6 Interoperability of devices different manufacturers
The Z-Wave allows you to integrate devices from different manufacturers working in different functional groups, such as
light, heating, home automation, ect. Z-Wave devices, are acting as repeaters in the network and increases the range of
radio communication. The more devices on the networks, the more stable and more resistant to distortion networks are.
7 Including ZWS actuator into a third-party network
Start the INCLUDE procedure on the controller which is able to perform inclusion for desired network and press “Programming”
button on the ZWS which to be included.
Note:
For information about how to activate procedure of Inclusion, using products of another manufacturers,
please read the manuals of the respective manufacturer.
8 Reset (factory default)
Sometimes it is necessary to reset ZWS to the factory settings and deleting all network information as well as groups information. For
resetting, a Primary controller (able to include/exclude) is needed. For ZWS Reset function is synonymous with “EXCLUDE”.
Note:
A successful reset is indicated by the ZWS, continuous light of network status diode (LED 2 see Figure 1)
9 Special functions – PROTECTION, ASSOCIATION,ALL ON, ALL OFF, SECURITY
“PROTECTION” - used to protect a device against unintentional operation e.g. by a child. Three levels can be set by any
controller which supports this functionality.
Unprotected – motor can be operated manually as well as by remote control.
Protection by sequence – After pressing the programming button, the motor can be controlled manually for 30 seconds by means of
buttons (see Figure 1.). Control via Z-Wave is possible.
No operation possible – local control locked. Control via Z-Wave is possible.
Note:
The description for activation and deactivation of the protection function is described in detail in the
manual instruction for controllers which are supporting this function.
“ASSOCIATION” - depending on version ZWS can be equipped with rain sensor input. In such case this ZWS, may also resend
Close command to the other devices e.g without rain sensor. In this case it is necessary to initiate "ASSAIN A ROUTE" function by
means of Controller.
Below standard procedure which can vary for different controllers:
Start "ASSIGN A ROUTE" function then press for 1 second programming button at destination ZWS (without rain sensor) then press
for 1 second programming button at source ZWS (with rain sensor).
Note:
For information on handling the "ASSAIN A ROUTE" function for products of another manufacturers,
please read the instruction manuals of the respective manufacturer. Actuator added to secure network
may in case of rain resend Close command to both secure and non-secure devices.
“All ON or All OFF”
- it is possible to define if device should respect “All close” (OFF) or “All Open” (ON) command.
Note:
The description for activation and deactivation of the “ALL SWITCH” function is described in the user
manual of the controllers supporting this function.
“SECURITY”
ZWS motors are Security Enabled products. The security provides confidential communication between nodes in network.
Note:
Security Enabled Z-Wave Controller must be used in order to fully utilize ZWS. Actuator added to the
secure network will not be able to be operated by controllers which do not support Security.
