may damage the product.
Contains small parts; keep away from children.
Quick Start.
Determine the power type.
MultiSensor 7 can be a sleeping battery device or a repeater as a USB powered device. Make sure you select your
preferred power type before you start pairing.
Any time you change the input power type (ie. Battery to USB power), you must re-include as your Z-Wave hub will
only understand if it is a sleeping device or a Repeater device upon its first pair into your controller.
For a USB powered installation (acts as a repeater upon initial pair):
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the Unlock button LEFT, then pull the cover off.
2. Insert the microUSB of the provided USB cable into your sensor's microUSB port.
3. Insert the larger end of the USB cable into a computer or any 5V adapter which will immediately power your
MultiSensor 7.
4. Make sure to seat the Battery Cover back onto the MultiSensor 7 and lock it in by sliding the Unlock button
RIGHT.
For a battery powered installation (acts as a sleeping device upon initial pair):

2. Insert two CR123A lithium batteries orientated according to the diagram within your sensor.
Try inserting the batteries flat rather than at an angle.
Note:MultiSensor 7 can be powered by a single CR123A (doesn't matter which port), though batteries will
require changing more frequently (half the expected battery life).
WARNING: Not compatible to rechargeable CR123A batteries (3.6V).
3. Make sure to seat the Battery Cover back onto the MultiSensor 7 and lock it in by sliding the Unlock button
RIGHT.
Adding your MultiSensor 7 into a Z-Wave Network.
With it powered on, it's now time to add your MultiSensor 7 to a Z-Wave network. To pair MultiSensor 7, you are not
limited to only the Z-Stick or Minimote. You may use any Z-Wave Gateway to pair MultiSensor 7, but compatibility
and how the sensor shows ultimately depends on the gateway and software integration of products.
Using an existing gateway:
You may need to refer to your gateway's method of including devices if you do not know how to pair a Z-Wave
device.
1. Set your Z-Wave gateway into Z-Wave pair

Advanced Functions.
Z-Wave Resetting MultiSensor 7.
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. 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.
Using an existing gateway:
You may need to refer to your gateway's method of including devices if you do not know how to pair a Z-Wave
device. You may use any gateway to perform an unpair/removal on MultiSensor 7 even if they are not paired
together to factory reset MultiSensor 7.

Manual Hard Resetting MultiSensor 7.
This method is not fully advised unless your gateway has failed, if paired to your network, performing these steps will
factory reset your MultiSensor 7, but may leave a hard to remove phantom/ghost device in your working Z-Wave
network.
1. Make sure the device has been powered.
2. Press and hold the button for 20 seconds. When the red led flash, the device will enter factory reset mode.

ge
color (2 - 5 seconds)
3. Release Multisensor 7 Action Button, the LED should remain solidorangewhile it is awake. Send any
configurations from your hub (assuming the commands are not queued).
If the MultiSensor 7 LEDorangeLED turns off right away, this would indicate that your hub is putting
your device to sleep. Try unpowering your hub temporarily, follow steps 1-3 again, then power up your
hub again.
4. Tap the Action Button on Multisensor 7 to put Multisensor 7 back to sleep, or wait 5 minutes. (recommended
to manually put it back to sleep to conserve battery life).
