2.2. Planning & Mounting and Installation
The sensor uses low-power radio signals to communicate with the Z-Wave Gateway. To achieve the
best results, please note the following:
- The device has been designed to remain invisible when placed on wooden and plastic
windows/doors.
- Please do not
attach it
- The magnet should not be placed on a metal surface.
- The device has a radio range of up to 40 m.
- The battery life of the device is reduced if the radio connection to the Z-Wave Gateway is not
direct but via a repeater.
Preparation:
Place the sensor so that it cannot be seen. A clearance of at least 3.5 mm depth is required for this. If
the round magnet fits into the free space, the depth is sufficient.
- The sensor can be mounted in the frame (recommended) and the magnet on the door/window or
vice versa.
- Make sure that the square magnet is positioned so that it is at least 10 mm from the flat end of the
sensor when the window is closed. When the window is open, the magnet should be at least 30
mm away from the sensor.
- Open the window or door and make sure that the locking mechanisms are not blocked and that
your Z-Wave Gateway detects the status.
Mounting instructions:
Move the square magnet according to the drawings
and check that the Z-Wave Gateway displays the
correct status.
If the Z-Wave system does not respond, it may be
necessary to change the Z-Wave signal type. Use your
Z-Wave Gateway to do this.
