Installation instructions
Exclusion is started by putting the controller into remove node state and performing the General Programming Procedure. As part of the process, the thermostat sends a node information frame at normal power. Low power exclusion is not possible.
Inclusion is started by putting the controller into add node state and performing the General Programming Procedure. As part of the process, the thermostat sends a node information frame at normal power. Low power inclusion is not possible.
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. Press any button to take thermostat out of sleep mode.
3. Press and hold FAN button for 5 seconds. SETUP will be displayed in the status display line.
4. Scroll to “Z-Wave” using buttons. Press SELECT.
5. When prompted by your Z-Wave controller, Press the YES button in the Z-Wave Install screen.
6. Press SELECT (mode button) to add thermostat to network.
7. Display line should fl ash WAIT then SUCCESS if Z-Wave connection is made.
8. If Z-Wave does not connect to controller, WAIT, then FAIL will flash in status display line.
9. If thermostat fails to connect, repeat Steps three (3) thru (7) to re-try connecting.
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, refer to the Z-Wave controller instructions.
