DATASHEET MULTISENSOR-DOOR
The MultiSensor-DOOR is a battery-operated MultiSensor that can be networked via radio. The sensor is particularly suitable for monitoring windows and doors, but can also be used for environmental monitoring in IT racks.
The MultiSensor-DOOR requires a suitable remote station for radio operation. This wireless remote station is formed by the network-capable MultiSensors (MultiSensor-LAN or MultiSensor-TI), which also act as a wireless Ethernet gateway.
A SiteManager or AlarmManager in the MAIN-DEVICE operating mode is required for central management. Teach-in and configuration are performed entirely via the KentixONE web interface. The radio range between the gateway (MultiSensor-LAN) and MultiSensor-DOOR can be up to 20m. Up to 25 wireless sensors can be taught-in to a wireless Ethernet gateway.

Dispose of old or used batteries properly.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Controls
- Teach-in key: This key is used to teach the device into the wireless network. To teach-in the sensor, start the teach-in process in the web interface of the manager and then press the teach-in button for 3sec. Press until a signal tone is heard
- Magnetic contact
Opening the housing and changing the battery
The circuit board of the MultiSensor-Door is located in the upper part of the housing, which is plugged onto the lower part. To open the housing, press down the catch on the underside of the housing and slide the housing cover upwards. This can then be easily removed.
Remove the battery from the holder and replace it with an equivalent type, see Datasheet.
The battery level of the MultiSensor-Door is constantly monitored by the manager. When the battery is low, an alert is sent via SMS and e-mail to all administrators. Then replace the battery as soon as possible.
Note that a connection to a manager is required to operate the MultiSensor-Door.
If the MultiSensor is not configured in KentixONE or the connection is interrupted, this results in a faster discharge of the battery.
Always store the MultiSensor-Door with the battery removed.
Connect with radio network
- MultiSensor-ROOM must be within radio range of a fully configured wireless Ethernet gateway (MultiSensor-LAN or MultiSensor-TI). It is recommended to perform the teach-in process closer than the actual placement range, about 3-5m.
- Start the teach-in process in the KentixONE web interface in the “Detail View” area via the “Add device” button.
- Now press the teach-in button on the MultiSensor-ROOM for approx. 3 seconds with the battery installed. After approx. 5-10 seconds, the MultiSensor-ROOM should be recognized as a new sensor.
- Finally, carry out the configuration and place the MultiSensor-ROOM at the intended installation location.Connect to wireless network
Assembly instructions
For optimal function, please observe the following instructions during installation:
Mount the MultiSensor only vertically or horizontally on the handle side of the door or window
To avoid false alarms, place the MultiSensor on the door or window frame and the magnet on the moving part.
When using the reed contact, observe the maximum distance (1 cm) to the magnet
Only use suitable mounting material (foam tape)
If necessary, screw sensor housing to door / window frame
Kentix accepts no liability for false alarms or damage to the devices in the event of improper installation.
Use of the reed contact
The reed contact expands the MultiSensor-Door with an additional alarm contact for clear open/closed detection of door or window. The contact reacts to magnetic fields (magnet included). Wiring is not required for commissioning.
To ensure the functionality of the contact, make sure that the magnet is attached at a maximum distance of one centimeter and aligned laterally to the housing of the MultiSensor.
Depending on the design of the door or window, it may be necessary to underlay the magnet with a spacer so that the maximum distance to the sensor is not exceeded.
Configuration with KentixONE
The configuration is done via web browser (HTTPS) using the already integrated KentixONE software. Depending on the operating mode (Main or Satellite) of the device, the configuration takes place on the device itself (operating mode: Main), or on a central instance such as the SiteManager or AlarmManager (operating mode: Satellite).
All information about the software is available in the KentixONE section and the related documentation.
Before you start the configuration, make sure that the software is up to date on all network-enabled Kentix devices. The version status must be the same on all devices.
