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 SD-8ZW is a Z-Wave smoke detector with a built-in siren to sound audible alerts when alarms occur. The SD-8ZW triggers alarms by using latest optical chamber technology to detect harmful smoke particles enter its detection chamber.

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.

(Only use factory reset when network Control Panel/Gateway is missing or inoperable).-Press and hold the Test Button of the Smoke Detector for 8 seconds to factory reset.

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

This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufactures and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.-Insert the 3 AA batteries into the battery compartment connecting the correct polarity as shown on the battery compartment lid. The Smoke Detector will emit a 2-tone beep.-The LED will start flashing and begin a 6-minute warming period.-Put the Z-wave gateway or control panel into Inclusion or Learning mode (please refer to the Z-wave gateway or control panel manual).-Within 1.5 seconds, press the Test Button 3 times. The Smoke Detector will emit a 2-tone beep and the LED will turn on for ~2 seconds.-Refer to the operation manual of the Z-wave gateway or control panel to complete the learn-in process.-If the sensor has already been included (learnt) into another Z-wave Gateway/Control Panel, or if the sensor is unable to be learnt into the current Z-wave Gateway/Control Panel, please exclude it first (see Exclusion) before attempting to include it into the current Z-wave Gateway/Control Panel.-When the 6-minute warming period is over, the Smoke Detector will emit one short beep to indicate that the Smoke Detector is starting calibration process. The process will be repeated every 100 seconds and notified by a short beep respectively. The Smoke Detector will emit a 2-tone beep and the LED will turn off to indicate calibration is completed.-Normal calibration process lasts 2 - 16 minutes.-If the Smoke Detector emits continuous beeps after 16 minutes, the calibration has failed. Remove the batteries to silence the continuous beeps.-Restart the calibration process by re-inserting the batteries.

Exclusion

The Smoke Detector must be removed from existing Z-wave network before being included into another. There are two methods available to exclude a device.Exclusion Mode-Put the Z-wave gateway or control panel into Exclusion mode (please refer to the Z-wave gateway or control panel manual).-Within 1.5 seconds, press the Test Button 3 times and the Smoke Detector will be removed from the Z-wave network.

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.

This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: This function uses the Z-Wave Wake Up Command Class. The Wake Up Command Class allows the battery-powered Heat Detector to notify the Control Panel/Gateway that it is awake and ready to receive any queued commands. The wake up interval time period is programmed automatically according to Control Panels setting when The Heat Detector is included. The recommended setting of the interval time is between 30 to 60 minutes.

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
3 5 Group 1 for LifeLine:Notification CC,V4 (COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION)Battery CC (COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC)Device Reset Locally CCGroup 2 for Basic Set:Basic CC, v2 (COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC)Group 3 for Notification Report:Notification CC,V4 (COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION)
