Steps.
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the Unlock button LEFT, then pull the cover off.
2. Insert 1x CR123A lithium batteries orientated according to the diagram within your sensor.
Try inserting the batteries flat rather than at an angle.
WARNING:Not compatible with rechargeable CR123A batteries (3.6V).
3. You can close up the TriSensor 8 by placing the cover back on at an angle, but I would recommend doing this once you are done pairing the sensor to your Z-
Wave network. So hold of on doing this so that you can reach the Action button on the TriSensor 8.
Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The
inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send
out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action: Press button 3 times.
Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is
significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox.
Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this
controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the
device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: Press and hold the button for 3 seconds.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
Firmware-Update over the Air
This device is capable of receiving a new firmware 'over the air'. The update function needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the
update process, perform the following action to confirm the firmware update: You can find OTA Update by Aeotec.
Association - one device controls an other device
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are
always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.
Association Groups:
Group Number Maximum Nodes Description
1 5 Lifeline
2 5 Motion (Basic Set)
3 5 Over Heat (Basic Set)
4 5 Under Heat (Basic Set)
5 5 Over light (Basic Set)
6 5 Under Light (Basic Set)
7 5 Temperature (Multisensor)
Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.
