USER MANUAL ZHS03

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Schwaiger ZHS03 pro­duct. Below you will find useful operating guidelines.

Product description

Not only can both Z-Wave devices be controlled directly with the Z-Wave.Me wireless wall switch, but
in an IP gateway different scenes can be activated. Although the wireless wall switch controls devices
directly, it cannot as Z-Wave controller manage their networks but always requires an additional con
troller for inclusion and exclusion. The device can operate in different modes, which are determined
by configuration parameters:

1. Control groups of other Z-Wave devices with „ON“, „OFF“ and dimming commands.

2. Control of devices in the vicinity of the fob with „ALL ON“ or „ALL OFF“ - commands.

3. Activation of pre-defined scenes in gateways or other Z-Wave devices.

Installation guidelines

The device is delivered in working condition with a built-in battery. In this default condition simply
pressing on one of the buttons - since the device is not included in a network and therefore unable
to send a message - will result in an error code (flashing red LED). In this manner the operational
readiness of the device can be tested.

The device can be mounted on every level and dry sur­face, either with screws or double-sided tape. First the
base plate is secured to the wall. In the next step, the
switching element is secured to the frame. The electron
ics module is used to fix the frame to the base plate,
as shown in the figure. Finally, the rocker switches are
mounted on the electronics module.

For a battery change the rocker switches must be re
moved. The CR battery can be replaced by pressing the
small locking tab above the battery.

Logging in (inclusion) or logging out
(exclusion) of the sensor.

The device operates in normal control mode or in man­agement mode. Pushing all four buttons for 5 sec. will
turn the device into management mode (indicated by
blinking green LED). The management mode will time
out after 10 seconds if no further button is pushed.
Button 1 confirms standard inclusion or exclusion
started by a primary controller, button 2 issues a Node
Information Frame or wakeup notification, button 4 is
used to add devices into association groups and button
1 confirms inclusion or exclusion in NWI (network wide
inclusion) mode.

The device distinguishes between two operating modes: standard and
management mode

Standard mode:

In this mode, the wireless wall switch can control other devices or activate scenes.

Management mode:

The device is switched to management mode when all four buttons are held down together for at least
5 seconds. A slow flashing green LED confirms the management mode. In management mode the
buttons have other functions. Without further button operation, the unit will return to standard mode
in 10 seconds. Each operation also ends the management mode.

In management mode the following actions can be performed:

Button 1

Network-wide inclusion: the device can be added to a Z-Wave network from anywhere in the network.
This requires a primary controller that supports explorer frames. This mode lasts 20 seconds and stops
automatically. Touching any key also stops the mode.

Button 2

Sends node information frame and wake-up messages (as outlined in the following chapters).

Button 3

Standard inclusion/exclusion mode: the device is directed by a controller of direct wireless range.
Touching any button stops the mode. An exclusion of the device from a network resets the device to
its factory defaults.

Button 4

Set associations: to assign target devices to one of the 4 association groups

Batteries

This device is battery-operated. Use only batteries of the specified type.
Used batteries contain hazardous substances and must not be disposed of with household waste!
Battery type: 1 x CR2032

Performance of the device in the Z-Wave network

When delivered the device is not connected to a Z-Wave network. It must be integrated into a Z-Wave
network so that it can communicate with other Z-Wave devices. This process is called Z-Wave inclu
sion. Devices can also be removed from networks again. This process is called Z-Wave exclusion.
Both processes are started from a controller that must be connected to an inclusion and/or exclusion
mode. The manual of the controller contains information on how it is to be connected in these modes.
Devices can only be added when the controller of the Z-Wave network is in inclusion mode. Leaving
the network through exclusion will reset this device to its factory defaults.
Bring your Z-Wave controller in the inclusion mode. Bring your wireless wall switch in management
mode and press button 3. The device is included and/or excluded locally by pressing key 3 in man
agement mode. In order to include and/or exclude the device network-wide button 1 in management
mode must be pressed.

Operation of the device

Depending on the mode and further configuration the device can be set differently.

Standard mode:

Controlling a group with 2 buttons (This is the default setting). One group (no. 1) of the equipment

is controlled with buttons 1 and 3; the other group (no. 2) is controlled with buttons 2 and 4. Buttons 1
and 2 switch the actuators „ON,“ buttons 3 and 4 switch the actuators „OFF.“ If double-click the setting
parameters #1 or #2 is activated, groups 3 and 4 can be controlled by means of short double clicking.

Dimming of devices is enabled through pressing the buttons for a long time (high-dimming with
buttons 1 and 2, low-dimming with buttons 3 and 4) and/or a short click and pressing for groups
with a double click.

A single click controls groups 1 and 3

A double click controls groups 2 and 4

Controlling a group with a button:

in this mode the groups are controlled by a respective button. Pressing a button switches „ON,“ double
clicking a button switches „OFF.“ High-dimming of devices is achieved by holding the button down
for a long time and low-dimming is achieved by clicking and holding the button. The group number
corresponds to the button number

Control commands:

The configuration parameters # 11 to # 14 regulate which commands are sent when the buttons are
pressed.

Direct control of devices occurs through „ON,“ „OFF,“ „HIGH-DIMMING“
and „DOWN-DIMMING.“

The special commands „ALL ON“ and „ALL OFF“ send a group call to all devices in direct wireless range.
The devices react according to their settings to the command „switch everything.“ This mode includes
the communication setting 7.

Simple scene control with configurable scene commands.

Devices in association groups are individually configured with the Z-Wave command class „scene
controller configuration.“ A scene can be configured via an association group. As can be seen in the
figure, the number of the scene is by default equal to the number of association group. This mode is
always used by default to activate scenes in IP gateways, but can also be used to activate predefined
scenes in other devices.

Advanced scene control:

In this mode, pressing any key will trigger a scene command with a set number. The scene number
is a combination of the group number and the defined button press action. It always consists of two
digits. The group number determines the first digit; the action determines the second digit. The fol
lowing actions are possible:
1 = on
2 = off
3 = high-dimming start
4 = low-dimming start
5 = high-dimming stop
6 = low-dimming stop

Example: clicking/double-clicking button 1 sends an activation signal for scene 11 (single-clicking)
process and scene 12 (double off, controlling a group with a button is selected). This mode includes
the communication setting 6.

Child protection

The device has a child protection mechanism. Local operation by using buttons is blocked and only
wireless operation is possible. The device can be set to child lock mode. In this mode no local control
is possible. The child lock mode can only be activated wirelessly. Only in protection mode with input
mode it is possible to disable protection by pressing any button for 5 seconds. Only in protection mode
with input mode it is possible to disable protection by pressing any button for 5 seconds. The protec
tion is activated again after 5 seconds.

Communication with a battery-powered device

The device is battery-powered and to save power it is thus usually in deep-sleep mode. In deep sleep
mode the device cannot received any wireless signals. Therefore, a static (controller) is required,
which is mains-powered and therefore always available for wireless data transmission. This controller

- for example, an IP gateway - manages a message mailbox for this battery-powered device, in which
messages to the unit can be temporary stored. Without such a static controller using this battery-pow
ered device will quickly discharge the battery or render use completely impossible.

This device regularly „wakes up,“ reports this by sending a so-called wake up notification and then
empties its mailbox in the static controller. The node ID of the controller and a wake up interval must
be defined with the inclusion. If the inclusion is carried out by means of a static controller such as an IP
gateway, this controller will automatically perform this configuration and usually offer a user interface,
to adapt the wake up interval to user needs. The wake up interval is a compromise between maximum
battery life and minimum response time of the battery-powered device.

Immediately after the inclusion the device remains awake about 2.5 seconds so that a controller can
perform configuration tasks. The device can then always be woken manually. For this, the manage
ment mode is activated (keep all four buttons pressed for 5 seconds) and then press button 2. The
minimum wake up interval is 240 seconds. However, it is highly recommended that you choose a
longer wake up interval to save battery life. If the device ID 0 is selected as the target device for the
wakeup notification, the periodic wake-up is suppressed. It is possible to specify the device number
255 as the destination device for the wake up notification. In this case, the message is sent as a
broadcast to all devices with direct wireless connection. The advantage of immediate notification is
offset by the disadvantage that, where appropriate, the device consumes more time in active mode
and thus more battery capacity.
