatic HomeSettings product that is controlled with a remote controller. A module can be controlled by more than one channel.

Network

A collection of devices controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating on the same system. Each network has its own unique identification code so that no one else can control the system.

Primary Controller

The first controller used to set up your modules and network. NOTE: Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or delete modules from a network.

Scene

Lighting modules assigned to the various channels can be set at different levels, thus creating desired light levels throughout your house called scenes. Scenes can be set during the "Associating Modules To a Channel" step (page 9) by choosing ON, OFF and/or DIM settings.

Secondary Controller

A controller containing network information about other modules within the network, and is created from the primary controller. Secondary controllers cannot include or delete modules to the network.

Installing Batteries

1. Open the battery compartment door located on the back of the remote control by pressing down on the battery compartment tab and pulling the door outward. (See Figure 2a)
2. Insert 4 AAA alkaline batteries (not included), placing the batteries as shown in the compartment. (See Figure 2b)
3. Replace the battery compartment door by first inserting the 2 tabs at the bottom of the door, then pressing the door in until the door clicks shut.

Figure 2a: Diagram showing the battery compartment door on the remote.

Figure 2b: Diagram showing the placement of 4 AAA batteries in the compartment.

Installation and Set-Up Recommendations

1. Modules should be plugged into or hardwired into the location where they will be used.
2. For best results, do not move or relocate modules after they have been included into the network. If you wish to re-locate or move a module from a particular location, first delete it from the network, then include it back to the network after you have re-located it.
3. Devices should be plugged into modules before adding modules to the network. Devices (for example, lamps) should be turned to the ON position.
4. HA06 Dimmer Switches have a 40-Watt minimum lamp requirement.
5. Controllers must be brought within 6 ft. of modules during set-up. This is because during set-up, the controller communicates with the modules using low radio transmission power. This helps provide additional security when setting up your network.

Creating a Network

NOTE: Creating a network refers to assigning modules to the master controller. All modules must be assigned to the master controller before any programming or remote control functions can be accomplished.

INCLUDE Modules to a Network

NOTE: Devices should be plugged into modules before adding modules to the network. Devices (for example, lamps) should be turned to the ON position.

1. (See Figure 3a) While holding the door grips, slide the cover down to reveal the INCLUDE and DELETE buttons.
2. (See Figure 3b) Press and release the INCLUDE button. The green LED will flash indicating that the controller is ready to add modules to the system. (If the green LED stops flashing, the controller has “timed out”. The INCLUDE button must be pressed again)

Figure 3a: Diagram showing how to slide the cover to access the INCLUDE and DELETE buttons.

Figure 3b: Diagram showing the press and release action on the INCLUDE button.

Creating a Network (continued)

3. (See Figure 3c) Press and release the programming button on the module. If successful, the LED on the controller and module will turn solid green. If not successful, the red LED will flash and it will be necessary to repeat steps 2 and 3 until the green LED on the controller turns solid green and does not flash.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each module you wish to include into the network.

Figure 3c: Diagram showing the press and release action on the module's programming button.

Associating Modules to Channels

1. (See Figure 4a on page 10) On the remote controller, simultaneously press and hold the ON and OFF buttons of the desired channel. Both red and green LED's will flash. (Note: The LED's will time out after 10 seconds. If this happens, ON and OFF buttons have to be pressed again). Release the ON and OFF buttons.
2. (See Figure 4b on page 10) Press and hold the INCLUDE button.
3. (See Figure 4c on page 10) While holding the INCLUDE button, press the program button on the module. Choose a light level holding the module PROGRAM button until you have set the desired light level. Possible settings are FULL ON, FULL OFF or DIM LEVEL for dimmable modules, (NOTE: Only HA03 Lamp Module and HA06 In-Wall Switch/Dimmer have dimming capabilities) or FULL ON, or FULL OFF for non-dimmable modules.
4. After setting your desired light level, release the INCLUDE button on the remote controller. The green LED's on the controller and module will flash. The module LED will turn solid green.
5. To include additional devices to the channel, repeat steps 1-4.

Resetting the Controller

If needed, you can reset the NETWORK and CHANNEL settings individually or both together.

NOTE: When resetting a controller, for best results, each module within the system should be individually reset also.

Resetting the NETWORK and CHANNELS

This function will completely reset all CHANNEL and NETWORK SETTINGS on the controller.

1. Press and hold INCLUDE and DELETE buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. The red and green LED's will flash.
2. Hold the Channel 1 ON/DIM and OFF/DIM buttons until the green LED turns solid.

Resetting CHANNELS

This function will completely reset all CHANNEL settings without erasing NETWORK information on the controller.

1. Press and hold INCLUDE and DELETE buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. The red and green LED's will flash.
2. Hold the Channel 2 ON/DIM and OFF/DIM buttons until the green LED turns solid.

Additional Features

The HA09 Handy Remote Controller allows you to create two different types of copies of the primary remote controller:

• Replicating both Network and Channel settings will copy all network information and scene information for each channel.
• Replicating the network will copy network information only. This gives you the ability to customize the secondary controller by associating modules to each channel with different light levels to create scenes.

Controller Replication

Each network can have only 1 primary controller. However, you may wish to have the use of more than one controller for your system. To replicate the primary controller:

Replicating the Network and Channel Settings

(See Figure 8a on page 15) On your primary controller:

1. Press and hold INCLUDE for 5 seconds. Both Red and Green LEDs will flash. Release the INCLUDE button.
2. (See Figure 8b on page 15) Press and release Channel 1 ON/DIM on the primary controller. The Green LED will flash to indicate “Transmit All information".

(See Figure 8c on page 15) On the secondary controller:

3. Press and Hold INCLUDE for 5 seconds. Both Red and Green LEDs will flash. Release the INCLUDE button.
4. (See Figure 8d on page 15) Press and release Channel 1 OFF/DIM on the secondary controller. The Green LED will flash to indicate "Receive All information".

Figure 8a: Diagram showing pressing and holding the INCLUDE button on the Primary Controller.

Figure 8b: Diagram showing pressing and releasing the Channel 1 ON/DIM button on the Primary Controller.

Figure 8c: Diagram showing pressing and holding the INCLUDE button on the Secondary Controller, then releasing when LEDs flash.

Figure 8d: Diagram showing pressing and releasing the Channel 1 OFF/DIM button on the Secondary Controller.

Replicating the Network and Channel Settings (cont'd)

After performing steps 1 to 4 on page 14, the controllers will automatically synchronize with each other. If successful, green LED will flash and remain solid for 2 seconds. If not successful the red and green LED's will flash for 2 seconds.

(Note: If the secondary controller is HomeSettings Model HA07 Master Remote Controller, follow the same procedure as the HA09 Handy Remote. Instead of seeing the flashing LEDs on the HA09, the HA07 has an LCD display that will display words describing the operations.)

(Note: If an HA07 [primary controller] is copied to an HA09 6-channel controller [secondary controller], the HA09 will store the HA07's first 6-channels only. Information from channels 7-12 from the HA07 will be ignored.)

Replicating the Network ONLY

This feature allows the user to customize the Secondary Controller while using the same network as the Primary Controller. Follow the same procedure as described in the "Replicating the Network and Channel Settings" section except use the Channel 2 ON and OFF buttons.

Notes on Primary and Secondary Controllers:

1. You cannot include or delete modules to or from the network using a secondary controller.
2. Any time a change is made to the primary controller, the secondary controllers should be reprogrammed or updated using the Controller Replication process (see page 14).

Troubleshooting

Problem: Every time I try to INCLUDE or DELETE modules to my network, I keep getting errors (red LED flashes)

Solution:

• The controller might be a Secondary Controller. Only a Primary Controller may be used to INCLUDE or DELETE modules into or from a network. Use the Primary Controller to INCLUDE or DELETE.
• The module might be part of a different network. Reset the module by pressing and releasing DELETE on the primary controller, then push the program button on the module. Now you may INCLUDE the module using the Primary Controller. (See page 7).
• You have copied from the wrong controller and overwritten your primary controller.

Problem: After I perform a controller replication, neither controller controls anything at all.

Solution:

• The controller might be a Secondary Controller. Only a Primary Controller may be used to INCLUDE or DELETE modules into or from a network. Use the Primary Controller to INCLUDE or DELETE.
• The module might be part of a different network. Reset the module by pressing and releasing DELETE on the primary controller, then push the program button on the module. Now you may INCLUDE the module using the Primary Controller. (See page 7).
• You have copied from the wrong controller and overwritten your primary controller.

Problem: I am trying to turn on a module associated to channel 1, but it will not turn on.

Solution:

• Check to be sure there is power supplied to the module.
• Check to be sure that the lightbulb is not bad.
• The module might be associated as a 'FULL OFF' light-level. Re-associate the module (see page 9) as a 'FULL ON' or as a dimmed light level.

Problem: My programmed events will not automatically execute.

Solution:

• After programming your events, press MODE until the LCD display indicates 'AUTO' or 'AUTORAND' mode.
