Operating instructions (4)
Adding (Inclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to add the device to existing Z-Wave network. Adding manually: To add the device to the Z-Wave network manually: 1. Power the device. 2. Set the main controller in (Security/non-Security Mode) add mode (see the controller’s manual). 3. Quickly, three times click the service button. 4. If you are adding in Security S2 Authenticated, input the underlined part of the DSK (label on the box). 5. LED will start blinking yellow, wait for the adding process to end. 6. Adding result will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and the LED: • Green – successful (non-secure, S0, S2 Unauthenticated), • Magenta – successful (Security S2 Authenticated), • Red – not successful. Adding using Smart Start: To add the device to the Z-Wave network using SmartStart: 1. To use SmartStart your controller needs to support Security S2(see the controller’s manual). 2. Enter the full DSK string code to your controller. If your controller is capable of QR scanning, scan the QR code placed on the label on the box. 3. Power the device. 4. Wait for the adding process to start (up to few minutes), which is signalled with yellow LED blinking. 5. Adding result will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and the LED: • Green – successful (non-secure, S0, S2 Unauthenticated), • Magenta – successful (Security S2 Authenticated), • Red – not successful.
Removing (Exclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to remove the device from existing Z-Wave network. Removing also results in resetting the device to factory defaults. To remove the device from the Z-Wave network: 1. Power the device. 2. Set the main controller into remove mode (see the controller’s manual). 3. Quickly, three times click the service button. 4. LED will start blinking yellow, wait for the removing process to end. 5. Successful removing will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and red LED colour.
Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted. Resetting to factory defaults does not reset energy consumption memory. 1. Press and hold the service button to enter the menu. 2. Release service button when the device glows yellow. 3. Quickly click the service button to confirm. 4. After few seconds the device will be restarted, which is signalled with the red colour. Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing described.
If you are adding in Security S2 Authenticated, input the underlined part of the DSK (label on the box).
