3. Configuración
3.1 antes de la instalación
- Asegúrese de que su red Wi-Fi sea de 2.4 GHz. El dispositivo no es compatible con Wi-Fi de 5 GHz.
- Descargue la aplicación eWeLink desde la App Store (iOS) o Google Play Store (Android).
- Regístrese e inicie sesión en su cuenta eWeLink.
- Ensure the sensor has fresh batteries installed (2 x AAA 1.5V batteries).
3.2 Instalación física
- Identify a suitable location on your door or window frame. The main sensor unit and the magnetic strip must be mounted on adjacent surfaces (e.g., one on the door and one on the frame).
- Clean the installation surface thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion.
- Peel off the protective film from the 3M adhesive on the back of both the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip.
- Attach the main sensor unit to the fixed part of the door/window frame.
- Attach the magnetic strip to the moving part of the door/window, aligning it with the main sensor unit. Ensure the alignment marks on both parts face each other.
- The gap between the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip must be less than 5mm when the door/window is closed for proper operation. This is recommended for non-metallic surfaces.
