Overview

The MIMOlite module provides one analog or digital
input and one relay output (isolated dry contacts,
NO-COM-NC) and can be controlled by
Z-Wave
TM
. The system includes a program switch for Z-Wave
TM
inclusion/exclusion and a status light (LED) for v
arious indications.
Input SIG1 is an analog input, internally pulled-up
to the MIMOlite supply voltage. The system allows
trigger conditions to be set based on the
input voltage being inside or outside a user-define
d range (configured via Z-Wave). This provides gre
at flexibility for capturing events in a
wide variety of applications. The trigger status of
the input can be read via Z-Wave
TM
and/or can be automatically sent to a configured n
ode,
typically the Controller. In addition, a count of
the trigger events that have occurred for the input
channel is internally recorded (and stored in
the ‘pulse count’) and is available to be requested
or automatically sent via Z-Wave. The current tri
ggered/un-triggered status can also be
read via Z-Wave. The SIG1 input can be associated
with up to two other Z-Wave
TM
devices, such that an associated device will autom
atically
turn on (or off) based on the occurrence of a trigg
er event. Finally, the analog input channel can be
configured so that the analog
input level

(not just binary trigger status) is periodically se
nt to up to two other associated nodes. The output
relay is typically commanded via Z-Wave
TM

commands. In addition, the user can configure the i
nput SIG1 trigger condition to be mapped to the out
put relay. For example, Relay 1 can be
automatically turned on based on Input SIG1 being t
riggered. The relay activation can be set via a ju
mper or via Z-Wave
TM
for either
momentary or latched operation - see
Installation
section.
This product can be included and operated in any Z-
Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices fr
om other manufacturers and/or other
applications. All non-battery operated nodes within
the network will act as repeaters regardless of ve
ndor to increase reliability of the network.

Warnings and Precautions
* The dry contact relays are not capable of support
ing higher-than-specified loads. Exceeding the spec
ified switching power will cause damage
to the unit and may cause damage to property and/or
personal injury, including loss-of-life.
* WARNING – Do not attempt to use the relays to swi
tch residential or industrial Alternating Current (
AC) lines. The
relays are to be used for low-power load control on
ly. Refer to above electrical specifications for r
elays.
* Do not store highly flammable items such as oily
rags or other combustibles near your MIMOlite.
* Do not apply electrical power to the unit unless

* WARNING - The MIMOlite must not be used in life s
upport and / or safety applications.
* MIMOlite functionality is based on wireless (RF)
transmissions. Any wireless transmission can be s
ubject to RF interference or loss-of-
communication. This interference or loss-of-commun
ication may cause the unit to not operate as intend
ed. You, the end-user, are responsible
for ensuring that the MIMOlite functionality and in
stallation meet your desired requirements.
* Do not mount the MIMOlite inside a metal enclosur
e.

* Do not place MIMOlite on or near metal objects. T
his decreases range and/or blocks wireless transmis
sions.
* Information provided in this manual is for your c
onvenience and may be superseded by updates. The s
pecifications and this manual are
subject to change without notice. It is your respo
nsibility to ensure that the MIMOlite functionalit
y meets your needs and specifications.


Using the MIMOlite in a Z-Wave
TM
Network

INCLUSION
in (adding to) a network: 1) Set up the inclusion
mode at the controller (for detailed directions, pl
ease refer to your controller user
manual); 2) If the LED has a periodic single blink
, the unit will be automatically included. Otherwi
se, the button has been previously pressed
and automatic inclusion mode is no longer active.
In this case, briefly press the button once and the
controller will indicate that the unit has
been included in the network. Also, the Status LED
will blink when the inclusion completes.
Inclusion and exclusion are always done at normal
transmit power mode.

EXCLUSION
from (removing from) a network: 1) Set up the excl
usion mode at the controller (for detailed directio
ns, please refer to your
controller user manual); 2) Press the MIMOlite but
ton and the controller will indicate the unit has b
een removed from the network. The
Status LED will blink when the exclusion completes.


ASSOCIATIONS:
Once in a network, your controller can be used to a
ssociate the MIMOlite with other devices in the Z-W
ave
TM

network, such
as a light or remote audible alarm.
Refer to your controller’s documentation on how to
associate the MIMOlite with another device in your
network.
The MIMOlite input supports five association groups
with a maximum of two associated devices in each g
roup.
Group 1: When the input is triggered/untriggered,
a command is sent to turn on/off the device(s) asso
ciated with the input.
Group 2: The MIMOlite will periodically send a rep
ort indicating the input’s analog voltage level.
Group 3: If a power dropout occurs, the MIMOlite w
ill send a notification (depending on available res
idual power)
Group 4: When the input is triggered or untriggere
d, a Binary Sensor report is sent to this group’s a
ssociated device(s).
Group 5: Pulse meter counts will be sent to this g
roup’s associated device(s).

STATUS INDICATIONS:
The MIMOlite provides a status light to indicate
various situations. As shown in the table below,
the light blinks a
variable number of times, fast or slow, periodicall
y or only once.

Input Analog-to-Digital Characteristics
The input signal voltage conversion to Multilevel S
ensor value (ADC reading or count) is non-linear.
A typical conversion curve (Voltage to ADC
reading) is shown in the Technical Appendix on the
FortrezZ website. These are the values returned v
ia the Multilevel Sensor report in
response to a Multilevel Sensor Get request (or if
association Group 2 is set up). The conversion is
a 12-bit conversion which allows values
from 0 to 4095.
Input Configuration
The voltage conversion described above also applies
to the triggering configuration. Refer to the Tec
hnical Appendix for details on changing
the triggering configuration. The default trigger
configuration for the analog input, SIG1, is a thre
shold around 1V. That is, the input will
trigger when the level goes above approximately 1V
and will untrigger when the level goes below approx
imately 1V. If the input is left open, MIMOlite, Multiple Input – Multiple Output

the input will remain triggered because of the inte
rnal pull-up resistor. The trigger ranges for SIG
1 are very flexible and can be changed to
meet many application requirements. Refer to the T
echnical Appendix for details.
Output Configuration
The MIMOlite can be configured to automatically tur
n the relay on when the input is triggered or a Z-W
ave command can also turn the relay
on. The Configuration Command Class, Parameter 3,
is used to set the input-to-relay mapping (See Tech
nical Appendix). When input-to-relay
mapping is enabled, Z-Wave
TM
commands to set the relay are overridden. The def
ault for the relay is no input-to-relay mapping. M
omentary
vs Latched relay operation is selected by jumper P5
on the circuit board.
The Momentary / Latched jumper is read only at power
on when
the MIMOlite is not in a ZWave network.
When the jumper is off, momentary (default 500ms)
operation is selected. If desired, once in-
network, a Zwave configuration command (Parameter 1
1) can be used to override the jumper setting. The
momentary configuration can be
set from 100ms to 25.5ms (approximate) in increment
s of 100ms via the ZWave command (refer to the Tech
nical Appendix).
Power Dropout

A periodic Power Dropout indication (see above tabl
e) is shown if the supplied power drops below appro
x. 10.5 Volts. Also, the MIMOlite
implements the Alarm Command Class, which provides
an alarm report (Alarm Type = 0x08, Alarm Level = 0
xFF) when the supplied power
drops. The MIMOlite sends the alarm report to the
node(s) in Association Group 3. After a power dro
pout alarm event, the MIMOlite sends
an alarm report (Alarm Type = 0x08, Alarm Level = 0
x00) when the supplied power rises above approx. 11
Volts.
Installation
Depending on your intended application, place
jumper on P5 (2 pin connector beside P3): for
Latched relay function, leave jumper ON; for
Momentary relay function, remove jumper.
Apply DC power to P0. Do not exceed
24VDC. Program MIMOlite into your Z-Wave
controller with the button located next to P0.

Connect monitored signal to SIG1 (P1, labeled –
and +) and relay contacts NO/NC/COM on P4.
Follow polarity and do not exceed max input
voltage of 24V DC (or 16Hz, if counting triggers).
