Operation
Basic Operation
The specific functions of the multiway remote device depend on the master device at the other
end. If the master is an HZ-DIMEX, then the button function is the same as an HZ-DIMEX with a
rocker. If a switch is installed, the multiway remote device function is the same as a switch with a
rocker button.
The HZ-AUX is shipped with a rocker button preinstalled. In this configuration, the unit will
function as shown below.
Tap to turn on the
load. Press and hold
to raise the light
level.
Tap to turn off the
load. Press and hold
to lower the light
level.

NOTE: HZ-AUX does not provide an LED backlight or feedback.
Button Functions
The HZ-AUX recalls the functions defined on the connected load controller. The HZ-AUX does
not directly control a load. The figures below illustrate the functions available for the rocker
button configuration and tap/hold actuation sequences when the HZ-AUX is connected to a load
controller.

NOTE: The default “On” powers the load to 100% in 1 second for the HZ-DIMEX and HZ-DIMUEX.
The default “Fast On” powers the load to 100% in 1/4 second. Load behavior for “On” and
“Fast On” operations can be modified when programming the HZ-DIMEX or HZ-DIMUEX.
Troubleshooting
For general troubleshooting information, refer to the table below:
Trouble Probable Cause(s) Corrective Action
Master device does not
function when buttons
pressed on master or
local button on HZ-AUX.
Problem with device installation. Refer to Troubleshooting section in
device installation guide
Existing 3- or 4-way switch still
connected.
Replace 3- or 4-way switches with
an HZ-KPEX or an HZ-AUX.
Replace the 3-way switch
connected to the load with an
HZ-DIMEX, HZ-DIMUEX, or
HZ-SWEX.
Master device works
but local button on the
HZ-AUX does not work.
Wiring issue. Check connections on all slave units
and on master dimmer.
Existing 3- or 4-way switch still
connected.
Replace 3- or 4-way switches with
an HZ-KPEX or an HZ-AUX.
Replace the 3-way switch
connected to the load with an
HZ-DIMEX, HZ-DIMUEX, or
HZ-SWEX.

Regulatory Model: M201849006
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver; Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected; Consult the
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or
more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation
at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
CAUTION: Changes or modications not expressly approved by the manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Statement
CAN-ICES-3(B)/nmb-3 (B)
This device complies with Industry Canada license exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation
est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit
accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary
for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un
type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques
de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne
dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante
