CEPT (Europe).

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

To add this device to your network execute the following action:
The device supports both the mechanism Network Wide Inclusion (which offers the possibility of inclusion in a network even though the device is not directly related to the controller) and the Normal Inclusion.If the device is in factory default configuration, the single click of one of the buttons, starts the Network Wide Inclusion process that lasts for a time between 15 and 30 seconds.

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.

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.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer

Product Description

Eelecta Homepad is a 4 channels pushbutton with 1 integrated 10A 250V relay. Equipped with 5 Led for buttons feedback and relay status. The device can control electrical loads or dimmerable actuators. The module is controlled either through the Z-Wave network or a simple switch. Designed to replace your conventional switch and control the connected load. The device works with 3-wires system, so neutral is required.

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 restore the device to the original factory configuration one of the following methods can be adopted:1. Remove the device from the Z-Wave network using the controller;2. Disconnect the device from the main power supply and reconnect it pressing consecutively six times one of its buttons within 1 minute from the device start. Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.INFO: Upon removal, if the device (node) is included in a network it notifies to other devices its removal (Device Reset Locally Notification).If the device receives a notification of removal from part of another device in the network, the associations of the latter will be removed.

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 device supports both the mechanism Network Wide Inclusion (which offers the possibility of inclusion in a network even though the device is not directly related to the controller) and the Normal Inclusion.If the device is in factory default configuration, the single click of one of the buttons, starts the Network Wide Inclusion process that lasts for a time between 15 and 30 seconds.

Exclusion

Only a controller has the ability to remove a device from the Z-Wave network where is included.PB41AxxZWE is compatible with all certified Z-Wave controllers.The exclusion procedure must be initiated by the controller and ended on the device that can be removed with the triple consecutive pressing of one of the buttons on the device.

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

1| 8| Z-Wave Plus Lifeline; Switch Binary Report or Device Reset Locally Notification are sent to the nodes in this association group.
---|---|---
2| 8| On/Off control; Switch Binary/Push Button Set.
3| 8| Dimming Control; Dimmer Set.

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.

SettingDescription

Parameter 2: Control of devices linked with groups 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

SettingDescription

Parameter 5: LED Feedback

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.
