3.2. Pairing with a Z-Wave Hub

This device requires a Z-Wave hub for smart home integration. Refer to your Z-Wave hub's instructions for adding new devices.

1. Put your Z-Wave hub into inclusion (pairing) mode.
2. On the HEIMAN Motion Sensor, quickly press the small button on the back three times. The sensor's LED indicator may flash to confirm pairing mode.
3. Once successfully paired, the hub should recognize the device.

3.3. Mounting the Sensor

The sensor can be easily installed using the provided adhesive pad or screws.

1. Choose a suitable location for installation. For optimal detection, it is recommended to mount the sensor at approximately 6 feet (1.8 meters) high.
2. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly if using the adhesive pad.
3. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive pad and firmly press the sensor onto the desired surface.
4. Alternatively, use screws to secure the mounting plate to the wall, then attach the sensor to the plate.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed and paired with your Z-Wave hub, the HEIMAN Motion Sensor will begin monitoring for movement.

4.1. Motion Detection and Notifications

• When motion is detected within the sensor's range, it will send a signal to your Z-Wave hub.
• Your Z-Wave app will then provide real-time notifications on your smartphone or other connected devices.
• The sensor's intelligent pet identification feature helps minimize false alarms from small animals.

4.2. Smart Home Automation

Integrate the motion sensor with other Z-Wave devices through your hub to create automated routines, such as:

• Turning on lights when motion is detected in a room.
• Triggering an alarm siren if unexpected motion occurs.
• Receiving alerts if children or elderly family members move into specific areas.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Battery Replacement

The sensor is equipped with a low battery alert function. When the battery level is low, your Z-Wave hub and app will notify you. Replace the battery as follows:

1. Gently open the back cover of the motion sensor.
2. Remove the old CR123A battery.
3. Insert a new CR123A battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the back cover securely.

5.2. Cleaning

Wipe the sensor's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HEIMAN Z-Wave Motion Sensor, refer to the following common solutions:

• Sensor not pairing with hub:
  • Ensure your Z-Wave hub is in inclusion mode.
  • Press the sensor's pairing button three times quickly.
  • Verify the sensor has a fresh battery.
  • Try performing a factory reset on the sensor (refer to your hub's documentation for specific Z-Wave device reset procedures, often involving pressing the button multiple times or holding it down).
• No motion detection or false alarms:
  • Check the sensor's placement. Ensure it is not obstructed and is within the recommended height and range.
  • Avoid placing the sensor near heat sources, direct sunlight, or air vents, which can cause false triggers.
  • Confirm the battery level is sufficient.
  • If experiencing false alarms from pets, ensure the pet identification feature is active if supported by your hub, or adjust sensor placement to avoid pet traffic.
• Low battery alerts:
  • Replace the CR123A battery as described in the Maintenance section.
• Poor Z-Wave range:
  • Z-Wave signals can be affected by physical obstructions. Consider adding Z-Wave repeaters or moving the hub closer to the sensor.
  • Ensure there are no large metal objects directly between the sensor and the hub.

7. Safety Information

• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the device yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
• This device is intended for indoor use only.
