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 WO15EMZ5-1 Wall Mounted Outlet is a Tamper resistant grounded duplex receptacle that meets the 2008 NEC requirement and is easily wired in place of a standard wall outlet. A shutter mechanism inside the receptacle blocks access to the contacts unless a 2 prong plug is inserted. This Wall Mounted Outlet integrates with other Nortek Z-Wave enabled products, and also acts as a wireless repeater. This device supports Energy Monitoring.With Over The Air upgrading supported, this device can be seamlessly updated to the most recent firmware and software features.Finally, as a Z-Wave plus product, its 30% longer range is ideal for easily creating a strong Z-Wave mesh network for an easier installation and more reliable operation.

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.

In the event that your primary Controller is lost or otherwise inoperable, to reset theWO15EMZ5-1 and clear all network information, follow these steps:1. Tap the button on the face of the outlet fi ve (5) times.2. Press and hold the button for 15 seconds. The LED will increasingly blink faster to indicate that a Reset is taking place.3. LED will turn off when reset is complete.

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

Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the command of the Wireless Controller.1. With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the button on the face of the outlet. The LED will blink slowly when in ADD Mode.2. You should see an indication on your Controller that the device was added to the network and the LED will stop blinking.3. The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.

Exclusion

The WO15EMZ5-1 can be removed from the network by the controller/Gateway. Refer to the Controller operating instructions for details.1. Set the Controller into Removal Mode and follow its instruction to delete theWO15EMZ5-1 from the Controller.2. Remove the switch by tapping the button on the face of the outlet 2 times. The LED will begin blinking slowly for 10 seconds indicating that it has been removed.3. You should see an indication on your Controller that the device was removed from the network.

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 5 Z-Wave Plus Lifeline

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 13: Energy Monitoring

Configure Energy Monitoring reporting duration.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 6

Setting Description
0 Automatic reporting OFF
1 - 255 Number of minutes between automatic reporting

Parameter 3: Night Light
