Installation

Please read this entire section before starting the installation.

Selecting a suitable mounting location

Select a window or door for mounting the window / door contact.
Fix one part of the window / door contact (magnet contact (D) or electronic unit (B)) to the moving part (door or window wing), the other one at the stationary part (frame) of the window or door.

Figure 5

Fasten the window / door contact on the side of the window or door where the handle is located, in the upper third of the window/door frame( for fastening details, see ( see „6.2.2 Adhesive strip or screw mounting“ on page 23)).
The magnet contact can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical way, left or right to the electronic unit of the window / door contact.

Figure 6

The electronic unit and the magnet contact should be mounted at the same height. As a spacer (E) can be used for the magnet contact to raise the magnet contact, the electronic unit must be mounted on the higher part of the window.

The ideal spacing between the housing edge of the window/door contact and the window/door casement should be 5 mm ( see figure ).

Adhesive strip or screw mounting

You can mount the window / door contact with:

the double-sided adhesive strip or
countersunk head screws to the window/door frame.

Do not yet assemble the magnet contact before screw mounting.

Adhesive strip mounting
For mounting the window / door contact with the supplied adhesive strip, please proceed as follows:

Attach the large double-sided adhesive strip to the back of the bracket (A) and press the device into the desired position on the window.

Figure 7

Place the magnet in the bracket at the back side and place the back side into the housing of the magnetic contact.

Figure 8
When using the spacer (E), fasten the smaller adhesive strip at the back side of the spacer ( see figure ) and attach it to the desired position on the window. Afterwards, place the magnet contact on to the spacer.

Attach the small double-sided adhesive strip to the back side of the magnet contact (D) ( see figure ) and press the magnet contact onto the desired position of the window.

Make sure that the mounting surface is smooth, solid, non-disturbed, free of dust, grease and solvents and not too cold to ensure long-time adherence.

Screw mounting
Using screws will damage the window and/or door. For those living in rented accommodation, this could lead to a landlord making claim for compensation or holding back a tenant’s deposit.

Do not yet assemble the magnet contact before screw mounting.
For mounting the window / door contact with the supplied screws, please proceed as follows:

Pre-drill the screw holes in the bracket (A) using an appropriate drill.
Mark the screw holes for the electronic unit (B) on the window with the aid of the bracket (A).
Mark the screw holes for the magnet contact (D) or, if required, for the spacer (E) on the window.

Figure 9

If you are working with hard surfaces you should pre-drill the holes marked using a 1.5 mm drill (not necessary for soft surfaces).
Hold the bracket of the electronic unit at the desired mounting position and screw the two longer countersunk screws (2.2 x 16 mm) through the screw holes.

Figure 10

Insert the electronic unit into the bracket.
Hold the back of the magnetic contact or the spacer at the desired mounting point and screw in the two smaller countersunk screws (2.2 x 13 mm) through the screw holes ( see figure ).
Place the magnet in the bracket at the back side and place the back side into the housing of the magnetic contact ( see figure ).

When using the spacer, you can simply attach the magnet contact after installation to the spacer.

Changing the batteries

If an empty battery is displayed in the app or on the device (see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 27), replace the used batteries with two new LR03/micro/AAA batteries.
You must observe the correct battery polarity

To replace the battery of the window / door contact, please proceed as follows:

Detach the bracket (A) from the electronic unit (B)by sliding it downwards and removing it to the rear ( see figure ).
Insert two new 1.5 V LR03/micro/ AAA batteries into the battery compartment (F), making sure that you insert them the right way round ( see figure 9 )

Figure 11

after inserting the batteries, pay attention to the flashing sequences of the LED (F)(see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 27).
Put the bracket back on the electronic unit.

Once the battery has been inserted, the window / door contact will perform a self-test (approx. 2 seconds).
Afterwards, initialisation is carried out.
The LED test display will indicate that initialisation is complete by lighting up orange and green.

Troubleshooting

Weak batteries
Provided that the voltage value permits it, the window / door contact will remain ready for operation also if the battery voltage is low. Depending on the particular load, it may be possible to send transmissions again repeatedly, once the batteries have been allowed a brief recovery period.
If the voltage drops again while sending, this will be displayed in the Homematic IP app and on the device(- see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 27). In this case, replace the empty batteries with two new ones (see „7 Changing the batteries“ on page 25)

Command not confirmed
If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The reason for the failed transmission may be radio interference, (see „11 General information about radio operation“ on page 28).

This may be caused by the following:

Receiver cannot be reached,
Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.), or
Receiver is faulty

Duty cycle
The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.
In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.
During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by three slow red flashes of the device LED, and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

The device will perform a restart.

Maintenance and cleaning

The device does not require you to carry out any maintenance other than replacing the battery when necessary. Leave any maintenance or repair to a specialist.

Clean the device using a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. You may dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm water to remove more stubborn marks. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The transmission range within buildings can differ significantly from that available in open space.
Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity play an important role, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

eQ-3 AG, Mai burger Strasse 29, 26789 Leer, Germany, hereby declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP-SWDM-2 is compliant with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.homematic-ip.com
