Z-Wave® Installation
Z-Wave controllers from various manufacturers may support the Z-Wave Thermostat
General V2 Device class used by the RCS Z-WAVE Thermostat. The following procedure
will allow the thermostat to be added to a Z-Wave network.
General Programming Procedure (for controllers supporting the thermostat device
class):
1. Set your primary controller to Include, Add or Install mode, to add the
thermostat as a node on your network (see your controller’s user manual for
detailed instructions).
2. In the Thermostat’s Main Menu, scroll down to the ZWave Install item.
Select the item.
3. When prompted by your Z-Wave controller, Press the YES button in the
ZWave Install screen.
Your controller will indicate the thermostat was successfully added to its network (see
your controller’s user manual for details). Also you can check if the thermostat was
successfully added to the network by checking the ZHID (Home ID) and ZNID (Node
ID) located in the Thermostat Info screen.
For other specific tasks such as adding the thermostat to Scenes or Groups, or
deleting the thermostat from an existing network, use the Z-Wave Install procedure.
Note: Before adding the thermostat to a Z-Wave Network, check that it does not
already belong to one by viewing the Node ID (ZNID) located in the Thermostat Info
screen. An un-installed thermostat should show zeros for the Node ID (000). Consult
your controller’s user manual for details on removing a device from a Z-Wave
network.
Setback Mode Operation
If your controller does not support full thermostat device class functions, it may still be able
to control the energy saving AWAY mode of the thermostat through BASIC_SET
commands.
Sending the BASIC_SET (Value = 0x00), the thermostat will go into the AWAY mode and
use the predefined AWAY setback setpoints. These setpoints are set in the Main Menu
Away Setpoints item.
Sending the BASIC_SET (Value = 0xFF), the thermostat will revert back to the Home
mode it was in before the BASIC_SET (Value = 0x00) command was sent.
Note that when the BASIC_SET commands are sent, the TZ45 will momentarily display
the new mode.
Inclusion and Exclusion
Inclusion or exclusion is started by putting the controller into add node or remove node
state and performing the General Programming Procedure outlined above. As part of the
process, the thermostat sends a node information frame at normal power.
Low power inclusion or low power exclusion is not possible.
