The device will fit into Water Meters from Sensus (http://sensusesaap.com/). To confirm inclusion and exclusion put a magnet on the flat side of the sensor for 3 seconds until the red LED is blinking. To send out a NIF or to wake up the device follow the same process.
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.

SWM 301 is a battery-powered RF module using Z-Wave® technology for reporting water metering from SENSUS water meter (http://sensusesaap.com/). The RF module records the meter reading by backlash-free pick-up on the litre wheel of the meter register and transmits the data over the Z-Wave network either on a time or delta change. Choose the position where the unit is to be mounted, avoid locations alongside or behind large metal surfaces that could interfere with the low-power radio signals between the unit and the Controller. The unit contains a lithium battery which provide a 10 years battery life based on a 24hr reporting interval.
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.
The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used. Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.
Just snap in the sensor in to the position beside the meter digit display. The device will fit into Water Meters from Sensus (http://sensusesaap.com/). It may also be applicable to other manufacturers meters but this is not supported by the manufacturer.
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.
To confirm inclusion and exclusion put a magnet on the flat side of the sensor for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks.
To confirm inclusion and exclusion put a magnet on the flat side of the sensor for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks.
The meter readings are transmitted by wireless and can be read by any Z-Wave controller.
The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action:
Put a magnet on the flat side of the sensor for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks. Water meter will then send NIF after 15 seconds.
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:
To wake up the device put a magnet on the flat side of the sensor for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks.
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
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.
Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | 2 | Nodes to receive unsolicited water meter reading |
2 | 2 | Nodes to receive unsolicited low battery warning report |
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.
