Z-Wave Network A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by prima-
ry and secondary controllers operating on the same
system. A Z-Wave network has its own unique ID code
so that controllers not in the network cannot control
the system.
Primary Controller The rst controller is used to set up your devices and
network. Only the Primary Controller can be used to
include or remove devices from a network. It is rec-
ommended that you mark the primary controller for
each network for ease in modifying your network.
FLiRS Mode FLiRS is abbreviation for "Frequently Listening Rout-
ing Slave".
FLiRS mode is targeted for battery operated applica-
tions and will enter sleep mode frequently in order
to conserve battery consumption. The response to
Z-Wave command is not as quick as Always Listening
Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.
Always
Listening Mode
Always Listening Mode is targeted for AC power op-
erated applications and it can act as a repeater, which
will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal
is received by its intended destination by routing
the signal around obstacle and radio dead spots. The
response to Z-Wave command is immediate.
Association Association is used to organize nodes in different
groups allowing the device to identify the nodes by
a group identier. The groups can also be copied to
other devices.
