Strips are Z-Wave magnet sensors that can be added to any
certified Z-Wave system and operate with any Z-Wave device.
Z-Wave is an international standard for wireless communication
in smart homes and buildings enabling you to monitor and
control your home remotely.
Please follow the three steps in this guide to get started.

For good communication
Strips uses low power radio signals to communicate with your
Z-Wave controller. For best results, please consider the following:
• Strips are designed to fit invisibly in between most wood,
aluminum, and plastic door and window frames.
• Strips should not be mounted directly on magnetic surfaces
or within a metal structure as the range will be reduced.
• Strips range is up to 40 meters.
• Any non-battery Z-Wave device will act as a repeater to
increase network reliability and range. Usage of repeaters will
reduce Strips’ battery life.
Strips are delivered in auto-add mode.
Follow the process below to add Strips to your network.
1. Start the add mode on your Z-Wave controller.
See your controller’s manual.
2. Keep Strips close to its intended location during the add
process. Remove both magnets. 1 long blink confirms the
addition.
3. YourZ-Wave controller application should now be able to
monitor your Strips sensor status.
4. Move the squared magnet (A) away from the squared end.
Check that your Z-Wave system indicates the status
correctly.
5. If your Z-Wave system doesn’t respond, you may need to
change Strips’ notification type from the controller.
For good functionality in the door or window
• To place Strips invisibly, you need a gap with a minimum
height of 3.5 mm.
• Strips may be mounted on the frame (recommended)
and the magnet on the door/window, orvice versa.
• Check that magnet (A) can be placed so that it is less
than 10 mm 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 door/window fully to check that the placement of
Strips and the magnet does not interfere with hinges or
locking mechanisms.
To correctly mount Strips, please follow the steps below:
1. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and at least +10°C(+50°F)
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 Z-Wave
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, remove the long film protecting the adhesive backing
and place Strips exactly as you marked. The long adhesive is
used to make the final placement of Strips.
6. Check that the door/window can be fully closed and opened
and that your Z-Wave controller detects the changes.
7. Keep the round magnet (B); since it can be used to wake up,
remove or reset Strips in the future.
More guidance including instructional videos:

Towake up Strips manually for Z-Wave communication, first 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.
Set your controllerin add or remove mode (see your controller’smanual).
Follow the instruction above forWake up. A long LED blink indicates that the
add/remove was successful.
You may needtoreset Strips if your Z-Wave controller is missing ornot responding.
Follow the instructions for“Wake up” above, but on the 3rd repetition,leave the
magnet at the rounded edgefor 10 seconds. Along LED signal indicates success.
Strips supports association group 1 (lifeline), max 1 node,
normally used to send Strips’ status to the Z-Wave controller.
Strips will send a tamper alert if it detects that someonetries to wake up or
manipulate Strips.
