Installation Instructions
(1) Identify location for Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor. It is very important
that the Tilt sensor be located on the top section of a multi-panel
garage door. This will be the first section to tilt when the door is
opened and the last to move to the vertical position when closing.

(2) Mount the Tilt sensor mounting bracket a clean dry surface with the
sensor screw facing the floor. The bracket can be mounted by the
screws of adhesive tape. Caution: Use of the screws is only
recommended for garage doors that are thicker than the screws are
long. Use the adhesive tape for any garage door that is thinner than
the length of the provided screws.
(3) Adhesive Tape Mounting: Make sure that the desired mounting
location on the door is clean and dry. The adhesive tape can
withstand the temperature and humidity conditions of a typical
garage. However, it is recommended that the sensor be mounted
when air or surface temperatures are not extreme. Installing the
adhesive tape when the conditions are right promotes a good longlasting adhesive bond between the bracket and the surface of the
door. Peel back the outer layer of one side of the adhesive tape,
stick the tape to the garage door and press firmly. Peel back the
outer layer on the other side of the tape and press the mounting
bracket firmly onto the adhesive tape.
(4) Screws Mounting: Place the mounting bracket in the desired
position on the garage door. Use the mounting bracket as a
template to mark the location of the screw holes with a pencil. Drill
a small hole through each of the marked locations. Use a
screwdriver to fasten the mounting bracket to the door.
(5) Install 1x CR123A batteries provided in the package.
(6) Before the sensor is secured to the mounting bracket. Follow the
inclusion instructions to verify successful communication with the ZWave Controller.Follow the Network Inclusion steps in next section.
(7) After network inclusion, secure the sensor onto the mounting
bracket with the sensor screw.
(8) Test the connection by opening and closing your garage and
observing the open and close statuses.
Network Inclusion
The Z-Wave Plus Garage Tilt Sensor must be added to a Z-Wave Plus
network prior to use. To include the device in a network both the
device and the network controller must be in inclusion mode at the
same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of
your specific controller for details on initiating the controller’s
inclusion mode.
1) Verify that the Z-Wave Plus controller you are using is compatible
with the Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor.
2) Put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode.
3) Insert the battery and press the learn button on the tilt sensor.
4) The LED on the front of the unit will turn off if network inclusion is
successful.

Network Exclusion
1) Any Z-Wave Plus Device can be removed from any Z-Wave Plus
controller. Follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Plus
Controller into exclusion mode.
2) Press the inclusion / exclusion button on the Z-Wave Plus Tilt
Sensor.
3) The LED in front of the unit will blink steadily if the network
exclusion is successful.
*Please refer to the LED status section for more information on the
LED behavior
Notes:
• Controller inclusion mode must be activated BEFORE starting
sensor inclusion or exclusion mode.
• The device can only be included into one controller network at
a time, and must be excluded from one network before
inclusion in another.
LED Status
The Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor is equipped with a red LED.
The state of the LED will change based on the state of the device.
LED Blinking - Device in learn mode
LED On - Device OTA (over the air) Update
LED blink - Tilt Detected/Restore, Tamper Detected/Restore
Battery State
The Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor will alert the user when the batteries
become low. The Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor will continue reporting the
state of the sensor until the batteries are completely depleted.
Factory Default
Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller
is missing or otherwise inoperable.
The Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor can be factory defaulted by pressing and
holding the factory reset button for 5 seconds.

Z-Wave Plus Specific Information
Z-Wave Plus is a wireless mesh network and data protocol that allows devices from
many different manufacturers to interoperate. This device implements Z-Wave Plus
functionality, Network Wide Inclusion. The following information is intended for
software engineers working on Z-Wave Plus controllers and home automation
enthusiasts to integrate the Z-Wave Plus device into their system. This product can
be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other
manufacturers. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as
repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.
Z-Wave Plus Command Class Basic
For backwards compatibility with older Z-Wave Plus Controllers, the Basic
Command Class is supported in the following manner. A Basic Report of 0xFF is
Garage Open. A basic report of 0x00 is garage closed.
Manufacturer ID 0x01 4A
Product Type 0x00 05
Product ID 0x04 AA
Network Wide Inclusion
This device also supports Network Wide Inclusion such that the device can be
included into the Z-Wave network over the mesh network and not directly near the
main controller. This mode is automatically activated after regular inclusion was not
successful.
Command Class Association
This Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor has two Association groups of 1 nodes.
Group one – Group one is the lifeline group. The garage door tilt sensor will send
Basic Reports with a value of 0x00 if the door is closed and 0xFF if the door is
opened to all nodes in group 1.
Commands Sent to Association Group One

indicates that battery should be changed
soon. A battery level of 0xFF indicates that
the battery should be changed
immediately.
*Notification Reports can be configured through the Notification Set of Notification Type 0x07, and
status of: 0x00: This type of notification turned off. 0xFF: This type of notification turned on.

S2 Encryption
The sensor uses industry standard elliptic key cryptography to encrypt all sensitive
communications. The DSK code is located on an insert in the product’s packaging.
The DSK code will also be on the QR code on the back of the sensor. The DSK is used
for authenticating the encrypted command classes in the table above. A Security
Enabled Z-Wave Controller must be used to fully utilize the product.
