Remotec REMEZTRVV01 Z Wave Thermostat

Product Information

The Remotec Thermostat Z-Wave is a secure device designed for use in Europe. It is powered by 2 AA batteries and has an integrated Z-Wave communication module that allows it to connect with the 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 to take full advantage of all functionality of the TRV.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Insert fresh 2 * AA batteries into the device, ensuring that the internal battery is fully charged.
2. Add TRV DSK into the primary controller SmartStart Provisioning List. If you don’t know how to do this, refer to its manual, DSK usually printed on the main body of the device.
3. Remove the battery from the TRV. A few seconds later, repower the TRV.
4. The TRV will send the Z-Wave protocol Command Class frame to start SmartStart Inclusion.

Prepare for Installation/Reset
To reset the device to factory default, press and hold the rotary plate for at least 5 seconds and release it when the screen will blink off. 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 the gateway.

Installation Instructions:

1. Choose the right adapter and install it to the valve if the TRV cannot install to your valve directly. Adapter: Danfoss RA, Caleffi, Giacomini
2. Take off the batteries and put them on again to repower the TRV.
3. The screen will blink LA until it becomes solid.
4. Install the TRV to the valve.
5. Click the rotary plate once and the LA will start blinking again.
6. Installation completed (LA disappears and shows the temperature).

Inclusion/Exclusion Instructions:
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.

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 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 the 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 securely 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.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers, etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

• The TRV is based on the Z-WaveTM Slave library of V7.16.03. This TRV-integrated Z-Wave communication module connects with the 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 to take full advantage of all functions of 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 the factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device to 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 being reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

In the “OF” state, press and hold the 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 the 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 levels or different brands.

Installation

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

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 are then performed by 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 the “OF” state, short press the rotary plate three times until the screen shows “–”.
4. The screen will show “PA” after a 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 the “OF” state, short press the rotary plate three times until the screen shows “–“.
4. The screen will turn back to“OF” after a few seconds, which meant the inclusion is successful. The antenna icon light will be off.

Product Usage

ON / OFF
If 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, and the display will show “OP” When the window is closed, meanwhile, the 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, the display will show “AS”, and when the run is finished will recover the 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 it.

Anti-freezing function
In the power off state, the screen shows 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 polarities are correctly aligned.
3. Close the cover

Quick troubleshooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things don’t work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in a factory reset state before including it. 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. Don’t poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains-powered devices to benefit from the meshing

Association

one device controls another 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, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Association Groups:

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however, certain configurations 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 the case of a two-byte value, the same logic applies Values greater than 32768 may need to be given as negative values too.
