1.3. 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:
Siren Alarm
When the unit is activated by the Z-Wave controller, the unit's piezoelectric siren will sound for 3
minutes (default setting) along with the LEDs and flash.
Display of the system status
The device can be used to signal a changed status (e.g. system is activated).
Sabotage protection / wall break contact
If the housing is opened or the unit is torn off the wall, the sabotage switch is triggered and the
unit sends a sabotage alarm to the Z-Wave controller.
The sabotage contact must remain pressed for three seconds to acknowledge the sabotage
alarm.
1.4. Performance features
The device..:
... is a battery-powered outdoor siren
... 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 mounting in protected outdoor areas (IP44)
1.5. 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.
1.6. DSK code
The DSK code (Device-Specific Key) is the device-specific key of 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 side 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.

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 5 Lifeline General
notification report
battery report
Device Reset Locally Notification
Switch Binary Report
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.
3.2. WakeUp Time
The device is a FLiRS (Frequently Listening Receiver Slave) and therefore does not require a wake-up
function. The outside siren can be controlled by the Z-Wave controller at any time.
