Sensor identification
The inner packaging label indicates the installation type:- P = Door (Puerta)
- V = Window (Ventana)
Window sensor
Placement
- Place the sensor on the window’s fixed frame.
- Place the magnet on the moving sash.
- The sensor’s triangle must face the magnet.
- Distance between sensor and magnet: between 2 and 5 mm. On magnetic surfaces, keep a distance of 1 to 3 mm. Never exceed 5 mm.
Door sensor
Placement
- Place the sensor on the door’s fixed frame.
- Place the magnet on the moving leaf.
- The sensor’s triangle must face the magnet.
- Distance between sensor and magnet: between 2 and 5 mm. On magnetic surfaces, keep a distance of 1 to 3 mm. Never exceed 5 mm.
Mounting
1
Apply adhesive
Apply Sikaflex-118 Extreme Grab over the 3M adhesive base of the sensor and the magnet.
2
Press
Press the sensor and magnet firmly for 10 seconds against the installation surface.
3
Alternative with screws
If the surface does not accept adhesive or requires greater resistance, use screws to fix the bases.
Power supply
The sensor runs on 2 included AAA batteries. Open the compartment and verify polarity before closing it.Common mistakes
Reversing sensor and magnet
Reversing sensor and magnet
If you place the magnet on the fixed frame and the sensor on the moving leaf, the device may not work correctly.
Not respecting the 5 mm limit
Not respecting the 5 mm limit
A distance greater than 5 mm between sensor and magnet prevents detection of the closed state.
Sensor on the moving leaf
Sensor on the moving leaf
The sensor must always go on the fixed part. Placing it on the moving leaf exposes the wiring to breakage from movement.
Not aligning the triangle
Not aligning the triangle
The sensor’s triangle must face the magnet. If they are not aligned, the magnetic contact will be erratic.
Not applying Sikaflex
Not applying Sikaflex
Without Sikaflex-118 Extreme Grab, the 3M adhesive may not withstand continuous use on irregular surfaces.
Installing too close to the locking mechanism (door)
Installing too close to the locking mechanism (door)
Keep the sensor away from the latch and hinges to avoid mechanical and magnetic interference.
Verification
The sensor’s green LED blinks when opening or closing the door or window. If it does not react:- Check that the batteries are properly placed and charged.
- Check that the distance between sensor and magnet is correct.
- Verify Zigbee network coverage in the area.
- Sync the sensor on app.voltic.es if it does not appear on the platform.
