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.

Outdoorinstallation.

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motionreadings.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.

IfyouwishtousetheMultisensor6outdoors,youwillneedtolowersettings,andangletheMultisensor6accordinglyasall

environmentswillrequiredifferentsolutionsordifferentsettingsforthemotionsensortoworkproperly.Parameter4[1

byte]willdeterminethesensitivityofthemotionsensorfromavaluerangeof0disabledto5maxsensitivity(yourabilityto

configurethissettingwilldependonthegatewayused).

Itisadvisedthatifyouareseeingfalsemotiontracking,runtrialanderrortodeterminethebestsensitivityfromarangeof

05bygoingdown1sensitivitylevelaftereverytest(first5,4,3,2,then1),whilesettingParameter3[2byte]to10to
