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

AXIS T8343 Alert Button is a wireless push button which relays events such as notification messages, illumination and much more. With its support for wireless input/output connectivity, the alert button can communicate wirelessly with AXIS M5065 PTZ Network camera or other connected Z-Wave Plus controllers, creating a small security solution with less cabling. Thanks to its integrated wireless I/O connectivity, AXIS T8343 enables flexible installation as the relay can easily be moved and adapted to your needs.

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 (This procedure should only be used when the controller is inoperable.)1. Press the link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into exclusion mode.2. Within 1 second of step 1, press the link button again and hold for 5 seconds.3. Node ID is excluded. The device reverts to factory default state.

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

Auto inclusionThe detector supports the auto inclusion feature where it will automatically enter Inclusion mode when first powered up. This willalso apply when powered up after a factory reset.1. Carefully remove the front cover by pulling the bottom of the front cover. There is a link button which is used to put thedevice in learning mode (inclusion/exclusion).2. Put a Z-Wave controller into inclusion mode.3. Insert 2 AAA-batteries (1,5V) into the battery compartment with the correct polarity. The LED on the device should turn ON4. The inclusion process should be completed when the LED stops blinkingManual inclusionYou can also choose to manually add the Z-Wave device to a control device. Please follow the steps described below.NoteFor best results, exclude the device before starting the inclusion process. For more details see the installation guide1. Press the link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into learning (inclusion/exclusion) mode.2. The inclusion process should be completed when the LED stops blinking3. Perform a test before you refit the cover.

Exclusion

Manual exclusionNoteFor more details see the installation guide1. Detach the battery cover.2. Press the link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into learning (inclusion/exclusion) mode.3. The exclusion process should be completed when the LED stops blinking4. Refit the battery cover.

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:

Wakeup Command ClassAfter it has been included into a Z-Wave network, the detector will go to sleep but will send a Wakeup Notification Command periodically at preset period to the controller. The detector will stay awake for 10 seconds at least and then go back to sleep to conserve battery life.The time interval between Wakeup Notification Commands can be set in the Wakeup Command Class based on the range values below:Minimum Wake Up Interval 600s (10 minutes)Maximum Wake Up Interval 86400s (1 day)Default Wake Up Interval 14400s (4 hours)Wake Up Interval Step Seconds 600s (10 minutes)

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 1 Association with 1 node.
2 4 Association with 4 nodes (i.e. end devices such as smart plugs and other

lighting controllers).This allows the On/Off module to receive commands directly from these end devices without the participation of the controller.
