Once the value is selected, press Select Mode button to confirm setting or press Linking button to cancel.

To clear the trigger-OFF record, press both Min. and Max. button at the same time. The record is cleared after a long beep is sounded.

If the temperature reaches the preset trigger-OFF value, Temp./Humid. Detector will send a Z-Wave signal. The screen of detector returns to MODE 1 and the icon is flashing with backlight illumination and siganl tone sounds for 1 second. Press any key to stop the siganl tone.

Note:

The temperature trigger-ON and trigger-OFF cannot be set equal; there MUST be at least 2°C difference in between. For example, if now the trigger-OFF temperature is already set to be 20°C, so trigger-ON temperature can only be lower 18°C or higher 22°C (values between 18°C and 22°C cannot be set).

Once the detector has been triggered, the temperature must increase or cool down at least 2°C from the preset value before it can be triggered again. For example, if the detector is triggered on at 20°C, then the temperature must be higher 22°C or lower 18°C before it can be re-triggered.

2. Humidity

2.1 Display of Current Humidity

Press Select Mode button and select MODE 2 to display current humidity.

The humidity ranges from 20% RH to 90% RH. To show the last record of max/min humidity, press Min. or Max. button. To clear the record, press both Min. and Max. button at the same time.

Threshold Limit Warning:

If the humidity is reaching the limit, the icon of MAX or MIN will be displayed on the screen.

2.2 Humidity Trigger-ON

Press Select Mode button and select MODE 5 to enter setting of humidity trigger-ON. The "ON" icon flashes and the screen shows the recorded trigger-ON humidity. If no value is preset, the screen will display "- - -%".

To adjust trigger-ON value, press Select Mode button and hold for 5 seconds until a long beep is sounded. The "- - -" starts flashing. Use Min. and Max. button to adjust the percentage of humidity, and hold Min. or Max. button to scan through the humidity reading from 20%RH to 90%RH. Once the value is selected, press Select Mode button to confirm setting or press Linking button to cancel.

To clear the trigger-ON record, press both Min. and Max. button at the same time. The record is cleared after a long beep is sounded.

If the humidity reaches the preset trigger-ON value, Temp./Humid. Detector will send a Z-Wave signal. The screen of detector returns to MODE 2 and the "ON" icon is flashing with backlight illuminate and signal tone sounds for 1 second. Press any key to stop the signal tone.

2.3 Humidity Trigger-OFF

Press Select Mode button and select MODE 6 to enter setting of humidity trigger-OFF. The "OFF" icon flashes and the screen shows the recorded trigger-OFF humidity. If no value is preset, the screen will read "- - -%".

To adjust trigger-OFF value, press and hold Select Mode button for 5 seconds until a long beep is sounded. The "- - -" starts flashing. Use Min. or Max. button to scan through the humidity reading from 20%RH to 90%RH. Once the value is selected, press Select Mode button to confirm setting or press Linking button to cancel.

To clear the trigger-OFF record, press both Min. and Max. button at the same time. The record is cleared after a long beep is sounded.

If the humidity reaches the preset trigger-OFF value, Temp./Humid. Detector will send a Z-Wave signal. The screen of detector returns to MODE 2 and the "OFF" icon is flashing with backlight illuminates and signal tone sounds for 1 second. Press any key to stop the signal tone.

Note:

The humidity of trigger-ON and trigger-OFF cannot be set equal; there MUST be at least 5% difference in between. For example, if now the trigger-ON humidity is already set to be 50%, so trigger-OFF humidity can only be lower 45% or higher 55%. (Values between 45% and 55% cannot be set.)

Once the detector has been triggered, the humidity must raise up or drop down at least 5% from the preset value before it can be triggered again. For example, if the detector has been triggered on at 50%, then the temperature must be higher 55% or lower 45% before it can be re-triggered.

3. Z-Wave Function

This function is designed to enable or disable the sending Z-Wave commands to the associated nodes, as Temp./Humid. Detector triggered on/off.

Press Select Mode button and select MODE 7, the icon for Radio Frequenzy Status should flash. Press Max. button to turn On (enable) the function or Min. to turn OFF (disable) the function.

3.1 Programming Z-Wave

Z-Wave"s Groups (Association Command Class Version 2)

The Temp./Humid. Detector can be set to send reports to or control associated Z-Wave devices. It supports two association groups with one node support for Grouping 1 and three nodes support for Grouping 2.

Grouping 1 includes POWER_APPLIED, SENSOR_MULTILEVEL _REPORT, ALARM_REPORT and BATTERY_REPORT_COMMAND. Grouping 2 includes BASIC_SET.

Grouping 1

POWER_APPLIED command

Whenever power is applied, it will send ALARM_REPORT command to the nodes of Grouping 1 to inform the devices that the detector is powered up.

MULTILEVEL_SENSOR_REPORT

The detector will emit SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_REPORT to inform the nodes of Grouping 1 automatically its current temperature and humidity. Refer to the section of Z-Wave"s Configuration for settings of auto report configuration.

Low Battery Report

When the battery level of the detector drops to an unacceptable level, the Low Battery icon will appear on the LCD and the detector will emit ALARM_REPORT command to the nodes of Grouping 1.

Grouping 2 (Max. Node = 3)

When the detector is triggered, it will emit BASIC_SET_COMMAND to the nodes of Grouping 2.

Please refer to the table below for the setting of basic set command.

Note:

If the Z-Wave mode is OFF, no command will be sent even the Temp./Humid. Detector has been triggered. If Z-Wave mode is ON and the detector has been triggered, the device will send commands to nodes of Grouping 2.

If the Z-Wave mode reading is 00, it implies no node ID has been allocated by Z-Wave Controller. Please execute inclusion mode as described in the manual.

4. Beep Tone

To set the beep tone, press Select Mode button and select MODE 8. The Beep Tone icon flashes. Press Max. for ON and Min. for OFF. If it is ON, a beep tone will be sounded whenever a button is pressed; 4 continuous beep tones will be sounded for 1 second if the detector has been triggered.
