Z-Wave Smoke/Heat Alarm
SKU: EiA660RFZ
Quickstart
This is a
secure
Alarm Sensor
for
U.S. / Canada / Mexico.
Please make sure the internal battery is fully charged.
To add this device to your network execute the following action:
To include the device start the inclusion on your controller and then hit the
little button on the wireless module for 1 second
Please refer to the
Manufacturers
Manual
for more information.
Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in
this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law.
The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any
loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this
manual or any other material.
Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal
instructions.
Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.
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 consists of a premium quality Photoelectric Smoke & Heat Alarm designed to North American standards, combined with a plug-in Z-Wave wireless communication module.The Alarm will also function as a standalone device and is certified by Underwriters Laboratories and satisfies all UL217 requirements. Patented, high-performance optical chamber with integral micro- mesh fixed insect screen further reduces the possibility of false alarms. The fixed & Rate of rise temperature sensor allows for early indication of fast flaming fires.A large test button allows on-device test of smoke chamber, electronics and battery. The device also offers a built-in self-test and an electronic smoke chamber test making the use of test aerosol unnecessary. A low battery warning will last for 30 days, but full function of the Alarm will continue during this time.The Z-Wave module allows the device to report smoke (EiA650RFZ) or to report smoke, heat warning (EiA660RFZ) as well as low battery alarms wirelessly to a central Z-Wave Controller.
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.
To reset the device keep the button pushed for 10 seconds. After 5 seconds the led starts flashing and after another 5seconds there is a short beep signaling the successful reset back to factory defaults. Use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
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
To include the device start the inclusion on your controller and then hit the little button on the wireless module for 1 second
Exclusion
To exclude the device start the inclusion on your controller and then hitthe little button on the wireless module for 1 second
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- 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
1 | 10 | Z-Wave Plus Lifeline |
---|---|---|
2 | 10 | Alarm Reports. All devices in this group will receive Alarm |
notifications (Smoke , Battery Low, Tamper)
3| 10| Switching Command. All devices in this group will receive a BASIC SET
command on Smoke Alarms. Configuration parameter 3 and 4 will define when ON
and when OFF is sent.

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.
