ZME_WALLC-S
Z-Wave Secure Wall Controller
Firmware Version : 1.0
Quick Start
S This device operates as Z-Wave sensor in two modes: the normal control mode (daily use) or in management mode for setup. Pushing all
four buttons for 5 sec. turns the device into management mode (indicated by blinking green LED). The management mode will time out after 10
seconds if no further button is pushed. Place your primary controller in inclusion mode by following the manufacturer's instructions, then activate
inclusion on the device by pressing any one of the four buttons for one second. Inclusion mode is indicated by the red/green blinking of the
LEDs until the timeout occurs after 10 seconds. A short press of any buttons also terminates this mode. Re-Inclusion and Exclusion are
performed by pushing button 1 in management mode. In this mode button 2 issues a Node Information Frame or wakeup notification and button
4 is used to add devices into association groups. The device supports secure communication.
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the international standard for wireless
communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the frequency of 868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each
message is reconfirmed (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.
Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or measured data or actuators (A) capable to
execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated remote
controls(R). This results in a number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are partly or completely supported by a specific
device.
1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is
managing the network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other controllers don't
manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The image also shows that its not possible to operate a
sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with static controllers.
Product description
The Z-Wave.Me Wall Controller is a Z-Wave device that can both control other Z-Wave devices and activate predefined scenes in an IP gateway.
Although it is controlling other devices, the Wall Controller cannot act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or secondary) and will always need a Z-
Wave network controller to be included into a Z-Wave network. The device can be used in different modes that are selected by configuration
parameters:
1. Control of groups of other Z-Wave devices using 'ON', 'OFF' and Dim commands.
2. Activation of predefined scenes in Gateways or other Z-Wave devices.
The wall controller must be completed by a mounting frame, the wall switch frame and a rocker. They are not scope of delivery of this device.
This device support secure communication when included by a controller that also supports secure communication. The device will then send all
commands as secure commands unless the receiving device can not accept them. Then the command is send the normal way automatically.
The device will be completed with different designs of wall frame and rockers.

Batteries
The unit is operated by batteries. Use only batteries of correct type. Never mix old and new batteries in the same device. Used batteries contain
hazardous substances and should not be disposed of with household waste!
Battery Type: 1 * CR2032
Installation Guidelines
On factory default state pushing any button for one seconds starts inclusion (red/green LED blinking fast). This behavior can be used to test the factory
default or exclusion state.
The device can be mounted on every dry and flat surface using either screws or double side adhesive. First the mounting base is fixed on the wall. Next
step the switch frame is placed on the 2 frame and the electronic insert is used to fix the frame to the mounting base as shown on the image. Finally the
switching paddle(s) are mounted on the electronic base.
For battery change, the switching paddle(s) need to be removed. The CR battery can be replaced by pushing the little nipple above the battery. The old
battery will slide out and the new battery is inserted until the nipple will hold it again.
The device can be operated in two different modes:
Operation Mode: This is the mode where the device is controlling other Z-Wave devices or is activating scenes.
Management Mode: The device is turned into the management mode by pushing all four buttons for 5 sec. A blinking green LED indicates the
management mode. In the management mode the buttons of the device have different functions. If no further action is performed, the device will
turn back to the normal mode after 10 sec. Any management action terminates the management mode as well.
In management mode the following actions can be performed:
Button 1 - Re-Inclusion/Exclusion: Every re-inclusion or exclusion attempt is confirmed by hitting this button. Any button press stops the mode as
well.
Button 2 - Send Node Information Frame and Wake up Notification. (see explanation below)
Button 3 - Factory Default Reset. After clicking on button 3 keep button 4 pushed for >4 seconds
Button 4 - Enter into Association mode to assign target devices to one of the four association. Refer to the manuals section about association for
more information how to set and unset association groups.
Factory Reset
The device can be set back to factory defaults without performing an exclusion process. Please executes the following steps: (1) Turn the device into
Management Mode, (2) click on Button 3, (3) keep button 4 pushed for 4 seconds.
Behavior within the Z-Wave network
I On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to join an existing wireless network to communicate
with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion. Devices can also leave a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes
are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Please refer to your
primary controllers manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion or exclusion mode. Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or exclusion
mode, this device can join or leave the network. Leaving the network - i.e. being excluded - sets the device back to factory default.
If the device already belongs to a network, follow the exclusion process before including it in your network. Otherwise inclusion of this device will fail. If
the controller being included was a primary controller, it has to be reset first.
Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode turn the Wall Controller into management mode and hit button 3. The device is excluded by
entering management mode and hitting button 3 when the controller is in exclusion mode. To include/exclude the device in the NWI mode turn the
Wall Controller into management mode and hit button 1.

Operating the device
Depending on the button mode and operating modes configured using the configuration parameters the key fob can be used in different ways.
Button modes:
4 Groups are controlled with single button (parameter 1/2 = 0) The four buttons 1-4 control one single control group each: 1->A, 2->B, 3->C, 4->D.
Single click turns devices in the control group on, double click turns them off. Click and hold can be used for dimming.
2 Groups are controlled with two buttons (parameter 1/2 = 1) The buttons 1 and 3 control the control group A (button on turns on, buttons turns
off), the buttons 2 and 4 control the control group B (button on turns on, buttons turns off). In case dimmers are controlled, holding down the larger
button will dim up, holding down the smaller button will dim down the load. Releasing the button will stop the dimming function.
4 Groups are controlled with two buttons and double click (parameter 1/2 = 2) This mode enhances the previous mode and allows to control two
further control groups C and D using double clicks.
Operating modes:
The devices supports 8 different operating modes - this means the kind of command sent out when pushing a button. Operating modes either directly
control other devices or they issue various scene activation commands to a central controller. Operating modes for direct device control are:
Direct Control of associated devices with On/Off/Dim commands (parameter 11...14 = 1). Devices are controlled using Basic Set On/Off
commands and SwitchMultilevel Dim Start/Stop. This mode implements communication pattern 7.
Direct Control of associated devices with only On/Off commands (parameter 11...14 = 2). Devices are controlled using only Basic Set
On/Off commands. On dimming Up event On is sent, on dimming Down Off is sent. This mode also implements communication pattern 7.
Switch All commands (parameter 11...14 = 3) In this mode a all neighbouring devices will receive SwitchAll Set On/Off command and
interpret it according to their membership in SwitchAll groups. This mode implements communication pattern 7.
Door Lock Control (parameter 11...14 = 7) This modes allows direct control (open/close) of electronic door locks using secure communication.
The mode implements communication pattern 7.
Operating modes for scene activation are:
Direct Activation of preconfigured scenes (parameter 11...14 = 5) Associated devices in an association group are controlled by individual
commands defines by Z-Wave command class ‘Scene Controller Configuration’. This mode enhances mode Direct Control of associated
devices with On/Off/Dim commands and implements communication patterns 6 and 7. Please turn the button mode to 'seperate' to allows
different scene id on every button.
Scene Activation in IP Gateway (parameter 11...14 = 4) If configured correctly the buttons can trigger a scene in a gateway. The scene

11-11-2014 manuals.zwaveeurope.com/make.php?lang=en&type=&sku=ZME_WALLC-S
http://manuals.zwaveeurope.com/make.php?lang=en&type=&sku=ZME_WALLC-S 4/8
number triggered is a combination of the group number and the action performed on the button and has always two digits. The group number
defines the upper digit of the scene number, the action the lower digit. The following actions are possible:
1 = On
2 = Off
3 = Dim Up Start
4 = Dim Down Start
5 = Dim Up Stop
6 = Dim Down Stop
Example: Clicking/double clicking the button will issue scene triggers, scene 11 (button 1 click, event on), scene 12 (button double click 1, event
off, single button control is used in this example)
Activation of Central Scenes (parameter 11...14 = 8,Default) Z-Wave Plus introduces a new process for scene activation - the central scene
control. Pushing a button and releasing a button sends a certain command to the central controller using the lifeline association group. This
allows to react both on button push and button release. This mode implements communication patterns 6 but requires a central gateway
supporting Z-Wav Plus.
Child Protection
The device can be turn into a child protection mode. In this mode all local operation is disabled.
The device can be turned into a child protection mode. In this mode all local operation is disabled. The child protection mode MUST be turned on
wirelessly. However, in protected by sequence mode it is possible to unlock the device for local operation by pressing any button for 5 seconds. The
unlock state will last for 5 seconds.
Wakeup Intervals - how to communicate with the device?
W This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is
limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery
operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become
impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the
mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by
a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time
and the desired responses of the device.
The device will stay awake right after inclusion for 10 seconds allowing the controller to perform certain configuration actions. It is possible to manually
wake up the device by pushing button 2 in management mode.
The minimum allowed wakeup time is 240s but it is strongly recommended to define a much longer interval since the only purpose of a wakeup should
be the reporting of the battery status or an update of the child protection settings. Defining Node ID of 0 as a destination of the Wakeup Notification will
disable the periodical wakeup function entirely.
It is possible to set the node ID to 255 to send wakeup notifications as broadcast. In this mode device takes more time to go to sleep and drains battery
faster, but can notify all it's direct neighbors about a wakeup.
Node Information Frame
NI The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical
capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain
network operations to send out a Node Information Frame.
Pressing Button 2 in management mode will issue a Node Information Frame.
LED Control
1. Confirmation - green 2 sec
2. Failure - red 2 sec
3. Button press confirmation - green 1/4 sec
4. Waiting for Network Management mode selection - green blinks
5. Waiting for group selection in Association Set Mode - green fast blink
6. Waiting for NIF in Association Set Mode - green-red - off blink
Associations
A 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

11-11-2014 manuals.zwaveeurope.com/make.php?lang=en&type=&sku=ZME_WALLC-S
http://manuals.zwaveeurope.com/make.php?lang=en&type=&sku=ZME_WALLC-S 5/8
calledassociation groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all
devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.
Association Groups:
1 Lifeline (max. nodes in group: 10)
2 Control Group A, controlled by button 1 or single clicks of buttons 1 and 3 (max. nodes in group: 10)
3 Control Group B, controlled by button 2 or single clicks of buttons 2 and 4 (max. nodes in group: 10)
4 Control Group C, controlled by button 3 or double clicks of buttons 1 and 3 (max. nodes in group: 10)
5 Control Group D, controlled by button 4 or double clicks of buttons 2 and 4 (max. nodes in group: 10)
Set and unset associations to actuators
Associations can be assigned and remove either via Z-Wave commands or using the device itself.
SA
To control a Z-Wave device from the Wall Controller the node ID of this devices needs to be assigned to one of the four association groups. This is a
three-step process:
1. Turn the Wall Controller into management mode and hit button 4 within 10 sec. (LED is blinking green when management mode is reached).
2. Within 10 sec. push the button you like the Z-Wave actuator to be assigned with. After 10 sec. the devices goes back to sleep. Single click
means adding to this association group, double click means removing the node selected in step (3) from this association group.
3. Find the Z-Wave actuator you like to control by the Wall Controller. Hit the button on the device to issue a Node Information Frame within 20 sec.
A common way is hitting a control button one or three times. Please consult the manual of the device to be controlled for more information how to
issue an Node Information Frame. Any button press on Wall Controller at this stage will terminate the process.
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 to configure signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in the application
shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: to set a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of
two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
