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

This is a Plug-in switch, which can be placed between a wall outlet for type F” plug and electric devices with a resistive load up to 3000W, plugged in by cord. In addition, this intelligent plug-in switch is able to detect the voltage, the power factor, the current amd measure the electric power taken by this load (in Wh) as well as meter the electrical energy consumed (in kWh). It will also detect a possible overload (3010 ~ 3300W) of the connected electrical device. When detecting an overload, the module is deactivated and the LED will flash for 30 seconds. In case the devices is used for metering only a special configuration option prevents the device from turning off the load.

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

In the front casing there is an On/Off button with LED indicator, which is used to toggle switch on and off or carry out inclusion, exclusion, reset or association. When first powered, the LED flashes on and off alternately at a 2-seconds interval. It implies that it is not included in a Z-Wave network and has not been assigned a node ID.

Auto Inclusion

The auto inclusion starts when the switch is not included into a Z-Wave network and plugged into a wall outlet. Auto inclusion timeout is 4 minutes during the node information frame will be emitted once every 5 seconds. Unlike the normal inclusion it is not necessary pressing the On/Off button on the switch. If auto inclusion exceeds the timeout you have to include the device manually.

Note: Do not locate the switch facing direct sunlight, humid or dusty places. The suitable ambient temperature for the switch is 0″°C – 40″°C. Do not locate the switch near to combustible substances or any source of heat. After putting it into use, the casing of the switch will become a little bit warm.

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

Tripple Click the button on the device confirms inclusion and exclusion. After plugging in it will stay in auto inclusion mode for 4 minutes.

Exclusion

Tripple Click the button on the device confirms inclusion and exclusion. After plugging in it will stay in auto inclusion mode for 4 minutes.

Product Usage

Manual Operation

• Plug the device into a wall outlet near the load to be controlled.
• Plug the load into the switch. Make sure the load to be controlled cannot exceed 3000 watts.
• Press the button or switch the load to the ON position.
• To manually turn ON the switch, press and release the On/Off button. The LED will turn on, and the load plugged into the switch will also turn on.
• To manually turn OFF the switch, simply press and release the On/Off button again. The LED will turn off and the load plugged into the switch will also turn off.

Remote Operation

Remote On/Off control of the switch is possible with any manufacturer”s Z-Wave controller. Further you can set associations to let your device controlled by other Z-Wave devices like sensors.

The switch is able to detect the current wattage (5 – 3150W) and overload wattage (3010 – 3300W) of connected ligths or appliances. When detecting overload state, the switch will be disabled and its On/off button will be locked and the LED will flash quickly. However unplug and reconnect the switch to reset its overload condition to normal status.

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:

Tripple click the button on the device sends out a Node Information Frame.

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

1| 1| When the power consumption of load vary over 5%, the device will send a Meter Report. When on or off state has been changed, it will send Binary Switch Report.

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.
