Product description
The myTEM Radio Base module MTBAS-100-WL is a Z Wave device of type Static
Controller (in combination with a myTEM Smart Server) for use in Europe /
Switzerland. It is used to expand your smart home system with wireless
products from the Z Wave range, such as the myTEM Radio Socket, myTEM Radio
Switch, keypads, window/door contacts, motion detectors, heating thermostats,
RGBW lamps, smoke detectors, sirens or water leak sensors.
The myTEM Radio Base module must be powered by a 24 VDC power supply and
connected to a myTEM Smart Server via the CAN bus. The device is installed in
a control cabinet, mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. Several myTEM Radio Base
modules can be used with the same myTEM Smart Server on the CAN bus. This can
be useful, for example, if apartments are to have their own separate Z-Wave
networks with a central server.
LED display
The LED next to the antenna may show the following states:
LED green: Device started and connected to myTEM Smart Server working
LED red: Device started but no connection with the myTEM Smart Server
LED off: Device not powered, not started, or broken
Z-Wave installation
The myTEM Radio Base, together with the myTEM Smart Server, forms a Z-Wave
Controller.
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. Therefore, make sure before the integration that the selected device is in this state. You will find the procedure in the manual of the selected device.
Quick troubleshooting
The following hints may help solve trouble:
-
Make sure that the power supply is connected with the correct polarity. With the wrong polarity, the device does not start.
-
If a device cannot establish communication to the myTEM Smart Server, check if the CAN bus (+/–) is correctly wired and the ground (GND) is connected. A missing ground connection (usually available via power supply) can affect the communication.
-
If a device cannot establish communication to the myTEM Smart Server, check whether the terminating resistor of 120 at the last device is connected to the CAN bus. If missing, please add it via terminals (CAN +/–).
-
Make sure that new Z-Wave devices are in the factory reset state.
-
If a connection cannot be established, check that the Z-Wave devices are working on the same radio frequency.
-
If a connection cannot be established, the control cabinet or the installation situation may reduce the radio signal. Please use in this case an external antenna, such as, for example, the myTEM
MUTANT-100-WL. -
Remove devices that are no longer available in the Z-Wave network from all association groups. Otherwise, significant delays in the execution of commands are possible.
-
Make sure you have enough mains-powered Z-Wave devices to benefit from the meshing network.
-
Never use “sleeping” battery-powered Z-Wave devices without a central controller.
-
Do not poll battery-powered Z-Wave devices.
Technical specifications
Explanation of some Z-Wave specific terms
Controller … is a Z-Wave device with the capability to manage a network.
They are typically gateways, remote controls, or wall controllers. The
primary controller … is the central administrator of the Z-Wave network.
In a Z-Wave network, only one primary controller is allowed.
Slave … is a Z-Wave device without the ability to manage a network.
Slaves can be sensors, actuators, and even remote controls.
Add (Inclusion) … is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a
network.
Remove (Exclusion) … is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the
network.
Wakeup Notification … is a special wireless message issued by battery-
powered Z-Wave devices to announce that they are awake and able to
communicate.
Node Information Frame (NIF) … is a special wireless message issued by a
Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
Inclusion/Exclusion (“Add/Remove”) of the device
On factory default, the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. In order to communicate with other Z-Wave devices, it must be included in an existing network or a new network has to be established. In Z-Wave, this process is called “Add”.
Devices can also be removed from networks. In Z-Wave, this process is called “Remove”. Removing a device from the network will reset it to the delivery state.
Both processes are initiated via the myTEM ProgTool. The myTEM Radio Base module is set in an “Add” or “Remove” mode and Z-Wave devices can be added to or removed from the wireless network. Further information can be found in the description of the myTEM ProgTool.
Reset to factory default myTEM Radio Base module CAUTION! The factory reset deletes all custom settings like connected devices, network configuration, scenes, favorites, etc.
If possible, connected devices should be removed from the Z-Wave network before a factory reset so that they can be added to a new wireless network later
The reset to factory default is carried out via the myTEM ProgTool with a network reset. Further information can be found in the description of the myTEM ProgTool.
Installation
WARNING! Depending on national safety standards, only authorized and/or
trained technicians may be allowed to make electrical installations on
the power supply. Please inform yourself about the legal situation before
installation.
CAUTION! When planning, consider the optimal placement of all devices in
relation to the radio range to avoid weak signals and sources of interference.
Weak signals can arise from furniture, plants, and especially metal objects
placed between devices. Possible sources of interference are electrical
devices such as a microwave or computer. Keep your devices at least 50 cm away
from sources of interference.
If necessary, use an external antenna for the radio base module if the central
placement is not possible.
Please install the device according to the following steps:
-
WARNING! Make sure that the devices are disconnected from the power supply.
-
WARNING! Connect the myTEM Radio Base module according to the diagram above or at the back. In order to use the device, a connection via
CAN bus to a myTEM Smart Server is required. -
CAUTION! The device shall only be operated with stabilized power supplies (24 VDC). Connecting higher voltages will damage the device.
-
Turn on the power.
-
With the myTEM ProgTool, you can now add the myTEM Radio Base Modul to your myTEM Smart Server.

What is Z-Wave ® ?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the
smart home. Z-Wave ensures a 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.
Z-Wave products from different manufacturers can be used together in a wireless network. Thus, this product with any Z-Wave product from other manufacturers can be used in a common Z-Wave wireless network.
The myTEM Radio Base module is a Z-Wave device with secure communication (S2) and uses the radio frequency of 868.4 MHz. If other devices also support the same secure communication, the data is exchanged in this secure mode. Otherwise, it will switch automatically to a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.
For more information about frequency regulations please refer to the homepage of Z-WaveGlobalRegions- iliconLabs(silabs.com). For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, tutorials, etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.
