Product Description

The Zigbee Door Sensor is a magnetic contact sensor. The Door/Window Sensor uses a
magnet to enable you to monitor the opening or closing of a door, window, cabinet, or
whatever else needs to be checked for movement.

How It Works

The sensor monitors the status of the magnetic contact.
When a change is detected with an opening or closing of
a monitored door or window because the magnet is too
far away or close by, the sensor sends a notice of the
event via Zigbee. The sensor can detect the magnet on
the left, right, or top side.

Installation

- Please familiarize yourself with the concepts of Zigbee Networking with the

“Understanding Sensor Networking” paper.

- The network Coordinator and any Routers must be set up before setting up this

sensor.

- Open the battery compartment and pull out the battery activation tab. The blue

LED should flash briefly indicating successful power up. Close up the unit.

Sensor Mounting

Please consider the following points when mounting the sensor:

 The Door/Window Sensor is constructed of UV resistant ABS plastic allowing for

indoor or outdoor use.

 The Door/Window Sensor is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. If installing

the Wireless Door/Window Sensor outside, it should be shielded from the elements,
such as underneath a porch roof. Do not install the sensor where it is subjected
directly to the elements.

 Typically, the sensor's wireless reception is good to up to 250 feet from the zlosese

Zigbee Router, depending on indoor or outdoor use and the number of obstacles.
These can include metal framing, thick walls, etc. It is recommended that different
positions be tried for optimal results.

The spacing between the sensor and the contact should be between 1/10 inch and ½ inch
(.25 cm to 1.27 cm).

Mount Your Door/Window Sensor

1. Mount Your Door/Window Sensor . The easiest way is to use the

double sided foam tape supplied with the sensor. Make sure the contact
area is clean and dry and apply pressure on the tape for at least 30
seconds.

You can also mount the sensor more securely using the screws in the hardware kit. Using
the drilling template found later in this guide, drill two pilot holes for the screws. Affix
the screws to one side of the object (typically the "stationary" side) leaving 1/16" (1.6
mm) space between the screw head and the object. Mount the sensor onto the screws and
slide down to lock into place.

2. Using the holes on the drilling template, mark the position of the holes to be drilled.
For drywall or other composite surfaces use a 7/ 32" drill bit. Drill a hole for each of the
mounting screws and insert a plastic wall anchor into each hole. For other solid surfaces
use a 1/16" drill bit. Drill a pilot hole for each of the mounting screws.

Warning, when mounting near a window, drilling too close to the glass could break the
glass and possibly cause it to shatter. The window extends deeper into the frame than can
be seen; therefore, ensure your screw is beyond the glass before drilling.

3. The magnetic contact should now be placed on the other side of the object.

Install the Magnetic Contact

1. Either peel the paper strip from the double-sided tape located on the back of the
contact, or you can more securely attach it using screws in the hardware kit. Remove the
cover from the contact and insert the screws through the holes on the top and bottom of
the contact. Use the Wall Mounting Drilling template at the end of this guide to assist
you.

2. Make sure the magnetic contact aligns with the top of the sensor on either the left or

right side, or centered with the top of the sensor.

Commissioning

- Once powered up the sensor will automatically join the Zigbee network.
