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

This device measures the three air quality parameters temperature, humidity and dew point and reports them to a central controller. Besides this, the device can directly control groups of other Z-Wave devices on over- and undershooting a set temperature and/or humidity parameter. This can be used to establish control loops for temperature and humidity. The device wakes up every 15 minutes to measure the values and it will send unsolicited reports when values change. Additionally, the device will report all

values on request. The AërQ Sensor is actively monitoring the danger of mould in a room based on the temperature and humidity and will issue alarm warnings when critical air conditions met. Wireless Alarm and red and a green blinking LED will indicate a mould condition. This local LED warning function is also available when the device is not included in any Z-Wave network and works stand alone.

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.

Keep the button pressed for 10 seconds. Then the green LED will start blinking. Release the button, when the LED stops blinking. Your device is reset to factory default now.

Safety Warning for Batteries

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.

Installation

Just place the device on any flat surface. Please keep in mind that the temperature may be different in different locations inside the room. If placed too close to the heating both temperature, humidity and dew point values may be wrong. The device is IP 20 rated. This means that is must not be exposed to direct water (rain). It is safe to use the device in a humid environment such as a bathroom or dedicated washing facility.

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. Insert the battery.

2. Press the button quickly three times in a row.

Exclusion

1. Press the button quickly three times in a row.

Product Usage

Once the device is powered up it will start monitoring the air parameters and warn of mould using the local red and green LED. Pushing the button will force an immediate measurement and the LEDs will indicate the danger of mould.

– green: no danger of mould in the room

– red: danger of mould, open the windows to lower the humidity

The device contains two sensors with the following accuracy measures:

– Relative Humidity: precision ± 3% RH (max), range 0 to 80% RH

– Temperature: precision ±0.8 °C (max), range -10 to 65 °C

– Dew Point: precision ±0.8 °C (max), range -10 to 65 °C (calculated from other sensor values)

The device sends the following notifications to the central controller:

– Weather Alarm – Moisture Alarm (0x10 – 0x02)

– Power management – Replace battery now (0x08 – 0x0b)

– Heat Alarm – Overheat Unknown Location (0x04 – 0x02)

– Heat Alarm – Underheat Unknown Location (0x04 – 0x06)

For getting the status of the device on the network you need insert a battery to device. And you see result:

– “The GREEN LED will blink one time in case of success or RED LED will blink five times in case of failure”.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
Dont poll FLIRS devices.
Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Firmware-Update over the Air

This device is capable of receiving a new firmware ‘over the air’. The update function
needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the update
process, perform the following action to confirm the firmware update:

Wake Up the device by pressing the central button once.

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 NumberMaximum NodesDescription

1	5	Lifeline
2	5	Temperature High Trigger
3	5	Temperature Low Trigger
4	5	Humidity High Trigger
5	5	Humidity Low Trigger
6	5	Air Temperature

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 200â€ˆit 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.
