Performance of the device in the Z-Wave network

When delivered the device is not connected to any Z-Wave network. It must be 

integrated into an existing Z-Wave network so that it can communicate with oth-

er Z-Wave devices. This process is called Z-Wave inclusion. Devices can also be 

removed from networks again. This process is called Z-Wave exclusion. Both pro-

cesses are started from a controller that must be switched to an inclusion and/or 

exclusion mode. The manual of the Gateway contains information on how it is to be 

switched into these modes. 

Devices can only be added when the Gateway of the Z-Wave network is in inclusion 

mode. Leaving the network by exclusion will reset this device to its factory default. 

Switch the Gateway to the inclusion/exclusion mode. To confirm the inclusion/ex-

clusion  process, press the button I on the battery cover of the device. Upon 

successful inclusion/exclusion the LED on the sensor lights up when the button I is 

pressed for a few seconds. 

Operation of the device

The multi-sensor reports the measured temperature, humidity, and brightness to 

the Z-Wave gateway or the 

controller

 upon request. Moreover, it can also send 

signals to up to 6 other Z-Wave devices in its Z-Wave network if they are linked to 

the sensor.

The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted manually using the setting 

wheel in the battery holder. To increase the sensitivity, turn the wheel clockwise;  

to decrease it, turn the wheel counterclockwise. 

Communication with a battery-powered device 

The device is battery-powered and to save power it is thus usually in deep sleep 

mode. In deep sleep mode the device cannot receive any wireless signals. There-

fore a (static) controller is required, which is mains-powered and therefore always 

available for wireless data transmission. This controller - for example an IP gateway 

- manages a message mailbox for this battery-powered device, in which messages 

to the device can be temporarily stored. Without such a statisc controller using this 

battery-powered device will quickly discharge the battery or render use completely 

impossible. 

This device regularly „wakes up,“ reports this by sending a so-called wake up no-

tification and then empties its mailbox in the static controller. The node ID of the 

controller and a wake up interval must be defined with the inclusion. If the inclusion 

is carried out by means of a static controller such as an IP gateway, this controller 

will automatically perform this configuration and usually offer a user interface , to 

adapt the wake up interval to user needs. The wake up interval is a compromise 

between maximum battery life and minimum response time of the battery-powered 

device. 

 CAUTION!

The device is not a toy. Keep away from children and pets. The device cannot be 

repaired and must not be opened. 

Disposal guidelines

This device contains batteries. Please refer to the applicable disposal regula-

tions for batteries. It is an electrical device. It can be disposed of free of 

charge at specified disposal sites.

Simplified declaration of conformity as per the RED Directive

Schwaiger GmbH hereby declares that the described radio system product com-

plies with Directive 2014/53/EU and other directives applicable to the product. 

The complete EU declaration of conformity is available online at: http://konform.

Durch Drücken der In-/Exklusiontaste hinter dem Batteriefach wird das Gerät 

aufgeweckt und kann Netzwerkbefehle erhalten. Through pressing the inclusion /

exclusion button behind the battery holder, the device wakes up and can receive 

network commands.

It is possible to specify the device number 255 as the destination device for the 

wake up notification. In this case, the message is sent as a broadcast to all devices 

with direct wireless connection. The advantage of immediate notification is offset 

by the disadvantage that, where appropriate, the device consumes more time in 

active mode and thus more battery capacity.
