ZWAVE RANGE TEST
#8: Z-Wave range test
The Wall Plug has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range
tester.
Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range:
1. Press and hold the B-button.
2. Wait for the LED ring to glow violet (2nd menu position).
3. Release the B-button.
4. Click the B-button once to conrm selection.
5. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range
signalling modes described below).
6. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button briey.
Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:
Visual indicator pulsing green - the Wall Plug attempts to establish
a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct commu-
nication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed com-
munication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual
indicator pulsing yellow.
Visual indicator glowing green - the Wall Plug communicates with
the main controller directly.
Visual indicator pulsing yellow - the Wall Plug tries to establish a
routed communication with the main controller through other mod-
ules (repeaters).
Visual indicator glowing yellow - the Wall Plug communicates with
the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the
device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main
controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.
Visual indicator pulsing violet - the Wall Plug does communicate at
the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves
successful it will be conrmed with a yellow glow. It’s not recom-
mended to use the device at the range limit.
Visual indicator glowing red - the Wall Plug is not able to connect
to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network
device (repeater).
CAUTION
To make Z-Wave range
test possible, the de-
vice must be added
to the Z-Wave control-
ler. Testing may stress
the network, so it is
recommended to per-
form the test only in
special cases.
!
NOTE
Communication mode
of the Wall Plug may
switch between direct
and one using rout-
ing, especially if the
device is on the limit
of the direct range.
