What Can Do?• ELAN g! controllers support two-way integration

with locks • The g! controllers can lock and unlock the locks

and monitor changes in the states of the locks • Provide convenient user code management • Extensive event triggering allows the state of the

lock can be used as a condition in automation programming

• Lock control is supported in all g! interfaces• TS7/TS10 touchscreens• iOS & Android devices• HR2 & TS2• PC viewer


800-282-8864

• Lock status only reflects the status of the lock, not the door.• A deadbolt can be extended if the door is open. An entry set door must be closed to

be secure.• *Schlage deadbolts must be manually turned, the deadbolt is not motorized• *Schlage entry sets can be locked/unlocked via command when the key is in the locked

position• When a Schlage entry set is manually unlocked with a key, the lock/unlock state is

not correctly represented. A lock command will not lock the door, the state will show as locked.

• A Schlage manual key unlock override on the entry set is not reported to the HAI via Z-Wave

Z-Wave Setup•Leviton Vizia rf+ Installer

Software•Lock Inclusion•2-Way Communication Setup

• Worthington Distribution recommends Z-Wave technology in traditional wood frame residential applications up to 7,500 sq/ft.

• For unusual applications, give us a call.


800-282-8864

Getting Started: What You Will Need• Z-Wave lock compatibility

• g!5.9 and above• Leviton VRCOP Serial interface

• It must be a ‘3’ series (see image)• Firmware must be updated

• All VRCOP units sent from Worthington Distribution as of 1/1/2012 is updated and a sticker is added to the box before shipment (see image)

• Firmware updates for the VRCOP ‘3’ series can be updated from Leviton.com (Click on Home Automation)

• Use a Leviton VRUSB-1US USB programming stick (pictured)

Is your VRCOP compatible?Look on the back for ‘vizia rf+ 3’

Worthington Distribution is updating serial interfaces before shipping (as of 1/1/2012).

Look for the sticker above on the box

The Leviton USB stick is needed for use with the Vizia RF+ Installer software


800-282-8864

vizia rf+ Installation Software

• The software is free• Locks require 1.1.0.0 or later• Download from

www.leviton.com/rfinstaller• A LEVVRUSB-1US USB stick is required

Z-Wave Overview•Z-Wave Technology•Expanding Communication Coverage•Beaming Command•Best Practices


800-282-8864

• Networking technology to route information between devices

• Allows reconfiguration around blocked paths by "hopping“

• Mesh network• No repeaters required• More devices = better coverage

• Estimated 75’ (open air) range between devices• Results vary based on construction and

environment, 35’+ installed distance is typical• Self-healing: network can still operate even when a

device breaks down or a connection goes bad• 900MHz frequency at 9.6K and 40K baud• Only uses devices that have been programmed into

the network• Enough devices must be in network for sufficient

coverage

Z-Wave Mesh Networking


800-282-8864

More modules = Better Coverage• Z-Wave is a mesh network

• AC Powered devices can repeat transmissions to reach devices that the serial module can not reach directly

• Worthington Distribution has found Z-Wave to be effective in traditionally constructed homes up to 7,500

R3R2R1

R4

• Z-Wave devices that are running on batteries DO NOT repeat Z-Wave commands• Examples: Locks and battery

powered thermostats


800-282-8864

Choose Modules with Beaming• Understanding Beaming is critical to success with locks

• When the serial module is unable to talk directly to a lock it will need the assistance of other AC powered (non-battery) devices in the network to repeat the messages

• ONLY DEVICES WITH BEAMING SUPPORT CAN WAKE A LOCK• Beaming is required to ‘wake-up’ 2-way battery devices

• Many (most) shipping Z-Wave devices do not feature beaming support• All devices with new chipsets include beaming support; however, not all

products feature the new chips• Without beaming, the locks will not communicate no matter how many

non-beaming devices are added to the network• Beaming communication does have noticeable delay

Leviton vizia rf+ is fully compatible with HAI controllers and features automatic status updates

Note:

Evolve devices can be controlled by HAI; however, status must be polled

Note:


800-282-8864

• Exterior materials can effect signal• Examples

• Aluminum siding• Wire mesh – stucco and stone• Foil backed installation• Low-E Glass

• Low temperatures are a concern

Stay away from controlling devices mounted outdoors and in outbuildings

Z-Wave Best Practices


800-282-8864

• Best practice is to expand coverage in pairs• More options allows the mesh to try alternate paths• The temptation when expanding coverage is to just add

a single device half way. While this has been known to work, for consistent results add 2 devices around the halfway point.

• When using plug-in modules, choose locations that are unlikely to be unplugged or moved• Behind furniture is often a great location• If out of site, label “Communication Device, Do Not

Remove”• Once placed and programmed DO NOT RELOCATE

ZWAVE DEVICES

Z-Wave Best Practices


800-282-8864

Z-Wave is RF: Think Metal!

• Z-Wave uses RF signals• Metal reflects signals• Metal does not mean it will not work, just be aware of

large metal objects and plan accordingly• Metal junction boxes effect RF transmission patterns

• Often more devices are needed for the same coverage

• Do not place the Leviton Z-Wave Serial Interface in a metal structured wiring enclosure or equipment rack


800-282-8864

Z-Wave Programming


800-282-8864

Create A New File

• Start by creating a new file• The USB stick will be reset• You will be prompted for a new file

Learn the Locks

Exclude before Include•It is a good habit to Exclude a device prior to Including it in your new Zwave network

• In enough cases to be troublesome a device is tested on the production line but not removed from their test network

• This causes issues with learning the lock into a new network

•Excluding a device is very similar to including a device. Start by selecting Exclude Device then skip to the instructions for your lock

Install First•Install the locks in the FINAL location before enrolling

• It is NOT advisable to learn the locks and then install them•Once you hit OK, use the following slides for the proper enrollment procedure


800-282-8864

Learn The LocksInclude•After Excluding you may now Include•Select Include Device and press “OK” BEFORE putting the lock into include mode•See the slide for your device for setting it to include


800-282-8864

Learning Kwikset and Baldwin• Install the locks in the FINAL location before enrolling

• It is NOT advisable to learn the locks and then install them• Ensure you have fresh batteries and that a green Z-Wave radio is

installed• A non-communicating version of the lock is available in which a

radio is not installed. The RF cards are not available separately.• A ZigBee radio is red and is not compatible with Z-Wave products

• When the lock is powered up, follow the instructions to set user code 1• Press the big button (circled in red) one time• Enter a code • Press the lock button

• As shown in the previous slide, click ‘Include Device’• When the dialog box pops up, press ‘OK’

• Press the top left microswitch (finger pointing on the left)• The blue LED on the USB stick will flash, it can take 30 seconds for a

lock to enroll• Give the lock a name• Repeat for additional locks• If for any reason the lock will not learn, click ‘Exclude Device’ and then

the Microswitch. Once removed from all networks, attempt Inclusion again.


800-282-8864

Learning Yale• Install the locks in the final location before enrolling

• It is not advisable to learn the locks and then install them• Ensure you have fresh batteries• When the lock is powered up you have to set an installer code

• Enter 12345678#• Enter 1#• Enter an Installer Code (4-6 digits) followed by #


• Learn in the deadbolt• Enter the new Installer Code followed by #• Enter 7#• Enter 1#

• The blue LED on the USB stick will flash, it can take 30 seconds for a lock to enroll

• Give the lock a name• Repeat for additional locks• If for any reason the lock will not learn, click ‘Exclude Device’

• Enter the new Installer Code followed by #• Enter 7#• Enter 3#• Once removed from all networks

attempt Inclusion again


800-282-8864

Learning Schlage• Before installing, write down the Prog and User Codes on the yellow

sticker (below)• Install the locks in the final location before enrolling

• It is not advisable to learn the locks and then install them• Ensure you have fresh batteries

• The deadbolt has 2 sets of batteries• 3 AA power the Z-Wave radio and 9V controls the lock/pinpad


• Type the Prog Code in on the Pinpad• The Schlage logo will turn Amber• Press 0

• The blue LED on the USB stick will flash, it can take 30 seconds for a lock to enroll

• Give the lock a name• Repeat for additional locks• If for any reason the lock will not learn, click ‘Exclude Device’ and then

type the Prog Code followed by 0• Once removed from all networks attempt Inclusion again.


800-282-8864

Additional Devices for Communication• Many installations will require additional Z-

Wave modules to ensure reliable communication

• Beaming compatible devices are required• See slide 19

• Plug-in lamp and appliance modules have been popular with other installers

• Pro: Quick installation with no electrical license required

• Con: The customer can move or unplug the modules

• Light switches and outlets provide a more custom installation

• Pro: Devices are not going to move and customers often request more devices once they can control lights on a schedule and from portable devices

• Con: Devices should be installed by an electrician

• Programming• Click Include Device• Click OK and wait 2 seconds

• The LED on the stick will flash for a moment

• Follow the Include Device instructions for the device

• Leviton – Tap the device on• Evolve – Double tap the

device on• Once all additional devices are

added• Right mouse click on the

serial interface• Now has a green box

Additional Devices for Communication


800-282-8864

Add the Leviton Serial Interface• It is best to have the locks installed and learned before adding the serial

interface• If a lock is added after learning in the serial, simply repeat the serial

learning process• Put the VRC0P interface into learning BEFORE pressing ‘Include Device’ on the

PC• With the LED flashing green, press and hold the LED until it turns amber

• If the LED turns amber and then red, the serial is defaulted. Just wait until the LED turns green again and start over

• With the LED flashing amber, click ‘Include Device’ followed by clicking ‘OK’ when the dialog box pops up

• Once included, give the serial interface a name like ‘serial interface’


800-282-8864

Set the Serial Interface For 2-Way• Before executing this step, the locks must be in the network and the serial interface should

be learned in last

• Choose Diagnostics / RS232 Setup

• The LevSerialInterfaceConfig dialog box will open• Use the pull down next to RS232 Modules and choose the

serial interface connected to the HAI• Place a check mark next to each lock• Click Set Association• The Set Association button will gray out during communication

• Be patient, this can take a minute or two• The blue LED on the USB stick will flash

• The process is complete when the Set Association buttonis no longer grayed out. You can now close the dialog box.


800-282-8864

Note the Node Numbers• The last step before closing the software is to note the node numbers for

each lock• g! imports all the devices automatically but does not import device

names• In the upper left corner, expand the ‘All Devices’ section in the tree

• Note the device name and node numbers shown in the parenthesis ()


800-282-8864

USB Stick Orientation• RF devices often do not radiate evenly in all directions• The USB stick radiates out the sides more than the end

• Typically this is a non-issue except in very close range applications

• The time to be aware of the USB stick radiation pattern is when you have a laptop cradled in your arm

• If the USB stick is in the back, installers like to get the stick near the target device; unfortunately, that puts the device right in the ‘blind spot’

• Point the side of the stick towards the device for better results

Blind spot atclose

distance

Not recommended Much better


800-282-8864

A Device Will not learn• In current Z-Wave versions, a device must be

within the standard (3’) or long range (75’ open air) inclusion circle during the learning phase• Depends on when the device was designed• Beaming devices typically support long

range inclusion• If other devices will be needed to ‘hop’ to the

USB stick then it will likely not learn• It is best to have the PC and stick in the

room when learning• This is most important with locks

800-282-8864

When Things Go Wrong: Static Routes•Z-Wave is an excellent technology; however,

like many technologies, it is only as good as the installation

•Static Routes•Z-Wave is a mesh network that

depends on other devices in the network to ensure commands get to their destination

•Learning devices into the USB stick establishes the paths

•Removing or Moving a device disrupts the path and causes serious issues

800-282-8864

Rediscovery• Z-Wave paths are critical to success• Paths are traditionally established during the learn

process• Rediscovery establishes new paths using devices

currently assigned to the network• Start by learning all of the devices into the USB

stick• Place the devices in their final location• Use the rediscovery feature

• Update the VRC0P using ‘Update Routes’ after rediscovery

R3R2

R4


800-282-8864

Rediscovery Power Level• Choose Power Level

• The Power Level is useful for ensuring there is ‘room for error’ when routes are chosen

• Lowering Power Level means devices transmission range is lowered as routes are discovered so fewer devices are available

• The devices chosen for routes during low power rediscovery will have high signal strength during normal operation

• Choosing a power level• In typical installations, start with -6dB• The only exception is when the home has a large

amount of Z-Wave (every light switch in the home)• A low Power Level will cause the system to hop

more than it needs to resulting in slower communication

• Start the Network Rediscovery• If you start with -6dB and all devices don’t pass,

try -4dB• If -4dB does not pass you likely need more

modules• Always update the serial interface after a Network

Rediscovery


800-282-8864

Update Routes• When a Rediscovery is used the serial needs to be

updated• The serial update allow the serial to use the new

paths that were discovered• After the serial has been updated, the locks need to be

offered the newly discovered pathways for speaking back to the serial

• Under Diagnostics choose Update Routes• Check each lock• Click Update Routes


800-282-8864

Time for g!• Connect the VRC0P to your ELAN g! controller

using the white serial cable and see the ELAN Zwave Door Locks integration note to complete programming
