Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or
may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage
resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment
only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or
batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.
What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for
use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming
every message (two-way communication) and every mains
powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed
network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of
the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can
be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device
regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for
the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this
device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of
security to maintain backward compatibility.
