Aeotec by Aeon Labs Recessed Door
Sensor Gen5.
From Aeotec by Aeon Labs' intelligence series
and our Gen5 range, comes Recessed Door
Sensor. Invisibly installed, it sits within a door
and its frame to provide all the information
needed by a Z-Wave
®
system for security,
safety and ambiance without altering a room's
aesthetics.
Familiarize yourself with your
Recessed Door Sensor Gen5.
Your Recessed Door Sensor is comprised
of two parts: the larger Main Sensor and the
smaller Magnetic Sensor.

The installation of your Recessed Door Sensor
has two key steps:
1. Install both parts of your sensor.
2. Connect your sensor to your Z-Wave network.
Quick start.
1. Using a slot-head screw driver, remove the
Main Sensor's lid by pressing gently against its
exposed connector.
Prepare the Main Sensor.
2.Separate the Main Sensor's two sections
by first removing its lid and then removing its
internal components.
3.Remove the clear battery insulator by pulling
it away from the Main Sensor.
4.With the battery insulator removed, reinsert
the internal components into the Main Sensor's
enclosure before reattaching its lid. Ensure that
the Main Sensor's button aligns with the button
hole of its lid. The Main Sensor will now look as
it did prior to step 1.
With the Main Sensor powered and activated, it
is now time to inlay it within your selected door
frame.
The rectangular areas highlighted above are
optimal installation positions.
Before beginning it is important to select a
suitable position for your Recessed Door
Sensor. For optimal performance, your sensor
should be:
1. Either installed at the top of a door or the
side of a door.
2. Positioned away from metal that could
interfere with its magnetic functionality. This
includes your door's plate, handle or lock
mechanism.
3. Installed in a suitable location to ensure a
clear (between 1mm and 5mm) separation
when the door is closed.
4. Positioned exactly above or beside the
position in which the Magnetic Sensor will be
inlayed.
Install your Recessed Door Sensor.
Top of the door
Side of the door
Prepare a space for the Main Sensor by drilling
a hole into your doorframe using a 19mm wide
drill bit. The hole should be 65mm deep.
Drill a corresponding hole in your door. The
hole should be 15mm deep. As stated, the
position of this hole should align exactly with
the hole you just created in the doorframe.
Again, use a 19mm wide drill bit.

With your door and doorframe prepared and
the drill holes created, it's now time to mount
both parts of your Recessed Door Sensor.
Insert the Main Sensor into the hole you created
in the door frame then secure it using two screws.
Place a small amount of white glue (PVA)
inside the hole you created for the Magnetic
Sensor. Then place the sensor over and into
the hole. Next, insert it by tapping gently on it
with a rubber hammer.

With your Recessed Door Sensor installed
within a door and its frame, it's time to add
it to your Z-Wave network. The following
instructions tell you how to do this using
Aeotec's Z-Stick and Minimote controllers. If
you are using other products as your main
Z-Wave controller, please refer to the part of
their respective manuals that tell you how to
add new devices to your network.
The gap between the two parts of your sensor
must be no less than 1mm and no more than
5mm. If your gap is different, re-affix the Main
Sensor by altering its hole.

Add your sensor to your Z-Wave network.
If you’re using a Z-Stick:
Action Button
1. If your Z-Stick is plugged into a gateway or a
computer, unplug it.
2. Take your Z-Stick to the door in which your
Recessed Door Sensor has been installed.
3. Press the Action Button on your Z-Stick.
4. Press the Z-Wave Button on your sensor with
a small pin or toothpick.
5. If your Recessed Door Sensor had been
successfully linked to your network, its LED
light will remain illuminated for 10 minutes. If
the linking was unsuccessful, its LED light
will blink for 3 seconds before turning off.
6. Press the Action Button on the Z-Stick to take
it out of installation mode.
If you’re using a Minimote:
Include
1. Take your Minimote to the door in which your
Recessed Door Sensor has been installed.
2. Press the Include button on your Minimote.
3. Press the Z-Wave Button on your sensor
with a small pin or toothpick.
4. If your Recessed Door Sensor had been
successfully linked to your network, its LED
light will remain illuminated for 10 minutes. If
the linking was unsuccessful, its LED light
will blink for 3 seconds before turning off.
5. Press any button on your Minimote to take it
out of installation mode.
Advanced.
Remove your sensor from your Z-Wave
network.
Your Recessed Door Sensor can be removed
from your Z-Wave network at any time. You'll
need to use your Z-Wave network's main
controller to do this. The following instructions
tell you how to do this using Aeotec by Aeon
Labs' Z-Stick and Minimote controllers. If you
are using other products as your main Z-Wave
controller, please refer to the part of their
respective manuals that tell you how to remove
devices from your network.
