Qolsys Z-Wave Plus Module
General Applications:
The Qolsys Z-Wave Plus Module features the 500 series Z-Wave Wireless Microcontroller silicon from
Sigma Designs, providing an air interface to certified Z-Wave devices. OEMs that integrate this module
will be able to connect to a variety of smart devices for home automation and control, for example:
thermostats, door locks, light bulbs, and electrical outlets. Note: these smart devices must be Z-Wave
certified.
Installation and Operation:
The module has a simple 8 pin header interface for power, reset, and UART connections. The mounting
screw is required for mechanical stability and to ensure a robust ground connection. The antenna is
permanently fixed to the module. Do not place any large pieces of metal around or near the antenna, as
it will inhibit performance. Do not modify the antenna in any way.
