INSTALLATION

1. POWER THE SENSOR

Use the triangle tool to gently open the sensor’s cover and access the battery. Pull the tab from under the battery to activate the sensor.
Don’t close the cover just yet. The LED indicator will start blinking for around 10 seconds once the sensor is powered.

The LED indicator doesn’t blink or light up at all?

• Make sure the battery is inserted correctly per the positive/negative pole marks.
• Try a fresh lithium nonrechargeable battery.
• Click the Z-Wave button 3 times as quickly as possible to force inclusion/exclusion mode in case you missed when it first flashed.

Z-WAVE CONTROL

1. ADD DEVICE to your hub
   Initiate inclusion (pairing) in the app (or web interface). Not sure how? ask@getzooz.com
   If you’re using an S2 hub, it will ask you to enter the DSK PIN or scan the QR code printed on the inside of the sensor’s battery cover to complete SmartStart inclusion.

2. ACTIVATE the sensor
   While the hub is looking for new devices, click the Z-Wave button 3 times as quickly as possible.
   The LED indicator will start flashing to confirm inclusion mode and turn off once inclusion is completed.
   

TIP!
It’s best to add your sensor from the area where it will be installed so the hub can find the best route to reach it right away.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The sensor won’t add to your system? Try this:

1. Initiate EXCLUSION in your hub and click the Z-Wave button 3 times as quickly as possible.
2. Click the Z-Wave button quicker when adding it.
3. Bring the sensor closer to your hub, it may be out of range.
4. Double-check if the device is powered.
5. Get troubleshooting tips specific to your hub at www.support.getzooz.com

EXCLUSION (REMOVE DEVICE)

1. Bring the sensor within direct range of your Z-Wave hub.
2. Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? ask@getzooz.com).
3. Click the Z-Wave button 3 times as quickly as possible.
4. Your hub will confirm exclusion and the sensor will disappear from your controller’s device list.

FACTORY RESET

When your network’s primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable, you may need to reset the device to factory settings manually. In order to complete the process, make sure the sensor is powered, then click the Z-Wave button twice and hold it the third time for 10 seconds. The LED indicator will blink continuously. Immediately aer, click the ZWave button twice more to finalize the reset. The LED indicator will flash 3 times to confirm a successful reset. NOTE: All previously recorded activity and custom settings will be erased from the device’s memory.

WAKE-UP MODE

The sensor’s wake-up interval is set to 12 hours by default to save battery life. Use the Wake Up Command Class to adjust the interval. Click the Z-Wave button 4 times quickly to wake the sensor up manually. The LED indicator will flash twice to confirm that the device is awake. During wake-up, the sensor turns the Z-Wave radio on for one minute to receive communication from the hub. Long wake-up interval will not affect how oen the sensor reports to your hub so we recommend leaving the default setting to conserve battery.

ASSOCIATION

The XS Sensor supports Group 1 for Lifeline communication and Groups 2-5 with up to 5 devices per group for basic on/off control. Use Group 2 for high- temperature alerts; Group 3 for low-temperature alerts; Group 4  for high humidity alerts; and Group 5 for low humidity alerts. See parameters 5-8 to set the thresholds. Please note that not all Z-Wave systems give users access to direct association settings so if you’re not sure where to find it, please get in touch with our support and we’ll be happy to help.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

Parameter 2: Decide when the sensor should report a low battery to the hub.
Values: 10-50 (% battery life).
Default: 5
Size: 1-byte dec
Parameter 3: Set the temperature reporting threshold. The sensor will send a new temperature report if the difference compared to the last reading exceeds the value set here.
Values: 10 – 100 (degrees where 10 equals 1 degree); Default: 20. Size: 1-byte dec

Parameter 4: Set the humidity reporting threshold. The sensor will report a new humidity value if the difference compared to the last reading exceeds the value set here. Values: 1 – 50 (%); Default: 10. Size: 1-byte dec
Parameter 16: Set the temperature reporting interval. The sensor will report temperature at least that one. Values: 0 – disable this setting; 1 – 480 (minutes); Default: 240. Size: 2-byte dec
Parameter 17: Set the humidity reporting interval. The sensor will report humidity at least that one. Values: 0 – disable this setting; 1 – 480 (minutes); Default: 240. Size: 2-byte dec

Click the Z-Wave button 4 times quickly to wake the sensor up are updating the settings.

MOUNTING

INDOOR MOUNTING

1. We recommend including your sensor to the Z-Wave network from the location you want to install it before you actually mount it.
2. Place the sensor on a dry and clean surface in the space you’d like to monitor temperature and humidity. Use the supplied adhesive tape to fix the sensor to the surface, with the battery slot and sensor perforation pointing down.
3. Test the sensor overnight to make sure it’s reporting both temperature and humidity according to the settings. It may take up to 48 hours to adjust to the environment so give it a couple of days before evaluating the reports.

OUTDOOR MOUNTING

1. Install the product outdoors under eve with the snap-on mounting bracket (sold separately) for best results.
2. Add the sensor to Z-Wave from the area where it will be installed before mounting it.
3. Use the supplied screws to fix the mounting bracket to a dry clean surface around the spot you’d like to monitor.
4. Insert the sensor into the bracket, it should snap right on. Remember to position the device so that the sensor perforation is pointing down.

BATTERY POWER TIP!
This sensor runs on a coin battery with a smaller capacity than the lithium CR batteries used in other sensors so you may see the battery readings fluctuate from low to higher readings when the sensor is awake during programming and testing. The battery will usually go back to its stable reading within a few hours so always allow a day or two aer you see the first lower reading before checking on the actual battery life leor your device.

QUESTIONS? ask@getzooz.com
