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
The wireless plug socket PSC234ZW allows you to remotely control electrical appliances. It features a metering function to measure the power consumption and the accumulated energy usage of connected equipment. The built-in metering unit is of high quality: it calculates the true-power and also works for small loads from 1W upwards. This feature is important to have a correct measurement value also for electronic loads like led lamps.The PSC234ZW has a built-in safety features that will switch-off the output in case of too high temperature or overload.Additionally the PSC234 has a feature to switch the load on at zero voltage and switch the load off at zero current. This leads to a very high number of possible switching cycles also for difficult loads like led-lamps or motors, e.g. pumps.
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.
Please use this procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable:The device can be put into factory default state manually by the following procedure:1) hold the touch-button until the led shows red light2) release the touch-button and hold the touch-button again until the led starts to flash greenThe PSC234 confirms the successful completion of the factory reset procedure by steady red flashing.
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
When a PSC234 that is not associated to a Z-Wave Network, is inserted into the mains outlet, it will flash once red followed by 2 green flashed followed by steady red flashing. The PSC234 can now be added to (=inclusion) or removed from (=exclusion) a Z-Wave network:1) start inclusion/exclusion on the primary controller2) hold the touch button until the ledshows green light3) release the touch buttonThe PSC234 will confirm successful addition to the network by 5 green flashes.The PSC234 will confirm successful removal/exclusion by steady red flashing. At the time of exclusion the device is factory reset.Exclusion

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 | Z-Wave Lifeline Events/Notifications:(1)Sends COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC, BASIC_REPORT after every change of the output state (on/off). (2)Sends COMMAND_CLASS_METER_V2, METER_REPORT_V2 after every change of the measured energy or power value or after a timeout if the values stay unchanged. during If the energy or power value didnt change for a certain time.Min. time between 2 reports if the energy or power value changes: 1sTimeout for sending a report if the value stays unchanged: 15min.Min. change in value to trigger a report:4% power (mind. 2W) oder 1Wh energy |
| 2 | 5 | Events/Notifications:Sends COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC, BASIC_REPORT every time the state of the output changed through the use of the touch button. |
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 31: LocalControlDisable
If LocalControlOn is set (factory default state) the PSC234s output can be switched manually by the touch-button. If LocalControlOff is set the PSC234s output can only be switched through Z-wave telegrams. Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0
| Setting | Description |

| 0 | LocalControlOn |
| 1 | LocalControlOff |
