MultiSensor

Motion, Temperature, Humidity, and Light Sensor)

(Z-Wave 4-in-1 Sensor:

Introduction:

The Aeotec MultiSensor is a USB or battery-powered
Z-Wave motion sensor, temperature sensor, humidity
sensor, and lighting sensor all in one package. The
sensor will send radio signals to up to 6 associated
Z-Wave devices within its own Z-Wave network when
the Motion Sensor detects IR changes in front of its
viewing window.

Indoor/Outdoor functional tolerances allow the Aeotec
MultiSensor to function under weatherized conditions.
Various sensitivity levels can be configured to avoid
unintentional triggering from small animals such as cats
and dogs.

By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network,
commands can be routed to their destination via
intermediary “listening” Z-Wave products. Products that
are Z-Wave certified can be used and communicate with
other Z-Wave certified devices.

Important Disclaimer:

This product uses radio to wirelessly communicate
data between itself and other devices. Radio
communication is inherently not always 100%
reliable, and as such, this product should not be
used in situations in which life and/or valuables are
solely dependent on its function.

· MultiSensor Power Instructions:

The Aeotec MultiSensor has built in battery level detection. It will
automatically report its battery level to the associated gateway
throughout its life until the battery is fully drained and needs
replacing. The battery status will often be displayed in the user
interface of the gateway.

When used properly in an optimized Z-Wave network, operation via
battery can function for 12 months before battery replacement.

Unlock the MultiSensor from it’s battery cover by twisting the

battery cover from the main unit in a counter-clockwise motion
and pulling the battery cover outward to separate the main unit
from the battery cover.

Recommendation: For networks which do not have a method to
display the battery level of the Aeotec MultiSensor, 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.

· MultiSensor Physical Installation Instructions:

There are 2 methods to physically mount the MultiSensor on the
wall or ceiling. It can be mounted flat against the wall via the
Back-Mount Plate or angled in a direction via the Back-Mount Arm.

Important: The MultiSensor is weatherized and can operate
outdoors in rain and snow. Placed outdoors where directly exposed
to rain and snow, the MultiSensor should be oriented such that the
Temperature/Humidity Sensor is facing downward and positioned
on the bottom of the unit. (See the Weatherization Orientation
section.)

Note: The Back-Mount Arm may be locked in various angles by
turning the Friction Lock clockwise and counter-clockwise to
tighten or loosen (respectively) the angle of the arm.

Recommendation: For best performance, the MultiSensor should
NOT be mounted directly on or near metal framing or other large
metallic objects. Large metal objects may weaken the radio signal
transmitted.

Z-Wave Network Instructions:

The Aeotec MultiSensor must be paired (included) into a
Z-Wave network before it can send Basic Set Command,
Temperature, Humidity, and Light level reports to
association group 1, which
Command class.
to devices within its own Z-Wave network.

Note: The LED on the MultiSensor will blink if it is currently
not paired into a Z-Wave network when pressing the
Z-Wave Button.

Monitoring Motion

The MultiSensor can send Basic Set Command to association group 1,
which is setup via the Association Command Class, when the Motion
Sensor detects movement to control the associated devices to “OPEN”
state. After 4 minutes by default, if the Motion Sensor is not triggered
again, the MultiSensor will send Basic Set Command to these devices to
set them to their “CLOSE” state. However, if the Motion Sensor is
triggered again in 4 minutes, the MultiSensor will reset the timing and
start timing again.

The 4 minutes delay time can be changed through the usage of Z-Wave
command built into Z-Wave certified controllers/gateways. (The specific
Z-Wave command supporting this function is Configuration Command
Class) Please consult the operation manual for these controllers /
gateways for specific instructions on setting the MultiSensor.

Monitoring Temperature, Humidity and Luminance

The MultiSensor can report temperature, humidity, and luminance to
a Z-Wave gateway or controller when requested. If this function is
supported by the gateway/controller, the data will be displayed in the
user interface of the gateway/controller. (The specific Z-Wave
command supporting the monitoring is the Multilevel Sensor
Command Class and Multi Channel Command Class. Automatic
reports are sent to association group 1, which is setup via the
Association Command Class.) Please consult the operation manual
for these gateways/controllers for specific instructions on setting the
MultiSensor.
