ASPIRE RF ™ Accessory Switch
Wireless Accessory Switch
Applications
ASPIRE RF™ Accessory Switch (RF9517) replaces regular switches or dimmers to provide
local and remote ON/OFF control. The device also provides 3-way, multi-location or virtual
3-way remote ON/OFF control of a selected RF switch without the need for traditional
3-way wiring. Moreover, ASPIRE RF Accessory switches provide other programmable
functions (scenes, events, association, child lockout, etc…) when used with ASPIRE RF
or other Z-Wave® compliant controllers*. Each switch can be manually controlled and
remotely controlled by commands sent from an ASPIRE RF controller or other Z-Wave
compatible controllers or programs. ASPIRE RF switches utilize existing 120 V/AC 60Hz
standard house wiring and fit in standard wallboxes. No new wiring is required.
*(Note: some specific ASPIRE RF features may not be programmable)
