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.

Product Description
This valves controller PAB04 is a security enabled wireless switch, based on Z-Wave Plus technology. Z-Wave Plus TM enabled devices displaying the Z-Wave Plus TM logo can also be used with it regardless of the manufacturer, and can also be used in other manufacturers Z-Wave TM enabled networks. Remote On/Off control of the connected valve is possible with other manufacturers wireless Controller. Each switch is designed to act as a repeater. Repeaters will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots. Because PAB04 supports Security Command Class, it can learn with Secured controller. Its functionality and supported command classes is identical when included as a secure and non-secure device. Connect PAB04 with an external water meter which can output pulse signals. PAB04 is able to detect instance water flow and the accumulated water.
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.
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.
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 | 5 | The Switch can be set to send reports to associated Z-Wave devices. It supports one association group with 5 nodes support for Grouping 1. For group 1, Lifeline, the Switch will report its latest status to Z-Wave Controller. Grouping 1 Lifeline supports SWITCH_BINARY_REPORTMETER_REPORTSENSOR_MULTILEVEL_REPORT and RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION. |
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: Unit of Accumulated Water Flow
If the setting is configured for accumulated cubic meters (set value =2), PAB04 will report its accumulated water flow every 1 hour to Group1 nodes. The default setting value is KL. Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 2
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 : US Gallon |
| 2 | 2. KL |
Parameter 2: Threshold of Accumulated Water Flow
When the accumulated water is over the threshold of accumulated water flow, PAB04 will send meter report of its Accumulated water flow (KL or US gallon) to Group1 nodes. For example : If the threshold of accumulated water flow is set as 1KL. PAB04 will send meter report whenever it detects the accumulated water flow crossing over 1KL2KL3KLetc. Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 1
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 : Disable accumulated meter report |
| 1 - 255 | 1~255 : 1~255 US Gallon or KL |
Parameter 3: Differential of Instant Water Flow
When the variation of instant water flow is over the differential, PAB04 will send Multilevel Sensor report (Liter/h) to group1 nodes. In order to avoid too frequent report, it will not report when the instant water flow vary lower than the configured percentage of one liter. Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 10
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 : Disable instant water flow Report |
| 1 - 100 | 1~100 : 1% ~ 100% |
Parameter 4: Pulse count per liter
The calculation of accumulated water flow and instant water flow is based on this value of the attached meter. Check the specification of the water meter, you can find Pulse Frequency.For example : 7.5Q, Q is flow rate in L/min. Then the pulse count per liter will be 450, this value is count from 7.5 (L/min) multiply 60 seconds. Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 450
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 - 32767 | 450 Pulse/L |
Parameter 5: Relay Control mode
If the relay control mode is set as 0 (NC), it will turn on the valve by closing the relay contact. If the relay control mode is set as 1 (NO), it will turn on the valve by opening the relay contact. Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 : NC |
| 1 | 1 : NO |
Parameter 6: Periodic Auto Report Timer
The auto report timer define how long will PAB04 report the meter report of accumulated water flow. At the same time it also sand the Multilevel Sensor report of instant water flow and Switch Binary Report of the state of the connected valve. Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 60
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0Disable Periodic Auto Report |
| 1 - 1440 | 1~1440 1min ~ 1440 min |
