Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Lock:

   Ensure your Alfred ML2 or DB2S smart lock is powered off or remove the batteries to prevent accidental operation during installation. Locate the battery compartment on the interior side of the lock.

3. Insert the Module:

   Carefully align the ZW2-PRO module with the slot and gently push it in until it is fully seated. Ensure it clicks into place or feels securely connected. Do not force the module.

4. Reinstall Batteries:

   Once the module is installed, reinsert the batteries into your smart lock. The lock should power on as usual.

Z-Wave Network Pairing:

After physical installation, the module needs to be paired with your Z-Wave smart home hub.

1. Initiate Inclusion Mode on Hub:

   Refer to your Z-Wave hub's instruction manual to put it into "inclusion" or "add device" mode. This process varies by hub (e.g., Vera/Ezlo, SmartThings, Hubitat).

2. Activate Pairing on Lock:

   On your Alfred smart lock, follow the specific instructions for initiating Z-Wave pairing. This typically involves entering a programming code and pressing a specific button or sequence on the lock's keypad. Consult your ML2 or DB2S lock's manual for exact steps.

3. Confirm Pairing:

   Your Z-Wave hub should detect the new module and add it to your network. The lock may provide an audible or visual confirmation of successful pairing. Name the device within your hub's interface for easy identification.

4. Test Functionality:

   Once paired, test the lock's functionality through your Z-Wave hub. You should be able to lock and unlock the door remotely and receive status updates.
