BasicOperations
‐TheMoLiTecandetectmovement,
‐TheMoLiTecanmeasurelightintensity
‐TheMoLiTecanmeasurethetemperature.
‐TheMoLiTecantriggerasecuritysystem.
Howitoperates
AfterasuccessfulinclusiontheMoLiTecanbemountedonthewalldirectlyorwithabracket.
Whenmovementisdetectedtheindicatorlightwillblinkshortly,thisindicatesthataz‐wavemessagehas
beensendsuccessfully.
Withacontrolleryoucanrequestthetemperatureandbatterylevel.
Mounting
1. Beforemount,theMoLiTeSensorshouldbeincludedintoaZ‐Wavenetworkandassociated.
2. Useaflatscrewdriverattheinletsonthesidestogentlyunlockthebackcover.
3. Usethesuppliedscrewstomountthecoverorbrackettothewall.
Foroptimaluse,mounttheMoLiTebetween1,5mand2,5maboveground
(ArotatingbracketisavailabletoadjustthedirectiontheMoLiTeispointingto).
4. PlacetwoAA1,5Vbatteriesintothedevice.
5. MounttheMoLiTeontothebackcoverandbesuretocloseitonallsides.
6. Mountingiscompletedwhentheledblinksforafull1sec.
7. TheMoLiTesensorhastostartupforca10seconds.
8. Afterca10secondstheMoLiTeisreadyfordetection.
IncludeorexcludeinZ‐Wavenetwork1
1. WhentheMoLiTeismounted,removeitfromthebackcover.
2. PressandholdtheTamperswitchfor2secondsandreleasetostarttheinclusionorexcludeprocess.
3. Whenclassicinclusionfailed,theproductwillstartNetworkWideInclusionautomatically.

Detailedinstruction
WeadvisetheMoLiTetobemountedbetween1,5mand2,5mfromtheground,flaton
thewallandnotfacingdown.Withanoptionalbracket,thedirectiontheMoLiTeis
pointsatcanbechanged(up/downandleft/right).TheMoLiTedetectsmovementupto
10meters.Withoutbracketattached,itisrecommendedtoplacetoMoLiTeinthe
middleofthewall(see‘Goodsensorpositioning’).

FrequentlyAskedQuestions

Q:Ican’thavemyMoLiTeincludedintomyZ‐Wavenetwork,whatamIdoingwrong?
A:1.IsthecontrollerreadytoincludeanydeviceintotheZ‐Wavenetwork?Ifthecontrollerisnotin
Includeorexcludemode,theMoLiTecannotbeincludedorexcluded.
2.TheMoLiTeisalreadyincludedinaZ‐Wavenetwork.ExcludetheMoLiTeand
Trytoincludeitagain.

Q:Whydoesn’ttheMoLiTedetectanymovement?
A:1.TheMoLiTeisn’tincludedinaZ‐Wavenetwork.Includeitandtryitagain.
2.Thebatteriesarealmostempty,tryputtingnewonesin.

Q:ThetemperaturereportoftheMoLiTeisincorrect.
A:1.TheMoLiTeisplaceddirectlyinthesun,whichmakesthetemperatureinthehousingoftheMoLiTe
hotterthanelsewhereintheroom.
2.Thecalibrationisnotthesameasyourothertemperaturesensor,itispossibletodoare‐calibration
ofthetemperaturesensorwith2myhomeandthemyGate.

Q:IhaveconfiguredavaluebutwhenIrequestit,itisnotchanged?
A:Itismandatorythatthecorrectsizeisusedwhileconfigureaparameter;gotothedocumentationabout
theconfigurationcommandclasstocheckiftherightsizeisusedduringconfiguration.Ifthewrongsizeisused
theframeisignoredtotally.

Q:IhaveconfiguredanewvalueandwhenIrequestitthecorrectvalueisreturnedbutthebehaviorisstillthe
same?
A:Someconfigurationparametershavelimitsofwhattheycando,gotothedocumentationabout
configurationtocheckifthevalueoftheconfiguredparameterisoutofflimit.

Q:WhenImounttheMoLiTeitperformsitsstandardmountingroutinebutafter4secondstheindicatorlight
doesn’tgoonfor1secondbutblinks6times.
A:blinking6timescanmean:
1. MoLiTeisnotincluded
2. MoLiTeisnotassociated
3. MoLiTecan’treachedhisdestination
Ifallthreeoptionsarecorrected,MoLiTeiswilloperatecorrectlyandcanbemountedagain.

Q:WhenIexcludetheMoLiTetheconfigurationtimes(idleandswitchoff)areresetbacktodefault.
A:ThatiscorrectwhentheMoLiTeisexcludedallconfigurationsincludingwakeuptimingsareresetbackto
default.Youwillneedtoconfigurethedeviceagainafterincludedintothecontroller.
Byforcingthetamperswitchawakeupmessage(broadcast)willbesendtoeasilychangetheconfiguration.
