Caution: Any changes or modifications of this product not expressly approved by CasaWorks may void your authority to use the product. Introduction The CasaWorks Cielo Lighting Control Package, along with a personal computer and standard lamps, makes it possible to retrofit a home for intelligent lighting control without having to run wires. The included software takes you step by step through the process of installing the Z-PC USB to Z-Wave Bridge and adding Z-Wave lamp modules. Even the first time user can have the first lamp module responding to computer commands in no time. In planning your lighting control system, be aware that Z-Wave devices have a distance limitation of 50 – 100 feet, depending on walls and other structures that may interfere with communications. But, since all Z-Wave devices on the system act as signal repeaters, the total distance from the Z-PC USB to Z-Wave Bridge to any Z-Wave controlled light is virtually unlimited, as long as the distance from one Z-Wave device to the next along the way is within this distance. Getting Started 1. DO NOT plug in the Z-PC USB to Z-Wave Light Bridge until the drivers have been installed. 2. Insert the Cielo Lighting Control Package CD into the computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the program does not auto-start: a. Click “Start” b. Click “Run”. c. Click “Browse” d. Click on the drive letter of your CD-ROM e. Double click setup.exe 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers and program. 4. When prompted, plug the included Z-PC USB to Z-Wave Light Bridge into any available USB port on your computer. 5. Allow Windows to detect and install the new hardware. 6. Once the installation is complete, click the “Finished” button. 7. Double click the Cielo Lighting Control Package icon to start the program. Navigation buttons On the left side of the screen are buttons that will bring you quickly to the various parts of the program. The following sections will show you how to use each one. Lights This section is used to manually control lights, install new lights and give them names, and remove lights from the system. Adding a lamp module Before the program can control a light, it must be installed on the system. This procedure will guide you through the steps required. 1. Take any Z-Wave lamp module from the package and plug it into an electrical outlet close to the computer (within 5 feet). Plug a lamp into the lamp module and turn it on. The lamp may not actually light up until the Z-Wave lamp module is activated, either remotely by the program or by pressing the button located on the lamp module. 2. On the computer screen, click the “Lights” button. This screen allows you to control lights that have already been installed and will be explained in the next section. 3. At the bottom of the screen, click the “Add a New Light” button. 4. At the next s…

Provide updated test data where necessary. ****** You are very correct on that fact. However, we always take measurements with and without any support utilized during testing for the fact that wee have observed RF absorption as well in colored plastics and foam due to the metal in the coloring. During the preliminary support testing, it is verified that there is no effect on the intentional emissions testing due to the support. We did not use a foam support though we did make sure that the wooden block would not effecting the testing. ********** All Best, Randal Clark CKC Certification Services.

Testing was performed in 3 different orthogonal axis to determine the worst case emissions from the device. The worst case emissions measurements are shown in this report. FCC CFR47 Part 15.31: Measurement Standards: In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was varied per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. FCC CFR47 Part 15.35: Measurement Detector Functions and Bandwidths: FCC Part 15.35 was utilized when performing the measurements within this report. In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was varied per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. The actual test distance for the FCC Part 15.209 testing was conducted at 10m for the fact that the device was being tested to EN55022 Class B from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz (meets/exceeds the FCC Part 15.209 & 109B limits) The data is automatically extrapolated back to the FCC 3m limits and measurements are corrected to better show the compliance to FCC requirements and reduce confusion. A correction factor of 10.54dB is used in cases of 30MHz and up for a difference between 10m and 3m measurement distances. All measurements that are lesser than 30MHz where applicable are accompanied with the fall of measurements and calculations to support the interpolation. The Duty Cycle Correction Calculations are detailed in the operational description for this device. Modifications required to pass: NONE…
