1. If your Z-Stick is plugged into a gateway or a computer, unplug it.
2. Take your Z-Stick to your MultiSensor 6.
3. Press the Action Button on your Z-Stick. The LED will begin to blink the Blue LED slowly.
4. Press the Action Button on your MultiSensor. The LED on Multisensor will blink Green rapidly, followed by a solid Green LED for 1
second for a successful inclusion, or a solid red LED for 1 second for a failed inclusion.
5. You can test if your MultiSensor has been successfully included into your Z-Wave network by pressing its Action Button. If you
press the button and your sensor's green LED is solid for a few seconds, then inclusion has been successful. If the green LED blinks
when the button is pressed, the inclusion has been unsuccessful and you should repeat the steps from step 1.
6. Press the Action Button on the Z-Stick to return it to inclusion mode.
Return it to your gateway or computer.
If you're using a specific Z-Wave gateway you may need to refer to its user manual before proceeding:
7. Set your Z-Wave gateway or software to accept the Z-Stick as a Z-Wave Controller. Using your gateway or software, re-scan for
new products if required, if it is not, the new devices recently added should automatically populate in your gateway/software
interface.
If you're using an existing gateway (ie. Vera, Smartthings, ISY994i ZW, Fibaro, etc):
You may need to refer to your gateway's method of including devices if you do not know how to pair a Z-Wave device.
1. Put your primary Z-Wave gateway into pair mode, your Z-Wave gateway should confirm that it is waiting to add a new device
2. Press the Action Button on your MultiSensor. The LED on Multisensor will blink Green rapidly, followed by a solid Green LED for 1
second for a successful inclusion, or a solid red LED for 1 second for a failed inclusion.
3. You can test if your MultiSensor has been successfully included into your Z-Wave network by pressing its Action Button. If you
press the button and your sensor's green LED is solid for a few seconds, then inclusion has been successful. If the green LED blinks
when the button is pressed, the inclusion has been unsuccessful and you should repeat the steps from step 1.
Choosing a Location for your MultiSensor.
MultiSensor 6 can bring its intelligent readings to many locations of your home. Before deciding on a location, there are some things
you should first consider.
MultiSensor 6's motion sensor uses light and heat readings to determine motion; sudden light and heating changes can impact the
sensor's quality of motion readings. As such, your sensor should not be installed in areas of artificial temperature change. Thus, when
selecting a location, avoid placing it beside or near air conditioners, humidifiers, and heaters, and avoid positioning it directly opposite a
window or direct sunlight.
If your MultiSensor 6 will be powered by batteries, you should avoid installing it in a location where the temperature can drop below 0°C /
32°F - this is below the batteries' working point.
Selecting a location for your sensor also depends on the layout of any area that you want
monitored. Whatever the room or area, please ensure that it fits with your sensor's effective motion sensing range as described in the
following diagrams. If installing MultiSensor 6 on a ceiling it can take measurements within a 3 x 3 x 6 metre / 10 x 9 x 18 feet range:
