Some installations may require a different external antenna.
NOTE: Any external antenna must be compatible with the Z-
Wave frequency (U.S. 908.42 MHz) and the 50
Ω
impedance of the RP-SMA coax connector on the
NPB-ZWAVE option card.
LEDS
Four (4) LEDs are on the top of the option card—you must
remove the controller cover to see them. See Figure 1.
Two LEDs indicate serial communications activity (“RX”, “TX”)
to/from the controller. The other two LEDs are controlled by
the option card’s PLD (Programmable Logic Device), where
functionality is programmable.
COM PORT USAGE
The NPB-ZWAVE option card has an onboard UART and so
adds
one
COM port on the installed JACE controller. The
hosted station automatically resolves the option’s COM
address.
• If a WEB/CP-201/600 controller and installing in option Slot
1, or if the
only
option card, it is seen as COM3.
• If a controller and installing in option Slot 1, or if the
only
option card, it is seen as COM5.
If installed in Slot 1 of a controller along with
another
option
card that uses COM ports in option Slot 2, note that COM
assignments for that other card are affected.
For example, if a NPB-ZWAVE card is in Slot 1 of WEB/CP-
201/600 and a NPB-2X-RS485 option card is in Slot 2, the two
NPB-2X-RS485 option ports are COM4 and COM5. The same
option card mix in a controller would yield Slot 2 NPB-2X-RS485
option ports of COM6 and COM7.
The NPB-ZWAVE installed in the only (single) option slot of a
T-202/602-XPR series controller is seen as COM7.

OPTIONS AND PARTS
The following options or replacement parts may be ordered for
the NPB-ZWAVE option card:
APPROVALS
FCC:
The Panasonic module used on the NPB-ZWAVE option
card is FCC approved, and has an FCC ID of T7VPAN8550.
The module also complies to EN300220 for ETSI (European
FCC) approval.

Option/Part
Description
H-CBL-SED-EXT 6.56 ft (2m) RP-SMA-type coax
extension cable, and mounting bracket.
See “Antenna Extension Option”.
Required if installing the option card in a
WEB/CP-202/602-XPR model.
H11686
NPB-ZWAVE replacement RP-SMA
coax-mounted antenna (915
a
MHz)
a
Antennas have a 30 MHz bandwidth, and the specified
center frequency does not have to align exactly with the
Z-Wave module’s frequency. Thus, the 915 MHz antenna
(H11686) is compatible with the U.S. option card’s 908.42
MHz frequency.
