Ring Glass Break Sensor

Introduction

Ring Alarm Glass Break Sensor is a wireless sensor for the Ring Alarm system which provides users the ability to know when breaking glass is detected. After installing the sensor on a wall, ceiling or shelf and setting up the sensor in the Ring app, monitor and receive notifications when breaking glass is detected. The Ring Alarm Base Station is required to enable Glass Break Sensor features and functions within the Ring app.

Note

• This product can be operated in any Z-Wave™ network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.
• SmartArt enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.

Ring Glass Break Sensor – Basic Setup & Installation

1. Ensure your Ring Alarm system is disarmed.
2. In the Ring app, tap Set Up a Device > Security > Sensors to find the Glass Break Sensor
3. Follow the in-app instructions to complete setup.

Installation

1. Choose a wall or ceiling or shelf for installing your Glass Break Sensor.
2. Ensure the surfaces where you plan to install your sensor are clean and free from dust or dirt.
3. Using the provided double-sided tape, peel the backing and attach the sensor to the mounting location.

Note

• It is recommended to mount the Glass Break Sensor at least 7’ (2m) off the ground, and within 25 feet (7.62m) of your glass windows and doors.

Z-Wave Instructions

• Z-Wave Device Type: Notification Sensor
• Role Type: Listening Sleeping Slave (LSS)
• GENERIC_TYPE_SENSOR_NOTIFICATION (0x07)
• SPECIFIC_TYPE_NOTIFICATION_SENSOR (0x01)

Z-Wave Long Range
This device supports both Classic Z-Wave and Z-Wave Long Range. Z-Wave Long Range capable controllers can include this device as a device in the network. Long range mode allows for a much greater operating range of the device. The device can only operate in one mode at a time, and it is dictated during the inclusion process by the controller or Base Station. To change operating modes (Z-Wave SmartStart vs. Z-Wave Long Range SmartStart), the device must be removed from the network and then re-added in the desired mode.

Adding Ring Glass Break Sensor to a Z-Wave Network
Ring Glass Break Sensor can be added via Smart Start or Classic inclusion mode.

Note: When prompted for the QR Code or PIN, you may find them on the device, on the box, or on a card inside the box. Keep the device nearby. You’ll be prompted to pull the battery tab to power on the device and enter setup mode.
