What is Z-WaveTM?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is
suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication)
and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the
receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-
Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as
this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a
lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-

SmartStart. Available in selected Z-Wave Plus
TM
devices built upon 500 series technology and all
devices built upon 700 series technology, SmartStart lets you setup Z-Wave devices in seconds. Using
SmartStart enabled apps, simply scan the QR code on any compatible app to connect it to your Z-Wave
gateway.

Product Description
This device measures the three air quality parameters temperature, humidity and dew point and reports
them to a central controller. Besides this, the device can directly control groups of other Z-Wave devices
on over- and undershooting a set temperature and/or humidity parameter. This can be used to establish
control loops for temperature and humidity. The device wakes up every 15 minutes to measure the
values and it will send unsolicited reports when values change. Additionally, the device will report all
values on request.
The AërQ Sensor is actively monitoring the danger of mould in a room based on the temperature and
humidity and will issue alarm warnings when critical air conditions met. Wireless Alarm and red and a
green blinking LED will indicate a mould condition. This local LED warning function is also available
when the device is not included in any Z-Wave network and works stand alone.
Prepare for Installation / Reset
Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make
sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as
described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is
recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is
excluded properly from this network.
Reset to factory default
This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure
should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
Keep the button pressed for 10 seconds. Then the green LED will start blinking. Release the button,
when the LED stops blinking. Your device is reset to factory default now.
Safety Warning for Batteries
The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used. Do not mix
batteries of different charging level or different brands.
Installation
Just place the device on any flat surface. Please keep in mind that the temperature may be different in
different locations inside the room. If placed too close to the heating both temperature, humidity and
dew point values may be wrong. The device is IP 0 rated. This means that is must not be exposed to
direct water (rain). It is safe to use the device in a humid environment such as a bathroom or dedicated
washing facility.
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
1. Insert the battery.
. Press the button quickly three times in a row.
Exclusion
1. Press the button quickly three times in a row.
Product Usage
Once the device is powered up it will start monitoring the air parameters and warn of mould using the
local red and green LED. Pushing the button will force an immediate measurement and the LEDs will
indicate the danger of mould.
 green: no danger of mould in the room
 red: danger of mould, open the windows to lower the humidity
The device contains two sensors with the following accuracy measures:
 Relative Humidity: precision ± 3% RH (max), range 0 to 80% RH
 Temperature: precision ±0.8 °C (max), range -10 to 65 °C
 Dew Point: precision ±0.8 °C (max), range -10 to 65 °C (calculated from other sensor values)
The device sends the following notifications to the central controller:
 Weather Alarm - Moisture Alarm (0x10 - 0x0 )
 Power management - Replace battery now (0x08 - 0x0b)
 Heat Alarm - Overheat Unknown Location (0x04 - 0x0 )
 Heat Alarm - Underheat Unknown Location (0x04 - 0x06)
For getting the status of the device on the network you need insert a battery to device. And you see
result: - "The GREEN LED will blink one time in case of success or RED LED will blink five times in case of
failure".
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.
. 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.
5. Don
‘ t poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Firmware-Update over the Air
This device is capable of receiving a new firmware 'over the air'. The update function needs to be
supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the update process, perform the following
action to confirm the firmware update: Wake Up the device by pressing the central button once.
Association - one device controls another device
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 happen all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless
command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.

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
1 8 ... 55 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 56. For example: To set a
parameter to 00 it may be needed to set a value of 00 minus 56 = minus 56. In case of a -byte value
the same logic applies: Values greater than 3 768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
Parameter : Minimum Temperature change to report
This value defines the minimum change of temperature to cause an unsolicited report of temperature to
the central controller using Lifeline. If the value is set to 0, there will be no reports sent to the controller,
when the temperature changes. However, periodic reports, managed by configuration parameter 4, may
still be active.
