ADC-S40-T Temperature Sensor
CR2450 battery
Installation guide
Double-sided tape

Installation

The Temperature Sensor is designed for indoor use only.

For optimal performance, install the sensor approximately 5 feet above the floor of an interior wall. Avoid installing the sensor on an exterior wall, in areas that are close to heating or cooling vents, and areas that are exposed to direct sunlight.

Z-Wave SmartStart Installation

Power on the Z-Wave controller.
Log in to the MobileTech app and find the customer account.
Add the device using SmartStart and follow the on-screen instructions.
Scan the device’s QR code found on the box or sensor.
Remove the battery tab from the sensor. When the LED on the sensorturns solid, the sensor has been successfully added.
Ensure you see the device on your account. This may take up to 2 minutes.
Name the device based on its application. This can be done in MobileTech, the Partner Portal, or the Customer Website.
Using the double-sided adhesive tape provided, mount the sensor on the wall.

Z-Wave Manual Installation

Power on the Z-Wave controller.
Put the Z-Wave controller into Add mode. Refer to the Z-Wave controller documentation for more information.
Remove the battery tab from the sensor. When the LED on the sensor turns solid, the sensor has been successfully added.
Ensure you see the device on your account. This may take up to 2 minutes.
Name the device based on its application. This can be done in MobileTech, the Partner Portal, or the Customer Website.
Using the double-sided adhesive tape provided, mount the sensor on the wall.

Troubleshooting

If the sensor is not communicating with the Z-Wave controller

Slide the battery door down. The LED should turn on and then turn off within a few seconds.

If the LED does not happen, the sensor cannot communicate with the Z-Wave controller. Follow these steps to fix the communication problems:

1.  **a)** Install a Z-Wave repeater between the Z-Wave controller and the sensor.

TIP: Any AC-powered Z-Wave device will act as a repeater and improve the range between the Z-Wave controller and the Z-Wave device you are installing.

2.  **b)** If the previous step does not resolve the issue, try deleting the sensor from the network (see next section) and add it again.

Deleting the sensor from the network

Put the Z-Wave controller into Delete mode. Refer to the Z-Wave controller documentation for more information.
Slide the battery door down to delete the sensor from the network. The LED on the sensor will turn solid and then blink to indicate the device has been successfully deleted.

Adding the sensor to the network

Put the Z-Wave controller into Add mode. Refer to the Z-Wave controller documentation for more information.
Slide the battery door down to add the sensor to the network. When the LED on the sensor turns solid, the sensor has been successfully added.

Resetting the device to default

NOTE: This will remove the device from the Z-Wave network.

Remove the battery door, tap the tamper switch 3 times in a row, press and hold the tamper switch for 10 seconds and then release to begin the reset to default process.
After the tamper switch is released, the LED will blink quickly and then turn solid for 3 seconds indicating that the device is resetting.
