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.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.
Product Description
The Aeon Labs Panic Button is a one button remote control, which is specifically designed for emergency situations. This Panic Button will work as a remote control within your Z-Wave network, allowing it to both control associated devices and act as a tool for adding/ removing devices to/ from your Z-Wave network. You can also use this onebutton remote control for non-emergency situations, e.g. to communicate with a Z-Wave device for turning on/ off or dimming the lighting or switching a device (garage doors).
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.
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 level or different brands.
Installation
Remove the back cover of the Panic Button and set in the battery. Please check for the correct polarisation. Set the back cover back in.
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
There are two possibilities to use the Panic Button.
As secondary controller in an existing network
- 1. Inclusion into an existing network: In this case the Panic Button will act as a secondary controller in the network. Set the primary controller of your network into inclusion mode. If you are unsure how to do that please refer to it"s user manual. Press the "Learn" button on the back of the Panic Button once with the enclosed Pin. The LED on the front will start flashing. Once the inclusion is finished the LED will stay solid for two seconds.
- 2. Exclusion from an existing network: Set the primary controller of your network into exclusion mode. If you are unsure how to do that please refer to it"s user manual. Press the "Learn" button on the back of the Panic Button once with the enclosed Pin. The LED on the front will start flashing. Once the exclusion is finished the LED will stay solid for two seconds.
As primary controller of a new network
- 1. Creating a new network: The Panic Button can act as primary controller of it"s own network. To add devices to it"s network press the "Include/Exclude" button on the back of the Panic Button with the enclosed Pin. The LED on the front will start flashing slowly. Now press the Z-Wave button of the device you want to add. Once the device was added to the Panic Button"s network the LED will stay solid green for two seconds. Repeat this process for every device you want to add. Once you have included all devices press any button on the Panic Button to exit the inclusion.
- 2. Exclude devices from the network: Press and hold the action button on the front. The LED will start flashing rapidly as soon as it is ready to exclude devices. Press the Z-Wave button of the device you want to remove. The LED will stop flashing and stay solid red for two seconds. Release the action button on the front. The Panic Button has now stopped communicating with the device. Repeat this process until you have removed all the devices you want.
To reset the Panic Button into the factory default state press and hold both the "Include/Exclude" and "Learn" button with the enclosed Pin for at least 10 seconds. The LED will start flashing green and then stay solid green for two seconds. If the reset failed the LED will stay solid red for two seconds. In this case please repeat the process.

Product Usage
The Panic Button can act either as primary controller of it"s own network or as secondary controller of an existing network.
Usage in an existing network:- The Panic Button can include device into the existing network. In this case it will hand all the received data to the primary controller. Please refer to the inclusion section of this manual for information regarding the inclusion. In addition the primary controller can define scenes. Scenes can define a trigger and actions that should be performed once the trigger is activated. You can set up an emergency scene that has the Panic Button as trigger and performs the wished changes once the Panic Button is pressed. Please refer to the controller"s manual for information about how to define scenes.
- Please read in the inclusion section how to include devices into the Panic Button"s network. Press and hold the action button of the Panic Button. The LED will start to flash. Now press the Z-Wave button on the device you want to associate. The LED on the Panic Button will stay solid for 2 seconds to indicate a successful communication. Now change the device to the status it should change to when the Panic Button is activated. For example turn a button on if it should be turned on when the Panic Button is activated. Release the action button of the Panic Button. In case the LED does not show the described behaviour please repeat the process and make sure the devices are within 3 meters of one another. Repeat this for every device you want to associate.
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 | 5 |
