Firmware Version : 1.1
Quick Start
A This device is a Z-Wave Actor. Tripple click the button on the device confirms the inclusion, exclusion and association. After
plugging in it will stay in auto inclusion mode for 4 minutes.
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.
Controllers control actuators1.
Actuators report change of status back to controller2.
Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller3.
Sensors directly control actuators4.
Actuators control other actuators5.
Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions6.
Remote controls control other actuators.7.
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
This is a Plug-in switch, which can be placed between a wall outlet for Schuko plug and electric devices with a resistive load up to
3000W, plugged in by cord. In addition, this intelligent plug-in switch is able to detect the voltage, the power factor, the current
amd measure the electric power taken by this load (in Wh) as well as meter the electrical energy consumed (in kWh). It will also
detect a possible overload (3010 ~ 3300W) of the connected electrical device. When detecting an overload, the module is
deactivated and the LED will flash for 30 seconds. In case the devices is used for metering only a special configuration option
prevents the device from turning off the load.
Before Device is installed
Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the radio-actuator, in order to ensure an error-free
functioning.
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works
with 230 Volt mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against
re-switching.
The product is permitted only for proper use as specified in the user manual. Any kind of guarantee claim has to be forfeited if
changes, modifications or painting are undertaken. The product must be checked for damages immediately after unpacking. In the
case of damages, the product must not be operated in any case. If a danger-free operation of the equipment cannot be assured,
the voltage supply has to be interrupted immediately and the equipment has to be protected from unintended operation.
Installation Guidelines
In the front casing there is an On/Off button with LED indicator, which is used to toggle switch on and off or carry out inclusion,
exclusion, reset or association. When first powered, the LED flashes on and off alternately at a 2-seconds interval. It implies that it
is not included in a Z-Wave network and has not been assigned a node ID.
Auto Inclusion
The auto inclusion starts when the switch is not included into a Z-Wave network and plugged into a wall outlet. Auto inclusion
timeout is 4 minutes during the node information frame will be emitted once every 5 seconds. Unlike the normal inclusion it is not
necessary pressing the On/Off button on the switch. If auto inclusion exceeds the timeout you have to include the device manually.
Note: Do not locate the switch facing direct sunlight, humid or dusty places. The suitable ambient temperature for the switch is
0°C - 40°C. Do not locate the switch near to combustible substances or any source of heat. After putting it into use, the casing of
the switch will become a little bit warm.
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.
Tripple Click the button on the device confirms inclusion and exclusion. After plugging in it will stay in auto inclusion mode for 4
minutes.
Operating the device
Manual Operation
Plug the device into a wall outlet near the load to be controlled.
●
Plug the load into the switch. Make sure the load to be controlled cannot exceed 3000 watts.
●
Press the button or switch the load to the ON position.
●
To manually turn ON the switch, press and release the On/Off button. The LED will turn on, and the load plugged into the switch
●
will also turn on.
To manually turn OFF the switch, simply press and release the On/Off button again. The LED will turn off and the load plugged
●
into the switch will also turn off.
Remote Operation
Remote On/Off control of the switch is possible with any manufacturer's Z-Wave controller. Further you can set associations to let
your device controlled by other Z-Wave devices like sensors.
The switch is able to detect the current wattage (5 - 3150W) and overload wattage (3010 - 3300W) of connected ligths or
appliances. When detecting overload state, the switch will be disabled and its On/off button will be locked and the LED will flash
quickly. However unplug and reconnect the switch to reset its overload condition to normal status.
Node Information Frame
NIF 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.
Tripple click the button on the device sends out a Node Information Frame.
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 called association 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 When the power consumption of load vary over 5%, the device will send a Meter Report. When "on" or "off" state has been
changed, it will send Binary Switch Report. (max. nodes in group: 1)
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 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 a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given
as negative values too.
