#6: Association

Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices within

NOTE

the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter

Association allows di-

or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

rect transfer of control

commands between

devices, is performed

The Motion Sensor provides the association of four groups:

without participation

1st association group – "Lifeline" reports the device status and al-

of the main controller

lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).

and requires associat-

ed device to be in di-

2nd association group – "Motion" is assigned to the motion sensor

rect range.

- sends motion detection and alarm cancellation frames to the asso-

ciated devices.

3rd association group – "Tamper" is assigned to the tamper - sends

tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the associated devices.

4th association group – "Motion BC" is assigned to the motion sen-

sor - sends motion detection and alarm cancellation frames to the

associated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers

not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.

5th association group – "Tamper BC" is assigned to the tamper -

sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the associated

devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not sup-

porting Z-Wave+ protocol.

The Motion Sensor in 2nd to 5th group allows to control

5 regular and 5 multichannel devices per an association group, with

the exception of "LifeLine" that is reserved solely for the controller and

hence only 1 node can be assigned.

It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general,

as the response time to control commands depends on the number of

associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

To add an association (using the home Center controller):

1. Go to device options by clicking the icon:

2. Select the „Advanced" tab.

3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.

4. Wait for the configuration process to end. Sending relevant infor-

mation to devices added to associated groups may take even a

few minutes.

5. Wake up the device manually to speed up the configuration

process.

#7: Z-Wave range test

The Motion Sensor has a built in Z-Wave network main controller's

range tester.

Follow the below instructions to test the main controller's range:

1. Open the cover.

2. Press and hold the B-button.

3. Wait for visual indicator to glow violet (1st menu position).

4. Release the B-button.

5. Click the B-button to confirm selection.

6. visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network's range (range

signalling modes described below).

7. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button briefly.

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:

Visual indicator pulsing green - the Motion Sensor attempts to es-

tablish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct

communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed

communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by

visual indicator pulsing yellow.

Visual indicator glowing green - the Motion Sensor communicates

with the main controller directly.

Visual indicator pulsing yellow - the Motion Sensor tries to estab-

lish a routed communication with the main controller through other

modules (repeaters).

Visual indicator glowing yellow - the Motion Sensor communicates

with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds

the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the

main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing

green.

Visual indicator pulsing violet - the Motion Sensor does communi-

cate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection

proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It's not rec-

ommended to use the device at the range limit.

Visual indicator glowing red - the Motion Sensor is not able to con-

nect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave net-

work device (repeater).

CAUTION

To make Z-Wave range

test possible, the de-

vice must be added

to the Z-Wave control-

ler. Testing may stress

the network, so it is

recommended to per-

form the test only in

special cases.

NOTE

Communication mode

of the Motion Sensor

may switch between

direct and one using

routing, especially if

the device is on the

limit of the direct

range.
