General information about
the FIBARO System
FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the
Z-Wave protocol. All of available devices can be controlled through
a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Devices are not only
receivers, but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave
network’s range. It gives advantage over traditional wireless systems
that require direct link between transmitter and receiver, as a result the
construction of the building could aect network’s range negatively.
Every FIBARO network has its unique identication number (home
ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in the building without
interfering. Transmission security of FIBARO System is comparable to
wired systems.
Z-Wave technology is the leading solution in smart home automation.
There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are mutually
compatible, independently of manufacturer. It gives the system the
ability to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit:

DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
Main features of FIBARO Flood Sensor:
• Compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave+ Controller
• Supports protected mode (Z-Wave network security mode) with
AES-128 encryption
• May be connected to any alarm system (potential free output
terminal)
• Extremely easy installation - simply put on a surface prone to ooding
• May be installed anywhere - ood sensor’s contacts extended
with a wire
• Battery or VDC powered. When connected to an external, VDC power
source, the battery serves as an emergency power source
• Theft protection - tilt is reported to the Z-Wave network or alarm
system’s main controller
• Two operating modes - ood/temperature sensor or just a
temperature sensor.
• Alarm is signalled by sound, visual indicator (LED diode) and Z-Wave
FIBARO Flood Sensor is a universal, Z-Wave compatible, ood and
temperature sensor. Device can be battery or VDC powered. Flood
alarm is sent to the Z-Wave network devices or additionally to any
alarm system controller, through opening a NC contact.
The device has built in temperature sensor, monitoring temperature
of e.g. oor. Flood Sensor is designed to be placed on the oor or on
a wall with a ood sensor probe extended by connected wire. The
device has built in visual LED indicator and acoustic alarm. LED diode
signals ood, operating mode or the Z-Wave network communication
range.
In addition, the sensor is equipped with a tilt sensor reporting tilt or
movement to the main controller e.g. when someone has taken the
Sensor from its original location.
FIBARO Flood Sensor is sink-proof, which means it drifts on the water
surface and keeps on sending alarm signal in case of substantial
inundation of water.

POWERING MODES
#5: Powering modes
There are two powering modes for the FIBARO Flood Sensor. By de-
fault it is powered by a factory included battery. In addition it can
work with a constant voltage, after connecting a 12/24 VDC power
supply to +12 and GND terminals (see„Diagrams and connection” on
page 7).
Powering mode conguration is carried out automatically, while a
sensor is being added into the Z-Wave network.
When battery powered, a FIBARO Flood Sensor communicates with
a Z-Wave network main controller periodically. Detected alarms are
sent immediately, but conguration parameters and associations set-
tings only at specied wake up intervals, or at a manual wake up (TMP
button click).
In DC powering mode, conguration and associations parameters are
sent when necessary, and in addition a sensor serves as a Z-Wave sig-
nal repeater.
Switching to a constant voltage powering mode:
1. Remove the sensor from the Z-Wave network
2. Connect constant voltage power source (12/24 VDC) to +12 and
GND terminals in accordance with „Diagrams and connection” on
page 7
3. Add the FIBARO Flood Sensor to the Z-Wave network
In constant powering mode a sensor may operate without a bat-
tery. Installing a battery is recommended though, as it will serve as
an emergency power source. When constant power fails, sensor will
automatically shift to an backup power mode. All reports, including
ood and temperature, will be sent immediately, but it will not be
possible to modify the conguration or association settings until con-
stant power returns. If a sensor served as a signal repeater for other
Z-Wave devices, in emergency mode signal repeating function will be
deactivated.
FIBARO Flood Sensor’s battery life is ca. 2 years at factory default
settings. The current battery level is displayed in a Z-Wave control-
ler interface. Red battery icon means a battery needs replacement. In
order to avoid triggering tamper alarm while replacing the battery,
4th association group’s associations must be deleted, and Sensor’s
parameters’ conguration set to default.
NOTE
FIBARO Flood Sen-
sor will automatically
exit emergency mode
once 12/24 VDC at
+12 and GND termi-
nals is detected
i
CAUTION
Using batteries other
than specied may
result in explosion.
Dispose of properly,
observing environ-
mental protection
rules.

OPERATING THE DEVICE
#6: Operating the device
Controlling the Flood Sensor using the TMP button:
FIBARO Flood Sensor is equipped with a TMP button, which allows to
use the MENU mode and additionally perform the following actions:
1x click: select the desired MENU option (if MENU mode is active)
3x click: send the Node Info Z-Wave command frame (adding/remov-
ing and wake up)
Holding: enter the MENU mode (conrmed by the visual indicator)
MENU mode & visual indications:
FIBARO Flood Sensor is equipped with a LED diode, signalling sensor’s
operating modes and alarms. In addition the visual indicator may in-
form of the Z-Wave network range and the current temperature.
Visual indicator signalling modes:
1. Flood alarm is signalled with alternating white and blue light.
2. In battery powering mode, with parameter no. 63 set to 1, visual
indicator will periodically show temperature readouts (depend-
ing on parameters 50, 51, 61 and 62 settings).
3. In constant powering mode, the current temperature readouts
will be continuously signalled with a colour depending on the pa-
rameters 50, 51, 61 and 62 settings.
4. Currently chosen MENU position is signalled with an illumination
colour.
Press and hold the TMP button for at least 3 seconds to enter MENU.
Inside MENU, each of the positions will be signalled with a LED colour.
WHITE - entering MENU conrmation
GREEN - cancel alarm for associated devices
VIOLET - Z-Wave network’s range test
YELLOW - sensor reset
Release the TMP button to choose the desired function and conrm
your choice with the TMP button click.

NOTE
By default, ood sen-
sor’s insensitivity is
set to 1 second, which
means ooding will
be reported one sec-
ond after it’s been de-
tected.
Tilt tamper is insensi-
tive to little vibrations
and turns. After its ac-
tivation, insensitivity
is turned o for 15 sec-
onds. After that, each
Sensor’s movement
will trigger audible
alarm, consisting of 3,
brief acoustic signals.
