PROA7PLUS: Wiring & Programming a Zooz ZEN16 MultiRelay

[AUDIO LOGO] Hey, DIYers, Dylan here with Alarm Grid. Today, we're going to go over how to get a Zooz ZEN16 relay connected to your PROA7PLUS system. This is going to be used if you want to connect a wired siren to your system. You can't connect the siren to the actual alarm system itself. And if you're using the PROSIX C2W, which is the wired to wireless converter, you cannot connect a siren through there as well. So you'll need to use a relay, such as the ZEN16. So I'm going to go over how to wire that first. And then we're going to get that paired to the system, test it. And I'm also going to show you how you can set up a smart seen through Total Connect to get that working as well. All right, so we're going to do our wiring first. And then we'll pair all this to our alarm system. And then we'll test it, just make sure everything's working properly. So instead of a siren, we're going to be using a strobe light here. We have the Zooz ZEN16. We have the AD12612 power supply. And we have our 1361 transformer. Now, there are battery connectors as well. But just for this, we're not going to connect the battery. But that's good if you want to have that backup battery option, in case the power goes out, you can keep this live and active. OK, so first, we are going to get our wiring done on the Zooz relay. So for this, you're going to want to first connect-- well, the order doesn't really matter as long as you have everything wired properly. But first thing I'm going to do is I'm connect to our little jumper wire here to the positive red output and then the R1 terminal that's closest to the left here. Connect those. And I'm not going to tighten the terminals just yet because we're going to be doing some more wiring for those. I'm going to connect our red wire from our siren or, in this case, our strobe. Oh, I just realized I put that in the wrong relay one terminal. So we're going all the way to the left here. And then for this one, I'm going to connect our red from the siren or the strobe. And then we're not going to connect anything else to this, I'm just going to close that right now. OK, nice and secure. We're going to connect some wiring from the relay to our power supply. Let me grab my wire for that. So from the black negative terminal, I'm going to put our black wire. We have nothing else connecting to that so I'm going to tighten that now. And then we're going to connect the red to the red. Let me just really loosen that. OK, reattach our jumper. Let's tighten these up. OK, nice and secured. OK, nice tug, everything's nice and secured there. And that's going to be essentially all the wiring we'll do for the relay. All right, so now, we're going to move over to our power supply here. OK, so from the wire that we have connected to the red and black terminals on the relay, we're going to connect these to our power supply. Black will go to the DC negative terminal. And red will go to the plus output. Loosen these. OK, nice and secured. Oh, actually, let me loosen this. Minus DC because that's also where we're going to put the black wire from our siren. So let me reconnect that and tightened. OK, nice tug, make sure everything's secure. OK, so we have the relay in the power supply. So now, we're going to wire the power supply to our transformer. And since this is AC, there's no polarity, so there's no negative or positive, as you can see here. And then for the 1361 or similar transformers, really, we don't have to connect anything to the ground. So we're just going to connect AC to AC, AC to AC. So we'll wire up the transformer first. And again, no polarity, so it doesn't really matter which colors go to which. Make sure the wiring is nice and snug in there. Then the wiring over here. OK, let me just get that back. All right, nice and secure. Then the other end of the wire, again, there's no polarity, so it doesn't matter. You don't have to follow the colors. I just want to get the two AC wires connected. Put these into place, make sure they're secure. All right, and a nice tug. Everything is secured. Jumper secured. Sound secured. Transform secured. OK, so now we're going to move over to the PROA7PLUS. To start, we're going to go to the bottom three bars menu icon. We're going to scroll until we get to tools. At tools, we're going to enter our installer code. Ours is still set as the default of 4112. We're going to go to programming and then z-wave peripherals since it's a z-wave relay. OK, so when you're pairing z-wave devices, the best practice is to exclude it first. So we're going to go to the exclusion mode. We're going to press the Function key, which is on the back of the device itself right here, 123. All right, excluded. All right, now we're going to go into exclusion mode. I'm going to press that same button here, 123. All right, device found. So let this learn in. All right, perfect, so it's included. OK, now we're going to test this. So I'm going to go to enrolled devices. When you're using the Zooz relay, it's always going to learn it as a light. So that cannot be changed, but it's still going to function as it should. I'm going to press the On option here. We're going to hear a click from the relay. And then our strobe will power on. OK, perfect, I'm going to power that off. Excellent. All right, OK, so now that that's paired, we're going to set up a smart scene through Total Connect two. And I'm going to have that scene trigger our siren or strobe when the alarm is in alarm mode. So we're jumping over to Total Connect now. OK, so here, we are in Total Connect two. I'm going to go into scenes. We're going to create a scene. All right, this first scene is to turn our siren or strobe on. We're going to do this triggered by a device, the security system, and burglary alarm, and fire alarm. Well, you have to create one for each. So in this case, we're going to do burglary alarm. If you want this to trigger during a fire alarm as well, you're going to create a separate scene, same thing. So it's going to ask you your scene name. Your scene trigger will be triggered by a device, security system. And then instead of burglary, you'll press fire alarm. All right, so that is set. Continue, device, turn on. Now, device one is our siren. If we had set a custom name for that, it would show the custom name there. So we're going to save. OK, and I'm going to create a second scene, Turn Off. So this will be when we disarm the system. So triggered by device, security system, disarm. We're going to have device one, or our siren, or strobe turn off. Continue and save. Perfect. Now, when you create scenes in Total Connect to make sure that they're synced to the actual alarm system, you're going to go to location, you're going to go to sync panel. All right, we're going to go to activities. And when this is completed, we're going to see automation sync successful. This can take a few minutes, so just be patient with it. As you can see right here, that was from a previous panel sync it did learn in the actual automation device. And then while we're here-- So if we go to devices in Total Connect, it shows what we've paired to the panel. You can customize it here as a switch light. Now, this doesn't change how it is in the actual panel. So in our case, just to keep it consistent. Since it showed up as a light in our alarm panel, I'm going to set it to a light here. All it does is just change the icon. It doesn't really do anything past that. And then I'll show you, just like we did at the panel itself, you can trigger it from Total Connect and then have that turn on and off. Might be taking a little bit because we are doing that sync. Let's see here. OK, so automation sync successful. Our light is on. Strobe is flashing. I'm going to turn that off so I can then run the scenes, OK. OK, so since we've tested that manually from Total Connect, it's sent over the signal. We saw our strobe going off. We know that it's functioning. And then it is logged there in the activities. So now, let's just check. We have our two scenes for turn on and turn off. So I'm going to trigger a panic alarm on our PROA7PLUS. Now obviously, if you do have a sensor programmed and you trigger this while it's armed, that can trigger the siren as well. OK, so since we have everything set, now, we have our scenes, I'm going to go ahead and arm the system. I'm going to arm it from Total Connect here. But you can also arm it at the panel itself. And this scene will trigger either way. So I'm going to do armed home. Armed home. OK, that's going to send a signal over to our panel. It's going to start the exit delay. That's going to give you time to exit the building while the system is arming so you don't trip the alarm. By default, that is 60 seconds. So we're going to let that count down. Armed home. All right, the system is armed, so I'm going to go ahead and trigger our front doors. I'm going to open the door, that's going to activate the entry delay. The entry delay allows you to get to the alarm panel before the alarm is triggered. [ALARM BEEPING] All right, our alarm is triggered. We have the siren. It's triggering as well. I'm going to clear that. Not ready to arm. All right, system is disarmed and our strobe is turned off. So it shows our scenes are working that we created in Total Connect. That's clear there. I'm going to go ahead and close our front door. OK, and we have everything working. Perfect. OK, so that is how you get the Zooz ZEN16 connected to your PROA7PLUS system. We got it wired all correctly. We tested it through the panel itself, through the manual option. And then we also set up our scene in Total Connect two so we can have that go without us needing to turn it on and off. And so it will sound, or, in our case, light up when the alarm is triggered.
