Quick Start

Pre-Installation of Door / Window Sensor.

• Open the cover by pressing the clip on the side and pulling the cover upwards.
•  Insert a fresh 1 * 1/2 AA battery, but pay attention to the polarity

Install your Door / Window Sensor .

The sensor can be mounted either on the moving part or on the fixed part of a door or a window. Mounting can be accomplished either using the tape by peeling off the protection foil or using two screws with the holes inside the battery compartment. If the tilt detection on a window (only normal windows, no roof windows) shall be used the sensor device must be placed on the moving part of the window and the magnet on the window frame. The sensor comes with two types of magnets:

• The standard magnet covered by plastic part, mountable beside the sensor. Make sure the two indicating lines on sensor enclosure and magnet are opposite to each other. The image on the right hand-side shows the position of magnet and sensor body.
• A slim "naked" magnet to be mounted behind the sensor in case the sensor body is placed on the side of a window.
• To use the tilting function, the opening angle of the window must be at least 5° or greater.

For German style windows there the window sits on top of the window frame mounting on the side of the window is highly recommended. If no tilting detection is used, the sensor can be placed on any position of the door or the window. In case tilting detection is desired the sensor should be placed on the upper side of the window.

Adding your Door / Windows Sensor to Z-Wave network.

1. Set your Z-Wave controller into pairing mode.
2. Triple click the tamper switch on Door / Window Sensor - this begins to blink five times
3. After completion of the inclusion, it lights up once before it goes out.
4. Close the cover
   
   
   

Functions of Door / Window Sensor .

Open/Close

Once installed the sensor will report "open" and "close" status changes to a central Z-Wave controller using notification commands. 

Tilt detection

The tilt detection allows reporting the way a window is opened. This is accomplished using the command class "binary sensor - tilt type". In case the window is closed or opened without tilting the tilt sensor will report "Off". In case the window is tilted a "On" is reported. The angle of inclination of the window must be at least 5°.

Advances functions.

Screw Terminal.

With parameter #1 you can choose between the internal magnet or the external connections.

The product must support interconnection of external sensors as well as actuators and dry-contacts. Product allows interconnection with external sensors/actuators via 4-pin screw terminals with the following pinout:

• #1: VCC (direct battery supply)
• #2: Analogue Input (ADC - not used at the moment)
• #3: Digital Input
• #4: Ground

VCC + Ground terminals can be used to externally power the sensor. Digital + Ground is used to connect the external dry contact.

Note: Please note that the contact is a normally open contact. Closing the contact sends out an "XXX" command.

Additionally the sensor can directly control other device using the association group 2. Using configuration commands the source of "open" and "close" events can choosen between the internal magnet detector or external dry contact connected via the screw terminal. The device is protected by a tamper switch.

Link testing.

1. Set Parameter #4 to value #1

2. Double clicking the Tamper

3. Result:

   • one times blinking - success

   • three times blinking - failure

Scene Controller.

When activated by configuration parameter #13 the device can perform as a scene controller. The external dry contact will then act as a scene controller with a total of 7 scenes that can be activated:

1. Contact Pressed 1 time
2. Contact Pressed 2 time
3. Contact Pressed 3 time
4. Contact Pressed 4 time
5. Contact Pressed 5 time
6. Contact held down
7. Contact released

Firmware-Update over the Air.

This device is capable of receiving a new firmware 'over the air'. The update function needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the update process, perform the following action to confirm the firmware update:

1. Wake Up the device by removing the cover. 
2. The hit the tamper switch once.

Send a wake up notification .

In order to send your sensors new configuration commands from your Z-Wave controller or gateway, it will need to be woken up. 

1. Wake Up the device by removing the cover. 
2. The hit the tamper switch once.

Note: Door / Window Sensor 7 remains awake until the housing is closed again.

Remove your Door / Window Sensor 7 from Z-Wave network.

Your sensor can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You'll need to use your Z-Wave network's main controller/gateway. To do this, please refer to the part of your gateways respective manual that tell you how to remove devices from your network. 

1. Set your Z-Wave controller into unpair mode.
2. Triple click the tamper switch on Door / Window Sensor 7 within 1.5 seconds - this will cause the LED to blink five times.
3. After a successful exclusion, it will light up its LED for 2 seconds then deactivate.

Reset your Door / Windows Sensor 7.

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable. 

To manually factory reset:

1. Remove the cover of Door Window Sensor 7
2. Press and hold tamper switch for 5 seconds until red LED blinks.
3. Release the tamper switch
4. Immediately press and hold the tamper switch for 5 seconds until red LED blinks.
