PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CAUTION! – Any use other than that specified herein or in environmental conditions other than those stated in this manual is to be considered improper and is strictly forbidden!

The BiDi-ZWave accessory is a device that – by means of Z-Wave™ communication – allows for controlling the movement and status of Gate&Door-type Nice automations compatible with the BUS T4 (Opera) protocol.
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, make sure to have the following:

•  Nice automation control unit of the Gate&Door catalogue equipped with BUS T4 connector
• 1 Z-Wave smart home controller
• If you want to improve the BiDi-ZWave Z-Wave range: 1 antenna compliant with the technical specification (see chapter 10) – not included.

INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect the power supply from the automation’s control unit

2. All LEDs on the automation’s control unit should be off before continuing

3. If you want to install the external antenna, you can do it now
   Caution! Use only antennas and cables compliant with technical specifications (see chapter 10)!

4. If present, remove the plastic pre-cut element from BUS T4 connector and check that there are no burrs
   

5. Insert the BiDi-ZWave into the BUS T4 port of the connector unit
   Caution! If the BiDi-ZWave is inserted incorrectly, it may permanently damage the control unit!
   

6. Power the automation’s control unit

7. LEDs on the BiDi-ZWave will show adding and antenna status

8. Wait for the BiDi-ZWave to finish the initialization sequence (T4 LED flashing green)

9. Add the device to the Z-Wave network; for the relevant procedure

ADDING TO THE Z-WAVE NETWORK

Install the external antenna before powering the device and adding to the Z-Wave network for the device to automatically detect and enable it (use only antennas and cables compliant with technical specification – see chapter 10).

Adding manually

1. Set the Z-Wave gateway into adding mode (see the Z-Wave gateway’s manual)

2. On the BiDi-ZWave press and release the S1 button 3 times
   

3. LEDs on the BiDi-ZWave will start slow flashing alternately

4. If you are adding in Security S2 Authenticated, input the underlined part of the DSK (label on the box)

5. When the adding process ends, the LEDs on the BiDi-ZWave will show adding and antenna status

Adding using SmartStart
SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network range.

1. To use SmartStart your Z-Wave gateway needs to support Security S2 (see the Z-Wave gateway’s manual)

2. Disconnect the power supply from the automation’s control unit

3. Enter the full DSK string code to your Z-Wave gateway. If your controller is capable of QR scanning, scan the QR code placed on the label on the device and bottom of the box

4. Power the automation’s control unit

5. LEDs on the BiDi-ZWave will start slow flashing alternately

6. When the adding process ends, the LEDs on the BiDi-ZWave will show adding and antenna status (Table 1)

REMOVING FROM THE Z-WAVE NETWORK

1. Set the Z-Wave gateway into remove mode (see the Z-Wave gateway’s manual)

2. On the BiDi-ZWave press and release the S1 button 3 times
   

3. LEDs on the BiDi-ZWave will start slow flashing alternately

4. Wait for the removing process to end

EXTERNAL ANTENNA

The BiDi-ZWave is equipped with an internal antenna, but an external antenna can be connected to improve the Z-Wave network range, e.g. when the gate is far away from the house. Check the technical specification to buy the correct antenna and cable

Checking and switching enabled antenna
The external antenna will be detected and enabled automatically after powering the device (if not added to the Z-Wave network), but you can switch manually between antennas using the following procedure.

1. Press and hold the S1 button

2. Wait 3 seconds

3. LEDs will show adding and antenna status (Table 1) for 3 seconds

4. LEDs will turn off for 3 seconds

5. When LEDs show the selected antenna, release the button: ZW LED (blue) for internal antenna, T4 LED (green) for external antenna

6. If you want to switch the antenna, press and release the S1 button

7. If the antenna was switched, the corresponding LED will flash 2 times: ZW LED (blue) for internal antenna, T4 LED (green) for external antenna

OPERATION

To control the movement use Z-Wave gateway’s interface or click the S1 button (works in Step-by-Step mode).

RESET

Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave gateway and user configuration will be deleted.
Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing described.

1. Press and hold the S1 button

2. Wait 3 seconds

3. LEDs will show adding and antenna status (Table 1) for 3 seconds

4. LEDs will turn off for 3 seconds

5. LEDs will show selected antenna (Table 2) for 3 seconds

6. When both LEDs light up simultaneously, release the button

7. Press and release the S1 button

8. Both LEDs will flash once at the end of the procedure
