5. Betjeningsvejledning

The Remotec ZRC-90US operates by sending Central Scene commands to your Z-Wave central controller based on button presses. The specific actions performed by these button presses are defined and configured within your Z-Wave hub's software.

5.1 Knapfunktioner

Each of the 8 buttons on the ZRC-90US supports two types of presses:

• Kort tryk: Et hurtigt tryk og slip af en knap.
• Langt tryk: Pressing and holding a button for a few seconds until the LED indicator responds (typically a blue light flash).

These 16 distinct events (8 buttons x 2 press types) can be mapped to various scenes, routines, or direct device controls within your Z-Wave network. For example, a short press of Button 1 could turn on your living room lights, while a long press of Button 1 could activate a 'movie night' scene.

5.2 Configuring Actions

All button actions are configured through your Z-Wave central controller's user interface. After successful inclusion, your hub should recognize the ZRC-90US as a Central Scene Controller. You will then be able to create automations or scenes that are triggered by the specific Central Scene commands sent by the ZRC-90US when its buttons are pressed.

6. Z-Wave Specifics

6.1 Z-Wave Exclusion (Removing from Network)

To remove the ZRC-90US from your Z-Wave network:

1. Place your Z-Wave central controller into exclusion (removal) mode. Refer to your controller's instruction manual for specific steps.
2. On the ZRC-90US, press the 'L' button tre gange quickly. The device's LED indicator should confirm successful exclusion.

6.2 Device Reset Local

A Device Reset Local command can be used to reset the ZRC-90US to its factory default settings and remove it from any Z-Wave network. This should only be used when the primary controller is missing or inoperable.

To perform a Device Reset Local, consult the specific instructions provided by Remotec or your Z-Wave hub's documentation, as this procedure can vary.

6.3 Wake Up Functionality

The ZRC-90US is a battery-powered device and may enter a low-power sleep mode to conserve battery life. To ensure it communicates with the controller for configuration updates or status checks, you may need to manually 'wake up' the device. This is typically done by pressing the 'W' button (often located inside the battery compartment) multiple times.

7. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Remotec ZRC-90US, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Enheden reagerer ikke:
  • Kontroller batteriniveauer og udskift om nødvendigt.
  • Ensure the device is within range of your Z-Wave central controller.
  • Verify that the device is properly included in your Z-Wave network. If unsure, attempt re-inclusion.
  • Perform a 'wake up' by pressing the 'W' button to ensure communication.
• Button Presses Not Triggering Scenes:
  • Confirm that the scenes or automations are correctly configured in your Z-Wave central controller.
  • Ensure the controller is receiving the Central Scene commands from the ZRC-90US. Some controllers may require specific settings (e.g., changing 'device_json' or adding variables) to fully support Central Scene devices. Refer to your hub's community forums or support documentation for advanced configuration.
  • Test with a simple scene to isolate the issue.
• Problemer med inklusion/eksklusion:
  • Ensure the controller is in the correct inclusion/exclusion mode.
  • Perform the button presses (3x 'L' button) quickly and accurately.
  • Try performing the inclusion/exclusion closer to the Z-Wave central controller.
