The ZAC36 Titan Valve Actuator is fully integrated with the Z-Box Hub and will be easily recognized by the hub out of the box. Simply follow the steps below to add the switch to your system. The Titan will fit on valves up to 1.25". Is your pipe larger? Reach out to us about an extension kit for the ZAC36 to accommodate larger pipes/valves.
If you're running Z-Box firmware release 5.172.18 or higher, you have the option to include your Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) supporting devices via the new Long Range protocol. Adding via ZWLR can be done both via the Web UI and the app; however, scanning is much easier via the app so that is the process we recommend for ZWLR or SmartStart inclusion.

ZAC36 Inclusion Troubleshooting Steps
If your relay is not found on the Z-Box Hub, you may need to reset it first. We recommend performing the reset using your hub and the exclusion option (it works even if the device has never been added to your hub before):
- Open your Z-Box web interface in the Internet browser and select Settings (the gear icon) from the sidebar navigation menu. A list of your existing devices will appear.
- Click the red - Remove device button in the top right corner.
- Select Z-Wave Device in the next screen.
- Make sure you can physically access your ZEN55 and click Start on the screen.
- Tap the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly - make sure you hear a beep each time you tap the button (if you don't hear it, please try again). It's a touch button so just place your finger on it and wait for the beep, there will be no tactile feedback like on a push button.. The LED indicator will start blinking rapidly and the Z-Box Hub will display a "Device removed" message.
If the LED indicator on the relay isn't blinking, make sure that the device turns on the light from a single click on the Z-Wave button or a toggle from the connected switch. If it works well physically, try a factory reset and then follow the inclusion steps above.
