Module Removal & Installation
The Z-Wave module is pre-fitted. To remove the module, carefully use the pull tag to remove the
module from the Alarm. To refit the module plug it into the base of the Alarm while being careful
to align the connector pins and insert the flexible antenna into the antenna hole (See Fig 3). N.B.
Ensure that the module is fully inserted.
The Z-Wave RF module will be pre-installed by the manufacturer. If the Z-Wave module is
removed and fitted to another host Alarm, the label displaying the FCC ID: A5FEiA200ZW & ISED
ID: 22380EiA200ZW must be placed on the new host Alarm, visible when installed (see Fig 4).
Adding to a Network (Inclusion)
Do not attempt to add your Z-Wave alarm unless you are familar with the operation of your
Z-Wave controller.
1. Read the instruction for your Z-Wave controller regarding adding new devices.
2. Initiate the inclusion function within your Z-Wave Controller.
Pressing the button ‘Inclusion Button’ for one second includes the device with Security. (See fig
2) The green LED will blink briefly.
3. If the button is pressed for at least 2.5 seconds the inclusion will be done without the (Security
Command Class). A single click on the button will exclude the device. *Note: some primary
controllers may require you to hold the button for longer.
4. If the inclusion is not successful , restart from step 1
5. Press the test button on the Alarm to check that the controller receives a notification.
6. Once the Alarm is included in the Z-Wave system you can define associations groups via the
Z-Wave controller. Please refer to your controller manual for further details.
Removing from the Network (exclusion)
Single click the Button to start the removal process. The LED will blink a couple of times. *Note
a device must be already added to the network.
Check-In Period:
The frequency of the check-in period is configurable by the controller, the more frequent the
check-in period the shorter the Z-Wave module battery life. The following is an indication of typical
battery life based on the check -in period.
6 hours check-in = 6 years
4 hours check-in = 4 years
1 hour check-in = 3 years
Operating the device
There is no defined level of Carbon monoxide that will result in an alarm. The danger of CO is a result of the total level of CO in the air plus the duration
of exposure. A Z-Wave alarm will be sent out when one of the following conditions where met:
• CO level above 50 ppm for a duration of 60-90 minutes
• CO level above 110 ppm for a duration of 10-40 minutes
• CO level above 250 ppm for a duration of 2 minutes
The alarm will be sent to the controller plus any device listed in the association group 2.
Note: All communication of the wireless module is performed with application level security if the device was included securely and all communication
partners support secure communication as well. In case a non-secure device is associated for switching on a CO Alarm, the CO Alarm will detect this
and change its communication style with this very device to non-secure. This process happens one time and will take about 20 seconds. This delay
will happen on first communication only.
Factory reset
To do a factory reset press the inclusion button for at least 10 seconds. After 5 Seconds the LED will start to blink and briefly stop 5 seconds later.
This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
Alarm Messages
The device will issue the following (unsolicited) alarm messages:
- CO Detected
(when alarm levels of CO are detected or when the test button is pressed)
- Low Battery Alarm
(when the battery goes low)
- Tamper Detected
(when the CO Alarm head is removed from the base)
- Fault
(issued, when the Alarm Head detects a Sensor Fault or EOL)
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.
A simple click on the ‘Inclusion Button’ sends a NIF.
Associations
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. Please refer to your Z-Wave controller manual for further instructions.
Association Groups:
1
Lifeline (max. nodes in group: 10)
2
Alarm Reports (max. nodes in group: 10)
3
Switching Command when Alarm (max. nodes in group: 10)
2
Antenna
