MultiSensor

(Z-Wave 4-in-1 Sensor:

Motion, Temperature, Humidity, and Light Sensor)

Introduction:

The Aeotec MultiSensor is a USB or battery-powered

Z-Wave motion sensor, temperature sensor, humidity

sensor, and lighting sensor all in one package. The

sensor will send radio signals to up to 6 associated

Z-Wave devices within its own Z-Wave network when

the Motion Sensor detects IR changes in front of its

viewing window.

Indoor/Outdoor functional tolerances allow the Aeotec

MultiSensor to function under weatherized conditions.

Various sensitivity levels can be configured to avoid

unintentional triggering from small animals such as cats

and dogs.

By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network,

commands can be routed to their destination via

intermediary "listening" Z-Wave products. Products that

are Z-Wave certified can be used and communicate with

other Z-Wave certified devices.

Important Disclaimer:

This product uses radio to wirelessly communicate

data between itself and other devices. Radio

communication is inherently not always 100%

reliable, and as such, this product should not be

used in situations in which life and/or valuables are

solely dependent on its function.

· MultiSensor Power Instructions:

The Aeotec MultiSensor has built in battery level detection. It will

automatically report its battery level to the associated gateway

throughout its life until the battery is fully drained and needs

replacing. The battery status will often be displayed in the user

interface of the gateway.

When used properly in an optimized Z-Wave network, operation via

battery can function for 12 months before battery replacement.

Unlock the MultiSensor from it's battery cover by twisting the

battery cover from the main unit in a counter-clockwise motion

and pulling the battery cover outward to separate the main unit

from the battery cover.

Lock the MultiSensor main unit to its battery cover by aligning

the Lock/Unlock Half-Dimple Markers under the "unlock"

symbol and twisting the battery cover from the main unit in a

clockwise motion until the Lock/Unlock Half-Dimple Markers

form a circle under the "lock" symbol (a tangible click will be

felt).

Recommendation: For networks which do not have a method to

display the battery level of the Aeotec MultiSensor, it is

recommended that the sensor be tested occasionally to ensure

that the battery still hold enough charge to operate. Batteries

naturally lose their charge over time.

· MultiSensor Physical Installation Instructions:

There are 2 methods to physically mount the MultiSensor on the

wall or ceiling. It can be mounted flat against the wall via the

Back-Mount Plate or angled in a direction via the Back-Mount Arm.

Important: The MultiSensor is weatherized and can operate

outdoors in rain and snow. Placed outdoors where directly exposed

to rain and snow, the MultiSensor should be oriented such that the

Temperature/Humidity Sensor is facing downward and positioned

on the bottom of the unit. (See the Weatherization Orientation

section.)

Note: The Back-Mount Arm may be locked in various angles by

turning the Friction Lock clockwise and counter-clockwise to

tighten or loosen (respectively) the angle of the arm.

Recommendation: For best performance, the MultiSensor should

NOT be mounted directly on or near metal framing or other large

metallic objects. Large metal objects may weaken the radio signal

transmitted.

· Adjusting the Sensitivity on the MultiSensor

Turn the Sensitivity Knob in a clockwise direction to increase

sensitivity and counter-clockwise to decrease sensitivity.
