Installation Instructions

  1. Identify location for Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor. It is very important that the Tilt sensor be located on the top section of a multi-panel garage door. This will be the first section to tilt when the door is opened and the last to move to the vertical position when closing.

  2. Mount the Tilt sensor mounting bracket a clean dry surface with the sensor screw facing the floor. The bracket can be mounted by the screws of adhesive tape.
    Caution: Use of the screws is only recommended for garage doors that are thicker than the screws are long. Use the adhesive tape for any garage door that is thinner than the length of the provided screws.

  3. Adhesive Tape Mounting: Make sure that the desired mounting location on the door is clean and dry. The adhesive tape can withstand the temperature and humidity conditions of a typical garage. However, it is recommended that the sensor be mounted when air or surface temperatures are not extreme. Installing the adhesive tape when the conditions are right promotes a good long-lasting adhesive bond between the bracket and the surface of the door. Peel back the outer layer of one side of the adhesive tape, stick the tape to the garage door and press firmly. Peel back the outer layer on the other side of the tape and press the mounting bracket firmly onto the adhesive tape.

  4. Screws Mounting: Place the mounting bracket in the desired position on the garage door. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the location of the screw holes with a pencil. Drill a small hole through each of the marked locations. Use a screwdriver to fasten the mounting bracket to the door.

  5. Install 1x CR123A batteries provided in the package.

  6. Before the sensor is secured to the mounting bracket. Follow the inclusion instructions to verify successful communication with the Z-Wave Controller.Follow the Network Inclusion steps in next section.

  7. After network inclusion, secure the sensor onto the mounting bracket with the sensor screw.

  8. Test the connection by opening and closing your garage and observing the open and close statuses.

Network Inclusion

The Z-Wave Plus Garage Tilt Sensor must be added to a Z-Wave Plus network prior to use. To include the device in a network both the device and the network controller must be in inclusion mode at the same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your specific controller for details on initiating the controller’s inclusion mode.

  1. Verify that the Z-Wave Plus controller you are using is compatible with the Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor.
  2. Put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode.
  3. Insert the battery and press the learn button on the tilt sensor.
  4. The LED on the front of the unit will turn off if network inclusion is successful.

Network Exclusion

  1. Any Z-Wave Plus Device can be removed from any Z-Wave Plus controller. Follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into exclusion mode.
  2. Press the inclusion / exclusion button on the Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor.
  3. The LED in front of the unit will blink steadily if the network exclusion is successful.
    *Please refer to the LED status section for more information on the LED behavior

Notes:

  • Controller inclusion mode must be activated BEFORE starting sensor inclusion or exclusion mode.
  • The device can only be included into one controller network at a time, and must be excluded from one network before inclusion in another.

LED Status
The Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor is equipped with a red LED.
The state of the LED will change based on the state of the device.

  • LED Blinking – Device in learn mode
  • LED On – Device OTA (over the air) Update
  • LED blink – Tilt Detected/Restore, Tamper Detected/Restore

Battery State
The Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor will alert the user when the batteries become low. The Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor will continue reporting the state of the sensor until the batteries are completely depleted.

Factory Default
Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable. The Z Wave Plus Tilt Sensor can be factory defaulted by pressing and holding the factory reset button for 5 seconds.

Z-Wave Plus Specific Information
Z-Wave Plus is a wireless mesh network and data protocol that allows devices from many different manufacturers to interoperate. This device implements Z-Wave Plus functionality, Network Wide Inclusion. The following information is intended for software engineers working on Z-Wave Plus controllers and home automation enthusiasts to integrate the Z-Wave Plus device into their system. This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

Z-Wave Plus Command Class Basic
For backwards compatibility with older Z-Wave Plus Controllers, the Basic Command Class is supported in the following manner. A Basic Report of 0xFF is Garage Open. A basic report of 0x00 is garage closed.

  • Manufacturer ID 0x01 4A
  • Product Type 0x00 05
  • Product ID 0x04 AA

Network Wide Inclusion
This device also supports Network Wide Inclusion such that the device can be included into the Z-Wave network over the mesh network and not directly near the main controller. This mode is automatically activated after regular inclusion was not successful.

Command Class Association
This Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor has two Association groups of 1 nodes. Group one – Group one is the lifeline group. The garage door tilt sensor will send Basic Reports with a value of 0x00 if the door is closed and 0xFF if the door is opened to all nodes in group 1.
