CAUTION
This is an electrical device – please use caution when installing and
operating the DC Signal Sensor. Remote control of appliances may result in
unintentional or automated activation of power.
Do not use this Z-Wave device to control electric heaters or other appliances
which produce the risk of fire, burns, or electrical shock when unattended.
To reduce risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not
install this unit to control a receptacle; a motor-operated appliance; a
fluorescent lighting fixture; any device over 32 V DC power; or a transformer-
supplied fixture. Use with low-voltage inputs only.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National
Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed
electrician perform this installation. This is NOT a security alarm component
and the device is NOT part of a life-safety system. Check local regulations
before installing.
WIRING: READ IT!
-
LOCATE THE DETECTOR : install the DC Signal Sensor in the box with the last smoke detector in series, it will only have 3 wires in the box (usually black, white, and red).
-
POWER OFF: turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before you start.
-
CHECK THE WIRES: mark the interconnect alarm wire (usually red), power line (usually black), and neutral (white). Don’t rely exclusively on your multimeter to identify the wires!
NOT SURE WHAT YOU’RE SEEING? WE’LL HELP! SUPPORT.GETZOOZ.COM SEND US PICTURES OF YOUR SET-UP, BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT WIRES. -
DISCONNECT THE DETECTOR: remove the wires from the smoke detector and label them accordingly.
-
CONNECT THE DC SIGNAL SENSOR: follow all installation steps carefully. Wire the device EXACTLY like in the diagram. Depending on your set-up, you may need a custom diagram to connect a load to the relay part of the DC Signal Sensor. These instructions only cover the basic wiring for smoke and CO alarm monitoring from an existing interconnect detector. Scan the QR code on page 3 to access more wiring diagrams and expanded instructions for different installation types.
ZEN55 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR INTERCONNECTED SMOKE DETECTORS
- Cap the IN and OUT wires on the ZEN55.
- Connect the interconnect wire (usually red) on the smoke detector to the S pigtail on the ZEN55.
- Connect the L pigtail on the ZEN55 to the line bundle from the 120 V power source (usually black).
- Connect the N pigtail on the ZEN55 to the neutral bundle from the 120 V power source (usually white).

COMPLETE INSTALLATION
Secure your Z-Wave DC Signal Sensor and the smoke / CO detector back in the
box, handling the wires with care.
Restore power to the circuit.
If using Smart Start to add your device to the Z-Wave hub, please wait with
putting it back into the box since you’ll need to scan the QR code on the DC
Signal Sensor and activate it for inclusion. Turn the power off at the breaker
again before putting the wires back into the box.
Z-WAVE CONTROL
- ADD DEVICE to your hub Initiate inclusion (pairing) in the app (or web interface). Check Long Range if using. Not sure how? Scan one of the QR codes below for step-by-step instructions or get in touch: www.support.getzooz.com
- Finalize inclusion at the device.
TAP THE Z-WAVE BUTTON 3 TIMES QUICKLY if using traditional Z-Wave inclusion.
SCAN THE QR CODE / ENTER THE 5-DIGIT PIN if using the new Smart Start method.
The Smart Start security PIN is located on the back of the device, next to the
ETL logo.
The LED indicator will blink green to signal communication and turn green for
2 seconds if inclusion is successful or turn red for 2 seconds if the pairing
attempt fails.

INSTALLATION TIPS
- Always turn off the power at the breaker before handling the wiring, this is a 120 V high-voltage installation.
- Analog interconnected smoke detectors required (sold separately) – this DC Signal Sensor only translates the signal from your existing alarms to Z-Wave.
- Use with any standard interconnect smoke alarms.
- When adding the DC Signal Sensor to your hub, you may need to scan the QR code or enter the PIN code located on the back of the device (if your system supports Smart Start). Refer to the Z-Wave Control portion of the manual for detailed instructions.
- Test the detector’s alarm (follow the instructions for your unit) to see if the status of the Signal Sensor changes in your hub’s interface once the alarm goes off. Remember to warn your family members or roommates when testing this!
- You’ll need to create an automation in your hub for a notification to be sent to your phone or email once the status on the DC Signal Sensor changes to “alarm detected” so you can immediately know if the detector is triggered.
- Remember that this DC Signal Sensor is NOT designed to be a part of your alarm panel and is NOT a life safety device.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The device won’t add to your system? Try this:
- Initiate EXCLUSION and click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly.
- Click the Z-Wave button 4-5 times quickly to add.
- Bring the gateway controller (hub) closer to the device, it may be out of range.
- Get troubleshooting tips for your hub at www.support.getzooz.com
EXCLUSION (REMOVING / UNPAIRING DEVICE)
- Bring your Z-Wave hub close to the device if possible
- Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? ask@getzooz.com)
- Click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly (the LED indicator will start blinking green)
- Your hub will confirm exclusion, the LED indicator on the device will turn green for 2 seconds, and the ZEN55 will disappear from your controller’s device list.
FACTORY RESET
If your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the
device to factory settings. To reset the ZEN55, click the Z-Wave button once
and immediately are, press and hold it down for 15 seconds. The LED indicator
will flash during the process and turn red for 3 seconds to confirm successful
reset.
