Z-Wave Setup and Operations
ZTS-500 can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices
from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the
network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.
You may check Glossary for the definition of FLiRS mode and Always Listening Mode before select
the Z-Wave operation mode.
Select FLiRS or Always Listening Mode
ZTS-500 can be powered by 4 x AA batteries, and/or 24Vac C wire. Before inclusion procedure, user
need to check the operation mode or the power source of ZTS-500.
-
FLiRS mode (Batt) is targeted for battery operated applications and will enter sleep mode
frequently in order to save battery life. ZTS-500 can't act as a repeater in this mode. The
response to Z-Wave commands is not as quick as devices on Always Listening mode. Normally
there is 1-2 seconds latency on response, you should avoid sending commands to the ZTS-500
too frequently.
If it is powered by batteries, ZTS-500 will self-configure to FLiRS mode after inclusion into a
network.
-
Always Listening mode (24V) is targeted for AC power operated 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.
If it is powered by 24Vac or 24Vac plus batteries, ZTS-500 will self-configure to Always Listening
Mode.
Important:
a)
Regardless of FLiRS mode or Always Listening mode, the setup and operations are the same.
Local control can also be used while it is included into a Z-Wave network.
b)
After inclusion procedure, changing between FLiRS and Always Listening mode is not allowed.
To switch modes, you must perform an exclusion procedure first.
c)
If you are using battery power as the main power source or as a back-up while AC power is
down and the ZTS-500 is in Z-Wave Always Listening mode, the battery will drain very fast
(battery will only survive 3-5 days).
d)
If the user performs a Reset to Factory Default Settings or Z-Wave Exclusion operation, the
ZTS-500 will retain the last selected HVAC system type.
