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.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

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.

To complete the reset process manually, press and hold the Action Button for at least 20s. The LED indicator will quickly flash white light 3 times and then become breathing white light, which indicates the reset operation is successful.

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.

Installation

Install Mounting plate in the location of your choice.

 

1. Affix Siren 6 Wall Mount Plate in any desired location near an outlet.
a. Use 3x 20mm screws or double-sided tape.


b. Lock the Siren 6 into place where the mount is installed

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. Install the device according to the instructions.
2. Press the button on the back once.

Exclusion

1. Press the button on the back of the device 6 times quickly.

Product Usage

How to pair Button

There are two way to trigger pairing Button:

- Manually quick click Siren Action Button. Can be done both in and out of the network. 
- With Configuration Set. Can only be done in the network. Refer to Configuration Parameter 49/50/51 for details.


Below is mainly about manually quick click Siren Action Button to trigger pairing Button. 

1. Different click times will trigger different Pairing Button Mode. Please action as shown below.

- Click Action Button 3 times quickly will trigger Pairing #1 Button Mode. 
- Click Action Button 4 times quickly will trigger Pairing #2 Button Mode. 
- Click Action Button 5 times quickly will trigger Pairing #3 Button Mode.

2. Observe Siren Indicator Light to make sure which Button is waiting for pairing.
- When Pairing #1 Button Mode is triggered, Siren Indicator Light will bright 1 time ON 0.5s OFF 1s, and then become constantly bright white light, indicating that Pairing #1 Button Mode has  already triggered. Pairing time is up to 10 seconds. In this time period, user MUST manually click Ring Button 3 times quickly. Otherwise it cannot be paired successfully. 
- When Pairing #2 Button Mode is triggered, Siren Indicator Light will bright 2 times ON 0.5s OFF 1s, and then become constantly bright white light, indicating that Pairing #2 Button Mode has already triggered. Pairing time is up to 10 seconds. In this time period, user MUST manually click Ring Button 3 times quickly. Otherwise it cannot be paired successfully.
- When Pairing #3 Button Mode is triggered, Siren Indicator Light will bright 3 times ON 0.5s OFF 1s, and then become constantly bright white light, indicating that Pairing #3 Button Mode has already triggered. Pairing time is up to 10 seconds. In this time period, user MUST manually click Ring Button 3 times quickly. Otherwise it cannot be paired successfully.


3. Determine pairing results.

- If pairing Button succeeds, Siren Indicator Light will quickly flash white light 3 times and play the corresponding tone of paired Button, and then become breathing white light (when Siren is out of the Z-Wave network) or off (when Siren is in the Z-Wave network)
- If pairing Button fairs, Chime Indicator Light will slowly flash white light 3 times and then become breathing white light (when Siren is out of the Z-Wave network) or off (when Siren is in the Z-Wave network).


Note

- Only one Button can be paired at one time. 
- Each successful pairing will overwrite the previous paired Button which has the same Button Number. 
- This manually quick click Action Button operation can only be used to trigger pairing, not unpairing. 
- If you want to exit Pairing Button Mode, what you need to do is that click the Action Button once.
 
How to unpair Button 

There is only one way to trigger unpairing Button:
- With Configuration Set. Can only be done in the network. Refer to Configuration Parameter 48 for details. 

Test Siren 6 sound manually.

 

You will be able to manually test your Siren6 unpaired or paired to a Z-Wave network, to determine if its sound is working, perform the button action listed below:

 

Safety: Test only when wearing necessary ear protection. Siren 6’s speaker emits tones up to 105dB that can cause hearing damage. 

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 Lifeline group.
2 5 When Endpoint 1 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.
3 5 When Endpoint 2 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.
4 5 When Endpoint 3 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.
5 5 When Endpoint 4 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.
6 5 When Endpoint 5 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.
7 5 When Endpoint 6 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.
8 5 When Endpoint 7 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.
9 5 When Endpoint 8 starts playing tone or stops playing tone, Nodes associated are controlled and will receive a Basic Set CC.

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.
