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

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a tasteless, invisible but very poisonous gas created among others by incomplete burning of burnable material or gas. This device is measuring the CO concentration in the air and issues an alarm when a certain level of CO is exceeded. The device will send an alarm when one of the following conditions are met:

• 50 ppm for 60 minutes
• 100 ppm for 10 minute
• 300 ppm for 3 minutés

Additionally a remote device can be switched. This can be an actuator e.g. opening a door or another alarm device such a siren. The device consists of a mounting base that is screwed to the wall and the actual device is mounted to this base. It is recommended to place the CO sensor on the sealing because CO is lighter than air and will always move upwards. The device is battery- operated and therefore in sleeping mode unless an action is detected. After a programmable sleeping time the device wakes up and sends a status information. After this the unit goes back to sleeping modus. Batteries can be changed without unscrewing the mounting base. The unit has tree colored LED to give visual warning when the battery is low or a CO alarm occurred.

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 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

1. Remove the bracket from the detector by rotating it counter-clockwise.
2. Place the bracket where you are going to install the detector. In each of keyhole slots, draw a mark to locate plastic anchor and screw. Using a 3/16-inch (5mm) drill bit, drills two holes at the marks and insert plastic anchor, and attached the bracket by using the screws.
3. Open the battery cover to insert the batteries, and then replace the cover. Fix the detector with bracket by rotating it clockwise.

Please follow the recommendations about amount and position of the sensor in your home as given above. Avoid to place the sensor into the angle of walls, prefer positions in the middle of the room.

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

Inclusion and Exclusion is confirmed by hitting the program button.

Exclusion

Inclusion and Exclusion is confirmed by hitting the program button.

Product Usage

• Power-on Mode : 1) Install the battery into the module 2) The detector will emit a beep in 0.5 seconds and the three LEDs will flash once quickly. 3) Close the bracket. The CO detector will alarm once remove the bracket.
• Stand-by Mode : The Green LED flashes one time every 60 seconds.
• Alarm Mode (It is the status when the alarm is triggered.): If a certain density of CO is detected, an audible alarm with 4 beeps, pause 5 seconds and 4 beeps will occure. The red LED will flash continuously and rapidly. Meanwhile, the CO detector will send an alarm report (type: CO alarm, state: alarm) to the user?s controller and also the CO dectecor will send an alarm report (type: CO alarm, state: No alarm) while the alarm goes off.
• Error Mode : If the CO detector beeps once and yellow LED flashes three times every minute, it indicates the CO detector is not working properly. Please require to repair or service.
• Low battery warning Mode : The yellow LED will flash once every minute with a “beep” sound.
• Low sensitivity Mode : The yellow LED will flash twice every minute with a “beep” sound. It indicates the CO detector has internal problem, please replace the unit.
• Tamper Mode : The yellow LED will go solid and the detector will emit a short beep every minute until the CO detector is mounted back to the bracket properly.
• End of life signal Mode : The yellow LED will flash four times every minute with a short “beep” sound. It indicates the CO detector is reaching to the end of useful life, please replace with a new unit.
• Testing Mode : Test the alarm by pushing test switch until the user hears 4 short beeps and three LEDs flash synchronously in five seconds. Then, the CO detector will send an alarm report (type: CO alarm, state: alarm) to the user?s controller and also the CO dectecor will send an alarm report (type: CO alarm, state: No alarm) while the alarm goes off. Please note if the CO detector only beeps once and yellow LED flashes three times every minute, it indicates the CO detector is not working properly. Please require to repair or service.
• Battery Power indicator : The detector will report the current status of battery capacity to the user?s controller.
• Self-Protection Mode : If the cover of detector removed from bracket, after 8 sec the detector will send an alarm report (type:002, level:0FF) to the Z-Wave Interface Controller and the yellow LED will flash continuously and the detector will sound.
• Silence Mode : The user could press the test switch to get into silence mode to turn off the alarm temporarily when the CO detector alarms. Meanwhile, the red LED will flash continually. The silence function will automatically turn into normal operation if the CO concentration around the CO detector is still at alarming level after 4 minutes of silence mode.

WARNING: The carbon monoxide sensing unit has only 5-year limited life. For the security issue, we strongly recommend the user to change whole the CO detector after 4-year usage.

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:

Hitting the program button will send out an Node Information Frame

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:

Hitting the program button will wake up the device.

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.
