Quickstart

This is a
secure
On/Off Power Switch
for
U.S. / Canada / Mexico
.

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

To add this device to your network execute the following action:
This ON/OFF plug supports Auto Inclusion feature where it will automatically enter Inclusion mode when first powered up after a factory reset.1. There is an ON/OFF button on the front of the device which is used to carry out inclusion, exclusion or association.2. Put your Z-Wave Controller into inclusion/exclusion mode.3. Plug this ON/OFF Plug-in module into a wall outlet near the load to be controlled.4. The Inclusion process should be completed when the LED stops blinking.Note: If Auto Inclusion fails, refer to the Troubleshooting section regarding Manual InclusionIf auto inclusion fails:1. Put the Z-Wave Controller into Inclusion mode2. Press the ON/OFF button 3 times within1.5 seconds to put the unit into Inclusion mode

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.

Controlled outlet can be manually and remotely controlled by commands sent from your compatible Z-Wave certified controller leaving the other outlet always ON.Provides wireless control of one outlet leaving the other outlet always ON Rated for up to 12A plug loads and up to 300W of LEDsCan be associated with up to 4 other devicesSupports Z-Wave Plus functionality with S2 security certificationVoice and app based control when used with compatible Z-Wave controller or Eatons home automation hub

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 inoperable1. Press the ON/OFF button 3 times within1.5 seconds to put the unit into exclusion mode2. Within 1 second of step 1, press and hold thebutton for 5 seconds3. Node ID is deleted. The device reverts to factorydefault state

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

This ON/OFF plug supports Auto Inclusion feature where it will automatically enter Inclusion mode when first powered up after a factory reset.1. There is an ON/OFF button on the front of the device which is used to carry out inclusion, exclusion or association.2. Put your Z-Wave Controller into inclusion/exclusion mode.3. Plug this ON/OFF Plug-in module into a wall outlet near the load to be controlled.4. The Inclusion process should be completed when the LED stops blinking.Note: If Auto Inclusion fails, refer to the Troubleshooting section regarding Manual InclusionIf auto inclusion fails:1. Put the Z-Wave Controller into Inclusion mode2. Press the ON/OFF button 3 times within1.5 seconds to put the unit into Inclusion mode

Exclusion

1. Put the Z-Wave Controller into Exclusion mode2. Press the ON/OFF button 3 times within1.5 seconds to put the unit into Exclusion mode

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 4 Z-Wave Plus Lifeline
2 4 Basic SetWhen the button on the unit is pressed, the unit will send a

Basic Set command to the nodes of Group 2. When the unit is OFF, Basic Set Value = 0x00. When the unit is ON, Basic Set Value = 0xFF

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.

Parameter 13: Remember the last status

1: remember (0: do not remember)
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

SettingDescription

0 Do not remember last status

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.
