Quickstart

This is a ****

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:
Inclusion: Including the RTH100Z into an Existing Network:1. Set your primary controller to Include mode, to add the RTH100Z as a node on your network (see your controllers user manual for detailed instructions).2. Press and release the Install button. The controller will indicate the device has been included into the network.Your controller will indicate the RTH100Z was successfully added to its network (see your controllers user manual for details).Inclusion and exclusion are always done at normal transmit power mode.If your controller supports NWI, then you can optionally set the primary to NWI include mode. Please note that NWI inclusion mode does not end when you have included a new node.This allows multiple nodes to be included without having to physically go back to the controller to initiate the next inclusion.Therefore you must manually terminate NWI inclusion mode at the controller when you have finished including any new nodes to the network.Since intermediate included nodes will assist the inclusion process by routing messages, we recommend that nodes close to the primary controller be installed first, proceeding out in consecutive rings from the controller.Note: Consult your controllers user manual for details on removing a device from a Z-Wave network.

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

Remote Temperature and Humidity Sensor for HVAC market

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.

Factory Reset To reset the RTH100Zs configurations and Z-Wave parameters to Factory Settings (Including association groups and scene configurations), and remove the RTH100Z from any Z-Wave network: Note: Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable1. Hold down the Install button for approximately 10 seconds 2. Release the install button (the RTH100Z will reset all internal configuration including z-wave configurations). The unit will then reset. 3. When the Status LED begins to blink (un-enrolled) the unit has finished restoring configurations is running in normal mode.

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

Inclusion: Including the RTH100Z into an Existing Network:1. Set your primary controller to Include mode, to add the RTH100Z as a node on your network (see your controllers user manual for detailed instructions).2. Press and release the Install button. The controller will indicate the device has been included into the network.Your controller will indicate the RTH100Z was successfully added to its network (see your controllers user manual for details).Inclusion and exclusion are always done at normal transmit power mode.If your controller supports NWI, then you can optionally set the primary to NWI include mode. Please note that NWI inclusion mode does not end when you have included a new node.This allows multiple nodes to be included without having to physically go back to the controller to initiate the next inclusion.Therefore you must manually terminate NWI inclusion mode at the controller when you have finished including any new nodes to the network.Since intermediate included nodes will assist the inclusion process by routing messages, we recommend that nodes close to the primary controller be installed first, proceeding out in consecutive rings from the controller.Note: Consult your controllers user manual for details on removing a device from a Z-Wave network.

Exclusion

Exclusion: Removing the RTH100Z from a Network:1. Set your primary controller to Remove mode, to remove the RTH100Z as a node on your network (see your controllers user manual for detailed instructions).2. Press and release the Install button. The controller will indicate the device has been removed from the network.3. The device will automatically be restored to its default settings

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time
to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network.
This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller,
communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly
decreased.

This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup
state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then
empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired
wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by
a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary
configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery
life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform
the following action:

To wake-up the device for configuration you can triple-press the install button.

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	1	Z-Wave Plus Lifeline
2	5	Temperature Reports
3	5	Humidity Reports
4	5	Temperature driven BASIC_SETs
5	5	Humidity driven BASIC_SETs
6	5	Battery Reports

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 200â€ˆit 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.
