Thank you for your purchase of a GE SmartHome™ Z-Wave

®

 control device.  Z-Wave technology is designed to 

automate lighting/home control and provide easy remote operation of all your Z-wave enabled devices. The GE Z-Wave 
product family includes a variety of devices to enable and control lighting in your home.  It is up to you whether you want 
to control one room or your entire house and whether you want to do it all now or start with one room and add more over 
time. 
 
This dimmer is one component of a Z-Wave® control system and is designed to work with all other Z-Wave enabled 
devices in a home control network.  It will also act as a wireless repeater to insure that commands intended for another 
device in the network are received, thereby extending the range of the wireless controller.  Z-Wave devices of other 
types and brands can be added to the system and will also act as range extenders if they support this function of 
repeating the signal received to other nodes in the system. 
 
CAUTION! This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in 
the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada.  It is recommended that a qualified 
electrician perform this installation. 
 
This dimmer switch is designed for use only with permanently installed incandescent lighting fixtures.  Do not use it to 
control fluorescent lighting, transformer supplied lighting/appliances, motorized appliances or receptacles.  The 
incandescent lighting controlled by this dimmer switch must not exceed a total of 500 watts. 
 
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit.   

The term “3-way circuit” can be confusing.  Technically, it can be used to describe a circuit with two switches and one 
load (light) like you find at the top and bottom of a stairway or a circuit with one switch and two loads like you may have 
in your garage.  In the US, it is normally used for the two switches & one load type of circuit. There are many ways to 
physically wire a 3-way circuit and it is important to understand how the circuit you wish to upgrade to Z-Wave control is 
wired.  Information and wiring diagrams regarding the various wiring possibilities are readily available on the Internet; 
just search for “3-way electrical wiring”. 

One of the ways to wire a two-switch/one-load circuit is to route the incoming power through the first switch, then to the 
second switch and then to the load.  Although very common and by no means a standard, it is the easiest to convert to 
Z-Wave control.  With this type of circuit, the first 3-way switch is replaced with the 45610 Auxiliary switch and the 
second 3-way switch is replaced with the 45607 Z-Wave dimmer.  The auxiliary switch does not actually control the 
power; instead, it sends a momentary voltage signal through the traveler wire to the 45607 which in turn, controls the 
On/Off status of the power.  If these two switches are reversed with the 45607 in the first position, the auxiliary switch 
will not be able to send the voltage signal back to the 45607 if the 44607 is in the Off position. 

 

This dimmer switch is designed for use with permanently installed incandescent lighting only and may be used in new 
installations or to replace an existing wall switch.  It can be used by itself or in three-way installations where a light is 
controlled from 2 locations such as the top and bottom of a staircase.  It is also compatible with four-way installations 
(three switches & one light).
