Device features

1.3. Operating principle

The device was developed for use in alarm and home automation systems that use the Z-Wave wireless standard. The device has the following functions:

Motion detector
It uses Passive Infrared (PIR) technology to detect movement in a defined area by detecting the changes in thermal radiation caused by the moving body inside or outside the detection zone. When the motion detector is triggered, an alarm signal is sent to the Z-Wave controller and, after receiving the signal, the Z-Wave controller performs a specific action according to its settings. When motion is detected, the indicator LED lights up. The sensitivity & characteristics of the PIR sensor can be adjusted via the parameter settings so that the sensor hides pets up to approx. 38kg so that your pet can move freely without triggering the sensor.
*Integrated illuminance sensor with separate day/night report**
The device automatically sends the measured brightness value and the day/night report to the Z-Wave controller or on request of the Z-Wave controller at periodic intervals.
In addition, the brightness and day/night report is sent with each motion detection (default setting). You can adjust the lux threshold of the day/night report via parameter.

*A photoconductive sensor is used to measure the illuminance (LUX). As this sensor can have up to 25% error tolerance on measured values, we recommend using the light values only to distinguish between day and night.

Tamper protection between the device and wall bracket
When the housing is opened, the sabotage switch is triggered and the device sends a sabotage alarm to the Z-Wave controller.

1.5. Use in systems of different manufacturers

This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

1.6. DSK code

The DSK code (Device-Specific Key) is the device-specific key of your device and is required for secure inclusion (teach-in) via S2 on the Z-Wave controller. The first 5 digits of the DSK code can be found on the QR Code on the back of the product. Please enter them in the inclusion process when prompted. Alternatively, you can transfer the entire DSK code that you find on the enclosed DSK card to the Z-Wave controller via QR Code Scan. Please keep the DSK card in a safe place!

Hint:

We recommend the secure S2 inclusion (must be supported by the Z-Wave controller) Please enter the 5 digits of the DSK code (bottom of the device) or the entire DSK code (QR code) when prompted.

2. Functional overview

2.1. Inclusion / teach-in device

2.2. Planning, assembly and installation

The device uses low-power radio signals to communicate with the Z-Wave controller. For best results, please note the following:

Please do not attach directly to metal planes or metal constructions, as this may limit the range.
The device has a radio range of up to 40 m indoors.
The battery life of the device is reduced if the wireless connection to the Z-Wave controller is not direct but via a repeater.

Test mode

Press the tamper switch 3 times in 1.5 seconds to activate the test mode. The LED lights up for 2 seconds to confirm. The test mode switches off automatically after 10 minutes.
In test mode

the preset waiting time is ignored and set to 5 seconds.
each motion alarm is acknowledged after 5 seconds, but to send a new motion alarm, the motion detector must not have detected any motion for 5 seconds.

Use the test mode to select the optimal installation location.

Select installation location

The detector is only suitable for indoor installation.
When selecting a position for the detector, the following points should be observed:

Do not install the detector opposite a window or where it is exposed to direct sunlight. PIR detectors are not suitable for use in conservatories due to the high temperature fluctuations.
Do not install the detector where it is exposed to fans or air conditioning.
Do not install the detector near a heat source (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc.).
Do not mount the detector in a position where it is subject to excessive vibration.

Assembly instructions:

The detector is designed for mounting on a flat wall or in a corner.

If possible, mount the detector in the corner of the room so that the path of a person passes through the detection zone. PIR detectors respond more effectively to movement through the detection zone than to movement towards the sensor.

diagram

Mount the PIR detector at a height of 1.9m -2.3m At this height the detection range of the detector is optimised, i.e. 8m range and 80° angle of detection

PIR detector

Use the bracket as a template to mark the position of two drill holes on the wall. There are two markings each for wall and corner mounting.

Fix the bracket to the wall using the supplied plugs and screws.
Do not overtighten the screws to avoid damaging the bracket.

bracket

Place the base on the bracket.

2.3. Exclusion / teach out device

Activate the exclusion mode (learn mode) on the Z-Wave controller. (for more details, please refer to the Z-Wave controller’s user manual)

Press the “-” button (Remove / Exclusion) in your Z-Wave app and follow the instructions to set the Z-Wave controller to Exclusion mode.

Press the Link button 3 times quickly (within 1.5 seconds) to start the exclusion on the device. The LED starts flashing red for up to 60 seconds

Press the Link button

Successful exclusion is displayed in the app or on the Z-Wave controller and the status LED on the device lights up red for 2 seconds.

2.4. Resetting to factory settings

Press and hold the Link button for at least 5 seconds. Release the button when the red LED stops blinking and lights up continuously. The device is now reset to factory settings.

Hint:
Please use this procedure only if the primary network controller is missing or otherwise not functional.
If the device is set to factory default, the status is set to “not included” and the association settings and possible configurations are reset to default.

2.5. Wake-up / Waking up the device

Wake-up

2.6. Behaviour PIR sensor

Warm up phase
It takes about 1 minute for the PIR sensor to warm up after the battery is inserted and for the unit to signal motion alarms.

Hint:

This has no effect on the inclusion/exclusion process.
After removing the batteries, wait 5 seconds before inserting them again.

PIR waiting time
As soon as motion is detected, the device’s LED lights up and it sends a motion alarm to the Z-Wave controller. The device now waits for a preset time (waiting time) until it acknowledges the motion alarm to the Z-Wave controller.

Each new movement during the waiting period resets the time span. Only when the waiting time has elapsed without motion detection will the detector acknowledge the motion alarm and thus be able to send a motion alarm when a new motion is detected.

The standard waiting period is 1 minute. Changes have a significant effect on the expected battery life.
PET immunity
You can activate the PET immunity of the motion detector by setting parameters. With activated immunity, animals up to approx. 38kg are ignored.

Depending on the size of the object, the speed of movement and the installation location, it is possible in exceptional cases that when the function is activated, animals trigger an false alarm or people do not trigger an alarm. We therefore recommend that you only activate the function, if it is really necessary and monitor the area with additional sensors (e.g. Magnetic contacts).

3. Advanced Z-Wave Parameters

3.1. Association Groups

Z-Wave devices can control other devices directly. This direct control is called association in Z-Wave. The device ID of the device to be controlled must be stored in the controlling devices. This is done in so-called association groups. An association group is always linked to an event in the controlling device (keystroke or triggering of a sensor). When this event occurs, a control command – usually a BASIC SET – is sent to all devices stored in an association group.

The device supports two association groups

Group 1: (Association Z-Wave Controller)

The Lifeline Association is automatically established between the Z-Wave controller and the device during inclusion and defines what information is exchanged between the Z-Wave controller and the device.
Group 2 (direct association to terminals)
When the motion alarm is triggered, it sends a BASIC SET On / Off command to the nodes of group 2

3.2. WakeUp Time

The time between the WakeUp Notification Commands can be set in the Wakeup Command Class within the following values:

WakeUp Time

3.3. Reports

Notification report

Battery report

Sensor Multilevel Report

3.4. Configuration parameters

Z-Wave products can be used directly after inclusion in the network. However, configuration settings can be used to adapt the behaviour of the device even better to the requirements of the application and to activate additional functions.

Use your Z-Wave controller to initiate the changes to the parameters. In order for the device to receive the values, a wake-up must be performed on the device itself. (see point 2.5)
