Inclusion/Exclusion
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be
added
to an existing wireless network
to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is
called
Inclusion
.
Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called
Exclusion
. Both processes are
initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion
respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action
right on the device.
Inclusion
Press the button three times within 1.5 second, the device will enter inclusion mode. And the LED will
flash on and off alternately five times.
Exclusion
Press the button three times within 1.5 second, the device will enter exclusion mode.
Product Usage
Battery life of door sensor is approximately 2 years. The power level of battery would be displayed in
the gateway. Red icon means the battery needs replacing, and then mobile app would receive a
message “power level is low, please remember to replace battery” from gateway. In order to avoid
false alarm, before replacing battery, please disconnect association of door sensor with other devices.
Note:
Door sensor is powered by battery, and please use battery in a correct way to avoid exploding.
When handling the battery, refer to environmental law please.
1. When door sensor is triggered, LED lights would flash red colour 1 time.
2. When door sensor is installed with battery, LED lights would flash red colour 5 times.
3. Add or remove door sensor from Z-Wave network by quickly pressing the button 3 times, then LED
lights would flash red colour 5 times.
4. Press and hold the code button for 10-15s, then door sensor would be restored to factory default
settings. Meanwhile, LED lights would flash red colour 5 times on and off alternately.
5. Under the normal state, LED lights would keep “off “ state.
Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life
time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static
controller
C
is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated
devices and store commands that cannot be received during deep sleep state. Without such a
controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly
decreased.
This device will wake up regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup
Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured
with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a
static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is
a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wake up the
device please perform the following action: Manual Wakeup the Sensor You can press the button
once to wake up the device and send wakeup notification to controller. If press successfully, the LED
will blink one time.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things don
’t work as expected.
1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
