Product Description
For use as both:
▪ Entry Door Sensing
▪ Outside Door / Window Sensing
The Verve Door/Window Sensor provides energy savings by
detecting when a door or window opens or closes.
It is a wireless solar-powered sensor that can be used on its own
to detect the open and closed status of entry doors or windows,
or it can be linked with occupancy sensors to more accurately
track when a room is occupied or vacant.
The sensor is easy to install on door and window frames, and
virtually anything indoors that opens and closes.
Features Include:
▪ Sends wireless message to other devices whenever a door or
window opens or closes
▪ Harvests ambient solar energy to power the sensor and send
wireless communication
▪ Mounts easily on standard doors or windows
▪ Works with motion sensors to track room occupancy

Planning
Take a moment to plan for the sensor’s successful operation and
optimal communication with other system components.
Remove the sensor from its packaging and place it under a
strong light to charge it for installation.
▪ Ensure the location provides consistent and adequate light
▪ Install according to the alignment requirements
▪ Determine which sensor prole is appropriate (when linking
with EnOcean-based In-line Switch, Plug-in Switch or HVAC
Setback Modules (refer to the “Linking” and “Sensor Proles”
sections) - otherwise; when linking with 3rd party control-
lers, these proles aren’t relevant
Consider the construction materials, such as metal and concrete,
in the space and obstacles that may interfere with RF signals

Alignment Requirements
The proximity of the magnet to the sensor is important for
proper detection. The alignment arrows on the sensor and the
magnet must point to each other and the gap between them
must not exceed .25 inch (6.4mm) in any direction.

B. Position the mounting bracket and mark the two mount-
ing screw drill points.
C. Insert the rst screw loosely and level the mounting
bracket.
D. Install the second screw, and then hand-tighten the rst
screw.
E. Snap the sensor onto the mounting bracket where the
notches are located.
Installing
1. Based on your requirements, decide where you want to install the sensor and the magnet. For door installations, locate
the sensor:
• On the knob side of the door jamb, away from hinges.
• At least 1 ft. (30 cm) above the oor to avoid damage.
For window installations, make sure the location does not
expose the sensor to contact with water.
2. Follow the alignment requirements that are described in the
Planning section.
NOTE: For easy access and handling, it is recommends that
the sensor be linked to a transceiver before installing it, see
the Linking section.
3. Install the sensor on the interior side of the xed frame.
A. Remove the mounting
bracket from the sensor.
F. Slide the sensor on the bracket until it snaps into place
on the tab lock.
4. Install the magnet on the moving part of the door or window.
A. Use a screwdriver to press the tab lock and ex the mag-
net cover to remove it.
The cover is removed from the magnet body.
