Add Strips Guard 700/800 to your Z-Wave™ Controller

Guard 700/800-series is a SmartStart enabled product and can be added to a Z-Wave™ network by using SmartStart. Start by scanning the Z-Wave™ QR Code present on the back label of the Strips, or on the DSK leaflet present in the box. Strips can be added to both secure and non-secure controllers and with or without SmartStart.

*US and Canada users can also add Strips as Long Range secure with SmartStart. Your device supports Long Range only if it has the following logo on the product box and Strips

Add Strips Guard 700/800 using SmartStart pairing

You can use this method of inclusion only if your Z-Wave™ Controller supports SmartStart.

  1. Open your Z-Wave™ Controller’s app and select SmartStart pairing.
  2. Scan the QR Code (You can find the QR Code on the back of Strips or in the package).
  3. Remove the magnets from Strips (If you have previously removed the magnets from Strips, or need to re-add the device, performing a manual wake up will join the device when the controller is in pairing mode).

qr-backside

SmartStart will automatically begin 30 seconds after removing the magnets and Strips will be added within 10 minutes when it has been activated within the Z-Wave™ Controller range.

One long LED blink means Strips has been successfully added to your Z-Wave™ network.

Note:

  • Once the device is in SmartStart mode and not paired, it will attempt pairing with SmartStart for the first 15 mins, and thereafter every 3.5 hrs for a period of a month.
  • If SmartStart fails pairing the first time, Strips will restart SmartStart. If it fails again, the device will reset.
  • If none of the above is successful, you need to perform a manual wake-up to start SmartStart.
  • In order to cancel SmartStart mode, the user can perform a Factory Default Reset

Add Strips Guard 700/800 using classic inclusion (Non SmartStart Controllers)

  1. Open your Z-Wave™ Controller application and start pairing mode.
  2. Remove the magnets from Strips (If you have previously removed the magnets from Strips, or need to re-add the device, performing a manual wake up will join the device when the controller is in pairing mode).
  3. One long LED blink means Strips has been successfully added to your Z-Wave™ network.

To perform a manual wake up (video):

  1. Take the magnet, move it to the rounded edge and wait for the blink. Then move the magnet away.
  2. Repeat this 3 times. A final short blink will confirm that the user command was successful.

Switch-LoRaWAN

Strips and radio communication

Strips uses low power radio signals to communicate with your Z-Wave™ controller. For best results, please consider the following:

Strips should not be mounted directly on metal, magnetic surfaces or encased within a metal structure as the range will reduced. Strips’ range is up to 100 meters. (325 feet) Any non-battery Z-Wave™ device will act as an extender to increase network reliability and range.

Poor network reliability will affect Strips’ battery life. To make sure that you have a good network, place Strips at its intended location and perform a Wake Up (see below). If Strips blinks 5 times, this indicates that Strips failed to communicate with the controller. If it happens you may move the Z-Wave™ controller closer or add an extender between the controller and Strips sensor.

To perform a manual wake up:

  1. Take the magnet, move it to the rounded edge and wait for the blink. Then move the magnet away.
  2. Repeat this 3 times. A final short blink will confirm that the user command was successful.

If your Z-Wave™ system doesn’t respond, you may need to change Strips’ notification type from the controller.

Mounting Strips

Mounting Strips Guard 700/800

Pre-installation

When its time to install Strips, depending on your application, some measurements/alignments could be needed before permanent mounting with our adhesive backing.

To correctly mount Strips, please follow the steps below:

  1. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and at least +10°C(+50°F). Use the included cloth to clean and prepare the surfaces.
  2. Remove the brown protective film from the small Strips test adhesive. This adhesive is used before the final placement so it is easy to re-position Strips if needed.
  3. Place Strips where you want it mounted. Check the position by carefully closing the door/window and then opening it completely again.
  4. Identify where the magnet should be placed (See picture below). Remove the protective film and place the magnet. Close and open again to validate that your Z-Wave™ controller detected the changes. Re-position if needed.
  5. Check that the door/window can be fully closed and opened and that your Z-Wave™ controller detects the changes.
  6. When you are satisfied, mark the exact position for Strips. Remove it from its position, remove the long film protecting the adhesive backing and place Strips exactly as you marked.
  7. Keep the spare magnet; it can be used to wake up, remove or reset Strips in the future.

First mark an area to install the sensor, then remove the brown pre-mounting tape on the back of the device:

Tip: Using regular tape also works great.

For good functionality in the door or window:

  • To place Strips invisibly, you need a gap in your door or window frame with a minimum height of 3.5 mm.
  • Strips may be mounted on the frame (recommended) and the magnet on the door/window, or vice versa.
  • Open the door/window fully to check that the placement of Strips and the magnet does not interfere with hinges or locking mechanisms.

Switch-LoRaWAN

Magnet placement and sensor range:

Check that the magnet can be placed so that it is less than 10 mm from Strips’ square end when the door/window is closed. When the door/window is open, the magnet should be at least 30 mm away from Strips.

Switch-LoRaWAN

Permanent Mounting

Once the desired measurements/markings have been applied, its time to mount Strips in its final location. This step is easy as cleaning the application area, then removing the adhesive backing on Strips.


Removing Strips from its mounted position

To easily remove Strips when the sensor is mounted with the adhesive backing, simply get floss or something similar, and gently draw it behind the back of the device and the surface it is mounted on and run the string up or down the length of the Strip, removing it from the surface.
