Network Inclusion
The sensor must be added to a Z-Wave network prior to use. To include the sensor in a network both the sensor and the network controller must be in inclusion mode
at the same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your specific controller for details on initiating the controller’s inclusion mode.
1) Verify that the Z-Wave Plus controller you are using is compatible with the Flood Freeze sensor.
2) Either mount or move the Flood Freeze sensor as close as possible to the location the sensor will remain. See installation section below.
3) Put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode.
4) To add the sensor to an existing Z-Wave network, follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Controller into add (inclusion) mode. The Flood Freeze enters add
and remove (inclusion/exclusion) when powered on (when battery is added). If the LED starts blinking continuously, the sensor has no node ID and was not
successfully added, so start step C over again. Make sure to remove the battery for 10 seconds if adding to a Z-Wave network fails.
5) If after 5 seconds the LED is not blinking, look on the Z-Wave controller’s interface for feedback on whether the sensor was added successfully. If you do not
see any feedback that the sensor was added, follow directions for removing the sensor from a Z-Wave network, and then try adding the sensor again. If you
are still having problems, you may need to add additional Z-Wave listening devices in-between the controller and the sensor.
Network Exclusion
1) Any sensor can be removed from any Z-Wave Plus controller. Follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into exclusion mode. Please use this
procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
2) Open the Flood Freeze case and remove the battery for 1 seconds. Replace the battery and the controller should remove the device from the Z-Wave
network.
Network Inclusion/Exclusion: Key Points to Remember
Controller inclusion/exclusion mode must be activated BEFORE starting sensor inclusion or exclusion mode.
The sensor can only be included into one controller network at a time, and must be excluded from one network before inclusion in another.
The plastic pull tab must be removed to enable sensor operation.
The sensor automatically enters inclusion mode at power-up.
Exclusion mode on the senor is initiated following the same exact procedure as inclusion.

LED Status
The Flood Freeze is equipped with a single LED. The state of the LED will change based on the state of the device.
Device not included = Light breathing (slow blink)
Flood Detected = Single LED blink
Freeze Detected = Single LED blink
Case Opened = LED will remain on while case open
Factory Default
The Flood Freeze sensor factory defaults on network exclusion.
Testing
To test the RF transmission from the mounted position you can generate a tamper by removing the cover. This will send a signal to the control panel. To test
flood/water detection, place the probe in a cup of water. Placing the sensor in a freezer to test freezing may not work if the signal cannot penetrate the
appliance. You may place a bag of ice over the sensor to test freeze detection. (may take upwards of 30 minutes to detect)
Replacing the Battery
When the battery is low a low battery notification will be sent to the life line nodes. To replace the battery:
1. Remove the top cover to reveal the battery. This will send a tamper signal to the lifeline nodes.
2. Replace with a Panasonic CR123A battery ensuring the + side of the battery faces as indicated on the device.
3. Re-attach the cover, you should hear a click when the cover engages properly.
Installation
The package contains the following:
1- Flood Sensor with Probe
1- Sensor Mounting Bracket
2- Screws for Sensor Mounting Bracket
1- Adhesive tape for Sensor Mounting Bracket
2- Screws for probe
1- Adhesive tape for mounting Probe.

STEP ONE Identify Location for Sensor:
Determine where to place the probe sensor. The probe should be located where water is most likley to pool if a leak occurs.
The sensor needs to be mounted while the probe can reach the location described above.
STEP TWO Mount the Sensor:
Mount the sensor to a clean dry surface with the adheasive tape and/or the screws provided

STEP THREE Mount the Probe:
Mount the probe to a clean dry surface where water is most likley to pool if a leak occurs.
ADDITIONAL NOTES AND SUMMARY:
The sensor can slide onto the mounting bracket in two different ways. To ensure that the sensor is securely fastened it is recommended that the tab on the
bracket engage the back of the sensor.
Before attaching the bracket to a surface note how the bracket will need to be oriented in order for the tab to engage the sensor. The required orientation
of the sensor determines the bracket orientation.
The sensor slides onto the bracket until the tab engages. Please be advised that adhesive tape may damage the surfaces to which it is attached.

Z-Wave Plus Specific Information
Z-Wave Plus is a wireless mesh network and data protocol that allows devices from many different manufacturers to interoperate. This device implements Z-Wave Plus
functionality, Network Wide Inclusion, and Explorer frames. This device is asleep most of the time but can respond to queries on a Wake Up Notification; however for
test purposes, the device will stay awake while tampered for testing Z-Wave Plus command class functionality. The following information is intended for software
engineers working on Z-Wave Plus controllers and home automation enthusiasts to integrate the Z-Wave Plus sensor into their system.

Z-Wave Plus Command Class Association
The Flood Freeze sensor supports one association group with up to 5 nodes. All notifications, and events are sent to association group one (lifeline).
Association
This sensor has one Association groups of 5 nodes. Group one is a lifeline group who will receive unsolicited messages relating to flood/freeze notifications, case
tampering notifications, low-battery notifications.
Network Wide Inclusion
This sensor also supports Network Wide Inclusion such that the Sensor can be included into the Z-Wave network over the mesh network and not directly near the
main controller. This mode is automatically activated after regular inclusion was not successful
Wake-Up Notification
The sensor will wake up every so often and when the case is closed to send a Wake-Up Notification to allow the life line master node controller that the sensor is
now available for any queued messages that the controller may have for the sensor. The time between Wake-Up Notifications can be configured with the Wake-
Up Notification command class to be between 1 hour and 1 week with interval steps of 200 seconds. The sensor will also send a wakeup notification whenever
the case is closed.
