DCH-Z310 Z-Wave Smoke Alarm
The DCH-Z310 mydlinkTM Z-Wave Smoke Alarm is designed to give
early warning of developing fires by giving off the alarm sounds from
its build-in alarm horn, based on Z-WaveTM technology.
It is the Z-WaveTM plus product, it supports the security, OTA... Those
newest features of the Z-WaveTM technology. Z-WaveTM is a wireless
communication protocol designed for home automation, specifically to
remotely control applications in residential and light commercial
environments. The technology uses a low-power RF radio embedded or
retrofitted into home electronics devices and systems, such as lighting,
home access control, entertainment systems and household appliances.
This product can be included and operated in any Z-WaveTM network
with other Z-WaveTM certified devices from other manufacturers and/or
other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network
will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the
network.
The device adopts the Z-WaveTM 500 series chip, when your Z-WaveTM
network system is all made by Z-WaveTM 500 series devices. The
network system will have the advantages as below.
Concurrent multi-channel support reduces external interference.
Better RF range, improve about 10 meters in indoor.
Support 100 Kbps transmit speed, speed up communication.
Add to/Remove from Z-WaveTM Network
There is one button on the device. It can be used to add, remove, reset
or association from Z-WaveTM network.
In the first time, add the device into the Z-WaveTM network. First,
make sure the primary controller is in the add mode. And then insert
battery to power on the device. Press the button once to start the NWI
(Network Wide Inclusion) mode. And it should be added in 5 seconds.
Notice: Including a node ID allocated by Z-WaveTM Controller means
“Add” or “Inclusion”. Excluding a node ID allocated by Z-WaveTM
Controller means “Remove” or “Exclusion”.

button once. The device will wake-up 10 seconds.
Z-WaveTM Message Report
When Smoke Sensor detects, the device will report the trigger event
and also report the battery status.
In default the device will use Notification Report to represent the
trigger event, it can be changed to Sensor Binary Report by setting the
configuration NO. 7 Bit4 to 1.
* Smoke Detected/Test Report:
When the Smoke Sensor detects smoke, the device will unsolicited to
send the smoke detected (0x02) report to the nodes in the group 1.
When the device is in alarm test mode, the device will unsolicited to
send the Smoke Sensor test (0x03) report to the nodes in the group 1.

status.
Power Up Procedure
* NWI
When the device power on, the device will check is it already adding to
the network? If doesn't, press the button to start the NWI mode. Until
timeout or the device successful to inclusion by controller. NWI mode
can be aborted by pressing the button 3 times.
* Wake
When the device power on, the device will wake about 20 seconds. In
this duration, the controller can communicate with the device. Normally
the device is always sleeping to save the battery energy.
Over The Air (OTA) Firmware Update
The device supports the Z-Wave firmware update via OTA.
Let the controller into the firmware update mode, and then press the
button once to start the update.
Please don't remove the battery
, otherwise it will cause the
firmware broken, and the device will no function.
After update finish, it is recommended that the user power up the

Test Alarm
Test the sensor by pushing firmly on the test button for around 2
seconds until the horn sounds, the sound pattern is 3 beeps, pause,
and then 3 beeps with red LED flashing continuously and rapidly, and
the controller will receive Smoke alarm test notification. If the Smoke
Sensor beeps three with yellow LED flashing three times in 43 seconds,
it indicates the Smoke Sensor is not working properly, i t requires to be
repaired.
This is the only way to make sure that the Smoke Sensor device is
working properly. If the device fails to test properly, have it repaired or
replaced immediately. If you suspect that your Smoke Sensor does not
4
go into alarm, test it by pressing the test button to ensure if it works
properly.
Notice : To keep the Smoke Sensor in good working condition,
testing the device weekly is necessary.
Tamper Switch Feature
If the Smoke Sensor is not mounted into the bracket properly, the
tamper function is triggered and the yellow LED is steadily on.
You will hear temporal three sound with yellow LED steadily on
until Smoke Sensor is mounted back into bracket properly.
Battery Installation
If your controller receive low battery alarm and, this signal means that
the Smoke Sensor's battery is weak. When the device report the low
battery message. The user should replace the battery to new one to
secure your protection. The battery type is CR123A, 3.0V.
The way to open the front cover please follow below steps.
1. Open battery compartment.
2. Install battery into compartment and make sure the “+” and “-
”ends of each battery are aligned properly.
3. After battery is installed in compartment, you will hear a chirp
which indicates the device is receiving battery power.
Choosing a Suitable Location
For complete coverage in residential units, Smoke Sensors should be
installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements and attics in each
family living unit. Minimum coverage is one sensor on each floor and
one in each sleeping area.
1. Install Smoke Sensor as close to the center of ceiling as possible.
If this is not practical, put the sensor on the ceiling, no closer
than 4inches(10 cm) from any wall or corner.
2. If ceiling mounting is not possible, put wall-mounted sensors
between 4 and 6 inches(10~15 cm) from the ceiling.
3. If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings,
try to mount sensors 3 feet(0.9 meter) measure horizontally
from the highest point of ceiling.
Nuisance alarms take place when Smoke Sensors are installed where
they will no work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install
Smoke Sensors in the following situations:
* Combustion particles are the by-products of something that is burning.
Thus, in or near areas where combustion particles are present you do
not install the Smoke Sensors to avoid nuisance alarms, such as
kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages where there
may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters, and space
heaters.
* Do not install Smoke Sensors less than 20 feet (6 meters) away from
places where combustion particles are normally present, like kitchens.

If a 20-foot distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install
the alarm as far away from the combustion particles as possible,
preferably on the wall. To prevent nuisance alarm alarms, provide good
ventilation in such places.
* In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the
alarm’s sensing chamber, to make it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust
or dirt can block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the alarm
from sensing smoke.
* Near fluorescent lights, electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may
cause nuisance alarms. Install Smoke Sensor at least 5 feet(1.5 meters)
from such lights.
Installation
1. At the place where you are going to install your Smoke Sensor,
draw a horizontal line six inches long.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from your device by rotating it
counterclockwise.
3. Place the bracket so that the two longest hold slots are aligned
on the line. In each of keyhole slots, drawing a mark to locate a
mounting plug and screw.
4. Remove the bracket.
5. Drill two holes at the marks and insert plastic wall plugs. Put the
Smoke Sensor away from plastic dust.
6. Attach the bracket to the wall. Line up the slots of the bracket
and the Smoke Sensor. Push the sensor onto the mounting
bracket on turn it clockwise to fix it into the place. Pull onward
on the Smoke Sensor to make sure it is securely attached to the
mounting bracket.
