Technical info

The wireless window and door contact can be used to monitor the status of windows, doors, and gates. When the contact is opened or closed, a wireless signal is sent to the Qbus Wireless Interface module. The QWE MC01/white includes a built-in battery monitor. As soon as the battery capacity becomes low, a "Battery Low" telegram is sent to the Qbus Wireless Interface module so that it can in turn notify via email, SMS, or through a notification on the Cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you read an existing configuration?
This is a completely different procedure depending on the type of controller.
For the CTD controllers this goes as follows:
In the SMIII via "File" or "Utilities / Setup / SD card", click on "Recover QDB from SD".
After confirmation you choose the name and location where the file should be saved. The zipped QDB file is then read from the SD card of the CTD and saved. With a positive answer to the question "Unzip and open restored QDB?", All data will then be immediately available. If the data you were still working on was not sent or saved, you will first receive a notification to do so.

For a CTL controller follow the following procedure:
Because this controller does not yet have a large memory, only limited data can be recovered. Ao the names are abbreviated to 12 characters and serial numbers are not stored anywhere.
The first step is therefore to type in ALL serial numbers via SMII via "File / Modules". These 6-digit serial numbers can be found on every module (DIN rail, switch, detector, etc.). For the SWC0x switches, an extra option was provided to have them send their serial number via “Search for modules”.
When you then click on the "down arrow", you can read all this limited information.
Always use the latest software for configuration.

It is always recommended to use the most recent version. This version supports the newest modules and resolves all known bugs.
If, for example, you enter a serial number and the correct module information does not appear, you are likely not working with the most recent software.
A newer version will always be able to open the older files (.QDB) without data loss.
The latest version of the System Manager software, along with the user manual and version history, can be found in the knowledge center.

Technical info for installers

Function description

The wireless window and door contact can be used to monitor the status of windows, doors, and gates. With each status change, a radio telegram is sent and indicated by the flashing of the 2-color LED.
Upon opening or closing the contact, an Easywave code is sent to the QWI/EW module configured by System Manager III.
The QWE MC01/white includes a built-in battery monitor. As soon as the battery capacity becomes weak, a “Battery Low” telegram is sent to the configured QWI/EW module, which in turn informs the Qbus system and can be accessed via Qbus System Manager III or through a set message notification (Email or SMS) via Qbus Cloud or Ubie Cloud.

General

Safety Regulations
Read the full manual before installing the module and activating the system.
ATTENTION
The device must be installed and commissioned by a qualified electrician in accordance with country-specific regulations.
The device must not be opened other than as described for battery replacement. The warranty becomes void if the module is opened.
Keep the batteries out of reach of children.

Installation and wiring

Installation
Unscrew the top part of the module.
Place the battery in the battery holder with the positive terminal facing upwards. Slide the battery holder between the battery clip and the PCB in the module.
Follow the instructions in System Manager III to pair the module with the QWI/EW module.
Screw the module with the included screws or sticker pads to the window, door, or gate frame.
Note: Ensure that there is no possible interference with the wireless connection. Do not mount the module in a junction box, metal enclosure, near metal objects, or on or near the floor.
Attach the magnet tab to the moving part of the window, door, or gate so that the magnet is as close as possible to the location indicated on the transmitter. The distance between the magnet and the transmitter must not exceed 5mm.
Check battery
The battery voltage is checked by the module each time:
The status of the contact changes (sending the new status)
At least once every 24 hours after the last status has been sent.
As soon as the battery status is considered weak, a "Battery Low" signal is sent at least once every 4 hours.
Once the battery is empty, the red LED will blink 3 times briefly with a 20-second interval, and the low-voltage telegram will be sent automatically. It is advisable to replace the battery at this point. (see “Replacing the battery”)
If the voltage drops further, the module will shut itself down and no further status changes will be transmitted.
Battery replacement
Unscrew the top part of the transmitter.
Pull the battery holder out of the slot and replace the battery. Use only CR2032 type batteries. Ensure that the positive terminal is visible at the top!
Place the holder back and screw the top part of the transmitter back on.
Note: The pairing of the module with the QWI/EW remains intact, no further steps are necessary.
Troubleshooting
If the receiver does not respond to this module:
Check whether the wireless connection in the installation is not disrupted between this module and the QWI/EW.
Verify the configuration of the QWI/EW and if the link with this module is still active.
Ensure that other wireless devices operating at the same frequency or in close proximity are not interfering with the functionality of this product.

For each wireless module it is important that it is enrolled to the gateway (QWI/EW)
An I/O module receives a code from the QWI/EW, an input module sends its code to the QWI/EW.

Both when making contact and when breaking contact, this module will send its key.

It will send its transmission code and store it in a free place in the QWI. The transmission code is displayed and the key pressed is displayed in green.

In addition to reporting a low battery status, this module will also be marked as an error if it has not reported its status within 24 hours. The battery of this module is then completely empty or the wireless signal is too weak.
