FAQs
How do I install the door/window sensors?
Clean the mounting surfaces on the door and frame. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive tape and firmly press each sensor half onto its respective surface. Ensure they are aligned and within the recommended gap when the door/window is closed.
What is the range of the sensors from the base station?
The wireless range is typically up to 300 feet (90 meters) in open areas. Obstructions like walls and furniture can reduce this range. It's recommended to test the connection after installation.
Can I add more sensors to the AS05 system?
Yes, the AS05 system is expandable. It can support up to 44 additional X-Sense devices, such as more door/window sensors, motion sensors, or smoke detectors.
How long do the batteries last?
The replaceable batteries in the sensors and base station are designed to last up to 5 years under normal usage conditions. You will receive low battery alerts in the app when replacement is needed.
Do I need a subscription for the app features?
The X-Sense app allows for remote monitoring, control, and notifications without requiring a subscription fee. However, check the X-Sense website for any premium features that may be offered.
How loud is the alarm?
The base station emits a loud 100 dB alarm, designed to be clearly audible within the home and potentially deter intruders.
Can I control the system with my voice?
Yes, the AS05 system is compatible with Amazon Alexa. You can use voice commands to check the system's status or arm it in different modes.
Troubleshooting
System not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure your Wi-Fi password is correct and the network is 2.4GHz. Try moving the base station closer to your router or restarting both the base station and your router.
Sensor not detected by base station
Check the battery in the sensor and ensure it is properly installed. Try re-pairing the sensor through the X-Sense app.
App not receiving notifications
Verify that your phone has an active internet connection. Check the app's notification settings on your phone and within the X-Sense app itself. Ensure the system is armed.
False alarms from motion sensor
Adjust the placement of the motion sensor to avoid pointing it directly at heat sources (like vents or direct sunlight) or areas with pets that might trigger it. Ensure the sensor is mounted securely to prevent vibrations.
Keypad unresponsive
Check the battery in the keypad and replace if necessary. Try re-pairing the keypad with the base station via the X-Sense app.
