Quickstart

This is a secure Siren for CEPT (Europe). Please make sure the internal battery is fully charged. To add this device to your network execute the following action:
ADDING THE SIRENThis product can be added and operate in any compatible Z-Wave network. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters, regardless of vendor, to increase reliability of the network.Adding steps: Turn on the battery power switch to activatethe pre-inserted batteries. The Siren will emit a 2-tone beep. Put the Z-Wave controller into adding orLearning mode (please refer to the Z-Wavecontroller manual). Within 1.5 seconds, press the Siren learn button3 times. Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wavecontroller to complete the learn-in process. If the Siren has already been added (learnt) intoanother Z-Wave controller, or if the Siren is unableto be learnt into the current Z-Wave controller,please remove it first (see Removing the siren below)before attempting to add it into the currentZ-Wave controller.

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

SR-BX-ZW is a Z-Wave External Siren that can connect to compatible Z-Wave enabled networks. It is capable of sounding an alarm upon receiving an alarm signal from the controller in the Z-Wave network when an alarm is activated. When triggered, the Siren will sound and the LED strobe will flash to attract attention.

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.

Factory Reset (Only use this when the existing Z-Wave controller is missing or inoperable). Turn off battery power switch and disconnect 9V power adaptor (if present). Press and hold the learn button. While holding the learn button, power on the Siren (power switch ON and reconnect the 9V power adaptor). Keep holding for 10 seconds to complete the factory reset. Please note that the existing Z-Wave controller will still retain the Sirens Z-Wave setting. Please refer to the Z-Wave controller manual on remove procedures. Only use this when the existing Z-Wave controller is missing or inoperable. The Siren is now ready to be added to a new Z-Wave controller.

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

ADDING THE SIRENThis product can be added and operate in any compatible Z-Wave network. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters, regardless of vendor, to increase reliability of the network.Adding steps: Turn on the battery power switch to activatethe pre-inserted batteries. The Siren will emit a 2-tone beep. Put the Z-Wave controller into adding orLearning mode (please refer to the Z-Wavecontroller manual). Within 1.5 seconds, press the Siren learn button3 times. Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wavecontroller to complete the learn-in process. If the Siren has already been added (learnt) intoanother Z-Wave controller, or if the Siren is unableto be learnt into the current Z-Wave controller,please remove it first (see Removing the siren below)before attempting to add it into the currentZ-Wave controller.

Exclusion

REMOVING THE SIRENThe Siren must be removed from any existing Z-Wave network before being added into a new Z-Wave network. There are two methods available to remove a device.Removing Mode Put the existing Z-Wave controller into Removing Mode (please refer to the Z-Wave controller manual). Within 1.5 seconds, press the learn button 3 times and the Siren will be removed from the existing Z-Wave network. The Siren is now ready to be added to a new Z-Wave controller.

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 Z-Wave Plus Lifeline
2 5 Tamper Alarm Report
3 5 Power Adaptor(AC) Failure Report
