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

Control your Convectair heatingWith the Connectair Module integrated into your Convectair heater, adjust the comfort of your home according to your schedule and lifestyle, all at a distance and at all times. Once included in the ecosystem, the Connectair app and Controller allow you to control and make changes to your heating mode. Set your heaters to Comfort, Eco, Frost- protection or Standby mode, and then adjust the temperature setting as needed.It is also possible to locally change the set temperature of your heater by using the + and – buttons directly on the Connectair Module.Convectair compatible heatersThe Connectair Module is currently compatible with Allegro II models. The Apro (240V only) can also receive the information of the Module if it is connected by pilot wire to an Allegro II having the Module included.An open and flexible ecosystemThe Connectair Module uses Z-Wave Plus technology, the most widely used wireless communication system in the world of connected objects. It is through this protocol that the Module communicates with the Connectair Controller.SecureZ-Wave Plus, the protocol used by Connectair is highly secure to protect communication between connected devices and the Controller. Moreover, Connectair uses the latest version of the Z-Wave library, the most secure on the market.The Connectair Module is equipped with a manual switch to prevent anyone from remotely shutting down the Convectair heaters. When turned on, this switch blocks the Standby mode. InclusionThe inclusion steps for the Module are simple and intuitive. In three clicks, your Module will be ready to be included into the ecosystem.Once included in the ecosystem, your heater will be controllable like the rest of the connected devices and subject to ecosystem features such as the scenarios. The Convectair warranty 2 years against all manufacturing defectsDue to our commitment to research and development, we reserve the right to change specifications without notice.

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.

Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperableHold the Z-Wave button for about ten secondsIf it was included, the LED will turn back on when reset is done

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

Start the adding process on the controller sideOnce started, start the adding process on the Connectair module by pressing 3 times the Z-Wave button, located between the plus and the minus button, using the included tool.When added, the LED will turn off

Exclusion

Start the removing process on the controller sideOnce started, put the device in “learn mode” by pressing 3 times on the Z-Wave button, located between the plus and the minus button, using the included tool.When removed, the LED will turn on

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.

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.
