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.

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.

Please use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is lost or otherwise inoperable.All Configuration Parameters can all be restored to their factory default settings by using your primary controller to delete/reset the device.To manually reset, tap the ON button twice quickly and then tap the OFF button twice quickly.Repeat the procedure to restore the settings to the factory default.

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.

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

1. Turn the connected lights ON/OFF by tapping the switch. Tapping and releasing the upper part of the rocker turns the appliance ON. Tapping and releasing the lower part of the rocker turns the appliance OFF.2. Add(Include) the module to/from your Z-Wave network with your primary controller. Please refer to the instructions manual of your gateway or remote controller for details and procedures on how these actions can be done. 3. Normally, the sequence is as follows: when the inclusion process is prompted by your primary controller, single click and release the rocker switch to ON or OFF position.The controller should show that the action was successful.If the controller shows it was a fail, repeat the procedure.

Exclusion

1. Turn the connected appliance ON/OFF by tapping the switch. Tapping and releasing the upper part of the rocker turns the appliance ON. Tapping and releasing the lower part of the rocker turns the appliance OFF.2. Delete(Exclude) the module to/from your Z-Wave network with your primary controller. Please refer to the instructions manual of your gateway or remote controller for details and procedures on how these actions can be done. 3. Normally, the sequence is as follows: when the exclusion process is prompted by your primary controller, single click and release the rocker switch.The controller should show that the action was successful. If the controller shows it was a fail, repeat the procedure.

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:

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 10: indicates the time duration of each level

The time interval of brightness change between dimming up and down can be adjustedValid Values: 1-255 (default = 3), indicates the time duration of each level.
