Important Safety Information
Please read this and other device guides carefully. Failure to follow the
recommendations set forth by Aeotec Limited may be dangerous or cause a
violation of the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor, and/or reseller
will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not
following any instructions in this guide or in other materials.
Keep the product and batteries away from open flames and extreme heat. Avoid
direct sunlight or heat exposure. Always remove all batteries from products
that are being stored and not used. Batteries may damage the appliance if they
leak. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Ensure correct polarity when
inserting the batteries. Improper battery use may damage the product.
Door / Window Sensor 7 is intended for indoor use in dry locations only. Do
not use in damp, moist, and/or wet locations. It contains small parts; keep
away from children.
Quick Start
Pre-Installation of Door / Window Sensor 7 Pro
- Open the cover by pressing the clip on the side and pulling the cover upwards.
- Insert a fresh 1 * 1/2 AA battery, but pay attention to the polarity.
Install your Door / Window Sensor 7
The sensor can be mounted either on the moving part or on the fixed part of a door or a window. Mounting can be accomplished either using the tape by peeling off the protection foil or using two screws with the holes inside the battery compartment. If the tilt detection on a window (only normal windows, no roof windows) shall be used the sensor device must be placed on the moving part of the window and the magnet on the window frame. The sensor comes with two types of magnets:
- The standard magnet covered by plastic part, mountable beside the sensor. Make sure the two indicating lines on sensor enclosure and magnet are opposite to each other. The image on the right-hand-side shows the position of magnet and sensor body.
- A slim “naked” magnet to be mounted behind the sensor in case the sensor body is placed on the side of a window.
For German-style windows where the window sits on top of the window frame mounting on the side of the window is highly recommended. The sensor can be placed on any position of the door or the window.
Installation of the flat magnet
When installing the flat magnet in a hidden location, make sure that it is on the longer side as seen from the mark on the Door / Windows Sensor 7 Pro.
Adding your Door / Windows Sensor 7 Pro to Z-Wave network
SmartStart Inclusion.
You can use this method of inclusion only if your Z-Wave
gateway/controller/hub supports SmartStart.
- Open up your Z-Wave gateway/controller/app.
- Select SmartStart inclusion.
- Scan the QR code located on the Door/Window Sensor 7.
- Within 10 minutes after powering your Door/Window Sensor 7, it will automatically get included in your Z-Wave gateway/controller/hub.
Classic Inclusion
- Set your Z-Wave controller into pairing mode.
- Triple-click the tamper switch on Door / Window Sensor 7 – this begins to blink green/red.
- After completion of the inclusion, Close the cover.
Note: Closing the cover is important! If the housing is not closed, the sensor is permanently awake. Only when the cover is closed does the sensor change to the idle state.
Functions of Door / Window Sensor 7
Magnetic or Dry Contact Sensor
Once installed, the sensor will report open or close via the Notification
command class to indicate a change in state to the Z-Wave controller that it
is paired to. By default the magnetic sensor is used instead of the Dry
Contact Sensor. If the unit was changed to a dry contact sensor, the internal
magnetic sensor will stop performing reports.
- Open/Close utilizes Notification Report.
Tamper
Tamper utilizes Notification Report.
Tilt detection
The tilt detection allows reporting the way a window is opened. This is
accomplished using the command class “binary sensor – tilt-type”. In case the
window is closed or opened without tilting the tilt sensor will report “Off”.
In case the window is tilted an “On” is reported. The angle of inclination of
the window must be at least 5°.
- Tilt Sensor uses Binary Sensor Report.
- Tilt Sensor reports Open when the window is opened, moving, and tilted at the same time.
- Binary Sensor Report = 0xFF
- When Window is closed, both Tilt Sensor and Window access will report CLOSED.
- Binary Sensor Report = 0x00
Advances functions
Screw Terminal
With parameter #1 you can choose between the internal magnet or the external
connections such as push buttons or dry contact sensors
- Ground
- Digital Input
- VCC (direct battery supply)
VCC + Ground terminals can be used to externally power the sensor.
Digital + VCC is used to connect the external dry contact.
Dry contact sensor.
Door / Window Sensor 7 can be converted to any type of sensor utilizing NO
(Normally Open) dry contact sensors. This can be used to detect water, magnet
positions, tilt, doorbells, etc.
You can wire any dry contact sensor output to Terminal #2 and #3 (it doesn’t matter which terminal is wired to where). Dry contact terminals are only looking for Open/Close control which will have Door / Window Sensor 7 report its status depending on the state of the dry contact output to Door / Window Sensor 7.
Refer to section “Parameter Configurations”
Parameter 1 will determine what mode the Door / Window Sensor 7 is used as.
Communication test
This utilizes the Power Level command class to determine the health between
the Door / Window Sensor 7 and your Z- Wave gateway. This will tell you if the
Door / Window Sensor 7 has a healthy connection to your system and is a great
method of debugging connectivity issues.
- Set Parameter #5 to value #1
- Double click the Tamper Switch.
- Result:
- Blinks once – success
- Blinks 3x times – failure
Scene Controller
When activated by configuration parameter #14 the device can perform as a
scene controller. The external dry contact will then act as a scene controller
with a total of 7 scenes that can be activated:
- Contact Pressed 1 time
- Contact Pressed 2 time
- Contact Pressed 3 time
- Contact Pressed 4 time
- Contact Pressed 5 time
- Contact held down
- Contact released
Firmware-Update over the Air.
This device is capable of receiving a new firmware ‘over the air’. The update
function needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller
starts the update process, perform the following action to confirm the
firmware update:
- Wake Up the device by removing the cover.
- The hit the tamper switch once.
Send a wake-up notification
In order to send your sensors new configuration commands from your Z-Wave
controller or gateway, it will need to be woken up.
- Wake Up the device by removing the cover.
- The hit the tamper switch once, led blinks short green.
Note: Door / Window Sensor 7 Pro remains awake until the housing is closed again.
Remove your Door / Window Sensor 7 Pro from Z-Wave network
Your sensor can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll need
to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller/gateway. To do this, please refer
to the part of your gateway’s respective manual that tells you how to remove
devices from your network.
1. Set your Z-Wave controller into unpair mode.
2. Triple-click the tamper switch on Door / Window Sensor 7 within 1.5
seconds.
3. After a successful exclusion, it will green light up its LED for 2 seconds
then deactivate.
Reset your Door / Windows Sensor 7 Pro.
This device also allows being reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave
controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is
inoperable.
To manually factory reset:
- Remove the cover of Door / Window Sensor 7
- Press and hold tamper switch for 5 seconds until the red LED blinks.
- Release the tamper switch
- Immediately press and hold the tamper switch again, a green LED will confirm reset
Association Groups
Association groups allow Door Window Sensor 7 to directly control Z-Wave
devices without the use of a Z-Wave Controller to maximize communication
efficiency.
By default, Group 1 is assigned to Node Id 01 during the pairing process of
your Door / Window Sensor 7 to determine where it should report its sensor
reports to.
Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
