What is Z-Wave?

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-wave.info.

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.

Press and hold the button for 20 seconds. When the red led ﬂashes, the device will enter the factory reset mode.

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.

To install your TriSensor with the Back-Mount Plate;

1. You can afﬁx the Back-Mount Arm by Double-Sided Tape or using the provided KA2.5ƒ-20 mm screws.

Tips: We suggest you choose the second method (using screws to afﬁx the Back-Mount Arm) which would be more stable.

2. After you have completed the afﬁxing of Back-Mount Arm, you will need to lock TriSensor to the Back-Mount Arm by screwing TriSensor in.

3. The Back-Mount Arm may be locked at various angles by turning the Friction Lock clockwise and counter-clockwise to respectively tighten or loosen the angle of

the arm. You can rotate the Friction Lock to change the measurement area of sensor.

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. Open the Cover

2. Insert the battery or connect the USB cable

3. Press the button once

4. If prompted, enter the 5 digit DSK code.

Exclusion

1. Open the Cover

2. Press the button once

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

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. To wakeup the device please perform the following action:

Waking up MultiSensor 7.



In order to conﬁgure Multisensor 7, you must either (1) wake up Multisensor 7 using the below button press function, or (2) temporarily put your Multisensor 7 on

USB power.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.

2. 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. Dont poll FLIRS devices.

6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to beneﬁt from the meshing

Association - one device controls an other 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 happens all devices stored in the respective association group will

receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.

Association Groups:
