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 concentration of CO2 in the air is measured in parts per million (ppm). The CO2 concentration outdoors is approx. 350 ppm on average. A level of above approx. 800 ppm negatively impacts on our well-being. The concentration of CO2 in a room depends on the number of people in the room, the length of time that they spend in that room and the air exchange rate. For example, a 60 m2 room that contains two people and has an air exchange rate of 1 will reach a CO2 concentration of 900 ppm. Without ventilation, the concentration of CO2 in the room would increase to 1,500 ppm after two hours and 2,500 ppm after five hours. In order to measure air quality, SENSOAIR type wave uses two sensors to detect the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in closed rooms. The quality of the air that has been measured is indicated using a LED light and is transmitted via Z-Wave.

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.

Push and hold the Z-Wave Button on the bottom side for 5 seconds to reset the device to factory settings.

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

• * Open the casing by removing the front part.

  • Unblock the shaped disruption points for the screws and cable set.
  • Pull the cable set through the cut-out and use the back part of the casing as a pattern for the screws.

• Connect the cable set as shown in the figure. You can power the device with 230V AC or 24V DC.

• Close the casing before the first power up.

Note:

• Use only indoors in dry and dust free rooms.
• Use only in an environmental temperatur from 5C – 40C.
• The device is NOT to be used with gas warning system or similar systems.
• Do not use solvents close to the device.
• Silicon vapours can cause malfunction.
• Use only with original accessories from SIEGENIA-AUBI.
• The installation should only be done by experienced professionals according to the mounting instructions.
• Use only in perfect technical condition. Do not make any modifications to the appliance.
• Make sure that the ventilation openings remain unobstructed and not be covered by furniture and other objects.
• Repairs should only be done by experienced professionals.

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

Single Click the Z-Wave Button on the bottom side confirms inclusion and exclusion.

Exclusion

Single Click the Z-Wave Button on the bottom side confirms inclusion and exclusion.

Product Usage

Before putting the system into service an automatic calibration has to be done.

Preconditions: The room has to be well ventilated. The room temperatur should be between 5C and 40C. There must be no persons or animals in the area of operation.

Calibration:

• Switching on power – calibration starts.
• Sensors are heated up and calibrated to 350 ppm – LED one time flashes green.
• After the calibration is done (approx. 30 minutes), the LED flashes continuously green. The device is ready to use now.

The SENSOAIR measures the carbon dioxide concentration (CO2) of the ambient air. The measured air qualitiy is shown with the LED lights.

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:

Single Click the Z-Wave Button on the bottom side

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.

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.

Parameter 1: Configuration

Contains bits for device settings.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 8d
