HOME  AUTOMATION

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Schwaiger ZHS03 pro-

duct. Below you will find useful operating guidelines.

Product description 

Not only can both Z-Wave devices be controlled directly with the Z-Wave.Me wireless wall switch, but 

in an IP gateway different scenes can be activated. Although the wireless wall switch controls devices 

directly, it cannot as Z-Wave controller manage their networks but always requires an additional con-

troller for inclusion and exclusion.  The device can operate in different modes, which are determined 

by configuration parameters: 

1. 

Control groups of other Z-Wave devices with „ON“, „OFF“ and dimming commands.

2. 

Control of devices in the vicinity of the fob with „ALL ON“ or „ALL OFF“ - commands. 

3. 

Activation of pre-defined scenes in gateways or other Z-Wave devices.

Installation guidelines

The device is delivered in working condition with a built-in battery. In this default condition simply 

pressing on one of the buttons - since the device is not included in a network and therefore unable 

to send a message - will result in an error code (flashing red LED). In this manner the operational 

readiness of the device can be tested.

The device distinguishes between two operating modes: standard and 

management mode
Standard mode: 

In this mode, the wireless wall switch can control other devices or activate scenes.

Management mode:

The device is switched to management mode when all four buttons are held down together for at least 

5 seconds.  A slow flashing green LED confirms the management mode. In management mode the 

buttons have other functions.  Without further button operation, the unit will return to standard mode 

in 10 seconds. Each operation also ends the management mode. 

In management mode the following actions can be performed:

Button 1

Network-wide inclusion:  the device can be added to a Z-Wave network from anywhere in the network. 

This requires a primary controller that supports explorer frames. This mode lasts 20 seconds and stops 

automatically. Touching any key also stops the mode.

Button 2

Sends node information frame and wake-up messages (as outlined in the following chapters).

Button 3

Standard inclusion/exclusion mode:  the device is directed by a controller of direct wireless range.  

Touching any button stops the mode. An exclusion of the device from a network resets the device to 

its factory defaults. 

Button 4

Set associations:  to assign target devices to one of the 4 association groups

Batteries

This device is battery-operated.  Use only batteries of the specified type.

Used batteries contain hazardous substances and must not be disposed of with household waste!  

Battery type: 1 x CR2032

Performance of the device in the Z-Wave network 

When delivered the device is not connected to a Z-Wave network. It must be integrated into a Z-Wave 

network so that it can communicate with other Z-Wave devices. This process is called Z-Wave inclu-

sion. Devices can also be removed from networks again. This process is called Z-Wave exclusion. 

Both processes are started from a controller that must be connected to an inclusion and/or exclusion 

mode.  The manual of the controller contains information on how it is to be connected in these modes. 

Devices can only be added when the controller of the Z-Wave network is in inclusion mode. Leaving 

the network through exclusion will reset this device to its factory defaults. 

Bring your Z-Wave controller in the inclusion mode. Bring your wireless wall switch in management 

mode and press button 3. The device is included and/or excluded locally by pressing key 3 in man-

agement mode. In order to include and/or exclude the device network-wide button 1 in management 

mode must be pressed.

Operation of the device

Depending on the mode and further configuration the device can be set differently.

Standard mode:

Controlling a group with 2 buttons (This is the default setting). One group (no. 1) of the equipment 

is controlled with buttons 1 and 3; the other group (no. 2) is controlled with buttons 2 and 4. Buttons 1 

and 2 switch the actuators „ON,“ buttons 3 and 4 switch the actuators „OFF.“ If  double-click the setting 

parameters #1 or #2 is activated,  groups 3 and 4 can be controlled by means of short double clicking.

Dimming of devices is enabled  through pressing the buttons for a long time (high-dimming with 

buttons 1 and 2, low-dimming with buttons  3 and 4) and/or a short click and pressing  for groups 

with a double click.

A single click controls groups 1 and 3

A double click controls groups 2 and 4

The device can be mounted on every level and dry sur-

face, either with screws or double-sided tape. First the 

base plate is secured to the wall. In the next step, the 

switching element is secured to the frame. The electron-

ics module is used to fix the frame to the base plate, 

as shown in the figure. Finally, the rocker switches are 

mounted on the electronics module.

For a battery change the rocker switches must be re-

moved. The CR battery can be replaced by pressing the 

small locking tab above the battery. 

Logging in (inclusion) or logging out 

(exclusion) of the sensor.

The device operates in normal control mode or in man-

agement mode. Pushing all four buttons for 5 sec. will 

turn the device into management mode (indicated by 

blinking green LED). The management mode will time 

out after 10 seconds if no further button is pushed. 

Button 1 confirms standard inclusion or exclusion 

started by a primary controller, button 2 issues a Node 

Information Frame or wakeup notification, button 4 is 

used to add devices into association groups and button 

1 confirms inclusion or exclusion in NWI (network wide 

inclusion) mode.
