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 Z-Wave doorbell consists of a wireless doorbell and a bell button which acts as a controller and transmitter. By pushing the bell button it starts to light up and sends a radio signal to the doorbell, which also lights up and plays one of five eligible ringing tones. In addition to these five stored ringing tones it is possible to record own tones as a Wav file.

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

  1. Open the battery cover with a flat screwdriver and correctly put the 3 x AA battery inside the battery compartment.
  2. For wall mounting use the fixing template provided to mark the position of two fixing holes on the wall. Drill two holes at the marked locations, insert the supplied plastic wall plugs and then fit two screws into the wall plugs until almost fully home. Hang the rear cover over these screws using the two keyhole slots.
  3. Fix the Door Bell to the rear cover.

 

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

Triple click the (I)(E)(R)-key inside the casing of the Door Bell withinin 1,5s to confirm Inclusion or Exclusion.

Exclusion

Triple click the (I)(E)(R)-key inside the casing of the Door Bell withinin 1,5s to confirm Inclusion or Exclusion.

Product Usage

To sound the Bell, you can press the Button of Push Button. The Red LED of Push Button is on steadily while the signal is sending. You can also press the Music Selector of the Door Bell to sound the Bell.

WAV is the only file type that can be played by Door Bell. To download songs to Door Bell, please execute Door Bell.exe. Before you install the program, make sure your computer meets or exceeds these requirements:

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:

Triple click the (I)(E)(R)-key inside the casing of the Door Bell withinin 1,5s to send an 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:
