Quick Start: Insert your batteries

Your Aeotec by Aeon Labs Panic Button uses wireless technology to communicate with your Z-Wave network. To prepare it for setup and use, you must insert its batteries.

1. Slide the rear battery cover away from your remote to expose the battery compartment.
2. Insert the provided battery into the compartment, ensuring that the positive (+) side of the battery, which is the flatter side with text, is facing up.
3. Reattach the rear battery cover to your remote and firmly close it.

Visual guide for battery insertion:

• Step 1: The back of the Panic Button is shown.
• Step 2: The battery is being inserted with the '+' side up.
• Step 3: The battery is correctly seated.
• Step 4: The battery cover is being reattached.

For an Existing Z-Wave Network

Your Panic Button can be set up as a secondary remote control for your Z-Wave network. This is ideal for including it in an existing Z-Wave network. You will need to be near your existing primary Z-Wave controller and have the Panic Button with you.

1. Press the Include/Remove button on your primary Z-Wave controller. If you are unsure how to do this, refer to its user manual.
2. Using the provided Button pin, press the Learn button on the Panic Button. Its green LED will begin to pulse.
3. Once the two devices have exchanged information, the green LED on the Panic Button will stay lit for 2 seconds.

Visual guide for button functions:

• The Panic Button has labels indicating:
• Main Action Button: The large button on top.
• +/- (Include/Remove): A button at the bottom.
• Learn: Another button at the bottom, often accessed with the pin.
• Green/Red LED: An indicator light on the device.

Your Panic Button will now function as a remote control within your Z-Wave network, allowing it to control associated devices and act as a tool for adding or removing devices to/from your Z-Wave network.

For a New Z-Wave Network

Your Panic Button can be set up as the primary controller of a Z-Wave network. This is ideal for situations where you do not already have a Z-Wave network set up, or you are starting out with a small one. In this case, you need to associate your Z-Wave devices with the Panic Button, which will, by default, set up a new Z-Wave network. To do this, refer to 'Adding devices to your Z-Wave network' in the Advanced Functions section of this manual and follow the instructions.

What happens in the case of an emergency

With your Panic Button now working within your Z-Wave network, you can configure it to perform specific actions in the event of an emergency. Your Panic Button can activate or turn on any device within the network. During the following steps, you will associate Z-Wave devices with your Panic Button and define how it will affect them. For example, your Panic Button might be configured to open a motorized blind to 50% of its height. Ensure that each Z-Wave device is not already in the desired outcome state before beginning; for instance, your motorized blind should be fully closed.

1. Press and hold your Panic Button's Main Action Button. Your Panic Button's green LED will pulse quickly when it is ready to communicate with other Z-Wave devices.
2. Press the Z-Wave network button on the device you wish to activate in the event of an emergency. If you are unsure how to do this, refer to its user manual.
3. If your Panic Button and the Z-Wave device are successfully communicating, your Panic Button's green LED will stop blinking and remain solidly illuminated for 2 seconds.
4. Change the Z-Wave device's status to match the desired outcome of your emergency scene. For instance, turn your Z-Wave device from off to on if that is what you want your Panic Button to do. In the previous example, you would set your motorized blind to be 50% open.
5. Release the Main Action Button you held down in step 1.

If the event that your Panic Button's green LED does not change in step 3, it is unable to communicate with your Z-Wave device. If this occurs, repeat the process, ensuring that your primary Z-Wave controller is in Include mode and that both your Panic Button and your Z-Wave device are within 3 meters of each other.

If you want your Panic Button to control multiple devices, repeat the above steps.

Advanced Functions: Adding devices to your Z-Wave network

When set up within your network, the Panic Button can add Z-Wave devices to the same network.

1. Press and release the Include/Remove button. Your Panic Button's green LED will pulse slowly.
2. Press the Z-Wave network button on the device you wish to add. If you are unsure how to do this, refer to its user manual.
3. Once the device has been included, the green LED on the Panic Button will stay lit for 2 seconds, then blink again.
4. Repeat step 2 for any other devices you wish to add to your network.
5. Once you are finished, press any button on the Panic Button to exit device inclusion mode.

Removing devices from your emergency scenario

In the Quick Start part of this manual, you set up what would happen in the event of an emergency by associating particular Z-Wave devices with your Panic Button. There may come a time when you no longer wish for this to be the case. To remove a device from your Panic Button's control:

1. Press and hold your Panic Button's action button. Your remote's green LED will blink quickly when it is ready to understand which devices you no longer want it to control.
2. Press the Z-Wave network button on the device you wish to remove. If you are unsure how to do this, refer to its user manual.
3. Your Panic Button's green LED will stop blinking and its red LED will illuminate for 2 seconds.
4. Release the Main Action Button you held down in step 1. Your Panic Button will now stop communicating with the removed Z-Wave device.
5. Repeat the above steps for any other Z-Wave devices you do not want your Panic Button to directly control.

Resetting your Panic Button

If you ever want to completely reset your Panic Button's settings, you can.

1. Using the provided Button pin, press and hold both the Learn and Include/Remove buttons for 10 seconds.
2. If successful, the green and red LED on the front of your Panic Button will blink in an alternate pattern, followed by the green LED illuminating for 2 seconds.
3. If unsuccessful, the red LED will illuminate for 2 seconds. If this occurs, repeat the process again.

Using the remote for non-emergencies

[TIP] While it's been designed for emergency situations, you may choose to use the convenience of the button's one-button remote control functionality for other scenarios. In this case, the primary button can be used to communicate with Z-Wave devices such as lighting or garage doors. An additional functionality you may choose to use is dimming.

When held down, the Main Action Button will send up and down instructions to any compatible Z-Wave devices associated with it. With a dimmable light, holding down the Main Action Button would cause it to brighten or dim depending on its current level of brightness.

Informing a gateway of an emergency

[TIP] While your Panic Button can directly control Z-Wave devices, your Z-Wave network may use a Z-Wave gateway as its central controller. If so, you can instruct the gateway to perform specific actions in the event of an emergency. This includes using your Panic Button to inform your gateway that an emergency is occurring. How you define an emergency and its outcome is up to you. For instance, you may set up a gateway to send a text message when your Panic Button is activated.

Each gateway is different, and you will need to refer to its manual or help files to create an emergency scenario. A scenario might be as follows:

1. When pressed, your Panic Button should activate a siren. It will send a signal to your gateway to activate an emergency scene/scenario.
2. Your gateway will receive the command from your Panic Button.
3. Your siren will turn on.

Z-Wave gateways can provide functionality such as recording video and sending emails, all of which can be relevant to an emergency situation.
