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.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.
Product Description
DC-23ZW is multi-functional, with a built-in extension terminal which allows it to be added to an existing wired sensor or to double as an universal transmitter.Compatible with any Z-Wave mesh networks and devices, the DC-23ZW is ideal for security and home automation applications. Its elegant, and modish design and no hassle installation allows it to easily fit seamlessly into any home decor.DC-23ZW Series alerts the system control unit to any irregular activities and sends low battery signals as well as regular supervision signals to check system integrity.
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 and hold the Function Button of the Door Contact for 10 seconds to factory reset (only use factory reset when network Control Panel/Gateway is missing or inoperable).
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
1. Pull out the battery insulator; this will connect the battery to power on the Door Contact.2. Put the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel into Inclusion mode (Please refer to the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel manual).3. Press the Function button 3 times within 1.5 seconds.4. Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wave Gateway or Control Panel to complete adding process.5. If the Door Contact has already been added (included) into another Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, or if the Door Contact is unable to be added into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, please exclude it first (see Removing Device) before attempting to include it into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel.Exclusion
1. Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Exclusion mode (please refer to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual).2. Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times and the Door Contact will be removed from the Z-Wave network.Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: The Wake Up Command Class allows the battery-powered Door Contact to notify the Control Panel/Gateway that it is awake and ready to receive any queued commands. The wake up interval time period is programmed automatically according to Control Panels setting when The Door Contact is included. The recommended setting of the interval time is between 30 to 60 minutes.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- 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 | 1 | Group 1 for LifeLine:Notification CC,V4 (COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION)Battery CC (COMMAND_CLASS_BATTERY)Device Reset Locally CCLow Battery Report1. When low battery voltage is detected, the Door Contact will transmit Battery command to all nodes in Group 1.2. When the Door Contact on low battery has its battery replaced, it will transmit Battery restore command to all nodes in Group 1Factory Reset1. When the Door Contact is reset to factory default, it will send Device Reset Locally to all nodes in Group 1. |
| 2 | 5 | Group 2 for Basic Set: Basic CC, v2 (COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC)It will transmit Door Report command FF when open and 00 when close. |
| 3 | 5 | Group 3 for Notification Report: Notification CC,V4 (COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION)Trigger Report (Intrusion detected)1. When the Door Contact is open or external device is triggered, it will transmit Notification command (Notification Type:0x06, Event 0x16) to all nodes in Group1 and 3. Restore Report (door/window closing/external device restoring)2. When the door/window is closing or external device restoring, it will transmit Notification command (Notification Type: 0x06, Event 0x17) to all nodes in Group1 and 3. |
| 4 | 5 | Group 4 for Tamper Report:Tamper Triggered Report1. When the Tamper is removed and triggered, it will transmit Notification command (Notification Type:0x07, Event:0x03) to all nodes in Group 1 and 3.2. When the Tamper is restored, it will transmit Notification command (Notification Type:0x07, Event 0x00 with one parameter 0x03) to all nodes in Group 1 and 3. |
