From Aeotec by Aeon Labs' Intelligence series comes
the Recessed Door Sensor. Invisibly installed, it sits
within a door and its frame to provide all the
information needed by a Z-Wave system for security,
safety, and ambiance, and it does it all without altering
a room's aesthetics.
Your Recessed Door Sensor is comprised of two parts:
the larger Main Sensor and the smaller Magnetic
Sensor.
The larger Main Sensor
Separate the Main Sensor's two sections by first
removing its lid and then removing its internal
components.
Remove the clear battery insulator by pulling it away
from the Main Sensor.
Install your Recessed Door Sensor
With the Main Sensor powered and activated, it is now
time to inlay it within your selected doorframe and to also
install the Magnetic Sensor.
Top of the door
Side of the door
Prepare a space for the Main Sensor by drilling a hole
into your doorframe using a 19mm wide drill bit. The
hole should be 65 mm deep.
Step 1
65mm deep
19mm
Drill bit
Drill a corresponding hole in your door. The hole should be
15 mm deep. As stated, the position of this hole should align
exactly with the one hole you just created in the doorframe.
Again, use a 19mm wide drill bit.
Step 2
15mm deep
19mm
Drill bit
Doorframe
Door
Insert the Main Sensor into the hole you created in the
doorframe then secure it using two screws.
Step 3
With your door and doorframe prepared and the drill holes
created, it's now time to mount both parts of your Recessed
Door Sensor.
Secure with screws
Done
Place a small amount of white glue (PVA) inside the hole
you created for the Magnetic Sensor. Then place the sensor
over and into the hole, and insert it by tapping gently on it
with a rubber hammer.

Quick Start
The installation of your Recessed Door Sensor has two
major steps: the installation of the Main Sensor and the
insta llation of the Magne t ic Se nsor. Power ed by
batteries, your door sensor will use wireless technology
to talk to your Z-Wave network once installed.
Prepare the Main Sensor
The first step in installing your Recessed Door Sensor is
to activate the Main Sensor.
1.
2.
3.
With the battery insulator removed, reinsert the
internal components into the Main Sensor's enclosure
before reattaching its lid. The Main Sensor will now
look as it did prior to step 1.
4.
Note: Ensure that the Main Sensor's button aligns with
the button hole of its lid.
Before beginning it is important to select a suitable
position for your Recessed Door Sensor. For the following
instructions, your Recessed Door Sensor should be:
Installed at the top of a door or the side of door.
Positioned away from metal that could interfere with
its magnetic functionality. This includes your door's
plate, handle or lock mechanism.
Installed in a suitable location to ensure a clear(at
least 1mm) separation when the door is closed.
Positioned exactly above or beside the hole you'll later
in your door for the installation of the Magnetic Sensor.
The rectangular areas highlighted above are the most
appropriate installation positions.
The gap between the two parts of your sensor must be
at least 1mm. If they are not, re-affix the Main Sensor
potentially by altering its hole.
