ZigBoat porthole/Door Sensor ZB205 Owner’s Manual

ZigBoat porthole/Door Sensor ZB205

Product description
The ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor detects and reports opening and closing of doors and portholes. Easily installed on any door or portholes, the sensor triggers a signal when parted. This lets you know when a room is entered, if a porthole or a door has been left open, etc.

Precautions

• When removing cover for battery change, electrostatic discharge can harm electronic components inside.
• Always mount indoors.
• Do not place the sensor close to magnetic or electromagnetic fields. This device includes a magnet. The magnet creates a magnetic field that may cause damage to computer hard drives, magnetic cards, data storage devices, hearing aids and speakers e.g. Therefore, we strongly advise you to never position the magnet close to electronic devices.

Adding the sensor to the Gateway
NOTE: Make sure Gateway is turned on and configurated, for more details see the

Gateway owner’s manual.

1. Open the ZigBoat™ App, select the Gateway in the ZB Gateways menu, wait a few seconds, then select the menu button on the top right (fig. 1). Select “Device list” (fig.2) Add the sensor by entering the serial number which is on the sensor’s label (fig.3). To locate the serial number of the sensor, remove the front cover by pressing the tab on top.
2. You can change the devices name by selecting “Name” (fig. 4). Then, press the “Add Device” button.
3. Insert the enclosed batteries (2xAAA) into the device, respecting the polarities.
4. Close the casing.
5. The ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor will now start searching for the ZigBoat™ network to join.
6. While the ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor is searching for the ZigBoat™ network to join, the red LED is flashing.
7. When the red LED stops flashing, the ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor has successfully joined the ZigBoat™ network.

To check the correct configuration, select the overview tab of the ZigBoat™ App. (fig. 5)

Green dot: The sensor is working properly
Red dot: The sensor is not able to reach the
Gateway:

• Please check the battery status;
• Please check you have insert the correct serial number
• In case of a weak or a bad signal, change the location of the ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor
  “CLOSED”: The door or porthole is closed
  “OPEN”: The door or porthole is open

Placement

• Place the sensor indoors at a temperature between 0-50°C.
• The magnet has to be placed on that side of the sensor which is marked with a small triangle.
• The magnet and sensor also have to be aligned/centered thickness-wise on as similar level as possible.
• In case of a weak or a bad signal, change the location of the ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor.

Mounting

• Clean the surface before mounting.
• The ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor (a) should be mounted to the frame using the double stick tape, already applied on the back of the sensor and magnet. Press firmly to secure sensor.
• The magnet (b) should be mounted on the door or porthole no further than 5mm away from the arrow on the sensor.
• There are many ways to mount the sensor and magnet, as portholes and doors vary greatly. The most important consideration is for the magnet to be placed as near to the point on the sensor indicated by the grey arrow.
• The sensor and magnet may be placed on separate three dimensional planes, though
  this does affect the maximum distance allowed. The magnet may also be placed either facing the side of the sensor or sitting parallel to it.

Testing

You can test if the positioning of the sensor and magnet are correct by checking whether the green light on the ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor is flashing when you open or close the porthole/door.

Resetting
Resetting is needed if you want to connect your ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor to another gateway or if you need to perform a factory reset to eliminate abnormal behavior. The reset button is marked with the small ring on the front of the sensor.

STEPS FOR RESETTING

1. Open the casing of the device by pushing the fastening on top of the device to remove the front panel from the back cover.
2. Remove the batteries and reinsert the batteries
3. Press and hold down the reset button for approximately 8-10 seconds. The button has to be pushed within one minute after inserting the batteries.
4. When the red light starts flashing every second, the reset process has been successfully implemented.

Modes

ACTIVATION MODE
A single green flash means that the sensor and the magnet are moving either away from or towards each other.

SEARCHING GATEWAY MODE
Red flashes every second for a longer period, means that the device is searching for a gateway.
LOST CONNECTION MODE
When the red LED flashes 3 times, it means that the device has failed to connect to a gateway.
LOW-BATTERY MODE
Two consecutive red LED flashes every 60seconds, means that the battery should be replaced.

Fault finding

• If the ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor does not work when the porthole or door is parted, the probable cause is a faultybattery. Replace the batteries if they are worn out.
• If the search for the ZigBoat™ Gateway has timed out, a short press on the button will restart it.

Battery replacement

CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERIES ARE REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF THE BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: When removing cover for battery change – Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can harm electronic components inside

1. Open the casing of the device by pushing the fastening on top of the device to remove the front panel from the back cover.
2. Replace the batteries respecting the polarities. The ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor uses 2xAAA batteries.
3. Close the casing.
4. Test the ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensor.

Other information

Note local regulations about information to your insurance company regarding installed ZigBoat™ Porthole/Door Sensors.

Disposal

Dispose the product and battery properly at the end of life. This is electronic waste which should be recycled.

Placement Examples – Top View

• The most beneficial distance between the sensor and the magnet is 0.2-0.5 cm.
• Be aware that on magnetic surface (e.g. metal door), the distance between the sensor and the magnet has to be 0.1-0.3 cm.

Placement Examples – Doors

• Be sure to mount the sensor on the frame, to protect the electronics from heavy vibrations.
• The sensor and magnet should be mounted on the side opposite from the hinge/pivot point.
• Pay careful attention to the arrow printed on the sensor. This should be oriented to facethe magnet. The distance between the two should not exceed 5mm.

Placement Example – Portholes

• Be sure to mount the sensor on the frame, to protect the electronics from heavy vibrations.
• The sensor and magnet should be mounted on the side opposite from the hinge/pivot point.
• Alternatively, if the porthole slides open, the sensor and magnet may be mounted in many positions, however the sensor should always be placed on the frame.
• Pay careful attention to the arrow printed on the sensor. This should be oriented to face the magnet. The distance between the two should not exceed 5mm.
