All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. -Insert the two 1.5V D-Cell alkaline batteries into the battery compartment connecting the correct polarity as shown on thebattery compartment lid.The Bellbox will emit a 2-tone beep. -Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Inclusion mode (please refer to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual). -Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times. -Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel to complete the adding process. -If the sensor has already been added (included) into another Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, or if the sensor is unable to be added into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, please exclude it first (see Removing Device) before attempting to include it into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel.
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 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.
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.

Its tamper-deterrent feature protects against unauthorized removal and sabotage. The BX-35ZW is compatible with others Z-Wave systems.
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 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 to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
(Only use factory reset when network Control Panel/Gateway is missing or inoperable). -Press and hold the Function button of the Bellbox for 10 seconds to factory reset with all LED flashes once.
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
This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufactures and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. -Insert the two 1.5V D-Cell alkaline batteries into the battery compartment connecting the correct polarity as shown on thebattery compartment lid.The Bellbox will emit a 2-tone beep. -Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Inclusion mode (please refer to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual). -Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times. -Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel to complete the adding process. -If the sensor has already been added (included) into another Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, or if the sensor is unable to be added into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, please exclude it first (see Removing Device) before attempting to include it into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel.Exclusion
The Bellbox must be removed from existing Z-Wave network before being included into another. There are two methods available to exclude a device. -Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Exclusion mode (please refer to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual). -Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times and the Bellbox will be removed from the Z-Wave network.Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
Association - one device controls an other 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 wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.
Association Groups:
| Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Group 1 for LifeLine (maximum node:1):Battery CC (COMMAND_CLASS_BATTERY)Notification CC,V4 (COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION)SwitchBinary CC, V1 (COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY)Device Reset Locally CC |
| 2 | 5 | Group 2 for Tamp rep (maximum node: 5):Notification CC,V4 (COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION)When Tamper Open, Group 2 send Notification(Type:07,Event:03), Tamper Close send Notification(Type:07,Event:00,Parameter:03) |
| 3 | 5 | Group 3 for AC rep (maximum node: 5):Notification CC,V4 (COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION)When AC Fail send Notification (Type:08,Event:02),When AC Restore send Notification (Type:08, Event:03) |
Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration 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 case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
