What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two- way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes
( meshed network ) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the
transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

Product Description

Recessed Door Sensor is a new small and compact Z-Wave sensor with the size of 2.5*7 cm (main body), that tells you and your Z-Wave network if a door is open or closed. It is nearly invisible, as the sensor is installed with the help of a slight drill hole hidden away on the top of your door. Installing Recessed Door Sensor is easy, as you only have to add it to your home”s network activating its battery and associating it with your Z-Wave system. When included securely the device is able to accept secure commands and to send secure commands to other devices.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Safety Warning for Batteries

The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used.
Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.

Installation

The sensor is invisibly installed, so it sits within a door and its frame to provide all the information needed by a Z-Wave system for security, safety and ambiance.

“

The Recessed Door Sensor is comprised of two parts: the larger Main Sensor and the smaller Magnetic Sensor. Both of them are to be installed for proper use.

Prepare the Main Sensor

The first Step in installing your Recessed Door Sensor is to activate the Main Sensor.

“

1. Using a slot-head scrwedriver, remove the Main Sensor”s lid by pressing gently against its exposed connector.

2. Seperate the Main Sensors”s two sections by first removing its lid and then removing its internal components.

3. Remove the clear battery insulator by pulling it away from the Main Sensor.

4. With the battery insulator removed, reinsert the internal components into the enclosure before reattaching its lid. Ensure that the Main Sensor”s button aligns with the button hole of its lid.

Install the Main Sensor and Magnetic Sensor

Before beginning it is important to select a suitable position for your Recessed Door Sensor. Comply with the the following hints:

• Install at the top or the side of a door.
• Position away from metal that could interfere with the sensor”s magnetic funtionality. This includes your door blade, handle or lock mechanism.
• Install in a suitable location to ensure a clear (at least 1mm) seperation when the door is closed.
• Position exactly counterpart to the Magnetic Sensor.

“

Step 1:

Prepare a space for the Main Sensor by drilling a hole into your doorframe using a 19mm wide drill bit. The hole should be 65mm deep.

Step 2:

Drill a corresponding hole in your door. The hole should be 15mm deep and 19mm wide. The position of the hole should allign exactly counterpart to hole in the door frame.

Step 3:

Insert the Main Sensor into the hole you created in the doorframe and fix it with two screws.

Step 4:

Place a small amount of white glue (PVA) inside the hole you created and place the Magnetic Sensor inside. Insert it by tapping gently on it with a rubber hammer.

The gap between the two parts of your sensor must be at least 1 mm. Re-Affix the Sensors, if it doesn”t fit.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

Make sure that your Z-Wave Controller is in the Inclusion-/Exclusion-Mode. Single click the Z-Wave button on the device with a small pin to include or exclude the device.

A successful Inclusion/Exclusion lights up the sensor LED for a few seconds.

Exclusion

Make sure that your Z-Wave Controller is in the Inclusion-/Exclusion-Mode. Single click the Z-Wave button on the device with a small pin to include or exclude the device.

A successful Inclusion/Exclusion lights up the sensor LED for a few seconds.

Product Usage

The Door Sensor reports the status of your door (open / closed) to a Z-Wave gateway or controller. The sensor will send radio signals up to 5 associated Z-Wave devices within 2 two association groups in its own Z-Wave network.

Node Information Frame

The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains
information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and
exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame.
Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node
Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action:

A single click on the Z-Wave button sends a Node Information Frame.

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time
to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network.
This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller,
communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly
decreased.

This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup
state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then
empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired
wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by
a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary
configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery
life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform
the following action:

A single click on the Z-Wave button will wakes up the device and keep it awake.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Association Groups:

Group NumberMaximum NodesDescription

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values too.
