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 product is a combination of a binary sensor with external switches, temperature sensor and a thermostat controlling a remote heating device by comparing the target temperature set with the measured temperature. The three functions can be used in parallel or independent of each other. The temperature sensor has a high accuracy +/- 0.2 K. The device is battery operated and can be placed on every flat surface either using screws or double sides tape.

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

The devices cover can be mounted on every flat surface either using two screws or strong double sides type. Insert both the batteries (2 x AAA) into the battery case while paying attention to the indicated plus (+) / minus (-) poles. The MBINAR can now be mounted. The device itself is then just pushed on the cover. Make sure the dry input terminals match with the little spacing on the edge of the cover part.

Attention: The electronic circuit of the MBINAR can be damaged in the case of wrong insertion of batteries.

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

Once the controller is turned into standard inclusion mode tripple click the tamper switch will include the device. In case the controller is in network wide inclusion mode a double click will confirm inclusion. In case of doubt about the type of inclusion please assume standard inclusion.

Exclusion

Once the controller is turned into standard inclusion mode tripple click the tamper switch will include the device. In case the controller is in network wide inclusion mode a double click will confirm inclusion. In case of doubt about the type of inclusion please assume standard inclusion.

Product Usage

The temperature sensor function (communication pattern 3) can be used without any further installation or configuration. The binary sensor function is available on the two terminal blocks inside the device. Please wire these terminals to the external switch that can be used. Beware: You must not power the two terminals. They are only connected with an external switch that is connecting the two wires or not. Switching the binary input can be used to control a wireless actor using Z-Wave commands (communication pattern 4).

The device can be used as a room thermostat. This function monitors the measured temperature against a desired temperature set point or a temperature range defined by a lower and an upper temperature trigger. The setpoint temperature can be set wirelessly using a Z-Wave command (Command Class Temperature Setpoint) MBINAR will send on and off commands to a wirelessly controlled heating device (communication pattern 4) to keep the temperature within the desired range. Please refer to the description of the configuration parameters 1 , 2 , 4 and 5 for more information how to control wireless devices and how to set a desired temperature range.

To gain higher accuracy with the temperature sensor the device can be calibrated.

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:

A single click on the tampering switch behind the battery cover will send out a 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:

MBINAR is awake right after inclusion for 2.5 seconds allowing the controller to perform certain configuration. It is possible to manually wake up the device by pushing the tamper switch. MBINAR will accept wakeup intervals between 4 minutes and 180 days.

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

3| 5| Nodes to receive updates on thermostat set point change and binary reports
---|---|---
2| 5| Nodes to be controlled by thermostat
1| 5| Nodes to be switched on/off on dry contacts switch

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.
