4.2. Instalação da bateria

  1. Gently open the back cover of the motion sensor.
  2. Insert the three AAA batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  3. Feche bem a tampa traseira.

4.3. Pairing with Your Zigbee Hub

Follow these general steps to pair your SM301Z sensor with your Zigbee hub. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your hub's application:

  1. Ensure your Zigbee hub is powered on and in pairing mode (refer to your hub's manual for specific instructions).
  2. On the SM301Z sensor, locate the RESET button (usually a small pinhole button). Press and hold the RESET button for approximately 5 seconds until the LED indicator on the sensor begins to blink. This indicates the sensor is in pairing mode.

4.4. Montagem do sensor

The SM301Z sensor is designed for wall mounting. Choose a location where motion detection is desired, keeping in mind the 3-meter maximum range.

  1. Certifique-se de que a superfície de montagem esteja limpa, seca e lisa.
  2. Peel off the protective film from one side of the provided mounting adhesive.
  3. Attach the adhesive firmly to the back of the sensor.
  4. Peel off the remaining protective film from the adhesive and press the sensor firmly onto the desired wall location for at least 30 seconds.

5. Instruções de operação

Once successfully paired and mounted, the SAMOTECH SM301Z motion sensor will detect movement within its 3-meter range and communicate this information to your Zigbee hub.

5.1. Detecção de movimento

The sensor uses Passive Infrared (PIR) technology to detect changes in infrared radiation caused by moving objects, such as people. When motion is detected, the sensor sends a signal to your Zigbee hub.

5.2. Creating Smart Routines

Leverage your Zigbee hub's capabilities to create automated routines based on motion detection:

  • Automação de iluminação: Configure lights to turn on when motion is detected in a room and turn off after a set period of no motion.
  • Alertas de segurança: Receive notifications on your smartphone if motion is detected when you are away from home.
  • Economia de energia: Automate devices to power down when no activity is detected.

6. Manutenção

6.1. Substituição da bateria

The SM301Z sensor is designed for long battery life (3+ years). When the batteries are low, your Zigbee hub application may notify you. To replace the batteries:

  1. Gently open the back cover of the motion sensor.
  2. Remova as pilhas AAA antigas.
  3. Insert three new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  4. Feche bem a tampa traseira.
  5. Descarte baterias velhas de acordo com os regulamentos locais.

7. Solução De Problemas

If you encounter issues with your SAMOTECH SM301Z motion sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • O sensor não está sendo emparelhado com o hub:
    • Certifique-se de que seu hub Zigbee esteja ligado e em modo de emparelhamento.
    • Verify the sensor's batteries are correctly installed and charged.
    • Perform a factory reset on the sensor by holding the RESET button for 5 seconds until the LED blinks, then attempt pairing again.
    • Ensure the sensor is within range of your Zigbee hub during pairing.
  • No motion detected or inconsistent detection:
    • Check the sensor's placement. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking its field of view.
    • Verify the batteries are not depleted.
    • Confirm the sensor is still connected to your Zigbee hub in the app. If not, re-pair the device.
    • Avoid placing the sensor near heat sources (e.g., vents, direct sunlight) as these can cause false detections.
  • Detecções de movimento falsas:
    • Review the sensor's placement to ensure it's not detecting pets, curtains moving in a draft, or reflections.
    • Ensure the sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight or strong drafts.
