What is Z-Wave TM?

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 Z-Wave 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. For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers, etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

Aeotec Radiator Thermostat is a Z-Wave radio standard compatible energy-saving radiator thermostat for Europe.

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. Remove batteries.
2. Press and hold the boost button.
3. While still holding the boost button insert batteries.
4. The LCD shows RES. Release boost button.
5. To perform the factory reset press the boost button.

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 levels or different brands.

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
1. Insert the batteries
2. Press the Boost-Button once.

Exclusion
1. Press and hold the boost button of the Radiator Thermostat for at least 5 seconds.

Inserting batteries
Remove the battery cover by simply pulling it off. Now insert the batteries. Pay attention to the correct polarity! Ata later battery change, the configuration of your Aeotec Radiator Thermostat is maintained.

Setpoint adjustment
The setpoint is adjusted via the plus and minus buttons.
Altering the setpoint locally will set the theAeotec Radiator Thermostat in heating mode.
The energy-saving setpoint can only be adjusted via Z-Wave.
The configurable setpoint range is 8°C to 28°C.
If the setpoint is increased/decreased above/below the set point limits the Aeotec Radiator Thermostat will change into boost / off mode.

Child protection
Press and hold the plus and minus buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enable/disable the child protection. If the Aeotec Radiator Thermostat is set into the highest protection level it is no longer possible to operate the device locally.
Altering the operating states

Window open detection will end automatically after 15 minutes and the previously active operating mode will be restored. Window open detection can also be canceled by a button press. The window open detection is disabled during the manufacturer-specific mode. The sensitivity of the windows open detection can be configured

DisplayNodeID
Press and hold the boost button for 3 seconds to display the NodeID.

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 it. 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. Don’t 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 200it 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.
