•Panel or Controller are used interchangeably here and is what you are pairing the device with.
•Device Specific Key (DSK) –PIN Code and QR-Code Used for inclusion and to setup encrypted S2
communication.
•S2 –Secure Communication Technology.
•SmartStart –New method for easy inclusion.
•Inclusion / Adding / Pairing –Adding to a device to a Z-Wave network.
•Exclusion / Removal / Unpairing –Removing a device from a Z-Wave network or at least unpairing a
device from a network that it had been added to previously.
•Node Info Frame –Used for inclusion/Exclusion carrying information about the device.
Adding to or Removing from a Z-Wave Network
Adding:
Power up the Garage Door Controller, and the device’s status indicator will blink green three times every six
seconds to indicate that the Garage Door Controller is actively looking to be included into a network. The
Garage Door Controller must not already be added to a Z-Wave network. If the device is added to a Z-Wave
network, follow instructions below on removing. There are a few methods to add a device to a Z-Wave
network: SmartStart, Classic and Network Wide Inclusion.
For both methods, you may need to locate the Device Specific Key (DSK) which is on the device’s box and on
the back side of the device itself. Scan the DSK QR-Code with the panel’s or controller’s smartphone app or
enter it in manually when prompted.
***Note: Adding in the device as a long range node can only be done via SmartStart.
SmartStart:
1. When the Garage Door Controller is powered up and not included in a network, it is ready for
SmartStart. The status indicator will blink green three times every six seconds.
2. The device may take a few minutes to be added.
3. When it is successfully added, the device will beep and blink green once.
Classic / Network-Wide Inclusion
1. Follow the instructions of the Z-Wave controller to put the Z-Wave controller into manual or classic
Z-Wave inclusion mode.
2. Locate and press the hub button on the device.
3. The device will attempt to include itself.
4. Be prepared to enter the DSK if asked.
5. When it is successfully added, the device will beep and blink green once.
If the device beeps twice and blinks yellow once, then it was added unsecured, and the device will
automatically factory reset itself. This may leave a ghost node on the Z-Wave controller. Follow the Z-Wave
controller’s instructions to remove the unresponsive node.
This device also supports Network Wide Inclusion such that the device can be included into the Z-Wave
network over the mesh network and not directly near the main controller. This mode is automatically
activated after regular inclusion was not successful.
