Important safety information

Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law.
The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material.
Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions.

Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.

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 TZ65-S single wall dimmer is switching attached loads and is controlled either by the local switching paddle or remotely via the Z-Wave wireless protocol. It is included and controlled in a Z-Wave network by a remote control, a wireless control centre or any other kind of Z-Wave controller including a PC-software. Beside the local switch the unit can control other Z-Wave units remotely in up to three additional Z-Wave groups, which are associated with this device. Tipping one time or two times the switching paddle performs the control. The association of further Z-Wave devices needs to be done by a Z-Wave controller. The unit is powered by 230V power and needs a pattress box with 230 V power wires for installation.

The unit is shipped completely with electronics, switching paddle and mounting frame in arctic white HomePro style, which can be replaced by another mounting frame of the HomePro switching series. The unit is designed for use within a 3-wire system, which means that a neutral wire (blue) is needed for operations.

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

The TZ65-S wall mounted switch needs a pattress box with 230 V power wires for installation. It does not fit into German wall boxes with 60 mm diameter.

1. To install the wall switch first remove the paddle using a small screw driver.
2. Afterwards remove the four screws through the retaining ring holding the trim ring to the mounting plate. This will allow the removal of the trim ring. When removing the trim ring make sure not to bend or disrupt the shape of the antenna wire.
3. Wire the product according to the schematics. The two wired from the mains distribution panel are directly connected to the inserts contacts N and L. The contact L” is the switched load output and needs to be connected to the cable of the load.
4. Install the product in the wall box.
5. Reinstall the trim ring and the retaining ring with the four screws. Mind the arrow on the inserts top side showing the mounting direction of the insert.
6. Return the switching paddle by pushing it into the mounting frame. Make sure the LED window is also towards the stamped word “??Bottom”?” on the retaining ring.

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

The device is excluded and included by a single click on the switch when the controller is in exclusion resp. inclusion mode.

Exclusion

The device is excluded and included by a single click on the switch when the controller is in exclusion resp. inclusion mode.

Product Usage

The actuator is operated by the local switching paddle or wirelessly using Z-Wave commands. If the insert is mounted correctly pushing the upper part of the paddle will turn ON the load. Pushing the lower part of the paddle will turn OFF the electric load. Pressing and holding the switch will allow dimming and brightening of Z-Wave dimmers if associated.

The device is also able to report status changes to a controller (communication pattern 2) and to remotely operate other devices by sending wireless Z-Wave commands.

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: Start Level Bit

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.
