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

❶
Slide the device open. The LED
should turn on and then turn off
within a few seconds.
If the LED behavior is different,

the sensor cannot communicate

with the Z-Wave controller.

Follow these steps to fix the
communication problems:
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.
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

❶
Put the Z-Wave controller into
Delete mode. Refer to the Z-Wave
controller documentation for

more information.

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.

has been successfully deleted.


Adding the sensor to the network

❶
Put the Z-Wave controller into
Add mode. Refer to the Z-Wave
controller documentation for more
information.
❷


Slide the device open 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.

❶
Remove the battery door, tap

the tamper switch 3 times in a row,
press and hold the tamper switch
for 10 seconds until the LED starts
