PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

We do not recommend mounting the device on metal surfaces for the best radio performance.
It is possible to install the device with screws (not included). We recommend using 2.5 mm x 16 mm countersunk head screws with 5 mm head diameter. The magnet still has to be stuck on.

Installing Door/Window-Control

Check that the sensor and magnet surfaces are clean.
Carefully remove one protective layer from the double-sided stickers included in the package. Apply the stickers to the sensor and magnet.
Peel off protective layer from the sensor and magnet.
Stick the sensor onto the frame and magnet onto the moving part of the door/window (no further than 5 mm from the sensor).

Positioning of the Sensor and the magnet

Correct positioning of the magnet in relation to the Sensor

OPERATING THE DEVICE

Tamper (TMP) button

Door/Window-Control is equipped with a tamper switch with two buttons:

Nice-SPC003-1-Wireless-Contact-Sensor-FIG-8

First TMP button is located inside the device, pressed by the closed cover and is used to detect openning it.
Second TMP button is located at bottom of the device, pressed by the surface on which the device is mounted and is used to detect detaching the device.

For the tamper switch to work one of the buttons must always be pressed! When one of the buttons is released, the tamper alarm will be send to the controller and associated devices. Additionally, tamper button allows to control the device directly.

Waking up Door/Window-Control

Door/Window-Control needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the controller, like parameters and associations. To wake up the sensor manually, click one of the TMP buttons (while the other button is pressed).

Resetting the Door/Window-Control

Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted.

In order to reset the device:

Open the cover (Opening the casing may result in triggering an alarm. To avoid it, remove the associations for the 3rd group).
Remove the battery.
Install the battery while holding both TMP buttons.
Visual LED indicator will be flashing slowly for 5 seconds – keep holding the buttons.
Release one button when the LED indicator starts flashing quickly.
Click released button once to confirm launching of reset procedure.
Wait a few seconds until a long blink of the LED indicator. Do not remove the battery.
Visual LED indicator will blink 5 times quickly to confirm the reset.

Note: Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing described in “Removing the device”

Replacing the battery

The current battery level is shown in the interface of the Z-Wave controller. If the device is added to Yubii Home and a battery icon turns red, it means the battery needs replacement.

_ Note: _Other Z-Wave controllers may present it differently.

Notification report

The device uses Notification Command Class to report different events.

Table A1 – Notification reports of the events

Note: Command Class Basic value is related to the status of contact sensor (0x00 – closed, 0xFF – opened, on default setting of parameter 1. “Door/window state “).

ASSOCIATIONS

Association (linking devices): direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller). Association allows direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in direct range.

Door/Window-Control provides the association of three groups:

1st Association Group: “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd Association Group: “On/Off” is assigned to the device status – contact sensor (sends Basic Set command frames).
3rd Association Group : “Tamper” is assigned to the TMP switch (sends alarm command frames).

Door/Window-Control in 2nd and 3rd group allows to control 5 devices (regular or multichannel) per an association group.
“Lifeline” group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.
“Lifeline“ supported Z-Wave Command Classes: Notification, Battery, Sensor Multilevel, Device Reset Locally.

ADVANCED PARAMETERS

The device allows to customize its operation to user’s needs using configurable parameters.
The settings can be adjusted via Z-Wave controller to which the device is added. The way of adjusting them might differ depending on the controller.
Note. Entering invalid value of parameter will result in response with Application Rejected frame and not setting the value.

Wake up interval

Door/Window-Control will wake up after each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. After a successful communication attempt, the sensor will update configuration parameters, associations and settings and will go into standby mode. After failed communication attempt (e.g. lack of Z-Wave range) the device will go into standby mode and retry to establish connection with the main controller after the next time interval.

Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up Notification frame automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually by a clicking one of the TMP buttons (while the other button is pressed).

Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds (1-18h), 3600s (1h) step)
Default setting: 21600 (6h)

Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life.
