Z-Wave Plus Guide

Installing Z-Wave Devices

You can install one or more (up to 232) Z-Wave devices of various types to remotely monitor the site. For example, you can install switches, door locks, garage door controllers, or thermostats.

Adding a Z-Wave Device

The gateway must be no more than 12 feet from a lamp module or 5 feet from a thermostat or door lock during installation. You can move the Z-Wave devices to their permanent locations after installation is complete.

To install a Z-Wave Device:

1. Click Pulse Devices, and then click Switches, Door Locks, Thermostats, Others. The Z-Wave Devices list screen appears.
2. Click Add. The system searches for any Z-Wave devices; in this example, a thermostat.
3. Click the Z-Wave device's "include" button. If you are adding a Z-Wave device with S2 security to an in-home gateway model number PGZNG1 v2, a dialog will prompt you for the 5-digit DSK (Device Specific Key).

Follow the instructions on the dialog:

• Locate the 5-digit DSK on the Z-Wave device.
• Enter the 5-digit DSK.
• For assistance in locating the DSK, click the information (i) icon on the dialog.

Where to Find the 5-digit DSK

Labels on Z-Wave 500 Series Device

Example DSK: 02471-35757-51947-39161-27900-02846-55580-25064 (This is a sample and may not be a valid DSK).

Press Continue.

When the system finds the Z-Wave device, it adds it to the site, and opens the Z-Wave Devices list screen. If the device is a supported device, the system identifies the device type.

Click on the newly added Z-Wave device list item.

The Device Details screen appears.

In the Name field, enter a name for the Z-Wave device, and then click Save. The new device appears in the list of Z-Wave devices.

To edit a Z-Wave device:

Click on the device in the Z-Wave Devices list to open the Z-Wave Device Details screen. Make changes and click Save.

To delete a Z-Wave device:

Click on the device in the Z-Wave Devices list to open the Z-Wave Device Details screen. Click the Remove button.

Refreshing the Z-Wave Mesh Network

When you add a set of Z-Wave devices, or if you add a new device to an existing Z-Wave network, you should refresh the Z-Wave mesh network. This allows the network to communicate efficiently.

To refresh the Z-Wave mesh network:

1. Click Pulse Devices, and then click Switches, Door Locks, Thermostats, Others. The Z-Wave Devices list screen appears.
2. Click the Refresh Mesh button. A confirmation dialog appears. Ensure that all Z-Wave devices are positioned in their final location before refreshing the mesh. Depending on the number of Z-Wave devices installed, mesh refresh can take up to 30 minutes. Z-Wave devices cannot be edited until mesh refresh is complete.
3. Click Refresh Mesh.

Resetting a Z-Wave Device

If you have trouble adding a Z-Wave device, it might need to be reset.

To reset a Z-Wave device:

1. Click Pulse Devices, and then click Switches, Door Locks, Thermostats, Others. The Z-Wave Devices list screen appears.
2. Click on the Reset button. Press and release the 'include' button to reset a device. If the device is already added to the system, then it will be deleted.
3. Click the Z-Wave device's "include" button. The Z-Wave device resets.
4. If you are finished resetting devices, click Done.

Association Groups

The in-home gateway Model PGNGZ1-v2 supports the following association groups.

Resetting the Gateway

You should not have to factory reset the gateway at all. However, if you encounter a problem during installation and/or a procedure in this document instructs you to reset it, follow this procedure.

To reset a gateway:

1. Ensure the gateway is connected to an AC power outlet and it has been turned on for at least one minute. (Typically the Power LED is solid green.)
2. Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the gateway with an unbent paperclip, for approximately 10 seconds.
3. Release the Reset button when all the LED lights on the gateway start to blink amber.
4. The reset process is complete when the Power LED on the front of the gateway turns solid green.

Note: If this controller is the primary controller for your network, resetting it will result in the nodes in your network being orphaned and it will be necessary after the reset to remove and re-add all of the nodes in the network. If this controller is being used as a secondary controller in the network, use this procedure to reset this controller only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
