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
FAKRO AMZ Z-Wave Electric awning blind is an appropriate combination of effective protection from heat and comfort of use. Due to the fact that the awning blind absorbs solar radiation before it reaches the glazing and emits the heat to the outside of the room, it constitutes much better protectction from tiresome heat in the sunny days than internal accessories. At the same time, it allows the ingress of natural light and ensures visual contact with the environment. FAKROAMZ Z-Wave electrically is controlled by remote control or by wall switch in wireless system Z-Wave. In an emergency, the awning blind can be controlled by service button located on the awning blind. The awning blind is powered by 15VDC. Motor nominal current is 1.4A. The AMZ Z-Wave awning blind has three extremes: - Maximum extension (encoder maximum position)- Completely rolled up (encoder minimum position)- Current limiting protecting awning blind against damage and user against accidental injury resulting from the contact with moving elements of awning blind.There are three association groups in awning blindFAKRO AMZ Z-Wave:- Life Linegroup for position reporting awning blind after each a stoppage and alarm reporting (overcurrent, damage encoders). This group can be a maximum 1 device.- Basic Repeatgroup used to transfer the received basic commands to the devices included in this group. This group can be a maximum 5 devices. - Multilevel Repeatgroup used to transfer the received multilevel commands to the devices included in this group. This group can be a maximum 5 devices.Technical Parameters: Power voltage: 15V DCRated current: 1,4 ACurrent limit: YESSpeed: 13 r.p.mTemperature of usage: (-10oC) do (65oC)Supplying cable: 2 x 0,75 mm2
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.
Device Reset LocallyThis function allows you to reset the Z-Wave network without the use of Z-Wave controller. Press 5 times the programming button P fast, the awning blind was removed from the Z-Wave network, restore the default parameters, name and locations.Parameter Reset LocallyPress fast 3 times P button on the Awning Blind. Function removes information about parameters.Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
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.
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
Include - This function allow you to add awning blind to the network Z-Wave. Follow the procedur adding device to the network Z-Wave according to user manual supplied with the product. Then, press the programming button P on the awning blind for 1 second.Autoinclusion - This feature allow you to add hard to reach devices to Z-Wave network. 3-times ON and OFF the power awning blind (OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON) causes the introduction of awning blind to Autoinclusion mode. Please note that the procedure has been started the time between on and off can not exceed 20s. Autoinclusion mode is activated for a maximum of 10 minutes. During this time, we can add an awning to any Z-Wave controller running in the Include procedure.Exclusion
Exclude - This function allow you to remove awning blind from the network Z-Wave. Follow the procedur removing device from the network Z-Wave according to user manual supplied with the product. Then, press the programming button P on the awning blind for 1 second. Function removes information only about newtork Z-Wave.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 | Life Linegroup for position reporting awning blind after each a stoppage and alarm reporting (overcurrent, damage encoders) |
| 2 | 5 | Basic Repeatgroup used to transfer the received basic commands to the devices included in this group. |
| 3 | 5 | Multilevel Repeatgroup used to transfer the received multilevel commands to the devices included in this group. |
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 12: Remote Calibration
This parameter is used to the remotly calibration of AMZ Z-Wave via gateway or remote control with a display, e.g. FAKRO ZRS24Value 1calibratedValue 2discalibratedto enter the calibration mode must first time discalibrate and then calibrate Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1
