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.

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 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

Location:

Device is suggested to be installed indoor, a place with around 1.5m height above the floor where represents the average CO2 concentration. It should be away from direct sunlight, any cover, or any heat source, to avoid false signal for temperature control.

CAUTION: Cut off power supply at circuit breaker or fuse before installation to avoid fire, shock or death!

    1. Device must be wall-mounted vertically. Do not lay it flat or upside down while working.
    2. Do not mounted it in a wind gap, or cover its bottom, which may affect the detected data.

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

Including and Excluding of Z-Wave network

Activate Inclusion/Exclusion mode in the gateway. When device is powered on, long press K2 can enter interface for inclusion or exclusion of Z-Wave network. If device has not been included into any Z-Wave network before, - - - will display on the screen. Then press K2 once, - - - flashing and device enters into learning mode to get a node ID. If inclusion is success, a node ID will display on the screen. If not, - - - will stop flashing in 20 sec. If a node ID displays, it means the device is already in a Z-Wave network. To press K2 once can remove it from the network. - - - displays and press K1 once can return to normal work.

Exclusion

Including and Excluding of Z-Wave network

Activate Inclusion/Exclusion mode in the gateway. When device is powered on, long press K2 can enter interface for inclusion or exclusion of Z-Wave network. If device has not been included into any Z-Wave network before, - - - will display on the screen. Then press K2 once, - - - flashing and device enters into learning mode to get a node ID. If inclusion is success, a node ID will display on the screen. If not, - - - will stop flashing in 20 sec. If a node ID displays, it means the device is already in a Z-Wave network.

Specification

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 Notification
2 1 Lifeline

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: CO2 threshold value


Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 1000

Setting Description
1 - 2000 Value in PPM
