Its also possible to install the Flow Stop on a gas bottle as shown below.
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 red inclusion button 3 times. For Unsecure Inclusion press the red inclusion button 2
times.
Exclusion
press the red inclusion button 3 times
Product Usage
The Flow Stop can be operated in three different ways.
1.
Remotely using Z-Wave wireless on/off commands.
The device will appear in your
controller as a simple on/off switch easy to operate. To protect the device from tampering or
wrongdoing you can limit the remote operations using the configuration parameter #1.
2.
Local operation by simple pushing the red button.
Any push of the button will result in a
change of the status from open to close or vice versa.
3.
Mechanical overwrite
allows opening or closing the valve even in case of a power failure.
Disconnect the valve using the internal clutch by pulling the ring. Keep the ring pulled while
moving the handle manually. Never move the handle without having the clutch
disconnected. As best it will not work, as worst case it will destroy the device. Operating the
valve manually only works without power supply. If the Flow Stop is powered and you
operate the valve the motor will drive it into previous position immediately.
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. To issue a NIF execute the following
action: press the red inclusion button 3 times
