process is called Inclusion. Devices can also leave a network. This process is called
Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network.
This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Please refer to your
primary controller’s manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion or exclusion mode.
Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or exclusion mode, this device can join or leave
the network. Leaving the network – i.e. being excluded – sets the device back to factory
default.
Operating the Device
The siren can be turned on and off using wireless commands. To protect this communication
from misuse is strongly recommended to operate the siren in secure communication mode.
The secure communication is activated on default during inclusion unless explicitly
suppressed. When activated the siren will generate a 105 dB alarm sound and a flash light.
This behavior can be configured as well using configuration parameter 5. Make sure to
deactivate the tamper protection before removing an included siren from the mounting plate.
Back to Factory Default
To reset the device keep the inclusion button pushed for 10 seconds. After 5 seconds the
LED starts flashing and after another 5 seconds there is a short beep signaling the
successful reset back to factory defaults. Use this procedure only when the network primary
controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains
information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion
of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be
needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame.
Every click on the inclusion button (ill. 2 (B)) issues a Node Information Frame.
Associations
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the
controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands.
These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events
(e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the
respective association group will receive a common wireless command.

Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain
configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced
features.
