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.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer
to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

TriSensor can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non- battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. If PIR motion sensor is triggered, the TriSensor will send a Basic set to associated devices.The PIR motion sensor will then become inactive. If no PIR motion is triggered after the PIR interval time (configurable), the TriSensor will send Basic Set to the associated nodes.

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.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

1. Power up the device.
2. Press and hold the button for 15s until Red Led is blinking,then release the button

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

With your TriSensor now a part of your Z-Wave network and having determined its installation location, it”‘s time to finish its physical installation. There are 2 ways that your TriSensor can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. Most simply it can be placed upon a shelf without the need to attach further accessories. You can mount your sensor in a corner or against a wall or ceiling by using the Back-Mount Plate. It”‘s also possible to embed your TriSensor within a ceiling or wall using its Recessor accessory (sold separately).

To install your TriSensor:

Reattach the three parts of your TriSensor to each other. Unlock the Battery Cover from the Sensor unit.

You may also install your TriSensor on any flat surface area such as tables, and bookshelves;

You can place it upon a shelf without the need to attach further accessories.

To install your TriSensor with the Back-Mount Plate;

1. You can affix the Back-Mount Arm by Double-Sided Tape or using the provided KA2.5″ƒ-20 mm screws.

Tips: We suggest you choose the second method (using screws to affix the Back- Mount Arm) which would be more stable.

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

1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Press the button once.

Exclusion

1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Press the button once.

Product Usage

Choosing a Location for your TriSensor.

TriSensor can bring its intelligent readings to many locations of your home. Before deciding on a location, there are some things you should first consider.

TriSensors motion sensor uses light and heat readings to determine motion; sudden light and heating changes can impact the sensor”‘s quality of motion readings. As such, your sensor should not be installed in areas of artificial temperature change. Thus, when selecting a location, avoid placing it beside or near air conditioners, and heaters.

Your TriSensor will be powered by batteries, you should avoid installing it in a location where the temperature can drop below 0″°C / 32″°F – this is below the any battery operational use point. Selecting a location for your sensor also depends on the layout of any area that you want monitored. Whatever the room or area, please ensure that it fits with your sensor”‘s effective motion sensing range as described in the following diagrams.

For optimal performance, your TriSensor should NOT be mounted directly on or near metal framing or other large metallic objects. Large metal objects may weaken the Z-Wave wireless signal TriSensor depends on for communication due to the wireless reflective properties of metal.

TriSensor maximum motion detection range is: 23ft or 7m.

”

Outdoor installation.

Please note that when installed outdoors of your home, your TriSensor should only be relied on for temperature and light where as the motion sensing capabilities should be disabled on your gateway in order to avoid false motion readings. If selecting an outdoor location, it”‘s important to position your TriSensor”  in a sheltered location. It is best if your TriSensor is not directly exposed to rain, snow, or other elements.

If you wish to use TriSensor”  outdoors, you will need to lower settings, and angle TriSensor”  accordingly as all environments will require different solutions or different settings for the motion sensor to work properly. Parameter 3 [1 byte] will determine the sensitivity of the motion sensor from a value range of 0 disabled to 11 max sensitivity (your ability to configure this setting will depend on the gateway used).

It is advised that if you are seeing false motion tracking, run trial and error to determine the best sensitivity from a range of 0 – 11 by going down 1 sensitivity level after every test (first 5, 4, 3, 2, then 1), while setting Parameter 3 [2 byte] to 5 to allow a PIR sensor timeout of 5 seconds after detecting motion to rapidly determine the best settings for motion use outdoors.

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:

Press and hold the button at least 2s until Red Led is on and then release the button,device will send wakeup notification to controller if device is in a Z-Wave network.

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

through BASIC_SET command by the device when device detects a movement event. Basic Set Value is decided by Configuration Parameter 6.
3| 5| Controlling group, all nodes associated in this group will be controlled through BASIC_SET command by the device when device detects an ambient temperature alarm (Decided by Configuration Parameter 7).

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.
