Linear HUSBZB-1 User Manual

INTRODUCTION

HubZ is a USB v2.0 full speed low power Z-Wave and ZigBee adapter in a USB Stick form factor. When plugged into computer or similar host device, it appears as two (2) serial ports. This device requires an application from a third party to operate. When power is supplied through the USB port, a blue LED on the front will be illuminated. Once the user application is running, the LED may be used to display various types of status information.

Z-WAVE OPERATION

HubZ is an independently controlled Z-Wave static controller that requires an application from a third party to operate. The application will control such functions as Inclusion, Exclusion and Replication.

Inclusion – The process of adding a node into the Z-Wave network

Exclusion – The process of removing a node from the Z-Wave network

Replication – The process of copying network information from one controller to another

This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certiﬁ ed 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.

ZIGBEE OPERATION

HubZ is effectively a USB to UART bridge connected to a Silicon Labs EM3581 ZigBee module that allows connectivity to a computer’s USB port.

UPGRADE ABILITY

HubZ is designed to support ﬁ rmware upgrades via the USB port.

IMPORTANT !!!

Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ﬁ ll an important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

•For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

•A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.

•Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

•Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.

•A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
