WA105DBZ-1

Radio Frequency Controlled

Wireless Siren & Strobe

NOTE: This unit must be “included in the Network” only where it will be permanently installed. The proper operation of this node in the mesh network is dependent on it knowing its location with respect to other nodes. You cannot “test bench” conﬁ gure this module, then install.

WA105DBZ-1 WIRELESS SIREN & STROBE

Linear’s family of Z-Wave™ certiﬁ ed wireless lighting controls (switches, dimmers, outlets and plug-in modules) and Security devices (alert sounder, passive infrared sensor and door/window transmitter) brings a new level of intelligent wireless capability to commercial and residential environments.

The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote home automation, security and other applications. Embedded in each device, the Z-Wave smart chip enables two-way RF communication among hundreds of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing products and services from multiple manufacturers to work seamlessly.

Linear Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability with security and health monitoring systems, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.

As part of a Z-Wave network, the WA105DBZ-1 will also act as a wireless repeater to insure that commands intended for another device in the network are received. This is useful when the device would otherwise be out of the radio range of the wireless controller.

For indoor use only. Retain instructions for future use.

INSTALLATION

1. Remove the bracket from the siren by press the locking tab, and then gently slide

up the siren.

2. Knock out the thin wall on the bracket.

3. Feed the power line from the AC adapter through the hole on bracket and connect to

the screw terminal on WA105DBZ-1.

For “Inclusion” to (adding to) a network:

Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this module under the command of the Wireless Controller.

4. Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network by adding it to a group (method of adding a node to the network). Refer to controller instructions.

5. If your Controller supports Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) locate the WA105DBZ-1 near the proposed installation location. If not skip to Step 8.

6. With your Controller in Inclusion mode, plug the unit’s AC adapter into an electrical socket. Note that it will take 6 to 8 hours to fully charge the internal battery backup.

7. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was included” in the network. It should display binary switch / Linear. The LED will stop blinking. Skip to Step 11.

If the LED does not stop blinking, relocate the WA105DBZ-1 to within 100 feet (line of sight) of a Z-Wave device or your hub and repeat Step 6. If the LED continues to blink, your Controller does not support NWI and continue with Step 8.

8. Place the WA105DBZ-1 within 3 feet of the Controller.

9. Plug included AC adapter into a standard wall outlet. Note that it will take 6 to 8 hours

to fully charge the internal battery backup.

10. With your controller in Inclusion mode, depress the Tamper switch for 1 second then release. The LED light will begin blinking.

11. You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was included” in the network. It should display binary switch / Linear. The LED will stop blinking.

12. The device will appear in the list of Switches.

13. Using the screws or adhesive tape afﬁ x the bracket at the chosen location.

14. Place the WA105DBZ-1 back onto the bracket.

15. After 5 seconds, the WA105DBZ-1 will activate Tamper mode.

✓ NOTE: If you have trouble adding the WA105DBZ-1 to a group it may be that the

Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must ﬁ rst “RESET UNIT” with your controller to remove it from the network. Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it from a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group, it functions as a repeater (only). “RESET UNIT” removes it completely from the network.

For “Exclusion” from (removing from) a network:

1. Set up the Z-Wave™ Interface Controller into “exclusion” mode, and following its instruction to delete the WA105DBZ-1 from the controller.

2. Press the tamper switch of WA105DBZ-1 for 1 second and release to be excluded. The LED light will ﬂ ash continuously when the sensor is in the Exclusion condition.

BASIC OPERATION

When triggered, the WA105DBZ-1 will trigger for 30 seconds (default setting). During that time the siren will emit a very loud pulsating audible alarm at 105 db. The integrated strobe light will also ﬂ ash during the 30 seconds.

✘ CAUTION: This is an extremely loud siren, do not place it near your ear.

LED Indication

The LED on the WA105DBZ-1 will not be on during normal operation.

Remote Control

The WA105DBZ-1 will respond to BASIC and BINARY commands that are part of the Z-Wave system. Refer to your controller’s instructions as to whether your controller can transmit those commands.

CONFIGURATION

The WA105DBZ-1 supports the Conﬁ guration command. The WA105DBZ-1 can be conﬁ gured to operate slightly differently than how it works when you ﬁ rst install it. Using the Conﬁ guration command you can conﬁ gure the following:

Parameter 0: Siren / Strobe Mode

By default, the siren and strobe on the WA105DBZ-1 will activate when turned on. To activate the Siren only, set parameter 0 to 1. For strobe only set to 2.

• Parameter No: 0

• Length: 1 Byte

• Valid Values = 0 (default) or 1 or 2. Default is 0.

Parameter 1: Auto Stop Time

By default the auto stop time is 30 seconds. Setting parameter 1 to 1 will increase the time to 60 seconds. Changing it to 2 will increase the stop time to 120 seconds. Setting the stop time to 3 will turn off the auto stop and will require a command from the Controller to turn off.

• Parameter No: 1

• Length: 1 Byte

• Valid Values = 0 or 1 or 2 or 3. Default is 0.

Default Setting

Each conﬁ guration Parameter can be set to its default setting by setting the default bit in the Conﬁ guration Set command. See your controller’s instructions on how to do this (and if it supports it).

All conﬁ guration commands will be reset to their default state when the WA105DBZ-1 is excluded from the Z-Wave network by using the controller to reset the node.

IMPORTANT !!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ﬁ ll an important need in por table 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 to the device may void FCC compliance.

• 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.
