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.

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.

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

Product Description

The AN1586 is a pluggable switch that controls electrical loads connected to mains power using standard Plug Typ E (France, Poland, ...) wall outlets. It can switch all electrical loads up to 3500 W and additionally measure the electrical power taken by this load (in Wh) and meters the electrical energy consumed (in kWh). The device is IP 20 rated and can only be used in dry environments. The device is operated either wirelessly using Z-Wave or with a button on the device. A red LED indicates the switching status.

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.

Tripple Click the button (same as for inclusion/exlusion) plus pushing the button again within 1 sec and hold it down for 5 sec.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Installation

The device can be plugged into every standard Schuko outlet (plug type E). Do not locate the Module facing direct sunlight, humid or dusty place. The suitable ambient temperature for the module is 0°C ~ 40°C.

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

Inclusion and Exclusion are confirmed by a tripple click of the button of the device.

Exclusion

Inclusion and Exclusion are confirmed by a tripple click of the button of the device.

Product Usage

Plug this module into a wall outlet near the load to be controlled. Plug the load into the module and switch the load to the ON position. To turn ON the module and the load plugged into it, press and release the ON/OFF button of the module.

The device is able to switch and measure any electric load up to 3500 W. Any load above 3000 W is considered as overloading. When overloading is detected the device will turn off the load, lock the local button and indicate the status by flashing the LED for 30 sec. Unplugging and replugging the module will reset the module to normal state. The electrical load can be switched using wireless commands and operating the local button. The LED inside the local button will indicate the switching status.

To access the metered and measure electric values a gateway with appropriate visualization is required.

Node Information Frame

The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action: Hit the button

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. 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. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. 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
2 4 Pressing button to switch other devices
1 1 Send Alarm, Switch Report and Meter Report

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.

Parameter 1: True Period

This is the time the switching status needs to remain unchanged after a change to cause the device to send out a status message
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0a

Setting Description
00 Disable
01 - 78 10 * 100 ms = 1 sec

Parameter 2: Send Out Basic Command

Enable or Disable the status message function when the local button press changes the switching state
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 00

Setting Description
00 Disable
01 Enable

Parameter 3: Meter Report Period

The device will report its meter value within the interval set. Set to 0 will disable the autoreporting function.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0003

Setting Description
0000 Disabled
0001 - 0ca8 Interval = Wert * 10 sec

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

  • Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network. Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.
  • Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network. Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.
  • Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
  • Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.
  • Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.
  • Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and a controlled device.
  • Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announces that is able to communicate.
  • Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
