Z-Wave Slim Repeater User Manual

ZRP-200Z-Wave Slim Repeater

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the ZRP-200 Range Booster product. ZRP-200 is a Z-Wave repeater with the best RF  performance to replicate Z-Wave signals in a network. The repeater re-transmits an input Radio Frequency  (RF) signal by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots to ensure that the signal is received at its intended destinations.

ZRP-200 is a security-enabled Z-Wave plus device. Security Enabled Z-Wave Plus Controller must be used in order to fully utilize the product.

Z-Wave Glossary
Device or Node Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave network.
Inclusion Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.
Remove To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network.
Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end-user friendly, Plug and Play like Z-Wave network installation as well as professional installation scenario where the inclusion process, in terms of time will be reduced significantly. NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named Explorer which enables the Z-Wave protocol to implement Adaptive Source Routing.
Z-Wave Network A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by primary 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 first 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 recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.
FLiRS Mode FLiRS is an abbreviation for “Frequently Listening Routing Slave”.FLiRS mode is targeted for battery-operated applications and will enter sleep mode frequently in order to conserve battery consumption. The response to the Z-Wave command is not as quick as the Always Listening Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.
Always Listening Mode Always Listening Mode 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 the 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 identifier. The groups can also be copied to other devices.

Get Started

 Open the box
  •  ZRP-200 Z-Wave Slim Repeater x 1set
Step 1 Apply Power to ZRP-200
  •  Simply plug the Z-Wave Slim Repeater in ITE Approved Regulated 5VDC USB Power Adaptor.
  •  Blue indicator will flash twice then flash continuously.

If ZRP-200 has been included to the network, it will only flash twice of the Blue indicator then OFF.

Step 2 Include ZRP-200 to a Z-Wave Gateway
step Procedure/Description Status Indicator
I Refer to your primary controller to enter into the Inclusion Mode or Exclusion Mode
2 When it is prompted to enter it, please triple-click the “PROG” button within I second. Blue Indicator flashes TWICE then stay off

Notes:

  1.  It is recommended to perform the Remove (Exclude) procedure before performing an Add (Include) procedure.
  2. Red Indicator flashes TWICE then stay off to represent the Add / Remove process failed, please repeat the above step again.
  3.  If the Add (Include) process fails, try Remove (Exclude) and /or resetting the Z-Wave Slim Repeater toFactory Default and repeat the above step.
  4. ZRP-200 will not support Basic Command Class.

The Below listed Command Class are all supported the Security S2COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATIONCOMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFOCOMMAND_CLASS_DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLYCOMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFICCOMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVELCOMMAND_CLASS_SUPERVISIONCOMMAND_CLASS_VERSION

Step 3 Setup Automatic Status Report Association to Gateway

Please consult your Gateway supplier for more detail. Normally, the User can ignore this step during the setup.ZRP-200 supports 1 association groupAssociation Group #1Association Group #1 (max. 1 node) defaults to associate with the primary controller(Gateway/Hub/Controller) for the Z-Wave Repeater Status change report, refer to below for report details:a) Device Reset Locally Notification (Only report when the Z-Wave Repeater has been triggered theRESET TO DEFAULT)

Health Channel Checking

This feature is only to check the connectivity between the Z-Wave Slim Repeater and the Gateway.Before use this feature, make sure the ZRP-200 has been included in the network.

Step Procedure / Description Status Indicator
1 Press once of the “PROG” button Indicator lights up in the following sequence and cycling until the finish checking:
Blue  → Purple →  Red
2 When it has finished, it will light up the indicator 5 seconds accordingly. Blue = ExcellentPurple = GoodRed = Poor

Press and Hold “PROG” button for 3 seconds on Z-Wave Slim Repeater, the indicator will light up Purple

Reset to Factory Default

Color. DO NOT Release the “PROG” Button until the indicator change back to Blue color and flashes TWICE.

Remark: All the Settings and Data will be permanently deleted.Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Required Power Source

  •  DC 5V 1A ITE Approved Regulated USB Power Adaptor (Not Included)

Installation Location Tips

  •  Avoid installed near the metallic objects
  • Install the ZRP-200 about 1.5m at least above the floor. Setting it in a higher position can provide a better signal repeating capability
  •  Avoid installing above or near hot surfaces or equipment. Avoid installing the device where it will be exposed to direct sunshine.

WARNING

– Indoor Use Only– Used only with ITE approved USB Power adaptor
