INSTALLING YOUR 4-SCENE CONTROLLER
INTRODUCTION
Leviton’s Vizia RF +® components are designed to communicate
with each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control
of your lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide the
greatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s Vizia RF +®
component line is a Z-Wave® enabled device. In a Z-Wave® network,
each device is designed to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit
the RF signal from one device to another until the intended device
is reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its intended
device by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.
This 4-Scene Controller is meant to control special scene enabled
Z-Wave® products. To control groups of devices that are mixed or do
not support scene command class use the Leviton 4-Zone Controller
(VRCZ4). Setting up this device requires specific advanced controller
functionalities, your controller must be able to associate device to groups
and must be able to control the scene controller configuration commands
such as the advanced Programming Remote (VRCPG).

Step 8 Including 4-Scene Controller into Z-Wave
Network:
NOTES:
•
If using a non-Leviton Programmer/Remote, refer to the Programmer/
Remote instruction sheet.
•
4-Scene controllers incuded into a Z-Wave® network must be
updated after you have included all other devices.
•
If using the VRCPG Install Checklist feature, go to step C.
A) If using a Leviton Z-Wave® Programmer/Remote, Cat. No. VRCPG,
press the Menu button and scroll down to System. Press the center
button to select System Menu. Choose Advanced. Press the center

Node>.
B) If using VRCPG Programmer/Remote, you will be prompted to place
4-Scene controller into programming mode.
C) To access Program mode, press and hold
buttons 1 and 3 (refer to figure). Wait
5 seconds until the LED turns Amber.
Release the buttons and the LED will blink
Amber. You are now in Programming mode.
D) While standing close to the 4-Scene
controller (approximately 1 ft.), press the
center button on the Programmer/Remote
to <Include> device in the network.
NOTE: If the LED on the 4-scene controller
turns solid Red while including, there has
been a communication error.
NOTE: Only one device may be included at
any time.
E) The Primary Programmer/Remote will assign a Home ID, Node ID,
and Name for this device.
NOTE: This information will be stored in the Programmer/Remote to
be used for future reference.
NOTE: You may name or edit your device at this time.

Step 9 Excluding 4-Scene Controller from
Z-Wave® Network:
G) After all devices are included into the network, the controller must
be updated to allow proper network function. To update controller
proceed as follows:
• If using a non-Leviton Programmer/Remote, refer to the
Programmer/Remote instruction sheet for updating controller.
• If using Leviton Z-Wave® Programmer/Remote, Cat. No. VRCPG,
press the Menu button and scroll
Cat. No. VRCPG
down to System. Press the center
button to select System Menu.
Choose Advanced. Press the center
button to select Advanced Install.
Press the center button to select
Update Controller. Your update will
automatically begin.

it again without first excluding it from the
network, the controller will retain the first
node ID it had received and ignore the
second.

D) While standing close to the 4-Scene controller (approximately 1 ft.),
press the center button on the Programmer/Remote to <Exclude>
device from the network.
Factory Default:
If your 4-Scene controller is not responding, or you are unable to control it
after you have tried to Include/Exclude it multiple times, it may be necessary
to reset the 4-Scene controller to its original factory settings. To accomplish
this, proceed as follows:
• On the 4-Scene controller (refer to figure), press
and hold buttons 1 and 3. Wait approximately
5 seconds until the LED turns Amber and then
turns solid Red. Release the buttons. The 4-Scene
controller is now reset. Once the controller is
reset, it will be necessary to Re-Include it to a
network before it can be used.
CAUTION: SETTING A DEVICE TO A FACTORY
DEFAULT DOES NOT EXCLUDE THAT DEVICE
FROM A NETWORK. THE EXCLUSION
PROCEDURE MUST STILL BE FOLLOWED TO
REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM THE PRIMARY
CONTROLLER’S INFORMATION TABLE. FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM THAT IS
SLOW TO RESPOND, OR MAY FAIL TO RESPOND TO SOME DEVICES.
IF YOU HAVE TO RESET THE CONTROLLER WITHOUT EXCLUDING IT
GO TO THE REMOVE FAILED MENU AND REMOVE THIS DEVICE FROM
YOUR VRCPG REMOTE. REFER TO VIZIA RF+® APPLICATION GUIDE
(WWW.LEVITON.COM)
Step 10 Device Association:
After inclusion process, you must associate the devices to
the controllers. Refer to the Primary Programmer/Remote
instruction sheet for complete details.
NOTE: This step requires a controller that can create association lists to
specific groups 1-4.
NOTE: One (1) Z-Wave® device can be associated to multiple controllers
(up to five (5) controllers maximum).
NOTE: If using a non-Leviton Programmer/Remote, refer to the
Programmer/Remote instruction sheet for associating a device.
Step 11a
Scene Programming:
NOTE: All devices associated to the buttons must support
Z-Wave® scene command. If a device in the group does not
support the scene command it will not be controlled.
• Press and hold desired scene button on 4-Scene Controller
until LED blinks Green.
• Adjust devices associated to the button.
• Press button again on 4-Scene Controller and the LED will
stop blinking.
• The scene has now been set.
