Tilt Sensor Installation Instructions

Product Overview

 Z-Wave+TM enabled device which transmits when a garage door is opened or closed
 Uses a tilt sensor to detect the angle of a door and transmits open/closed status
 Reports tamper condition if cover is removed

Product Specifications

 For indoor use only
 Operating frequency: 908.42 MHz
 Operating range: Up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) line-of-sight
 Operating temperature: 0˚C to 49˚C, 32˚F to 120˚F (ambient temperature)
 Battery type: 3V Lithium CR123A
 Battery life: 5 to 8 years depending upon operating conditions

Network Inclusion

The sensor must be added to a Z-Wave network prior to use. To
include the sensor in a network both the sensor 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.

STEP ONE Start by placing the controller into inclusion mode.
STEP TWO Activate inclusion mode for the sensor by inserting the battery. When the inclusion process is complete the red

LED will turn on for approximately 10 seconds and then it will go out. If the LED continues to flash, repeat the
inclusion process.

STEP THREE Test the garage door sensor before mounting it. Hold the sensor in your hand. Flip the sensor upside-

down and watch the LED while doing so. The LED will flash each time the position of the sensor is changed. If
your Z-Wave network has a software interface you may verify that the messages from the sensor are being
received each time the sensor is flipped.

Notes: If you need to repeat the inclusion process, repeat STEP ONE above, then for STEP TWO you will need to simply remove the cover of the sensor, remove the

battery for 5 seconds, reinsert the battery, and replace the sensor cover. This will re-enter the sensor in inclusion mode.

Network Inclusion: Key Points to Remember

 Controller inclusion mode must be activated BEFORE starting sensor inclusion mode.
 The sensor can only be included in one network at a time. The sensor must be excluded from one network before inclusion in another.
 The sensor automatically enters inclusion mode at power-up.

 Exclusion mode on the senor is initiated following the same exact procedure as inclusion.

Installation

No tools required. Drill, screwdriver, pencil optional.
The package contains the following:

1- Sensor
1- Sensor mounting bracket
2- mounting bracket screws
1- sensor to bracket screw
1- battery
1- piece of adhesive tape

STEP ONE Identify Location for Tilt Sensor:
Choose a mounting method that is appropriate for your garage door. 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.

STEP TWO Mount the Tilt sensor to a clean dry surface WITH THE ARROW ON THE SIDE OF THE SENSOR POINTING UP

Before you mount the sensor, make certain that the arrow on the side of the Tilt sensor is pointing UP when assembled in the
mounting bracket.

The sensor can be mounted using adhesive tape and/or screws. 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 (including many modern metal garage doors).

Adhesive Tape:

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 long-lasting 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.

Screws:

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.
