Engineering Specifications
This product can be operated in any Z-Wave™ network with other Z-Wave Plus™ certified devices from other
manufacturers. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to
increase reliability of the network. Each module is designed to act as a repeater, which will re-transmit a radio
frequency (RF) signal by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots to ensure that the signal is received
at its intended destination. ZWA038-A is a security enabled Z-Wave Plus™ device. A security Enabled Z-Wave Plus™
Controller must be used in order to fully utilize the product.

8 Security Network
This device is a security enabled Z-Wave Plus product that is able to use encrypted Z-Wave Plus messages to
communicate to other security enabled Z-Wave Plus products.
The device supports the security function with S2 encrypted communication. The device will auto switch to the
security mode when the device included with a security controller. In the security mode, the commands will use
security command class wrapped to communicate with others, otherwise the device will not response any commands.
This device supports security levels are listed in below table:
Security Levels

9 SmartStart
SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the
product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be
added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity. You can find the QR code on the
bottom of the product, like this:
