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 smoke alarm, the smoke detector 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 reset the device keep the Z-Wave 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.
Firmware Update
Once the firmware update process has started double click the Z-Wave button to confirm firmware update process.
Alarm Messages
The device will issue the following (unsolicited) alarm messages:
•
Smoke Detected
(this message will also be issued when the test button is pressed
)
•
Low Battery Alarm
(when the battery of the wireless modules goes low), indicated by yellow LED
•
Tamper Detected
(ON, when the smoke detector head is removed from the base; OFF, when the detector head is
mounted to the base)
•
End of Life
(issued, when the Detector Main Head has reached its end of life after 10+ years.)
Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame (NIF) 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
Z-Wave button sends a NIF.
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.
Association Groups
1
Lifeline (max. nodes in group: 4)
2
Alarm Reports (max. nodes in group: 4)
3
Switching Command when Alarm (max. nodes in group:4)
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.
IMPORTANT:
Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value
sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: to set a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a
value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of a two bytes value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values, too.
Siren alarm sequence interval (Parameter: 1, Size: 1 byte)
The additional siren is creating a different acoustic signal differentiate from the smoke alarm. This sound is partly on and partly
off. This parameter defines the total length of the interval in seconds.
Value
Description
3 - 129
Seconds (Default 10)
Siren alarm tone length (Parameter: 2, Size: 1 byte)
The additional siren is creating a different acoustic signal differentiate from the smoke alarm. This sound is partly on and partly
off. This parameter defines the total length of the sound versus silence within this interval.
Value
Description
1 - 99
Seconds (Default 8)
