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

Qubino Flush RGBW module is used to control RGB/RGBW strips and LED strips or bulbs to create countless colour options and has 5 special scene effects. It can also control halogen lights and fans. Its extremely small size allows for easy installation behind wall sockets and switches. Controlled devices may be powered by 12 or 24 VDC. All IN and OUT terminals may be user configured for LED control or 100 kΩ signal readouts.

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.

Please note that re-including the proudct will reset the data to the default values. Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country- specific
installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of
the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Installation

-” Before the installation disconnect power supply (12-24VDC)

-” Connect the module according to electrical diagram.

-” Pull the antenna out of the holder

-” Locate the antenna far from metal elements (as far as possible).

-” Do not shorten the antenna.

Warning!

1. The RGBW Controller is suggested to operate in low voltage circuits of 12VDC or 24VDC. Connecting higher voltage load may result in the RGBW Controller damage. Please refer to the following table.

2. The RGBW Controller must be powered by the same voltage as the connected light source. I.e. if controlling 12V LED strip, the module must be connected to 12V power supply. Similarly, if controlling 24V RGBW strip, the RGBW Controller must be powered by 24V voltage supply.

3. The RGBW Controller has 100KΩ input. There is no 100KΩ output. Output is controlled by PWM at 488Hz.

4. The RGBW Controller must be powered by 12VDC or 24 VDC stabilized power supply with outputs load capacity matched to loads voltage.

5. In case of connecting long RGBW/RGB/LED strips voltage drops may occur, resulting in lower light brightness further from R/G/B/W outputs. To eliminate this effect it”s recommended to connect few shorter strips in parallel connection instead of one long strip connected serially. Maximum recommended wire length, used to connect R/G/B/W outputs with a RGBW/RGB/LED strip is 10 m. Observe connected loads manufacturer recommendations towards connection wire diameter.

6. For connection of IN1~IN4, it is suggested that you connect the 4 inputs individually to the same type of deivce. The devices can be as follows: the rotary swtich, the toggle switch, or the push switch.

7. When the Controller is damaged or lost, and you have already transferred the control function to an external control switch before, the product can be normally operated. In other case, please purchase a new Controller, press the Include/Exclude Button three times to exclude the device, and then include the device with the original installation steps, the device can be restored to normal operation. Please note that reincluding the product will reset the data to the default values. Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

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

Include the R.G.B.W. color LED Dimmer intor the Z-Wave network, press service button 3 times in 2 seconds. If the device is properly include the green light will remains on.

Exclusion

Exclude the Flush RGBW Dimmer into Z-Wave network, press 3 times in 2 seconds. If the device is proporly excluded, the green light will blink and data will be reset to the factory default values.

Auto-Inclusion

Beside the standard inclusion this devices supports the so called auto inclusion.
Right after powering up the device remains in inclusion state and can be included by
(any) gateway without further actions on the device itself. The auto inclusion mode will
time out after some time.

Product Usage

1. Connect the R.G.B.W. Color LED Dimmer according to wiring diagram.
– First, connect RGBW strip, outputs (R,G,B,W) RGB/RGBW/LED diodes, halogen lights, or inputs (IN1~IN4).

– Second, connect the power supply.

If the device is properly connected, the RGBW strip will blink once. Note that the device must be powered by a dedicated stabilized power adapter.

2. In the status of the factory default (Not Paired), the red light and green light will blink by turns, eg. red, green, red, green, etc..

3. Include the R.G.B.W. Color LED Dimmer into the Z-wave network, press service button 3 times in 2 seconds. If the device is properly included, the green light will remains on.

4. Exclude the Flush RGBW Dimmer into the ZWave network, press 3 times in 2 seconds. If the device is properly excluded, the green light will blink and the data will be reset to the factory default values.

5. Please pull out the antenna and keep it at 90 degree to enhance the RF signals.

6. Support auto inclusion: Install the device, connect with the power, and the auto inclusion function will work in about 2 minutes.

7. Support remote exclusion: Through configuration setting. Please refer to the following table.

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:

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.
