1.4. Operating principle
The device was developed for use in alarm and home automation systems that use the Z-Wave wireless
standard. The device has the following functions:
Code entry
The numbers can be used to send codes to a Z-Wave controller. These code entries can be sent either
with or without additional commands, such as “Activate System”. Code entries without additional
commands are suitable, among other things, for triggering various home automation scenarios. The
individual automations are programmed in your Z-Wave controller.
Triggering an emergency alarm
With the aid of the independent button for the emergency alarm, for example, a panic alarm or medical
emergency can be triggered.
Display of the system status
The device can be used to signal a changed status and the current status (e.g. system is activated).

English
1.5. Performance features
The device..:
... is a battery operated keypad
... is due to its design only suitable for wall mounting
... is Z-Wave Plus compatible & certified
... supports the Z-Wave S2 standard (Security 2)
... has a low battery warning function
... was developed for indoor installation
1.6. Use in systems of different manufacturers
This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other
manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor
to increase reliability of the network.
This product is based upon a slave Role Type implementing Security 2 with the Access Control Security
Class. The command classes are supported only when the Access Control Security Key has been
granted, therefore an S2 security enabled controller is required to operate the product.
1.7. DSK code
The DSK code (Device-Specific Key) is the device-specific keyof your device and is required for secure
inclusion (teach-in) via S2 on the Z-Wave controller. The first 5 digits, known as the PIN Code, of the
DSK can be found underneath the QR Code on the back of the product.
Please enter them in the inclusion process when prompted. Alternatively, you can transfer the entire
DSK code that you find on the enclosed DSK card to the Z-Wave controller via QR Code Scan. Please
keep the DSK card in a safe place!
Hint:
We recommend the secure S2 inclusion (must be supported by the Z-Wave controller). Please scan
the DSK QR code when prompted by your App.

seconds) to start the inclusion on the device.
The Link LED starts flashing green for up to 60
seconds
Successful inclusion is displayed in the app or on the
Z-Wave controller and the link LED on the device lights
up green.
Repeat the inclusion process if it was not successful.
If a new attempt fails as well, first carry out a factory
reset on the device, see 2.5.

3. Advanced Z-Wave Parameters
3.1. Association Groups
Z-Wave devices can control other devices directly. This direct control is called association in Z-Wave.
The device ID of the device to be controlled must be stored in the controlling devices. This is done in
so-called association groups. An association group is always linked to an event in the controlling device
(keystroke or triggering of a sensor). When this event occurs, a control command - usually a BASIC
SET - is sent to all devices stored in an association group.
The device supports one association group:
Group-
Number
Maximum
Devices
Group name
Profile
command class
Group 1

Lifeline
General
Notification report

Device Reset Locally Notification
Entry control
Group 1 (Association Z-Wave Controller)
The Lifeline Association is automatically established between the Z-Wave controller and the
device at inclusion and defines what information is exchanged between the Z-Wave controller
and the device.
