ZRP-200
Z-Wave Slim Repeater

****

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the ZRP-200 Range Booster product. ZRP-200 is a Z-Wave repeater with the best RF performance to replicate Z-Wave signals in a network. The repeater re-transmits an input Radio Frequency (RF) signal by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots to ensure that the signal is received at its intended destinations.

ZRP-200 is a security-enabled Z-Wave plus device. Security Enabled Z-Wave Plus Controller must be used in order to fully utilize the product.

Z-Wave Glossary

Device or Node| Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave network.
---|---
Inclusion| Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion| Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.
Remove| To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network.
Network Wide Inclusion (NWI)| Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end- user friendly, Plug and Play like Z-Wave network installation as well as professional installation scenario where the inclusion process, in terms of time will be reduced significantly. NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named Explorer which enables the Z-Wave protocol to implement Adaptive Source Routing.
Z-Wave Network| A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control the system.
Primary Controller| The first controller is used to set up your devices and network. Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or remove devices from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.
FLiRS Mode| FLiRS is an abbreviation for “Frequently Listening Routing Slave”.FLiRS mode is targeted for battery-operated applications and will enter sleep mode frequently in order to conserve battery consumption. The response to the Z-Wave command is not as quick as the Always Listening Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.
Always Listening Mode| Always Listening Mode is targeted for AC power operated applications and it can act as a repeater, which will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacle and radio dead spots. The response to the Z-Wave command is immediate.
Association| Association is used to organize nodes in different groups allowing the device to identify the nodes by a group identifier. The groups can also be copied to other devices.

Get Started

Open the box

Step 2 Include ZRP-200 to a Z-Wave Gateway

step	Procedure/Description	Status Indicator
I	Refer to your primary controller to enter into the Inclusion Mode or

Exclusion Mode
2| When it is prompted to enter it, please triple-click the “PROG” button within I second.| Blue Indicator flashes TWICE then stay off

Red Indicator flashes TWICE then stay off to represent the Add / Remove process failed, please repeat the above step again.
If the Add (Include) process fails, try Remove (Exclude) and /or resetting the Z-Wave Slim Repeater to
Factory Default and repeat the above step.
ZRP-200 will not support Basic Command Class.

The Below listed Command Class are all supported the Security S2

COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO
COMMAND_CLASS_DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY
COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC
COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL
COMMAND_CLASS_SUPERVISION
COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION

Step 3 Setup Automatic Status Report Association to Gateway

Please consult your Gateway supplier for more detail. Normally, the User can ignore this step during the setup.
ZRP-200 supports 1 association group
Association Group #1
Association Group #1 (max. 1 node) defaults to associate with the primary controller
(Gateway/Hub/Controller) for the Z-Wave Repeater Status change report, refer to below for report details:
a) Device Reset Locally Notification (Only report when the Z-Wave Repeater has been triggered the
RESET TO DEFAULT)

Health Channel Checking

This feature is only to check the connectivity between the Z-Wave Slim Repeater and the Gateway.
Before use this feature, make sure the ZRP-200 has been included in the network.

Step	Procedure / Description	Status Indicator
1	Press once of the “PROG” button	Indicator lights up in the following

sequence and cycling until the finish checking:
| Blue → Purple → Red
---|---
2| When it has finished, it will light up the indicator 5 seconds accordingly.| Blue = Excellent
