The Z-Wave Smoke Sensor ZHS08 is designed to give early warning of developing fires 

by giving off the alarm sounds from its build-in alarm horn, based on Z-WAVE technology.

It is the Z-WAVE plus product, it support the security, OTA... Those newest features of 

the Z-WAVE technology. Z-WAVE is a wireless communication protocol designed for home 

automation, specifically to remotely control applications in residential and light commercial 

environments. The technology uses a low-power RF radio embedded or retrofitted into home 

electronics devices and systems, such as lighting, home access control, entertainment sys-

tems and household appliances.

This product can be included and operated in any Z-WAVE network  with other Z-WAVE cer-

tified devices from other manufacturers and/or  other applications.  All non-battery operated 

nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability 

of the network. 

The device adopt the Z-WAVE 500 series chip, when your Z-WAVE network system is all 

made by Z-WAVE 500 series devices. The network system will have the advantages as 

below.

•  Concurrent multi-channel support reduces external interference.
•  Better RF range, improve about 10 meters in indoor.
•  Support 100 Kbps transmit speed, speed up communication.

Add to/Remove from Z-WAVE Network

There is one button on the device. It can be used to add, remove, reset or association from 

Z-WAVE network.

In the first time, add the device into the Z-WAVE network. First, make sure the Gateway is in 

the add mode. And then insert battery to power on the device. Press the button once to start 

the NWI (Network Wide Inclusion) mode. And it should be added in 5 seconds. 

Notice:

Including a node ID allocated by Z-WAVE-Controller means 

“Add”

 or 

“Inclusion”

.  Exclu-

ding a node ID allocated by Gateway means 

“Remove”

 or “Exclusion”.

Logging in (inclusion) or logging out (exclusion) of the sensor

By pressing the Test and programming switch 3x within 1,5 seconds, you confirm
the inclusion and exclusion of the device.

Function

Description

Add

1.  Have Gateway entered inclusion mode.

2.  Pressing button three times within 1.5 seconds to

  enter the inclusion mode.

3.  After add successful, the device will wake to receive the setting

  command from Gateway about 20 seconds.

Remove

1.  Have Gateway entered exclusion mode.

2.  Pressing button three times within 1.5 seconds to enter

  the exclusion mode. Node ID has been removed.

Reset

Notice: Use this procedure only in the event that the primary Gate-

way is lost or otherwise inoperable.

1. Pressing button four times within 1.5 seconds and do not

    release the button in the 4th pressed, and the red LED will light ON.

2. After the red LED flash 9 times, release the button within 2 seconds.

3. IDs are removed and all settings will reset to factory default.

Association 1.  Have Gateway entered association mode.

2.  Pressing button three times within 1.5 seconds to enter

  the association mode.

Note: The device support 1 groups. This group is for receiving the 

report message, like triggered event etc. This group support 8

nodes maximum.

Failed or success in add/remove the node ID can be viewed from Gateway.

Z-WAVE Notification

After the device adding to the network, it will wake-up once per day in default. When it 

wake-up it will broadcast the “Wake Up Notification” message to the network, and wake-up 

10 seconds for receive the setting commands.

The wake-up interval minimum setting is 30 minutes, and maximum setting is 120 hours. 

And the interval step is 30 minutes.

If the user want to wake-up the device immediately, please press the  button once. The 

device will wake-up 10 seconds.

Z-WAVE Message Report

When Smoke Sensor detects, the device will report the trigger event and also report the 

battery status.

In default the device will using Notification Report to represent the trigger event, it can be 

changed to Sensor Binary Report by setting the configuration NO. 7 Bit4 to 1.

* Smoke Detected/Test Report:

When the Smoke Sensor detects smoke, the device will unsolicited to send the smoke de-

tected (0x02) report to the nodes in the group 1. When the device is in alarm test mode,

released, the yellow LED will light on and the device will unsolicited to send the report to 

the nodes in the group 1.

Notice: 

When the event triggered, the device will report the messages to the nodes in the group 1. 

The messages also include the tamper status.

Power Up Procedure

* NWI

When the device power on, the device will check is it already adding to the network? If

Controller can communicate with the device. Normally the device is always sleeping to save 

the battery energy.

Over The Air (OTA) Firmware Update

The device support the Z-Wave firmware update via OTA.

Let the Controller into the firmware update mode, and then press the button once to start 

the update.

Please don‘t remove the battery,

 otherwise it will cause the firmware broken, and the
