POWER AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION

The device allows for active power and energy consumption monitoring. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller. Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-controller technology, assuring maximum accuracy and precision (+/- 1% for loads 10W-1000W). Electric active power – power that the energy receiver is changing into work and heat. The unit of active power is Watt [W]. Electric energy – energy consumed by a device through a time period. Consumers of electricity in households are billed by suppliers on the basis of active power used in a given unit of time. Most commonly measured in kilowatt-hours [kWh]. One kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over a period of one hour, 1kWh = 1000Wh.
Caution. The device stores periodically (every hour) the consumption data in the device memory. Disconnecting the module from the power supply will not erase stored energy consumption data.
Note. Power measurement can contain mains voltage fluctuations within +/- 10%.

Resetting consumption memory
The device allows erasing stored consumption data in three ways:

• Using the functionality of a Z-Wave controller (see the controller’s manual).
• Manually clearing the data using the following procedure:
  1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse).
  2. Remove the device from the wall switch box.
  3. Switch on the mains voltage.
  4. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu.
  5. Wait for the visual LED indicator to glow green.
  6. Quickly release and click the B-button again.
  7. Energy consumption memory will be erased.
• By resetting the device (see the “Operating roller blinds” section).

ASSOCIATIONS

Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).
The device provides the association of 3 groups:
1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning a single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “Roller Shutter” is assigned to shutter position control – UP/DOWN (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
3rd association group – “Slats” is assigned to slats position control – UP/DOWN (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
The device in the 2nd and 3rd groups allows controlling 5 regular or multichannel devices per association group, with the exception of “LifeLine” is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.

Z-WAVE RANGE TEST

The device has a built-in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester. To make the Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.
Note. The communication mode of the device may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

Testing Z-Wave range
Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range:

1.  Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse).
2.  Remove the device from the wall switch box.
3.  Switch on the mains voltage.
4.  Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu.
5.  Wait for the visual LED indicator to glow violet.
6.  Quickly release and click the B-button again.
7.  The visual indicators will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signaling modes described below).
8. To exit the Z-Wave range test, click the B-button.

Z-Wave range tester signaling modes

Visual indicator pulsing green – the device attempts to establish direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signaled by a visual indicator pulsing yellow.
Visual indicator glowing green – the device communicates with the main controller directly.
Visual indicator pulsing yellow – the device tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
Visual indicator glowing yellow – the device communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish direct communication with the main controller, which will be signaled with a visual indicator pulsing green.
Visual indicator pulsing violet – the device does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If the connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It’s not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
Visual indicator glowing red – the device is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device
(repeater).

ACTIVATING SCENES
