PRODUCT'INTRODUCTION'
The Salus Embedded Door Sensor is a ZigBee HA 1.2 compatible
sensor used primarily to detect the opening and closing of a door. It
is installed in the door frame so that it is hidden from view and does
not detract from the room’s décor.
Key features include:
• Quick and easy installation without special tools
• Adjusts for door-to-frame gaps up to 1/4 inch
• Tamper switch to detect removal
• Hidden installation does not distrupt room’s décor
• ZigBee™ wireless technology for connected home systems
• 42-month battery life under normal usage

INSTALLING'THE'SENSOR'
There are three basic steps to installing the sensor
• Pair the sensor to the connected home system
• Install the sensor at the desired location
• Test the sensor
Tools'
You will need the following tools to install the Embedded Door
Sensor.
• 7/8” drill bit
• Drill
• Rubber mallet
• Pliers (optional)
Pairing'the'Sensor'
Follow your connected home system’s instructions to prepare to add
devices to the system.
Once ready to add, go to where the
sensor is being installed to account for
any radio interference and pull the
battery tab to start the pairing process.
When the sensor is powered up, the LED
will blink three times followed by a short pause before repeating the
three blinks to indicate that it is searching for a network. If the Sensor
does not blink, you may need to reset the sensor to factory defaults.
See the Reset to Defaults section for instructions if required.
Depending on your connected home system, you may need to trip
the plunger switch or the tamper switch to complete the pairing
process. Press and release the Plunger once or twice to verify that
the connected home system registers the close and open messages.
Please refer to the system’s instructions for how to find out the state
of the sensor.
Once pairing is complete, you can install the sensor at the desired
location. See the Troubleshooting section if you encounter problems
pairing the sensor.

User's&Manual&
Installing'the'Sensor'
There are a variety of options for mounting the Embedded Door
Sensor depending on the configuration of the door and surrounding
frame as shown in the figure below.
The preferred location is Option A1 above, in the door jamb on the
hinge side of the door. Option A2 is also suitable if the frame does
not allow locating the sensor on the hinge side.
If space is not available in the door frame, the sensor can be
mounted in the lintel above the door on the handle side (Option B),
or in the door itself (Option C). Option C is not recommended if you
have a metal door as it would interfere with the radio signals.
Once the location has been identified,
mark the location with a Drill Sticker,
making sure that the inner circle is
centered on the surface that faces the
side of the door directly.
Drill a 7/8” hole at least 2.6” deep
through the sticker, making sure the
hole is straight into the door jamb. Clear
out any debris in the hole.
Tip: Mark the drill bit with tape 2.6 inches
from the front edge of the blades and
stop drilling when the tape is even with
the surface of the jamb.
Embedded&Door&Sensor& 5&
Version&1&
Close the door and note the size of the gap
between the door and the jamb. If it is less than
1/16 inch (the thickness of a penny), then you
will need to remove the flange from the Sensor
Sleeve with a pair of pliers.
Next, insert the Sensor Sleeve into the hole and
use the rubber mallet to make sure the Sensor
Sleeve is fully inserted.
Insert the Sensor into the Sensor Sleeve and
screw the Sensor into the sleeve until the
distance from the front of the sensor to the
jamb surface is slightly less than the size of the
gap noted earlier.
You may need the Installation Tool or a coin to properly adjust the
sensor depth. To use the tool, align the edge of the tool with
opposing Install Slots on the front of the sensor and insert into the
slots, pushing the Plunger down as you do so. Once in the slots,
rotate clockwise to move the Sensor into the Sensor Sleeve and
counter-clockwise to move the Sensor out of the Sensor Sleeve.
Testing'the'Sensor'
Once the Sensor is installed, test the Sensor by opening and closing
the door, and verifying that the connected home system registers the
activity.
If the activity is not being registered, 1) verify that when the door is
closed, it is pushing the plunger into the rest of the sensor and that
the plunger is extended when the door is open, and 2) there is
nothing in the wall between the sensor and the connected home
system receiver that would block the radio signal.
USING'THE'SENSOR'
There are no user configurable options in the sensor, so aside from
battery changes (low battery messages are sent to the connected
home system), no further interaction with the sensor is required.

User's&Manual&
CHANGING'THE'BATTERY'
Use only Duracell DL-CR2, Rayovac RL-CR2, Energizer EL1CR2, or GP
Batteries GPCR2 batteries to meet UL certification requirements.
To change the battery, note the depth of the Sensor relative to the
Sensor Sleeve and remove the Sensor from the Sensor Sleeve by
rotating the Sensor counter-clockwise until the Sensor is loose. The
Installation Tool or a coin may be required.
Once the Sensor is removed, press on the
back of the Battery Cover and lift up to
remove the
cover.
Grasp the front/positive end of the old
battery to remove from the Sensor.
Insert the battery negative end first and
drop the positive end into place in the sensor.
Replace the battery cover by inserting
the front of the battery cover under the
retainers and snapping the back of the
cover into the sensor housing.
Battery'Disposal'
Lithium batteries are considered
hazardous waste in most municipalities.
Please dispose of the used batteries in accordance with the
regulations for your municipality.
RESET'TO'DEFAULTS'
To reset the Sensor to factory defaults, remove the
Sensor from the Sensor Sleeve and remove the
battery. While holding down the Tamper Switch, re-
insert the battery and release the Tamper Switch
when the LED lights up. The Sensor is now reset to
defaults and will enter pairing mode to join a
network.
Replace the battery cover and re-install the Sensor
in the Sensor Sleeve at the original depth.
