DEVICE

The Z-Wave 8ch switch module is a Z-Wave device that can control other Z-Wave network devices using up to 8 switches connected to it. The Z- ave 8ch switch module can be connected to a optional (two-wire) temperature Probe. The device is powered by a 1/2 AA battery (ER14250) or an alternative 12-24V DC power source.

NOTE: DO NOT MIX POWER SOURCES

Z-Wave 8ch switch module supports the following commands:

Turn ON;
Switch OFF on at the set value; Sending multi-level commands to such devices as: dimmer, curtain control module, etc.; Sending present scenes (Scene Activation Set) (check with your controller’s manual to see if such commands are supported)

DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY

The Z-Wave 8ch switch module is designed to transmit control commands to other Z-Wave modules using switches connected to it.
Z-Wave 8ch switch module can be connected to both monostable and bistable switches.

Monostable switch – a return-type switch or button, each press sends the command of your choice to the assigned device.

Bistable switch – switch with two fixed positions ON or Off. When the key is pressed (contact closed) – the device sends the command Turn ON, when released (contact open) – the command Turn OFF to all devices in the corresponding Association group.
To control devices, as well as to assign the type of control commands, you need to add the device to your Z-Wave network and configure it using parameters and adding links.

CONNECTING AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE

STEP 1

The device is designed to be installed in a standard installation box. The device is powered by a 1/2 AA battery (ER14250) or an alternative 12-24V DC power source (Figure 2). Choose the power supply method and connect the switches according to the diagram.

Wiring diagram of device

PLEASE NOTE! The simultaneous use of two power sources (battery and alternative power supply) will cause permanent damage to the device.
Contacts marking:

In8 – Switch # 8;
In7 – Switch # 7;
In6 – Switch # 6;
In5 – Switch # 5;
In4 – Switch # 4;
In3 – Switch # 3;
In2 – Switch # 2;
In1 – Switch # 1;
Com – connector for connecting the red wire of the temperature sensor; – – common connector for connecting switches, also an alternative power source and the blue wire of the temperature sensor;
+ – connector for an alternative power supply;

To install battery open enclosure cover with small screwdriver by lifting sides of the lead. Install ER14250 type battery (pay attention for the +, – marking). Then close cover.

STEP 2

To add a switch to the Z-Wave network, put the controller into learning mode (see your controller’s manual) and hold the Inclusion/Exclusion button for 3 seconds.
To remove (exclude) the switch from the Z-Wave network, put the controller into exclusion mode (see the controller manual) and hold the Inclusion/Exclusion button for 3 seconds. Please note that after excluding the device from the Z-Wave network, all the settings you have made will be reset to factory settings.
If you have any problems with connecting the device to your Z-Wave network, you need to go through the procedure of excluding from the Z-Wave network, and then repeat the adding procedure.

STEP 3

Using the main controller of your Z-Wave network, assign the devices that the Z-Wave 8ch switch module will control. To do this, add the controlled devices to the corresponding Association groups, and also select the types of commands that the ZWave 8ch switch module will send to the controlled devices (To configure the Association and parameters, refer to the user manual of your main controller).

ASSOCIATIONS

Z-Wave devices can interact with each other, as well as exchange data and other information directly without the use of your controller, for communications.
Each Button can have its own list of recipients, called an Association group.
Refer to the user manual of your Z-Wave controller for link setup.
Group 1 will be automatically assigned to your Controller. Only add those devices that will be controlled by the Z-Wave 8ch switch module to their associated Groups, and leave unused groups empty.

Please note!
When Z-Wave 8ch switch module is powered by a battery and to increase the service life, module is constantly in sleep mode. After adding devices to Association groups, wake up the device by pressing the Inclusion/Exclusion button to apply the settings.
