4.1 Associating adaptive module to the Z-Wave network (LEARN MODE function)
Associating the adaptive module (controller) results in its being categorized as SECONDARY. Associating
the module with the network consists in sending data to it from PRIMARY controller. The procedure of associating the
module with the network is presented in Figure 3. 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 results from failure to receive any reply from the device which can be caused by:
•
failure to enter LEARN MODE in the ZWMA module by pressing the “In/Ex” button three times until
the PRIMARY controller is signalling its readiness for adding a new device to the network:
•
long distance between the controller and ZWMA module;
•
the module is associated with another network and it is necessary to carry out the DEFAULT procedure
first.

.Press “
In/Ex
” button once on the
PRIMARY controller, e.g.
ZWK15 keyboard.

. Press “
In/Ex
” button three times in
ZWMA module which is to be added
to the network.

. After few seconds, the module is signaling that associating with the
network is complete (LEDs on as presented in the drawing for app. 2-3 sec.).

Note!!!
To control the devices form the controller “Secondary”, perform the ASSOCIATE function (see section 3.2)
Note!!!
In the newer version of a controller, 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 disconnecting the power
supply.
