The ADC-S2000-T-RB Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is slightly different than other Z-Wave devices in that it doesn’t respond to network rediscoveries, and must be learned in after all other Z-wave devices.

To enroll the Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) into a Z-Wave network:

  1. Enroll all of your other Z-Wave devices in the network.
  2. Verify the panel and all Z-Wave devices are in their final location.
  3. Run a network rediscovery. This can take several minutes to complete, depending on how many Z-Wave devices are enrolled.
  4. Put the panel in Z-Wave add mode.
  5. Once in its final location, press the pairing button on the Remote Temperature Sensor. The white light on the Remote Temperature Sensor lights up when it is enrolled.

Troubleshooting

If the preceding steps do not successfully enroll the RTS, try the following steps.

Remove and re-enroll the RTS

To remove and re-enroll the RTS:

  1. Put the panel into Z-Wave delete mode.
  2. Press the pairing button on the Remote Temperature Sensor to remove the sensor’s Z-Wave network information.
  3. Try to enroll the RTS in the panel’s Z-Wave network.
Verify compatibility

If that doesn’t help, verify the RTS is compatible with the system it’s being enrolled into.

Improve Z-Wave communication

To improve Z-Wave communication:

  1. Add a Z-Wave repeater to the network.
  2. Place the Z-Wave repeater between the RTS and the closest Z-Wave device.
  3. Run a network rediscovery.
  4. Try to enroll the RTS in the panel’s Z-Wave network.
