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.

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

Product Description

The Smart Plug 16A controls on/off function for the connected device. It also measures power consumption of the connected device according to the principle of fast sampling of voltage and current signals. A built-in microprocessor calculates energy and power from the measured signals.
The Qubino Smart Plug 16A also acts as a Z-Wave repeater to improve the range and stability of the Z-Wave network.

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.

Press service button S 5 times within 3 seconds ? reset the module to factory default and clear NIF+ send device reset locally

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

Press the Service button S 3 times within 3 seconds

Exclusion

Press the Service button S 3 times within 3 seconds

Auto-Inclusion

Beside the standard inclusion this devices supports the so called auto inclusion. Right after powering up the device remains in inclusion state and can be included by (any) gateway without further actions on the device itself. The auto inclusion mode will time out after some time.

Product Usage


S
Service button (used to add or remove the Smart Plug 16A from the Z-Wave network and for turning the internal relay ON/OFF)

LED
When the Smart Plug 16A is excluded:
When the relay is turned OFF:
? blue LED is blinking (1 sec ON, 1 sec OFF)
When the relay is turned ON:
? blue LED is ON
? red LED is blinking (0.3 sec ON, 0.3 sec OFF) when the current exceeds 14,4A
? red LED is ON after the overload occurred
When the Smart Plug 16A is included:
When the relay is turned OFF:
? LED is OFF
When the relay is turned ON:
? blue LED is ON
? red LED is blinking (0.3 sec ON, 0.3 sec OFF) when the current exceeds 14,4A
? red LED is ON after the overload occurred

 
MEASUREMENTS:

V = Voltage
A = Current
W = Power ? Active
kWh = Energy ? Active power accumulated

Overcurrent protection
When load is for 5 sec over 16.1A, relay is automatically turned off and ?Overcurrent detected? notification is sent.
To reactivate the device, it has to be pulled out of the power socket and put in again.

Overcurrent warning
When load is near overcurrent state (over 14.4 A), Unsolicited Meter Report is sent and the red LED starts blinking. When the current returns below 14.4 A, the blue LED starts blinking automatically.

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 This group is assigned to Plug status ? On/Off. Allows for sending control command BASIC_SET 0x00/0xFF to associated devices whenever the Plug is turned On or Off.
3 5 This group allows for sending control commands BASIC_SET 0x00/0xFF to associate devices depending on the current load. This association group is configured through the advanced parameters no. 50, 51 and 52
4 5 This group is equivalent to the association group no. 2. The difference is, that this group sends commands Secure Encapsulated.
5 5 This group is equivalent to the association group no. 3. The difference is, that this group sends commands Secure Encapsulated.

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.

  • Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
  • Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.
  • Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.
  • Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and a controlled device.
  • Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announces that is able to communicate.
  • Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
