Quickstart

This is a ****

Siren
for
U.S. / Canada / Mexico.

To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.

To add this device to your network execute the following action:
The Z-Wave Plus Siren must be added to a Z-Wave network prior to use. To include the siren in a network both the siren and the network controller must be in inclusion mode at the same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your specific controller for details on initiating the controllers inclusion mode. 1)Verify that the Z-Wave Plus controller you are using is compatible with the Z-Wave Plus Siren.2)Locate the power outlet desired to be used with the Z-Wave Plus Siren.3)Put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode. 4)Plug in the Z-Wave Siren and verify a single beep sound is heard.5)The LED on the front of the unit will turn off if successful included into a network.

Please refer to the
Manufacturers Manual for more information.

Important safety information

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 Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Siren provides home users with a simple way to keep a location safe and secure.The Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Siren can also be used to audibly notify the user of any Z-Wave state changes.The device is as simple to use as plugging in a wall outlet.The device can create 4 independent tones for different alerts to the user.These could include but are not limited to: Security Alarm, entry/exit, smoke/Fire, temperature and more.The Z-Wave Plus Siren can also be used as a Z-Wave Plus network extension.

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.

The Z-Wave Plus Siren is automatically factory defaulted when removed from a Z-Wave network. Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

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

The Z-Wave Plus Siren must be added to a Z-Wave network prior to use. To include the siren in a network both the siren and the network controller must be in inclusion mode at the same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your specific controller for details on initiating the controllers inclusion mode. 1)Verify that the Z-Wave Plus controller you are using is compatible with the Z-Wave Plus Siren.2)Locate the power outlet desired to be used with the Z-Wave Plus Siren.3)Put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode. 4)Plug in the Z-Wave Siren and verify a single beep sound is heard.5)The LED on the front of the unit will turn off if successful included into a network.

Exclusion

1)Any Z-Wave Plus Device can be removed from any Z-Wave Plus controller. Follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into exclusion mode.2)Unplug and re-plug in your Z-Wave Plus Siren.3)The device will play a long beep and the LED will begin to breathe if the device is successfully removed from the network.

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.

Technical Data

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.
