Zipato Smart Energy Plug In Switch (PAN15) — Installation Guide

Quick installation guide for the Zipato Smart Energy Plug In Switch (regulatory model PH-PAN15), a Z-Wave Plus plug-in on/off switch with energy metering and overload protection.

Overview

This is a security-enabled Z-Wave Plus plug-in switch. Devices displaying the Z-Wave Plus logo can be used with it regardless of manufacturer, and it can join other manufacturers' Z-Wave networks. It supports Security Command Class and functions identically whether included as a secure or non-secure device. The switch detects instantaneous wattage and overload current on connected loads — when overload is detected, the switch disables and locks out the On/Off button (LED flashes quickly) until it's unplugged and reconnected.

Key Features

• Overload protection
• Higher output power (+5dBm vs. -2.5dBm on 300-series) for extended communication range
• Auto-reports switch state on manual On/Off button press
• Auto-reports wattage when consumption varies by more than 5%
• Reports voltage, current, power factor, instant wattage, and accumulated KWh consumption
• Zero-crossing switch, Z-Wave 500-series chip

Specifications

Installation & Operation

1. Plug the switch into a wall outlet near the load to be controlled.
2. Plug the load into the switch — the load must not exceed 13A (resistive load).
3. Press the button or switch the load to the ON position.
4. Manually turn the switch ON/OFF by pressing and releasing the On/Off button — LED illuminates when ON, off when OFF.

LED Indication

Adding/Removing from Z-Wave Network

Auto Inclusion: When power is first applied, the switch's LED flashes on/off every 0.5s, indicating it has no node ID and has begun auto inclusion (a 2-minute timeout window). Auto inclusion doesn't require pressing the On/Off button.

Association

The switch supports one association group (Grouping 1, max 1 node), reporting SWITCH_BINARY_REPORT, METER_REPORT, and ALARM_REPORT to the associated Z-Wave controller.

Z-Wave Configuration Parameters (selected)

• Parameter 1 — Watt Meter Report Period: 2 bytes, 0x01-0x7FFF, default 720 (5s intervals; 720 = 1 hour, max ~45 hours).
• Parameter 2 — KWH Meter Report Period: 2 bytes, 0x01-0x7FFF, default 6 (10-min intervals; 6 = 1 hour, max ~227.55 days).
• Parameter 3 — Threshold of Current for Load Caution: 2 bytes, 10-1300 (x0.01A), default 1300 (13A).
• Parameter 4 — Threshold of KWh for Load Caution: 2 bytes, 1-10000 (1 KWh units), default 10000 KWh.
• Parameter 5 — Restore Switch State Mode: 1 byte, 0-2 (0=Switch Off, 1=Last Switch State [default], 2=Switch On) — behavior when AC power returns after an outage.
• Parameter 6 — Manual On/Off Mode: 1 byte, 0-1, default 1 (enabled). When set to 0, manual On/Off button control is disabled.
• Parameter 7 — LED Indication Mode: 1 byte, 1-2, default 1 (Show Switch State). Setting 2 = Show Night Mode (inverted LED behavior).
• Parameter 8 — Auto Off Timer: 2 bytes, 0-0x7FFF (seconds), default 0 (disabled). Automatically switches off after the timer elapses once switched on.
• Parameter 9 — RF Off Command Mode: 1 byte, 0-3, default 0 (Switch Off). Determines how the switch responds to a switch-off command: 0=Switch Off, 1=Ignore, 2=Switch Toggle, 3=Switch On.
• Parameter 11 — Switch Status Report Mode: 1 byte, 0-1, default 1 (Enabled) — sends a Binary Switch report whenever status changes.

Protection Command Class

Supports Protection Command Class v2 to prevent unintentional control (e.g., by a child) and to lock out RF control entirely if desired. In "Protection by sequence" mode, the On/Off button must be held longer than 1 second to change state.
