What is Strips?
Strips is a ZigBee magnet sensor that can be added to any
certified ZigBee system with minimal efforts.
ZigBee is an international standard for wireless
communication that is also used in smart homes and
buildings enabling you to monitor and control your home
remotely.
Please follow our three steps in this guide to get started.
1. Add (figure 1–4)
2. Plan (figure 5)
3. Place (figure 6-10)

Benefits
Follow the process below to add Strips to your network.
1. Can notify you when you’ve left a window or door open.
2. Can monitor temperature and alert you on every 2°C
change.
3. Can measure moisture level and notify you on a
significant change.
4. Ultra-thin design allows Strips to be manually mounted
“invisibly” between most doors/windows and their frames.
5. Up to 10 years of battery life means no more changing
batteries.
6. Simple to mount with the included adhesive backing
7. Extra protection for tampering with the included metal foil
at the back of your Strips.
ADD ENGLISH

Strips ZigBee Source Text v2
Follow the process below to add Strips to your network
straight out of the box.
Start the add mode on your ZigBee controller. See your
controller’s manual.
Strips comes in auto-inclusion mode. Remove the magnets
and the metal foil placed at the back of the Strips. Strips
will blink 3 times every 5 seconds indicating a network
search.
Your ZigBee controller should now be able to find Strips and
upon a successful inclusion should be able to monitor
your Strips sensor status as well as temperature and
moisture.
Move the squared magnet (A) as shown in the pictures.
Check that your ZigBee system indicates the status
correctly.
Follow the process below to add Strips to your network
manually.
Start the add mode on your ZigBee controller. See your
controller’s manual.
Stay within the controller’s range. Place the round magnet
(B) at the rounded edge. When the LED blinks, move
the magnet away. Repeat a total of 3 times within 10
seconds. (6 LED blinks or until the LED blinks long and
start searching for network)
Your ZigBee controller application should now be able to
monitor your Strips sensor status as well as
temperature and moisture.
Move the squared magnet (A) as shown in the pictures.
Check that your ZigBee system indicates the status
correctly.

For good communication
Strips uses low power radio signals to communicate with
your ZigBee controller. For best results, please consider the
following:
● Strips is designed to fit invisibly in most wood,
wood/aluminum and plastic windows and doors
● Strips should not be mounted directly on metal
surfaces or within a metal structure as the range will
be reduced.
● The magnet should not be placed on metal.
● Strips range is up to 30 meters. (need to verify)
● Any non-battery ZigBee device will act as a repeater to
increase network reliability and range. Usage of
repeaters will reduce Strips’ battery life.
For good functionality in the door or window
● To place Strips invisibly, you need a gap with a
minimum height of 3.5 mm. If the round magnet fits,
the gap height should be enough.
● Strips may be mounted on the frame (recommended)
and the magnet on the door/window, or vice versa.
● Check that magnet (A) can be placed so that it is less
than 10 mm away from Strips’ flat end when the
window is closed. When the window is open, the
magnet should be at least 30 mm away from Strips.
● Open the window/door fully to check that the
placement of Strips and the magnet does not interfere
with hinges or locking mechanisms.
● Place the metal foil on your door/window frame
carefully and mount Strips right on top of it to be able
to use the tamper detection by foil properly.

Please follow the steps below to correctly mount
Strips:
1. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and at least + 10°
C. Use the included cloth to clean and prepare the
surfaces.
2. Remove the short protective film from the small Strips
test adhesive. The small adhesive is used before the
final placement so it is easy to move Strips if needed.
3. Place Strips where you want it mounted. Check the
position by carefully closing the door/window and then
opening it completely again.
4. Measure and identify where the magnet (A) should be
placed. Remove the protective film and place the
magnet. Close and open again to validate that your
ZigBee controller detected the changes. Re-mount if
needed.
5. When you are satisfied, mark the exact position for
Strips. Remove it from its position, ensure that the
surface is still clean,
6. Place the metal foil on the frame first and make sure it
is glued properly.
7. Remove the long film protecting the adhesive backing
and place Strips exactly as you marked right on top of
the placed metal foil. The long adhesive is used to
make the final placement of Strips.
8. Check that the door/window can be fully closed and
opened and that your ZigBee controller detects the
changes.
9. Keep the round magnet (B); since it can be used to
wake up, remove or reset Strips in the future.
Enjoy Strips for years to come!

Normally used to send Strips’ status to the ZigBee controller.
Tamper Strips will send a tampering alert if it detects a magnet on the rounded
edge side once its included in a network or if the metal foil is removed
