Illumination Sensor with LCD 

 
The Illumination Sensor with LCD (refer to as Illumination Sensor hereafter) is a 
Z-Wave

TM

 enabled device which is fully compatible with any Z-Wave

TM

 enabled 

network.  Z-Wave

TM

 enabled devices displaying the Z-Wave

TM

 logo can also be 

used with it regardless of the manufacturer, and ours can also be used in other 
manufacturer’s Z-Wave

TM

 enabled networks.  Inclusion of this sensor on other 

manufacturer’s Wireless Controller menu allows remote operation of connected 
modules when the sensor is triggered.    Z-Wave node in the system also acts as a 
repeater, so as to re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by 
its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead 
spots.  
 
The Illumination Sensor is designed to monitor the current illumination of ambient 
environment. The reading of illumination can be reported to you on a regular base 
at your disposal.    If illumination reaches set points, the sensor will send alerts to 
associated devices for further execution (such as trigger on connected lightings). 
The Illumination Sensor is suitable for use in darkness and outdoor.

One of function key (

ESC/

) is used to carry out inclusion, exclusion, association 

and reset.  When the sensor is first powered up, the reading in RF mode is 00 
which implies that it hasn’t been allocated a node ID and cannot work with Z-Wave 
enabled devices.    The Illumination Sensor will stay “awake” for 10 minutes when 
power is first applied to allow time for configuration.  Please get familiar with the 
terms below before starting the operations. 

 

Function

 

Description

 

Inclusion 

 

Add a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. Illumination Sensor) to Z-Wave 
network.

 

Exclusion 

 

Delete a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. Illumination Sensor) from the 
network.

 

Association 

After inclusion, you have to define the relationship between devices. 
Trough association, device can be assigned as master/slave, and specify 
which slave is going to be controlled by which master.

 

Reset

 

Restore Illumination Sensor to factory default.

 

 
The table below lists an operation summary of basic Z-Wave functions.    Please 
refer to the instructions for your Z-Wave

TM

 Certificated Primary Controller to access 

the setup function, and to include/exclude/associate devices.
