Z-Wave range test
8: Z-Wave range test
The device has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range
tester.
i
To make 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.
To test the main controller’s range:
1. Press and hold the button to enter the menu.
2. Release button when the device glows magenta.
3. Quickly click the button to conrm.
4. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range
signaling modes described below).
5. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the button briey.
Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:
• Visual indicator pulsing green - the device attempts to establish
a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct com-
munication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed
communication, through other modules, which will be signalled
by 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 a direct communication with the
main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator puls-
ing green.
• Visual indicator pulsing violet - the device does communicate
at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection
proves successful it will be conrmed 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 net-
work device (repeater).
i
Communication mode of the device may switch be-
tween direct and one using routing, especially if the
device is on the limit of the direct range.
