Motion sensor. Humidity sensor. Thermometer. Light sensor.
Ultraviolet sensor. Vibration sensor.
The corner of your room just got smarter.
Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ MultiSensor looks like a motion sensor and it
acts like one too. But it’s also so much more. Installing this 1 piece
of Z-Wave® technology is the same as installing 6 pieces of Z-Wave
technology. Your home control network will immediately understand
motion, temperature, humidity, light, Ultraviolet and Vibration
readings wherever MultiSensor installed. Those intelligent readings
will equate to intelligence automation. And intelligent automation will
give you the perfect, smart home.
Your MultiSensor comes packaged with a number of accessories
that will help with its installation and operation.

MultiSensor can bring its intelligent readings to many locations of
your home which includes outside of your home. Please note that
when installed outdoors of your home, your MultiSensor should only
be relied on for temperature, light, humidity, and ultraviolet readings,
where as the motion sensing capabilities should be disabled on
your gateway in order to avoid false readings.
Light can impact on the quality of motion readings, it’s also
important to understand environmental changes that may impact
on other readings within your home. Specically, your MultiSensor
should not be installed in areas of artificial temperature change.
Thus, when selecting a location, avoid placing it beside or near
air conditioners, humidiers, and heaters, and avoid positioning it
directly opposite a window or direct sunlight.
Selecting a location for your MultiSensor to be installed depends on
the use case. Whatever the case or the installation location, please
ensure that it ts with your sensor’s effective motion sensing range
as described in these diagrams.

For optimal performance, your MultiSensor should NOT be
mounted directly on or near metal framing or other large metallic
objects. Large metal objects may weaken the Z-Wave wireless
signal.
If selecting an outdoor location, it’s important to position your
MultiSensor in a sheltered location. It is best if your MultiSensor
is not directly exposed to rain, and is important that the humidity
venting on your MultiSensor never is.
With your MultiSensor now part of your Z-Wave network, it’s time to
nish its physical installation.
There are 2 ways that your MultiSensor can be mounted on on a
wall or ceiling. Using the Back-Mount Plate, you can mount it at
against a wall or ceiling. Using the Back-Mount Arm you can mount
it on a surface or in a corner and angle it as desired.

Resetting your MultiSensor.
If you want your MultiSensor as a non-security device in your
Z-wave network, you just need to press the Action Button once on
MultiSensor when you use a controller/gateway to add/include your
MultiSensor.
In order to take full advantage of all functionality the MultiSensor,
you may want your MultiSensor is a security device that uses
secure/encrypted message to communicate in Z-wave network, so
a security enabled controller/gateway is needed for the Multisensor
to be used as a security device.You need to press the MultiSensor’s
Action Button 2 times within 1 second when your security controller/
gateway starts the network inclusion.
At some stage or your primary controller is missing or inoperable,
you may also wish to reset all of your MultiSensor’s settings to their
factory defaults. To do this, press and hold the Z-Wave Button for
20 seconds and then release it. Your MultiSensor will now be reset
to its original settings, and the LED will stay solid for 2 seconds and
then turn off as a conrmation.

For example, if you want to report only the temperature and light
sensor you would add 32 + 64 and set the sum (96) to parameter
101, 102, or 103.
As another example, if you want to report only the light sensor and
battery, you would add 1 + 128, then set the sum (129) to parameter
101, 102, or 103.
And if you want to report all of the sensors, you would add the

Your MultiSensor has built in battery level detection. It will
automatically report its battery level to the associated controller/
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 controller/gateway.
When used properly in an optimised Z-Wave network, your
MultiSensor can be powered by batteries for 24 months before
battery replacement is necessary.
Recommendation: For networks which do not offer a method to
display the battery level of your MultiSensor, it is recommended that
the sensor be tested occasionally to ensure that the batteries still
hold enough charge to operate. Batteries naturally lose their charge
over time.
Your MultiSensor can be removed from your Z-Wave network at
any time.You’ll need to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller
to do this and the following instructions tell you how to do this using
Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ Z-Stick and Minimote controllers. If you are
using other products as your main Z-Wave controller, please refer
to the part of their respective manuals that tells you how remove
devices from your network.

Monitoring temperature, humidity, luminance and ultraviolet.
Parameter 6 [1 byte decimal] can be configured through your
gateway in case the default settings of your MultiSensor are not
what you desire.
For example, this parameter setting is initially set to 127 which is
the maximum sensitivity, if you set it to 64, the sensitivity will be the
normal sensitivity. If set it to 0, the sensitivity will be the minimum
sensitivity.
Your MultiSensor can report temperature, humidity, luminance and
ultraviolet across a Z-Wave network when requested. If this function
is supported by a controller, generally a gateway, the data will be
displayed within its interface. The specific Z-Wave commands
for the support of monitoring is the Multilevel Sensor Command
Class. Automatic reports are sent to association group 1, which
is setup via the Association Command Class. Please consult the
controller’s operation manual for specic instructions on setting your
MultiSensor.
Parameter 3 [2 byte decimal] can be configured through your
gateway in case the default settings of your MultiSensor are not
what you desire.
For example, this parameter setting is initially set to 240 which is the
delay time in 4 minutes or 240 seconds.You may set the value to
the desired Motion Sensor delay time to any amount of seconds as
you like. So if you want the time out to be 5 minutes after the Motion
Sensor is triggered, set this parameter to the value of 300.

The MultiSensor can send Basic Set Command to association
group 1, which is setup via the Association Command Class, when
the Motion Sensor detects movement to control the associated
devices to “OPEN” state. After 4 minutes by default, if the Motion
Sensor is not triggered again, the MultiSensor will send Basic Set
Command to these devices to set them to their “CLOSE” state.
However, if the Motion Sensor is triggered again within 4 minutes,
the MultiSensor will reset the timing and start timing again.
The 4 minutes delay time can be changed through the usage
of Z-Wave commands built into Z-Wave certified controllers/
gateways. (The specic Z-Wave command supporting this function
is Configuration Command Class) Please consult the operation
