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 SCS317 is a battery operated room thermostat capable controlling a central heating wirelessly via Z-Wave.

It has a built in clock and calendar. This allows the user to adjust different time and temperature settings from the factory default settings. Up to six different time and temperature settings are available in each 24 hour period.

This programmable room thermostat has a large display and intuitive user interface, making it easy to set up and use.

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.

For reseting the SCS317 do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”; use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”; use right arrow key and select “Network Reset”.

Note: Reset provides a full protocol reset and a restoration of all network parameters to their defaults, and generates a new random home ID to operate on. A network reset does not change the heating schedules stored on the device.

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

Open the battery coverage located at the front and put the 2 x AA batteries according to the figure into battery compartment. Close the battery compartment.

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

For including or excluding the SCS317 as a secondary controller for an existing the Z-Wave network do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”; use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”; use right arrow key and select “Learn”.

Note: Any associations will be cleared if the SCS317 have engaged in Learn mode with another controller regardless or a successful or failed outcome.

Exclusion

For including or excluding the SCS317 as a secondary controller for an existing the Z-Wave network do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”; use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”; use right arrow key and select “Learn”.

Note: Any associations will be cleared if the SCS317 have engaged in Learn mode with another controller regardless or a successful or failed outcome.

Product Usage

Normal Heating Period The SCS317 Room Thermostat can set up to 6 heating periods per day. The adjusted temperature is the maximum reachable room temperature. When this temperature is achieved the heating is switched off.

TEMPORARY OVERRIDE A temporary temperature change can be made at any time by simlpy pressing the “-” or “+” button. The temperature will revert to its normal programmed setting at the next timed temperature change.

TEMPORARY OVERRIDE WITH TIME EXTENSION It is also possible to extend how long this temperature override is in operation by pressing “Enter” after temperature change. The hours of the UNTIL (remaining) time will flash and can be adjusted by pressing “+”. Confirm the time by pressing “Enter”. The remaining time can be set up to 4 hours. The temperature will revert to its normal programmed setting at the next timed temperature change.

PERMANENT OVERRIDE The temperature can be overridden permanently. For this do the same steps as for temporary override and pressing the “+” repeatedly until HOLD appears in the display, press “Enter”. A message will appears briefly confirming “Temperature set until manual release”. In the “HOLD” position the temperature can be overridden by pressing either the “-” or “+” buttons. This will then become the new “HOLD” temperature. To cancel the permanent override press “Back” and “Enter”.

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:

To send out a Node Information Frame Press do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu

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:

To wake up the device do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”; use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”; use right arrow key and select “Learn”.

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|

This node receives unsolicited” message from the following events” Thermostat set point,” Thermostat operating state,” Schedule,” ” Multilevel sensor, Battery, Binary switch

---|---|---

Central heating node controlled” by the SCS311 or SCS317 will determine”  how best to communicate with the device. If thermostat mode Heat Mode is supported” the control message will be sent as” Thermostat Set HEAT and Thermostat” mode set Off,”  therwise the device will be” controlled by Basic set On and Off” commands.

Special Operations as Z-Wave Controller

As long as this device is not included into a Z-Wave network of a different controller
it is able to manage its own Z-Wave network as primary controller. As a primary controller
the device can include and exclude other devices in its own network, manage associations,
and reorganize the network in case of problems. The following controller functions
are supported:

Inclusion of other devices

Communication between two Z-Wave devices only works if both belong to the same
wireless network. Joining a network is called inclusion and is initiated by a controller.
The controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Once in this inclusion mode
the other device needs to confirm the inclusion – typically by pressing a button.

If current primary controller in your network is in special SIS mode this and
any other secondary controller can also include and exclude devices.

To become
primary a contoller have to be resetted and then include a device.

For Inclusion of Z-Wave devices into the thermostats network do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”; use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”; use right arrow key and select “Include node/ receiver”. Press the dedicated button on the target device to include it. You can include nodes or a secondary controller.

Note: When including a device that supports Thermostat Mode HEAT, the SCS317 will automatically associate it to Group 2 (switch association group).

Exclusion of other devices

The primary controller can exclude devices from the Z-Wave network. During exclusion
the relationship between the device and the network of this controller is terminated.
No communication between the device and other devices still in the network can happen
after a successful exclusion. The controller needs to be turned into the exclusion mode.
Once in this exclusion mode the other device needs to confirm the exclusion – typically
by pressing a button.

Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back
into factory default status. This process can also exclude devices from it’s previous
network.

For Exclusion of Z-Wave devices from the thermostats network do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”; use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”; use right arrow key and select “Exclude node/ receiver”. Press the dedicated button on the target device to exclude it.

Note: If an associated node to SCS317 is excluded from the network, it will be removed from the Association Group it is stored in.

Shift of Primary Controller Role

The device can hand over its primary role to another controller and become
secondary controller.

• Place the two controllers close to each other.
• Bring your primary controller in the dedicated mode for primary shift (or learning mode).
• 2 x Enter to start menu.
• Use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”.
• Use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”.
• Use right arrow key and select “Controller Shift”.

Management of Association in the controller

To manually associate devices to control do the following steps: 2 x Enter to start menu; use right arrow key and open menu “Setup”; use right arrow key and open menu “Set up Z-Wave”; use right arrow key and select “Associate node”. Press the dedicated button on the target device for association.

To clear the associations select “Disassociate node”. Press the dedicated button on the target device for association.

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.
