Mounting
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.
- Fix one part of the window/door contact (magnetic contact (I) or electronic unit (K)) to the moving part (door or window wing), the other one at the stationary part (frame) of the window or door (see figure 5).
- 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 figure 5) (for fastening see “5.2.2 Adhesive strip or screw mounting” on page 45).
- The magnetic contact can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical way, left or right to the electronic unit of the window/door contact.
- The electronic unit and the magnetic contact should be mounted at the same height. Since a spacer (E) can be used for the magnetic contact to raise it, the electronic unit must be mounted on the higher part of the window.
- The ideal spacing between the housing edge of the window/door contact and the magnet contact should be 5 mm (see figure 5).
Adhesive strip or screw mounting
You can use
- the double-sided adhesive strip or
- countersunk head screws to fix the device to the window/door frame.
Do not yet assemble the magnetic contact before screw mounting.
Adhesive strip mounting
For mounting the device using the adhesive strips, please proceed as follows:
- Attach the large double-sided adhesive strip to the back side of the bracket (A) (see figure 6) and press the device to the desired position on the window.
- Place the magnet in the bracket at the back side and place the back side into the housing of the magnetic contact (see figure 7).
- When using the spacer (E), fasten the smaller adhesive strip at the back side of the spacer (see figure 6) and attach it to the desired position on the window.
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.
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.
- Do not yet assemble the magnetic contact before screw mounting.
For mounting the device using screws proceed as follows:
- Pre-drill the screw holes in the brackets (A) using an appropriate drill.
- Mark the screw holes for the electronic unit (B) according to the bracket (A) on the window (see figure 8). Mark the screw holes for the magnetic contact (D) or, if required, for the spacer (E) on the window (see figure 8).
- If you are working with hard surfaces you should pre-drill the holes marked using a 1.5 mm drill (not necessary for soft surfaces).
- Place the bracket of the electronic unit to the desired mounting location and turn the two longer countersunk screws (2.2 x 16 mm) into the screw holes (see figure 8).
- Insert the electronic unit into the bracket.
- Place the back side of the magnetic contact or the spacer to the desired mounting location and turn the two smaller countersunk screws (2.2 x 13 mm) into the screw holes (see figure 8).
- Place the magnet in the bracket at the back side and place the back side into the housing of the magnetic contact (see figure 7).
When using the spacer, you can simply attach the magnetic contact after installation to the spacer.
Replacing batteries
If an empty battery is displayed via the app or the device (see “7.4 Error codes and flashing sequences” on page 50), 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:
- Loosen the bracket (A) from the electronic unit (B) by sliding it down and removing it to the back (see figure 2).
- Insert two new 1.5 V LR03/micro/batteries into the battery compartment (F), making sure that you insert them the right way round (see figure 9).
- Pay attention to the flashing signals of the device LED while inserting the batteries (see “7.4 Error codes and flashing sequences” on page 50).
- Put the bracket back to the electronic unit.
Once the batteries have been inserted, the device will perform a self-test (approx. 2 seconds). Afterwards, initialisation is carried out. The LED test display will indicate that initialisation is complete by lighting up orange and green.
Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular domestic waste! Instead,
take them to your local battery disposal point.
Never recharge standard 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 window/door contact 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 50). In this case, replace the empty batteries by two new
batteries (see “6 Replacing batteries” on page 47).
Command not confirmed
If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (C)
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 53). 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 pair processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instanc-es during the 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 (C), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

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-SWDM-2 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU.
