Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Product Description
The Fibaro Door / Window Sensor is a battery powered, Z-Wave compatible reed sensor. It combines the functionality of 3 devices (reed, binary and temperature sensor) in one easy to use product. The sensor can be used for monitoring whether a door, window, window blind or a garage gate is open or closed. In addition, you can integrate any binary output sensor with the Z-Wave network using this sensor, e.g. motion sensors, flood sensors, alarm system sensors, etc.
The product consists of two elements. One of the parts is mounted on the moving part of the window or of the door. The other part is placed on the frame. The device needs to be included into a Z-Wave network by a remote control or any other Z-Wave controller. If an action is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the Z-Wave network main controller.
Prepare for Installation / Reset
Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.
Safety Warning for Batteries
The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used. Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.
Installation
The sensor consists of two parts: The sensor main device plus a little magent that is triggering the sensor when closed to the main device. One part of the sensor is mounted on the fixed part of the door or window while the other part is mounted on the moving part in a way, that both devices are adjacent to each other with no more than 5 mm distance between them. The main device can be mounted with double sided tape however for security applications it is strongly recommended to use screws. The holes to screw the device are placed behind the battery. Hence the battery need to be removed for this procedure. The image shows the two buttons "TMP" and "B", the reed sensor and the contact terminal for external switches and sensors.
The external temperature sensor DS18B20 is connected to the device as shown in this picture. In case the sensor shall only act as temperature sensor it can be placed everywhere and there is no need to place the magnet nearby. Beside to act as temperature sensor the device can also work as simple digial sensor transmitting the status of an externally connected on/off switch. The subsequent image shows how to connect such an external switch to the pins "IN" and "GND".
Inclusion/Exclusion
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.
Inclusion
For Inclusion and Exclusion push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted. Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.
Exclusion
For Inclusion and Exclusion push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted. Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.
Product Usage
The sensor reports status changes and - if a external temperature sensor is attached - the temperature using wireless Z-Wave commands. There is no further local interaction needed or possible.
Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action:
For sending out a node information frame push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted.Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.
Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action:
To wake up the device push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted. Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
Association - one device controls an other device
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.
Association Groups:
| Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | Devices controlled by open/close events |

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms
- Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network. Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.
