Quick Start.
The installation of your Door Window Sensor has two major steps: the Main Sensor and the Magnet. Your Door Window
Sensor will use wireless technology to talk to your Z-Wave network once paired to your Z-Wave network. Selecting where
you'll place your Door/Window Sensor in your home is just as important as the actual affixing it to the surface. Whether
it’s for security or intelligence purposes, your sensor: With your mounting plates prepared to hold each component of your
sensor, it’s time to add it to your Z-Wave network. With your sensor added to your Z-Wave network, it's now time to insert
each main part of your sensor into the corresponding sensor plate.
1. Should be affixed indoors and away from sources of moisture.
2. Placed within 30 meters of another Z-Wave device that is either a gateway or not powered by batteries.
3. The magnet and the main sensor must be less than 2cm apart. Main sensor must be affixed to the door or window
and the magnet must be affixed to the frame. The magnet and the main sensor must separate when the door or
window is opened.

Affix your Sensor plates to a surface. The Mounting plates can be affixed using screws or double-sided tape. If you are
using screws, attach both mounting plates to the respective surface using the two 20mm screws provided.
