Leviton Vizia RF+ VRCZ4-MR — 4-Zone Controller with Switch Installation Guide

Installation instructions for the Leviton Vizia RF+™ VRCZ4-MR 4-Zone Controller with Switch (Single Pole) — a Z-Wave enabled controller that manages up to 4 lighting zones from one location.

Overview

Vizia RF+ components communicate via Radio Frequency (RF) as Z-Wave enabled routers, re-transmitting signals from device to device until the intended target is reached. This 4-Zone Controller is designed for zone-enabled Z-Wave products. For mixed device groups that don't support the zone command class, use the Leviton 4-Scene Controller (VRCS4) instead.

Key Features

• Switch ON/OFF with zone capability — controls up to 4 zones without traveler wires
• Two-way Z-Wave communication with ON/OFF LED status
• Interchangeable color rocker/frame kits (White included; Mahogany, Ivory, Gray, Almond, Black available)

Warnings

• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse before servicing, installing, or removing the fixture.
• Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes: 300 ft (90 m).
• Use only with copper or copper-clad wire.
• Recommended minimum wall box depth: 2-1/2".

Installation Steps

1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse; test that power is off before wiring.
2. Identify your wiring application — if it doesn't match the standard 4-wire configuration (Line, Neutral, Ground, Load), consult a qualified electrician.
3. Prepare and connect wires via side wire terminals or backwire openings. Strip gauge: 5/8" (1.6 cm).
   • Green/bare copper → Green terminal screw
   • Line Hot → terminal marked "BK"
   • Line Neutral → terminal marked "WH"
   • Load → terminal marked "RD"
4. Test the device before mounting: position wires with slack, ensure "TOP" faces up, partially screw in mounting screws, restore power. LED should turn on; toggle button 1 to test local load operation.
5. Mount the device by tightening the mounting screws into the wall box, then attach the wallplate.
6. Restore power at the circuit breaker/fuse — installation is complete.

Including / Excluding from the Z-Wave Network

• Include controller: Using a Leviton Programmer/Remote (VRCPG), navigate Menu → System Setup → Advanced Settings → Network → Include Node, then stand within 1 ft of the controller.
• Include local switch: Remain in Advanced Settings, select Include Node again while standing near the VRCZ4.
• Exclude: Navigate to Advanced Install → Exclude Node, then stand near the controller/switch and confirm.
• Manual programming mode (non-Leviton remote): Press and hold buttons 1 and 3 for 5 seconds until the LED turns Amber and blinks — you are now in Programming mode. For exclusion, use buttons 2 and 4 instead.
• Only one device may be included at a time. A solid Red LED during inclusion/exclusion indicates a communication error.
• 4-Zone controllers must be updated (via Update Controller) after all other network devices have been included.

Zone Programming & Association

• After inclusion, you must associate Vizia RF light switches to buttons on the controller (via your Primary Programmer/Remote). By default, the local switch is associated to Button 1.
• One Z-Wave light switch can be associated to up to 5 controllers.
• To set a zone: Press and hold the desired zone button until the LED blinks Green, adjust any associated loads to the desired level, then press the button again — the LED stops blinking and the zone is set.

Operation

• Turn zone ON: Press — Zone LED turns ON (blinks until zone target is reached).
• Turn zone OFF: Press — all lights in zone turn OFF, LED turns OFF.
• Dim/Bright: Left side of button dims, right side brightens the last activated zone (only works within direct RF range).

Factory Reset

Press and hold buttons 1 and 3 for ~10 seconds until the LED turns Amber then solid Red, blinking red twice — release to complete the reset. Caution: factory reset does NOT exclude the device from the network — the exclusion procedure must still be performed at the controller, or the network may become slow to respond.
