Quickstart

This is a Z-Wave Device for Europe. To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.

Tripple click the link button to include or exclude the device. Alternativly use auto-inclusion to include by powering up the device. Clicking the link button will wake up the device and keep it awake.



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.

Product Description

The Everspring remote module insert HAC01 is a Z-Wave repeater, which is able to act as remote control by sending the correspond signal to the associated devices like Z-Wave switch modules or Z-Wave dimmer modules. Additionally you can connect it to wired traditional sensors and convert them into wireless Z-Wave sensors.
The HAC01 is placed in a wall box right behind the conventional switch. 

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.

Press the link button three times within 1.5 seconds. Within 1 second, press link button again and hold it until LED is off. Home ID and node ID will be cleared and reset to factory default.

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 Relay Insert can be installed into the in-wall power box, the power cord have to be connected to the main AC power, the manual switch input cable is wired to normal NO (open) / NC (close) button or switch. When the wiring connection is completed, please follow the instruction to operate the Inclusion and Association process to finish HAC01"s connection and network setting with controlled device.

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

Make sure that your Z-Wave Controller is in the Inclusion-/Exclusion-Mode. Click the link button fast three times to confirm the process. Alternativly use auto-inclusion to include by powering up the device. Auto inclusion lasts for 4 minute or until the execution of inclusion is completed.

Exclusion

Make sure that your Z-Wave Controller is in the Inclusion-/Exclusion-Mode. Click the link button fast three times to confirm the process. Alternativly use auto-inclusion to include by powering up the device. Auto inclusion lasts for 4 minute or until the execution of inclusion is completed.

Product Usage

By using the connected 2 wire manual switch the module will send the correspond signal to the associated Z-Wave devices (ON/OFF or dimmer module).

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:

Tripple click on the link button sends a Node Information Frame.

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
1 5 by switch input (changing status) sends Basic Set Command to the nodes in Grouping 1

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: Basic Set Level


Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 63

Setting Description
00 Off
01 - 63 On (binary switch device); dim level (multilevel switch device)

Parameter 2: Amount of delay

determine the delay time setting to send the Basic Set Off command when manual switch opens
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 01

Setting Description
00 immediately Off
01 - 7f delay 1 ~ 127 second to Off

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.
