2 Description of ZWMA module

ZWMA adaptive module fulfils the function of a controller and enables remote control of electrical
accessories compatible with Z-Wave system, e.g. ZWS12 and ZWS230 actuators for operating FAKRO roof
windows. The module is equipped with four digital inputs, 3-contact (no.3 Figure 1) to which potential-free
signals from different external devices are connected, e.g. thermostat, timer, KNX/EIB system, etc. The module
can operate up to 231 devices simultaneously or in groups.

“SELECT” button (no. 3 – Figure 1) makes it possible to choose one from four channels (no.1 – Figure 1) to which
devices such as ZWS12, ZWS230 actuators can be assigned. Channels correspond to the digital inputs (no. 8 –

Figure 1). Devices associated with the channel 1 are operated from the digital input 1, channel 2 - operated
from the digital input 2 etc...

ZWMA adaptive module is equipped with a two-way radio communication system Z-Wave, which uses radio
frequency of 868,42 MHz.

Module controlling

Devices assigned to the channel are controlled as follows:

close – short (< 0,5s) short-circuit of contact 1-2 or pressing the button “down”
open- short (<0,5s) short-circuit of contact 2-3 or pressing the button “up”

stop - short-circuit (>1s) of contact 1-2-3

Multilevel mode. Longer short-circuit (>0,5s) of contacts 1-2 or 2-3 will switch on device (open / close)

and opening of contacts – (stop).

4 Module programming

In order to operate electric FAKRO accessories equipped with the Z-WAVE system by means of
the ZWMA adaptive module, it is necessary to:

1. Add the device to be operated by means of the module to the “Z-Wave” system – see ZWP10 remote
control and ZWK10, ZWK1 keyboards manuals, chapter “Adding device to the network (INCLUDE
function)” or other controller working in the Z-Wave system. If the device is already operated with one
of the controllers, proceed to section 2.

2. Add the module to the Z-Wave network as a SECONDARY controller, chapter 4.1 (LEARN MODE
function).

and

3. Associate the device with a selected channel in the module (No. 1, Figure 1) specifying the task to be
performed by it (chapter 4.2, ASSOCIATE function).

Note!!! Any device which is physically removed from the network (e.g. damaged) should be deleted from the
memory of the controller (PRIMARY, SECONDARY), that is first deleted from the pair of buttons (section

3.4) and then removed from the network (section 3.5). The correct implementation of the procedures is to
ensure optimal communication between devices. Unplugging the device without removing it from the controller
memory will result in a prolonged reaction time to commands and faster depletion of the controller battery. If it
is necessary to remove the damaged equipment, whose removal from the controller memory is not possible, it is
desirable to reconfigure the whole network (all devices). Start a new network configuration from restoring the
controller to the factory settings (DEFAULT function), then call the EXCLUDE function of devices working
correctly and continue to the section 3, "Controller Programming".

Note!!! Moving the device within the network (e.g. socket module) it is recommended to delete it from the
controller memory (delete it from the pair of buttons first (section 3.4) and then remove from the network
(section 3.5) and then add it again after installation in new place of work.

13.11.21 NC825-GB 5/16 ©2013, FAKRO

4.1 Associating adaptive module to the Z-Wave network (LEARN MODE function)

Associating the adaptive module (controller) results in its being categorized as SECONDARY. Associating
the module with the network consists in sending data to it from PRIMARY controller. The procedure of associating the
module with the network is presented in Figure 3. In order to assure the best possible communication within the network
and after each its modification (including or removing a device):

• associating another controller with the network should be performed after associating all devices with the first
controller (“PRIMARY”),

• or performing LEARN MODE again on the “SECONDARY” controller already associated with the network.

*) Programming error results from failure to receive any reply from the device which can be caused by:

• failure to enter LEARN MODE in the ZWMA module by pressing the “In/Ex” button three times until
the PRIMARY controller is signalling its readiness for adding a new device to the network:

• long distance between the controller and ZWMA module;

• the module is associated with another network and it is necessary to carry out the DEFAULT procedure

first.

Note!!! To control the devices form the controller “Secondary”, perform the ASSOCIATE function (see section 3.2)
Note!!! In the newer version of a controller, interrupting any procedure is possible by pressing the “IN/EX” button. In the older

version, it is necessary to wait 10 seconds until the error is signalled by the controller or reset it by disconnecting the power
supply.

4.2 Associating device with ZWMA module (ASSOCIATE function)

Associating a device with the ZWMA module which has been already added to the Z-Wave
network enables operating that device by means of a signal sent to the digital input in the module. The
procedure of device associating is presented in Figure 4.

*) Programming error results from failure to receive any reply form the device and may be caused by:

• failure to press programming button within 10 seconds from the moment module is signalling its readiness for associating
a new device with a selected channel;

• long distance between the module and device being added;

• the device already belonging to the network other the module with which it is associated. It is necessary to associate the

module with the same network in which the device operates.

4.3 Device deleting from ZWMA adaptive module (DELETE function)

This function removes from the module's memory the device which has been associated with a
selected channel. It does not remove the device from the “Z-Wave” network. The procedure of deleting the
device from a given channel is presented in Figure 5.

*) Programming error results from failure to receive any reply from the device and may be caused by:

• failure to press the programming button within 10 seconds from the module signalling its readiness to
delete the device;

• long distance between the module and device being deleted;

• the device belonging to network other than module.

Note!!! Any device which is physically removed from the network (e.g. damaged) should be deleted from the memory of the

controller (PRIMARY, SECONDARY), that is first deleted from the pair of buttons (section 3.4) and then removed from the network
(section 3.5). The correct implementation of the procedures is to ensure optimal communication between devices. Unplugging the
device without removing it from the controller memory will result in a prolonged reaction time to commands and faster depletion of
the controller battery. If it is necessary to remove the damaged equipment, whose removal from the controller memory is not possible,
it is desirable to reconfigure the whole network (all devices). Start a new network configuration from restoring the controller to the
factory settings (DEFAULT function), then call the EXCLUDE function of devices working correctly and continue to the section 3,
"Controller Programming".

Note!!! Moving the device within the network (e.g. socket module) it is recommended to delete it from the controller memory

(delete it from the pair of buttons first (section 3.4) and then remove from the network (section 3.5) and then add it again after
installation in new place of work.

4.4 Return to default settings of the ZWMA adaptive module (DEFAULT function)

Restoring default settings of the controller leads to the following information being deleted from its

memory:

• network, to which the module has been added;

• devices associated with the ZWMA module.

The procedure of restoring default settings is described in Figure 6.

4.5 Removing the ZWMA adaptive module from the network

Removing the ZWMA module from the network consists in restoring default settings in this module.

4.6 Additional functions

4.6.1 Configuring the Z-Wave network using the ZWMA adaptive module (INCLUDE function).

Adding a device to the “Z-Wave” network is possibly only with the use of PRIMARY controller
(e.g. keyboard ZWK10, ZWK1, ZWP10, ZWPTV). The ZWMA module should be associated with the network
as SECONDARY. However, there is a possibility of programming the module for the network as PRIMARY.
The procedure of device adding to the network with the use of the ZWMA module is presented in Figure 7.

*) Programming error results from the fact of not receiving any response from the device and may be caused
by:

• failure to press the programming button within 10 seconds from the module signalling its readiness for
adding the device to the network;

• long distance between the module and the device being added;

• the module has been earlier associated with the network as “SECONDARY” – it is necessary to perform

DEFAULT procedure.

supply.

4.6.2 Excluding a device from the Z-Wave network using the ZWMA adaptive module (EXCLUDE
function)

Excluding a device from the “Z-Wave” network is possible only with the use of a PRIMARY controller
(e.g. ZWK10, ZWP10, ZWPTV). If the ZWMA module in the Z-Wave network is marked as PRIMARY
(network configuration as per section 4.6.1), then devices can be excluded only using that module. The
procedure of device excluding from the network with the use of the ZWMA module is presented in Figure 8.

*) Programming error results from the fact of not receiving any response from the device and may be caused by:

• failure to press the programming button within 10 seconds from the module signalling its readiness to delete the
device;

• the device belonging to network other than module.

• the device is already assigned to another network or has not been assigned to any network. It is necessary to

perform EXCLUDE function on the device and then again perform INCLUDE and ASSOCIATE functions.

5 Exemplary configuration of electrical accessories with the ZWMA

module.

Blinds were connected to 15VDC (5) power supply and with the use of Primary (6) controller
added to the Z-Wave network. In order to control the blind with the switch (4), also ZWMA module (1) was
added to the same Z-Wave network with the use of LEARN MODE function (see section 4.1 of the manual) as
a Secondary controller. Reverse situation is also possible when the ZWMA module is a Primary controller, then
using additional controllers within the network is not required. Exemplary blind switch chosen by a client (4)
alternately short circuits the proper inputs (here up and down arrows) with appropriate COM input in ZWMA
module (as shown in Figure 9). Short circuit activates sending appropriate.
