Network Inclusion

The sensor must be added to a Z-Wave network prior to use. To include the sensor in a network both the sensor and the network controller must be in inclusion mode at the same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your specific controller for details on initiating the controller’s inclusion mode.

Verify that the Z-Wave Plus controller you are using is compatible with the Light Sensor.
Either mount or move the Light Sensor as close as possible to the location the sensor will remain. See installation section below.
Put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode.
To add the sensor to an existing Z-Wave network, follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Controller into add (inclusion) mode. Activate inclusion mode for the sensor by removing the plastic pull-tab from the back of the sensor. When the inclusion process in complete, the LED on the sensor will be solid blue, then go out.
Test the sensor. With the light sensor top cover closed, cover and uncover the phototransistor. If the LED flashes ONE TIME, it is successfully communicating on your Zwave network. If the LED on the sensor flashes slow and steady for 5 seconds, you need to repeat the inclusion process.

Network Inclusion: Key Points to Remember

Controller inclusion mode must be activated BEFORE starting sensor inclusion mode.
The sensor can only be included into one controller network at a time, and must be excluded from one network before inclusion in another.
Removing the pull tab connects the battery and initiates sensor inclusion mode. Inclusion mode can also be initiated by removing the battery for at least 5 seconds, reinstalling the battery, then replacing the sensor cover.
The plastic pull tab must be removed to enable sensor operation.
The sensor automatically enters inclusion mode at power-up.
Exclusion mode on the senor is initiated following the same exact procedure as inclusion.

Installation

The package contains the following:

1-Light Sensor
1-Sensor Mounting Bracket
2-Screws for Sensor Mounting Bracket
1-Adhesive tape for Sensor Mounting Bracket

STEP ONE Identify Location for Sensor: Determine where on the mounting surface you are able to mount the sensor.
STEP TWO Mount the sensor to a clean dry surface with the adhesive tape and/or the screws provided.

ADDITIONAL NOTES AND SUMMARY

With either mounting method the first step is to attach the sensor mounting bracket to the mounting surface. (The mounting bracket is used regardlessof choice of screws or tape).
The sensor can slide onto the mounting bracket in two different ways. To ensure that the sensor is securely fastened it is recommended that the tabon the bracket engage the back of the sensor.
Before attaching the bracket to a surface note how the bracket will need to be oriented in order for the tab to engage the sensor. The requiredorientation of the sensor determines the bracket orientation.
The sensor slides onto the bracket until the tab engages. Please be advised that adhesive tape may damage the surfaces to which it is attached.

What is Z-Wave?
The Z-Wave protocol is an interoperable, wireless, RF-based communications technology designed specifically for control, monitoring and status reading applications in residential and light commercial environments. Mature, proven and broadly deployed (with over 35 million products sold worldwide), Z-Wave is by far the world market leader in wireless control, bringing affordable, reliable and easy-to-use ‘smart’ products to many millions of people in every aspect of daily life. Certified Z-Wave devices regardless of manufacturer can work together to form a Z-Wave mesh network. Always on Z-Wave devices can act as repeaters in the mesh increasing range and redundancy.

Z-Wave Device Class and Command Class Information
This Z-Wave sensor is a Z-Wave generic Device Class of GENERIC_TYPE_SENSOR_NOTIFICATION, and a specific device class of SPECIFIC_TYPE_NOTIFICATION_SENSOR, and the supported command classes are COMMAND_CLASS_ZWAVEPLUS_INFO, COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION, COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC, COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL, COMMAND_CLASS_BATTERY, COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION_V4, COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION, COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO, COMMAND_CLASS_WAKE_UP, COMMAND_CLASS_SENSOR_BINARY, COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION, COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC.

Manufacturer Specific
Manufacturer ID: 0x014A Product Type: 4
Product ID: 2

Factory Default

To restore this sensor to factory default settings, follow the instructions in this manual to exclude this sensor from the Z-Wave network. Upon completion of removal from the network the sensor will restore itself to factory default settings automatically. Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Keeping Awake for Testing and Configuration
To save power, this sensor sleeps most of the time and is therefore not awake to receive messages from a gateway for testing. Removing the top case from the sensor will put in device into a tampered mode in which the sensor will stay awake and able to receive messages. Most of the time an end user would not do this, but if the sensor needs to be configured after inclusion, an end user can follow the instructions below for sending Wake-Up notifications.

Association
This sensor has two Association groups of 5 nodes each. Group one is a lifeline group who will receive unsolicited messages relating to door/window open/close notifications, case tampering notifications, low-battery notifications, and sensor binary reports. Group 2 is intended for devices that are to be controlled i.e. turned on or off (on only by default) with a Basic Set. On inclusion the controller should put its node ID in group 1 but not group 2.

Network Wide Inclusion
This sensor also supports Network Wide Inclusion such that the Sensor can be included into the Z-Wave network over the mesh network and not directly near the main controller. This mode is automatically activated after regular inclusion was not successful.

Wake-Up Notification
The sensor will wake up every so often and when the case is closed to send a Wake-Up Notification to allow the life line master node controller that the sensor is now available for any queued messages that the controller may have for the sensor. The time between Wake-Up Notifications can be configured with the Wake- Up Notification command class to be between 1 hour and 1 week with interval steps of 200 seconds.

Configuration

The sensor has two configuration parameters. Parameter 1 configures the sensor to send or not send Basic Set commands of 0x00 to nodes in Association group 2 turning the devices off when the sensor is in a restored state i.e. the door is closed. By default the sensor does NOT send Basic Set commands of 0x00. Parameter 2 configures the sensor to either to send or not to send Sensor Binary Report commands to Association Group 1 when the sensor is faulted and restored. If the controller is fully compatible with the Notification Command Class thereby making the Sensor Binary Reports redundant, the controller can disable the Sensor Binary Report Commands completely. The following table shows the values to enable and disable the two configuration parameters.
