Using the Z-Wave Range Test
The FGS-214 and FGS-224 modules have an integrated Z-Wave network main controller range tester.
To make the Z-Wave range test possible, the module must be included with the Z-Wave controller. The tests can stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.
To test the main controller's range:
1. Press and hold the maintenance button to access the menu.
2. Release the button when the device turns magenta.
3. Quickly press the button to confirm.
4. The visual indicator will indicate the range of the Z-Wave network (range signaling modes described below).
5. To exit the Z-Wave range test, short press the button.
Z-Wave Range Tester Signaling Modes:
Visual indicator flashing green - the device is attempting to establish direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will attempt to establish routed communication, via other modules, which will be indicated by a visual indicator flashing yellow.
Bright green visual indicator - the device communicates directly with the main controller.
Visual indicator flashing yellow - the device is trying to establish routed communication with the main controller via other modules (repeaters).
Bright yellow visual indicator - the device communicates with the main controller via the other modules. After 2 seconds, the device will retry to establish direct communication with the main controller, which will be indicated by a visual indicator flashing green.
Visual indicator flashing purple - device is communicating at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If the connection is successful, it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It is not recommended to use the device at the limit of range.
Glowing visual indicator - the device cannot connect directly to the main controller or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).
