• Wait until pairing is completed.
• If pairing was successful, the LED (A) lights up green. The device is now ready for use.
• If the LED lights up red, please try again.
• Please select, in which application (e.g. climate control and/or security) you would like to use the device.
• In the app, give the device a name and allocate it to a room.
• Do not insert the battery compartment cover (C) yet.

6.2 Installation
The device must be mounted horizontally so that it can detected position changes.
You can attach the device to the desired position with either

• the supplied double-sided adhesive strips or
• the supplied screws .

6.2.1 Adhesive strip mounting
Make sure that the mounting surface is smooth, solid, non-disturbed, free of dust, grease and solvents and not too cold to ensure long-term adherence.
To mount the device with adhesive strips, please proceed as follows:

• Insert the battery compartment cover (C) until it fully latches into place.
• Attach the double-sided adhesive strips to the back of the battery compartment cover (C) (see figure 4).
• Press the back of the device onto the desired position.

6.2.2 Screw mounting
When selecting the installation location, check for electrical wires and power supply cables.
To mount the device using screws, please proceed as follows:

• Use a pen to mark the positions of the two bore holes with a distance of 40 mm on the wall.
• Position the battery compartment cover on the desired mounting position.

The screw holes (B) in the battery compartment cover do not have to be pre- drilled. You can simply screw the screws in through the plastic.
If you have wooden walls, you can pre-drill the holes with a 1.5 mm drill bit to make the screws easier to insert.

• Fasten the battery compartment cover by screwing the screws (see figure 5).
• Place the device on the mounted battery compartment cover until it fully latches into place.

Changing the batteries

If an empty battery is displayed via the app or the device (see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 30), replace the used batteries by two new LR03/micro/AAA batteries.
You must observe the correct battery polarity.
To replace the device batteries, please proceed as follows:

• In the mounted condition, the device can be separated easily from the battery compartment cover (C) by pressing the latch (D) up(see figure 2).
• Remove the used batteries.
• Insert two new 1.5 V LR03/micro/AAA batteries into the battery compartment (E), making sure that you insert them the right way round (see figure 6).
• Please pay attention to the flashing signals of the device LED while inserting the batteries (see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 30).
• Replace the device on the mounted battery compartment cover until it fully latches into place.

Once the batteries have been inserted, the device will perform a self-test for approx. 2 seconds. Afterwards, initialisation is carried out. The LED test display will indicate that initialisation is complete by lighting up or- ange and green.
Caution! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced correctly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Never recharge non- rechargeable batteries.
Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. There is a risk of explosion
****Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to your local battery disposal point.

Troubleshooting

8.1 Weak batteries
Provided that the voltage value permits it, the device will remain ready for operation even if the battery voltage is low. Depending on the particular load, it may be possible to send transmissions again repeatedly once the batteries have been allowed a brief recovery period.
If the voltage drops too far during transmission, this will be displayed on the device or via the Homematic IP app (see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 30). In this case, replace the empty batteries by two new batteries (see „7 Changing the batteries“ on page 28).
8.2 Command not confirmed
If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (A) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see „11 General information about radio operation“ on page 32). This may be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
• Receiver is faulty.

8.3 Duty cycle
The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.
In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction ends. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.
During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system.
If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long red flashing of the device LED (A), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly.
The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).
8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences

• Insert the fresh battery making sure that it is right way around while pressing the system button (A) at the same time. Press and hold down the system button until the LED (A) starts to flash quickly orange (see figure 8).
• Release the system button briefly and then press and hold the system button again until the orange flashing changes to a green light (see figure 9).
• Release the system button again to conclude the procedure.

The device will perform a restart.

Maintenance and cleaning

The device does not require you to carry out any maintenance other than replacing the battery when necessary. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any repairs.
Clean the device using a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.
The transmission range within buildings can differ significantly from that available in open space. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do onsite structural/screening conditions.
Hereby, eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Str. 29, 26789 Leer/Germany declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP-WUA is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.homematic-ip.com
