Smoke Detector

Firmware Version : 1.0

Quick Start

S

This device is a wireless Z-Wave sensor. Exclusion, Inclusion are confirmed by hitting the programm
button for 1 sec when the sensor is removed from the mounting ring and the tamper switch is released. A
wakeup is performed hitting the programm button for 1 sec when the sensor is not removed from the
mounting ring and the tamper switch is not released.

Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.

What is Z-Wave?

This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the

international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the
frequency of 868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each message is reconfirmed
(two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed
network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.

Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or
measured data or actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered
controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated remote controls (R). This results in a
number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are partly or completely supported
by a specific device.

1.

Controllers control actuators

2.

Actuators report change of status back to controller

3.

Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller

4.

Sensors directly control actuators

5.

Actuators control other actuators

6.

Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions

7.

Remote controls control other actuators.

There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the
network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other
controllers don't manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The
image also shows that its not possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with
static controllers.

Product description

The Z-Wave compatible smoke detector from Popp detects reliably emerging fires in your house and safes
life and estate of your family. Recoginzing fires primary works free of radioactivity with the help of a
photoelectric sensor, which reacts on smoke particle concentrations between 1.31 % and 2.28 %.
Additionally, the smoke detector contains a temperature sensor, which is used parallelly for detecting fires,
avoiding false alarm and at the same time measuring the temperature in the room.

According to the guidelines, the smoke detector warns via a light signal and a siren. This siren has a defined
volume of 0.11 to 0.165 dB/m.

The device comes along with a modern design. It is easy to install and easy for professional installers to
open for cleaning. A lock prevents the installation of the device without battery. The automatic self­calibration and self-test increase the reliability of the device. After the installation a manual system test can
be done by pushing the key button on the device. The smoke detector has a wireless connection to the Z­Wave network. The measured values of the temperature sensor, the humidity sensor and the current battery
level can be read out by a Z-Wave controller. A regular status report of the sensor enables a comfortable
centralized management of many devices. It generates different alarm signals that either are received and
evaluated by a central Z-Wave controller or can control switching actions of other Z-Wave devices (e.g.
turning on/ off the light) directly:

Fire alarm (displayed locally by light and audio)
Battery level warning, when the battery power level drops below 20% (shown locally by light and short audio)
Tamper protection if the device is removed from the bracket
Fall above or below a temperature range (thresholds can be programmed wirelessly via Z-Wave)
Fall above or below a humidity range (thresholds can be programmed wirelessly via Z-Wave)

Batteries

The unit is operated by batteries. Use only batteries of correct type. Never mix old and new batteries in the
same device. Used batteries contain hazardous substances and should not be disposed of with household
waste!

Battery Type: 1 * CR123A

Installation Guidelines

Remove the bracket from the detector by rotating it counter-clockwise.
Place the bracket where you are going to install the detector. In each of keyhole slots, draw a mark to locate
plastic anchor and screw. Using a 3/16-inch (5mm) drill bit, drills two holes at the marks and insert plastic
anchor, and attached the bracket by using the screws.
Open the battery cover to insert the batteries, and then replace the cover. Fix the detector with bracket by
rotating it clockwise.

Please follow the recommendations about amount as position of the sensor in your home as given above.
Avoid to place the sensor into the angle of walls, prefer positions in the middle of the room.

Behavior within the Z-Wave network

I

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to join an
existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also leave a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the
primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion
mode. Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion or
exclusion mode. Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or exclusion mode, this device can join or leave
the network. Leaving the network - i.e. being excluded - sets the device back to factory default.

If the device already belongs to a network, follow the exclusion process before including it in your network.
Otherwise inclusion of this device will fail. If the controller being included was a primary controller, it has to
be reset first.
