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

The MCOHome PM2.5 Monitor is an air quality controller which is compatible with Z-Wave technology, it is mainly used to monitor PM2.5 concentration in industrial, agricultural, and residence environment, while monitoring the indoor temperature and humidity. Device can be included into any Z-Wave network, and is compatible with any other Z-Wave certified 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 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

Location:

Device is suggested to be installed indoor, a place with around 1.5m height above the floor where represents the average PM2.5 concentration. It should be away from direct sunlight, any cover, or any heat source, to avoid false signal for detection.

CAUTION: Cut off power supply at circuit breaker or fuse before installation to avoid fire, shock or death!

1. Device must be wall-mounted vertically. Do not lay it flat or upside down while working.

2. Do not mounted it in a wind gap, or cover its bottom, which may affect the detected data.

1. Step 1: Follow the wiring diagram to insert all wires into right terminals and tighten screws.

Pay attention to the current direction of positive and negative, otherwise device will easily be burn!

Step 2: Separate panel and bottom case by removing the screw at the bottom of device, and mount the bottom case onto wall with two screws (M4*25mm). The hole pitch 60mm is for 86/60mm box, and 82mm is for American 120mm box.

Step 3: Mount the panel back by aligning its tabs and card slot onto the bottom case.

Step 4: Tighten the fastening screw and the device is ready for normal work.

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

Including and Excluding of Z-Wave network

Activate Inclusion/Exclusion mode in the gateway. When device powered on, long press S1 and S3 synchronically to enter interface for inclusion or exclusion of Z-Wave network. If device has not been included into any Z-Wave network before, (- – -) will display on the screen. Then press S1 once, (- – -) flashing and device enters into learning mode to get a node ID. If inclusion is success, a node ID will display on the screen. If not, (- – -) will stop flashing in 20 sec. If a node ID displays, it means the device is already in a Z-Wave network. To press S1 once can remove it from the network. (- – -) displays and press S2 once can return to normal work. Note: If display flashing, long press S1+S3 can quite the operation and back to normal work. If display stops flashing, press S2 once can return to normal work.

Exclusion

Including and Excluding of Z-Wave network

Activate Inclusion/Exclusion mode in the gateway. When device powered on, long press S1 and S3 synchronically to enter interface for inclusion or exclusion of Z-Wave network. If device has not been included into any Z-Wave network before, (- – -) will display on the screen. Then press S1 once, (- – -) flashing and device enters into learning mode to get a node ID. If inclusion is success, a node ID will display on the screen. If not, (- – -) will stop flashing in 20 sec. If a node ID displays, it means the device is already in a Z-Wave network. To press S1 once can remove it from the network. (- – -) displays and press S2 once can return to normal work. Note: If display flashing, long press S1+S3 can quite the operation and back to normal work. If display stops flashing, press S2 once can return to normal work.

Product Usage

Button and Display

Local Time Setting

In normal display interface, long press S3 will enter the local time modification interface. Press S2 can switch among “Week, Hour and Minute “, press S1 or S3 can change their values. After all parameters set, press S2 can save settings and return to normal display.

Backlight

The backlight will be full bright when any keys pressed, and turn to half bright if no operation in 10 Sec.

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.

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

• Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network.
  Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.

• Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network.
  Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.

• Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
  a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.

• Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.

• Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.

• Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
  a controlled device.

• Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
  device to announces that is able to communicate.

• Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
  Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
