Node Information Frame
NI
The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the
device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out
a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node
Information Frame.
Pressing Button 2 in management mode will issue a Node Information Frame.
LED Control
1. Lights up for 2 seconds — Done
2. 3 short blinks — Failure
3. Slowly blinking (on - off) — In management mode
4. Slowly blinking (on-on-on-off) — Inclusion in NWI mode
5. Slowly blinking (on-off-off-off) — Waiting NIF (when adding Association)
6. Lights up for 0.5 seconds — Button press confirmation
Associations
A
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another
device is called
association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list
of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in
the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.
Association Groups:
1 Controlled by button 1 or single clicks of buttons 1 and 3 (max. nodes in group: 8)
2 Controlled by button 3 or double clicks of buttons 1 and 3 (max. nodes in group: 8)
3 Controlled by button 2 or single clicks of buttons 2 and 4 (max. nodes in group: 8)
4 Controlled by button 4 or double clicks of buttons 2 and 4 (max. nodes in group: 8)
Set and unset associations to actuators
Associations can be assigned and remove either via Z-Wave commands or using the device itself.
SA
To control a Z-Wave device from the Key Fob the node ID of this devices needs to be assigned to one of the four
association groups. This is a three-step process:
1. Turn the Key Fob into management mode and hit button 4 within 10 sec. (LED is blinking green when
management mode is reached).
2. Within 10 sec. push the button you like the Z-Wave actuator to be assigned with. After 10 sec. the devices
goes back to sleep. Single click means adding to this association group, double click means removing the
node selected in step (3) from this association group.
3. Find the Z-Wave actuator you like to control by the key fob. Hit the button on the device to issue a Node
Information Frame within 20 sec. A common way is hitting a control button one or three times. Please
consult the manual of the device to be controlled for more information how to issue an Node Information
