Aeon Labs Door/Window Sensor User Instructions: 1. Mounting the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor to a Wall, Door, or Window Frame 1.1 The main sensor unit and magnet unit should be placed in a manner such that when the door/window is closed, they are within 2cm.
Page 5
1.2 Screw the bidirectional mounting plate and the magnet unit into the wall, door or window frame. Use the provided screw anchors if attaching the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor to a soft material (such as drywall). AND/OR Peel and attach the double-sided mounting tape to the back of the bidirectional mounting plate and magnet unit to adhere to the wall, door or window frame.

3. Wake the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor for 10 Minutes The Aeon Labs D/W Sensor can be made to stay awake for 10 minutes by any of the following methods below. Once the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor has been woken, the LED will blink every few seconds indicating that it is now awake and ready to receive Z-Wave network information and instructions.

4. Put the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor to Sleep After Being Included into a Z-Wave Network The Aeon Labs D/W Sensor may be put to sleep by any of the following methods below. Once the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor has been put to sleep, the LED will no longer blink indicating that it is now asleep and saving battery life.

5. Associating Z-Wave Lights/Switches/ Gateways to the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor By associating the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor to Z-Wave devices, it will be able to report it’s state to gateways, execute scenes through the associated gateways and turn on/off associated Z-Wave devices when it is triggered with its magnetic switch.
Page 12
5.3 Press the security tamper switch located at the back of the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor to complete the association process. Note: The Aeon Labs D/W Sensor can be associated to 6 devices total (1 device being a SUC/SIS gateway).

6. Reporting an Alarm when Tampered The Aeon Labs D/W Sensor has a built in security tamper switch which will automatically alert (Z-Wave Alarm Command Class) the associated gateway when the sensor is removed from either the bidirectional mounting plate or pried off the surface to which it was mounted.

Z-Wave network, pressing the security switch will illuminate the LED on the front of the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor solid red for 5 seconds. If the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor was not successfully removed from the Z-Wave network, the LED will...
8. Replacing Batteries The Aeon Labs D/W Sensor has built in battery level detection. It will automatically report it’s battery level (Z-Wave Battery Command Class) to the associated gateway throughout it’s life until the battery is fully drained and needs replacing. The battery status will often be displayed in the user interface of the gateway.
Recommendation: For networks which do not have a method to display the battery level of the Aeon Labs D/W Sensor, it is recommended that the sensor be tested occasionally to ensure that the battery still hold enough charge to operate. Batteries naturally lose their charge over time.
