Quick Start

A This is a Z-Wave actuator.

Inclusion and exclusion are performed by clicking the button on the back of the device three times. This
button can also be used to wake up the device. This device supports a secure connections via Z-Wave Plus.

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 Popp Z-Weather station was designed for the outdoor use and gathers all relevant data regarding the
weather.

The Z-Weather station continuously measures the velocity and can, for example, close and open the blinds and
awnings according to it. It also measures the rotation which allows a calculation of the wind yield per day and
year. Moreover the Z-Weather station has sensors to measure the humidity, temperature, barometric pressure
and dew point. This way all critical data is covered and saved.

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 * SuperCap/Solar

Installation Guidelines

The device can be installed on nearly every surface. It is recommended to install it with the wind pedals on
top and with the solar panel facing in a direction where it can collect enough sunlight. For full functionality
the Z-Weather station is to be placed in a location where it can reliably measure the velocity. The device
should always be in range to the main controller to make sure the data is sent correctly.

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
