Adding the Range Extender to a Z-Wave Network

The Ring Range Extender can be added via Smart Start inclusion or Classic inclusion mode.

2. Scan the QR code found on the device package, or on the back of the range extender itself.
3. Plug the range extender into line power.
4. When inclusion is complete, the LED on the range extender will turn solid blue, then go out.

Classic Inclusion Steps

Lifeline Association

The Range Extender uses Group 1 as its "Lifeline" group, which can hold up to five devices. The Range Extender repeats all signals it receives to this group, and also sends the group Battery Reports, Power Management notifications, and a Device Reset Locally notification when it removes itself from the Z-Wave network.

Factory Reset

Use this procedure only if the network's primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable:

1. Press and hold the push button.
2. The blue LED will start blinking rapidly.
3. Wait for the blue LED to stop blinking, then release the push button.
