Mounting

Please read this entire section before starting to mount the device.

Selecting a suitable mounting location

• Select a window or door for mounting the window / door contact.

• Fasten the window / door contact on the side of the window or door where the handle is located, in the upper third of the window/door frame (see “5.2.2 Adhesive strip or screw mounting” on page 43) (see figure 4).

• The infra-red sensor (E) has to point into the direction of the window/door casement (see figure 4).
  The ideal spacing between the housing edge of the window / door contact and the window/door casement should be 3 mm (see figure 4).
  

• If the window/door handle is located on the right side you have to turn around the window / door contact so that the infra-red sensor (E) points into the direction of the window/door casement also on this side (see figure 4).

If the window/door casement is too small, the device can not be mounted.

For poorly reflecting surfaces (e.g. dark window frames) the supplied reflecting sticker has to be fixed to the inner edge of the window/door casement on the opposite of the infra-red sensor of the window / door contact.

Adhesive strip or screw mounting

You can use

• the supplied double-sided adhesive strips or
• the supplied screws to fix the device to the window/door frame.

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-time adherence.

For mounting the device using the adhesive strips, please proceed as follows:

• Place the cap (B) on the electronic unit (A) .
• Attach the double-sided adhesive strips to the back of the electronic unit (A), remove the film and press the the device to the desired position of the window/door frame (see figure 5).
  

For residue-free and easy removal of the adhesive strips, allow the adhesive strips to protrude slightly over the edge of the housing.

Screw mounting

Using screws will damage the window and/or door. For those living in rented accommodation, this could lead to a landlord making claim for compensation or holding back a tenant’s deposit.

For mounting the device using screws proceed as follows:

• For mounting the device on hard surfaces, mark the screw holes (D) at a distance of 70 mm from the desired position on the window/door frame (see figure 6).

• If you are working with hard surfaces you should pre-drill the holes marked using a 1.5 mm drill. This is not necessary for soft surfaces (see figure 6).
  
  The screw holes (D) do not need to be pre-drilled. Simply screw in the screws through the plastic.

• Place the electronic unit (A) to the desired mounting location and turn both screws supplied into the window/door frame using the bore holes (see figure 7).
  

• Place the cap (B) to the electronic unit.

Replacing batteries

If an empty battery is displayed via the app or the device (see “7.4 Error codes and flashing sequences” on page 48), replace the used batteries by two new LR03/ micro/AAA batteries. You must observe the correct battery polarity.

To replace the batteries, please proceed as follows:

• Open the battery compartment (C) by first pulling the cover cap (B) a little backwards and then upwards (see figure 2).
• Remove the empty batteries.
• Insert two new 1.5 V LR03/micro/AAA batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that you insert them the right way round (see figure 8).
• Pay attention to the flashing signals of the device LED (F) while inserting the batteries (see “7.4 Error codes and flashing sequences” on page 48).
• Put the cap back to the electronic unit (A).

Once the batteries have been inserted, the device will perform a self-test (approx. 2 seconds). Afterwards, initialization is carried out. The LED test display will indicate that initialization is complete by lighting up orange 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. Doing so will present a risk of explosion.

Troubleshooting

Weak batteries

Provided that the voltage value permits it, the device will remain ready for operation also 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 “7.4 Error codes and flashing sequences” on page 48). In this case, replace the empty batteries by two new batteries (see “6 Replacing batteries” on page 45).

Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (F) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see “10 General information about radio operation” on page 51). The failed transmission may also be caused by the following:

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

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 comes to an end. 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 teachin 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 flash of the device LED (F), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

Error codes and flashing sequences

Please try again (see sec. “7.2 Command not confirmed” on page46 or “7.3 Duty cycle”on page 47).
Short orange flashing (every 10 s)| Teach-in mode active| Enter the last four num- bers of the device serial number to confirm (see “5.1 Pairing” on page 38).
Short orange lighting (after green or red confirmation)| Batteries empty| Replace the batteries of the device (see “6 Replacing batteries” on page 45).
Long and short orange flashing (alternating)| Device soft- ware update (OTAU)| Wait until the update is completed.
6x long red flashing| Device defective| Have a look at your app for error message or contact your retailer.
1x orange and1 x green lighting (after inserting batteries)| Test display| Once the test display has stopped, you can continue.

Restore factory settings

The factory settings of the device can be restored.
If you do this, you will lose all your settings.

To restore the factory settings of the device, proceed as follows:

• Open the battery compartment (C) by first pulling the cover cap (B) a little backwards and then upwards (see figure 2).

• Remove a battery.

• Re-insert the battery making sure that it is right way around while pressing the system button (F) at the same time. Press and hold down the system button until the device LED (F) starts to flash quickly orange (see figure 9).
  
  

• Release the system button briefly and then press and hold the system button again until the orange flashing changes to a green lighting (see figure 10).
  

• Release the system button to finish the procedure.

The device will perform a restart.

Maintenance and cleaning

This product 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, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. 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 range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air.
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 on-site structural/ screening conditions.

Hereby, eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Str. 29, 26789 Leer/Germany declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP-SWDO-PL-2 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address:
