POWERING MODES
#9: Powering modes
There are two powering modes of the Swipe. By default, powering
mode of the device is updated automatically (in intervals specied in
parameter 5) after changing type of supply.
The Swipe sends detected gestures to the Z-Wave network
immediately, but conguration parameters and associations settings
only at wake up (in time intervals or manually), independently of the
powering mode.
Battery powering mode - by default, the Swipe is supplied with
4 batteries included with the device (type AA 1.5V). They are not
rechargeable and should be replaced after wearing out. The device in
this mode uses power saving function to preserve battery life.
External supply mode - the Swipe can be supplied with a 5V DC
power supply connected to the micro-USB port. In this mode batteries
will work as an emergency supply.
CAUTION
Using batteries other
than specied may re-
sult in explosion. Dis-
pose of properly, ob-
serving environmental
protection rules.

Power saving:
When battery powered, the Swipe will enter Standby Mode by default
(signalled with a low pitch beep) after 5 seconds of inactivity to reduce
the battery usage. In Standby Mode range and frequency of detection
are reduced preventing normal gesture detection. Operation of
power saving mode can be modied in parameter 6.
In order to exit Standby Mode:
1. Move your hand close to the centre of the pad.
2. Wait for the high pitch beep.
3. Move your hand away from the pad.
4. The device is ready to detect gestures.
NOTE
The device does not
work as a Z-Wave
repeater, even when
connected to the ex-
ternal power supply.
