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.

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. Power the device.
2. Identify the PROG button or the S1/S2 switches.
3. Set the main controller in (Security/non-Security Mode) add mode (see the controller’s manual).
4. Quickly, click PROG button three times. Optionally, click S1 or S2 three times.
5. If you are adding in Security S2 Authenticated, input the PIN Code (label on the device, also underlined part of the DSK on the label on the bottom of the box).
6. Wait for the LED indicator to blink yellow.
7. Successful adding will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and the device’s LED indicator:
• Green – successful (non-secure, S0, S2 non-authenticated),
• Magenta – successful (Security S2 Authenticated),
• Red – not successful

Exclusion

1. Make sure the device is powered.
2. Identify the PROG button or the S1/S2 switches.
3. Set the main controller in remove mode (see the controller’s manual).
4. Quickly, click PROG button three times. Optionally, click S1 or S2 three times within 10 minutes of powering up the device.
5. Wait for the removing process to end.
6. Successful removing will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and the device’s LED indicator - Red.
7. Removing the device from the Z-Wave network doesn’t cause factory reset.

Product Usage

Calibration

Calibration is a process during which a device learns the position of the limit switches and a motor characteristic.
Calibration is mandatory in order for the device to correctly recognize a roller blind position.
The procedure consists of an automatic, full movement between the limit switches (up, down, and up again).

Automatic calibration using the menu:
1. Press and hold PROG button to enter the menu.
2. Release button when the device glows blue.
3. Quickly click the button to confirm.
4. The device will perform the calibration process, completing full cycle – up, down and up again. During the calibration the LED blinks blue.
5. If the calibration is successful, the LED indicator will glow green, if the calibration is failed, the LED indicator will glow red.
6. Test whether the positioning works correctly.

Automatic calibration using the parameter
1. Set parameter 150 to 3.
2. The device will perform the calibration process, completing full
cycle – up, down and up again. During the calibration the LED
blinks blue.
3. If the calibration is successful, the LED indicator will glow green,
if the calibration is failed, the LED indicator will glow red.
4. Test whether the positioning works correctly.

Manual positioning of slats in venetian blinds mode
1. Set parameter 151 to 1 (90°) or 2 (180°), depending on the rotation capability of the slats.
2. By default, time of transition between extreme positions is set to 15 (1.5 seconds) in parameter 152.
3. Turn slats between extreme positions using up or down switch:
• If after full cycle a blind starts moving up or down - decrease value of parameter 152,
• If after full cycle the slats does not reach end positions - increase value of parameter 152,
4. Repeat previous step until satisfactory positioning is achieved.
5. Test whether the positioning works correctly. Correctly configured slats should not force the blinds to move up or down.

Operating
The device allows for connecting switch to the S1 and S2 terminals.
These may be monostable or bistable switches.
Switch buttons are responsible for managing the blind’s movement.

Description:
 UP – Switch connected to the S1 terminal
 DOWN – Switch connected to the S2 terminal

General tips:
• You can perform/stop movement or change direction using switch/es
• If you set flowerpot protection option the down movement action will perform only to defined level
• If you control only a venetian blind position (not slats rotation) the slats will back to their previous position (in aperture level 0-95%).

Favorite position
Your device has a built-in mechanism for setting favorite positions. You can activate it by double-clicking on the monostable switch(es) connected to the device or from the mobile interface (mobile app).

Favorite roller blind position

You can define the favorite position of the blinds. It can be set in parameter 159. The default value is set to 50%.
Favorite slats position
You can define the favorite position of the slats angle. It can be set in parameter 160. The default value is set to 50%.

Pot protection

Your device has a built-in mechanism to protect, for example, flowers on the windowsill. This is the so-called virtual limit switch. 
You can set its value in parameter 158. The default value is 0 - this means that the roller blind will move between the maximum end positions.

LED indicators

The built-in LED shows the current status of the device. When the device is powered: Green: Device added to Z-Wave network (non-secure, S0, S2 not Authenticated)
Megenta: Device added to Z-Wave network (Security S2 Authenticated)
Red: Device not added to the Z-Wave network
Blinking Cyan: Update in progress


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 1 Lifeline
2 5 Window Covering

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.
