3.3. Associating another controller with the network (LEARN MODE)
Associating further controllers with the network makes them being categorized as “SECONDARY”.
Associating a controller with the Z-Wave network consists in sending data to it from the PRIMARY controller. The
procedure of controller associating is presented in
Figure 4 . In order to assure the best possible communication within
the network and after each its modification (including or removing a device):
•
associating another controller with the network should be performed after associating all devices with the first
controller (“PRIMARY”),
•
or performing LEARN MODE again on the “SECONDARY” controller already associated with the network.
*) Programming error can be caused by:
•
failure to enter LEARN MODE on the controller being associated with the network within 10 seconds from
primary controller signaling its readiness for adding a new device to the network;
•
long distance between the primary controller and controller being added;
•
controller already belonging to another network. It is necessary to perform DEFAULT procedure with it and
repeat associating with the network.

3 . The controller is signalling assigning
with the network (buttons light up for
10 sec. as presented in the drawing).
1 . Press “ In/Ex ” button once
on the PRIMARY controller
(see 3.1)
2 . Press “ In/Ex ” button on the controller
(LEARN MODE) which is to be added
to the network three times within 1.5 sec.
4 . After few seconds, the controller is signalizing that associating with the
network has been successfully completed (buttons light up for 2-3 sec. as
presented in the drawing).
5* . Programming error –
buttons flashing for 2-3 sec.
as presented in the drawing.

Note!!!
To control the devices form the controller “Secondary”, perform the ASSOCIATE function (see section 3.2)
Note!!!
In the newer controller version, interrupting any procedure is possible by pressing the “IN/EX” button. In the
older version, it is necessary to wait 10 seconds until the error is signalled by the controller or reset it by removing the
batteries.
