Powering modes

External supply mode
In external supply mode, the device indicates commands status and can receive indications from the Z-Wave controller (using Indicator CC), including Identification.
Device configuration is updated immediately.

To enable the external supply mode, make sure that the external supply is connected and powered, then add the device to the Z-Wave network (remove beforehand if already added).

Battery mode
In battery mode, the device indicates commands status, but cannot receive indications from the Z-Wave controller (using Indicator CC), except for Identification.

The device needs to be woken up to change its configuration. The battery level (in percent) is measured during every power up and periodically every 24h, the measured value is reported to the controller during every power up and when it changes by at least 5%.

To enable the battery mode, make sure that device is powered only using the battery, then add the device to the Z-Wave network (remove beforehand if already added).

Temperature sensor

The device is equipped with a built-in temperature sensor. It measures the ambient temperature every 5 minutes, and reports it to the controller only when it changes by at least 0.5°C.

Waking up

When on battery power, the device needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the Z-Wave controller, like parameters and associations. By default the device is woken up automatically every 6 hours.
You can wake up the device manually using white menu position.

Visual indications

The built-in LED light shows current device status.

After powering the device:

• Green – device added to a Z-Wave network (non-secure, S0, S2 non-authenticated),
• Magenta – device added to a Z-Wave network (Security S2 Authenticated),
• Red – device not added to a Z-Wave network.

Update:

• Blinking cyan – update in progress,
• Green – update successful,
• Red – update not successful.

Command status:
The device displays current command status in response to clicking/ holding the button.

• Green for 2 seconds – command acknowledged,
• Yellow for 2 seconds – command during routing,
• Green for 2 seconds – command not acknowledged.

When holding the button, the device will periodically brighten (when increasing the level) or dimm (when decreasing the level) the LED ring with white colour, then only after realising will indicate command status.

Identification:
The Z-Wave controller can identify this device by blinking red with whole LED ring (using Indicator CC).

Custom indications:
In external supply mode, the user can use the LED ring to display custom indications. Using the Z-Wave controller user can specify on which half of the ring to indicate, number of blinks and timing (using Indicator CC). Brightness and colour of the indications is specified in parameters 13, 150 and 151.

Resetting to factory defaults

Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted.

Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing described.

1. Quickly, three times click, then press and hold one of the buttons for 21 seconds.
2. Release the button when the device glows yellow.
3. Quickly click the button to confirm.

Configuration

Associations

Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network.
Associations allow:

• Reporting the device status to the Z-Wave controller (using Lifeline group),
• creating simple automations by controlling other devices without participation of the main controller (using groups assigned to actions on the device).

The device provides the association of 7 groups:

1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “On/Off (1)” is used to turn the associated devices on/off.
3rd association group – “Dimmer (1)” is used to change level of associated devices.
4th association group – “On/Off (2)” is used to turn the associated devices on/off.
5th association group – “Dimmer (2)” is used to change level of associated devices.
6th association group – “Multidevice” is used to control different type of devices.
7th association group – “Slats” is used to move slats of venetian blinds.

The device allows to control 5 regular or multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception of “LifeLine” that is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned

Commands sent to association groups in Double Button Mode (parameter 20 set to 1)

Commands sent to association groups in 3-position Single Button Mode (parameter 20 set to 2)

Commands sent to association groups in Switch Controller Mode (parameter 20 set to 3)
