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

Ring Panic Button is an instant trigger for Ring Alarm.In case of emergency, Panic Button can be usedto signal your Ring Alarm Base Station to sound its siren. If youre subscribed to Ring Protect Plus, our 24/7 professional monitoring center is notified and emergency responders can be dispatched.

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 Instructions – – Press and hold the Setup button for 10 seconds. When the LED ring stops blinking, your Panic Button has reset.Note: – A factory reset disconnects the Panic Button from your Ring Alarm. To begin using the Panic Button again, repeat the setup process in the Ring app.- Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

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 Instructions — Begin the setup process near your Ring Alarm Base Station.- In the Ring app, tap Set Up a Device- Choose Security Devices, then Base Station,then Ring Panic Button, and tap Add Device- To complete the setup process, follow the in-app instructions.- When prompted, scan the QR Code or enter the PIN. (The QR Code and PIN are on the back of your Panic Button and in the product packaging.)- This begins the pairing process.- When prompted, pull out the clear tab.- This turns the Panic Button on. Your Base Station then finds it automatically.- As the Panic Button pairs to your Base Station, its LED ring will blink. Once it pairs, the LED glows blue for three seconds.Note: If the Panic Button does not pair successfully, the LED ring glows red. To try the pairing process again, remove and reinstall the battery inside the Panic Button.

Exclusion

Exclusion Instructions – – Open the side menu in the Ring app and tap Devices, then Base Station. Select your Panic Button and tap the gear-shaped icon. Then tap Remove Device.- When prompted, open the Panic Button and remove and reinstall the battery to complete the removal.

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:

Open top cover to wakeup 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:

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 1: Heartbeats

Heartbeats:This parameter is the number seconds between heartbeats. Heartbeats are automatic battery reports on a timer after the last event.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 4200

SettingDescription

Parameter 2: One shot timer

One shot timer:Writing to this parameter prompts the sensor to send a wakeup notification one time after this parameter’s number of seconds. After which it is reset back to 0.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 3: Number of application level retries

Number of application level retries of messages either not ACKed or messages encapsulated via supervision get that did not receive a report
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 5

SettingDescription

Parameter 4: Application Level Retry Base Wait Time Period

Application Level Retry Base Wait Time Period:The number base seconds used in the calculation for sleeping between retry messages
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 6

SettingDescription

Parameter 5: Wait time for a Supervisory Report response

The number of milliseconds waiting for a Supervisory Report response to a Supervisory Get encapsulated command from the sensor.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 1500
