Quickstart

This is a secure Siren for Europe. To run this device please insert fresh 4 * LR14 batteries. Please make sure the internal battery is fully charged.
The voice siren supports the Auto Inclusion feature where it will automatically enter Inclusion mode when first powered up after a factory reset.
Note: Depending on the country, the unit may be shipped with batteries already inserted. In this case, simply pull out the Battery Mylar, set the Z-Wave controller into Inclusion mode, and then proceed to step 4.

1. Carefully remove its back cover by peeling it from the opening slot at the bottom.
2. Set the Z-Wave controller into Inclusion mode.
3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Note the correct polarity of the battery as indicated.
4. The unit LED will start to blink. The duration of Inclusion mode is 30 seconds.
5. The Inclusion process should be completed when the LED stops blinking.

Note: If you are connecting this unit to a Z-Wave Controller that utilizes the S2 security protocol, you may be asked by your controller to enter a 5-digit Device Specific Key  (DSK) that is unique to each unit. This can be found in one of two places:

• on the QR code label on the back of the unit
• on the insert card inside the packaging.

Important safety information

Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and  seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment only for its  intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.

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 direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified ZWave 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 product is a voice alert and notification device. Prerecorded voice sounds can be stored in its memory and played back through gateway commands. For example, when an email arrives, the audio sound you’ve got mail can be heard from its speaker. It also has a separate piezoelectric siren to emit a deafening sound when activated in an emergency.  In addition, the built-in digital temperature sensor and humidity sensor report the environmental conditions to the controller.

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 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 being reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

1. Press the Link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into exclusion mode.
2. Within 1 second of step 1, press the Link button again and hold for 5 seconds.
3. Node ID is excluded. The unit reverts to the factory default state.

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

Inserting the batteries

1. Carefully remove its back cover by peeling it from the opening slot at the bottom.
2. Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Note the correct polarity of the battery as indicated.

Mounting the Unit
The voice siren should be mounted in a vertical position about 2 meters from the floor.

1. Use the backplate as a template to mark and drill the position of two mounting holes on the wall. Fix the backplate to the wall using the plastic wall plugs and fix screws provided
2. Slide the unit down to its backplate and press against the wall to secure it into place.

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
Press the Link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into inclusion mode.
Exclusion
Press the Link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into exclusion mode.

Product Usage

Product Overview

External Files:
For information on managing audio files on the siren, refer to the original manual included with the unit.

• Format : WAVE format (file extension .wav)
• Sample rate: 8KHz~32KHz.
• Mono only
• Maximum length: 30 seconds for each file

Note: MP3 file needs to be converted to .wav format.

1. Use a sound editor software on a PC to modify the audio files to fulfill the format above.
2. Save the files into a folder. Ensure the total size of all the files do not exceed 2MByte in size, which is roughly 85 seconds of playback.

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. 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 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 be needed to be given as negative values too.
Parameter 1: Siren alarm period
Siren alarm period
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 180

Parameter 2: Temperature/Humidity Auto Report period setting
Temperature/ Humidity Auto Report period setting
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 30

Parameter 3: Sound Playback
