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.

Quickly press ON (Top) button three (3) times then immediatelypress the OFF (Bottom) button three (3) times. The LED will flashON/OFF 5 times when completed successfully.NOTE: This should only be used in the event your networksprimary 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

1. Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave certified controller toinclude a device to the Z-Wave network.2. Once the controller is ready to add your device,press and release the top or bottom of the wireless smartswitch (rocker) to add it in the network.Please reference the controllers manual for instructions.

Exclusion

1. Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave certified controller toremove a device from the Z-Wave network.2. Once the controller is ready to Exclude your device, pressand release the top or bottom of the wireless smart dimmer(rocker) to remove it 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.

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: Dim Rate Adjustments

SettingDescription

Parameter 3: LED Light

When shipped from the factory, the LED is set to turn ON when the connected light is turned OFF. This is the default setting and can be changed if your primary controller supports the node configuration function. To make the LED turn ON when the light is turned ON, change parameter 3s value to 1. To turn the LED OFF at all times, change parameter 3s value to 2.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

Parameter 4: Invert Switch

If the switch is accidentally installed upside down with On at the bottom and Off at the top, the default On/Off rocker settings can be reversed by changing parameter 4s value to 1.

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.
