Quick Start

A

This is a Z-Wave actuator. Inclusion and Exklusion are confirmed by hitting the button one time.

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 TKB TZ68 is a switch plug that can be placed between a schuko wall outlet and electric devices,
plugged in by cord. It can switch all loads up to 3500 W. The device is IP 20 rated and can therefore only be
used in dry environments. Switching is controlled wirelessly using Z-Wave or locally applying a button. A
blue LED indicates the switching status.

Before Device is installed

Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the radio-actuator, in order to ensure
an error-free functioning.

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation
guidelines/norms may do works with 230?Volt mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the
voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

The product is permitted only for proper use as specified in the user manual. Any kind of guarantee claim
has to be forfeited if changes, modifications or painting are undertaken. The product must be checked for
damages immediately after unpacking. In the case of damages, the product must not be operated in any
case. If a danger-free operation of the equipment cannot be assured, the voltage supply has to be
interrupted immediately and the equipment has to be protected from unintended operation.

Installation Guidelines

The Switch Plug can be plugged into every wall outlet for Plug-Type G Britisch Standard. It is IP20 rated and
can therefore only be used in dry environments. Do not locate the device facing direct sunlight, humid or
dusty place. The suitable ambient temperature for the device is 0°C ~ 40°C.

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
