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

The TRV based on Z-WaveTM Slave library of V7.16.03. This TRV integrated Z-Wave communication module to connect with Z-Wave gateway.

The TRV can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications.

The TRV is a security Z-Wave device (S0/S2), so a security enabled controller is needed for take full advantage of all functionally for the TRV.

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.

In “OF” state, press and hold rotary plate for at least 5 seconds and release when the screen will blink “OF”. When the reset is successful, the screen will show “OF” in solid for 2 seconds then turn off. And TRV will reset itself to factory default by sending a “Device Reset Locally Notification” to gateway.

Safety Warning for Batteries

The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used.
Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.

Installation

IMPORTANT: Please include your TRV to the network (refer to 4.1) before doing the installation. Below is the installation process:

a. Choose the  right adapter and install it to the valve if the TRV can not install to your valve directly.

Adapter:

Danfoss RA

Caleffi

Giacomini

b.                 Take off the batteries and put them on again to REPOWER the TRV

c.                The screen will blink “LA” until it becomes solid

d.                 Install the TRV to the valve

e.                Click the rotary plate once and the “LA” will start blinking again;

f.                 Installation completed (“LA” disappears and shows the temperature).

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

1. Power on your TRV,
2. Set your Z-Wave controller into add/inclusion mode.
3. In “OF” state, short press the rotary plate three times until the screen shows “–”.
4. The screen will show “PA” after few seconds, which meant the inclusion is successful. And the antenna icon will light on.

Exclusion

1. Power on your TRV
2. Set the Z-Wave primary controller into remove/exclusion mode.
3. In “OF” state, short press the rotary plate three times until the screen shows “–“.
4. The screen will turn back to“OF” after few seconds, which meant the inclusion is successful. The antenna icon light will be off.

Product Usage

ON / OFF

The temperature <5°C , display” OF”. The temperature > 30°C, display “On”

Open window function

When using the radiator to heat, the window is opened, when the room temperature drops 6°C in 4 minutes, TRV will close the valve automatically, the display will show “OP” When the window is closed, meanwhile, room temperature increase by 2°C, TRV will open valve automatic, back to the operation mode.

Anti-scale function

If the radiator does not open within two weeks or a long time not open will let the valve clogged as the scale, and the radiator will be damaged. In order to let the radiator to use normally, TRV will open the valve running 30 seconds every two weeks, display will show “AS”, and when run finished will recover running condition.

Child lock function

In order to prevent TRV sets from children, it could activate the child lock function by long pressing the rotary plate until the display shows “LC”. Long press the rotary plate again over 10s to unlock.

Anti-freezing function

In the power off state, the screen show a fire icon.
Anti-freezing function: the valve will be opened when the temperature is below 5°C, when the temperature rises to 8°C , the valve will be closed.

Alarm

In the normal operation range: NTC sensor damage, display: “ER”

Low power alarm

When the battery voltage is extremely low , display the battery icon, which reminds that the user shall replace the battery.

Battery change

1. Open and remove the cover
2.  Insert the batteries checking the polarties are correcly aligned.
3. Close the cover

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.
