WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
•Do not store highly flammable items such as oily rags or other combustibles near your FTS05x.
•Do not apply electrical power to the unit unless the unit is fully assembled.
•Install unit in accordance with electrical codes and regulations. In case you are unsure about any parts of these instructions consult an
electrician or Z-WaveTM home automation specialist.
•FTS05x functionality is based on wireless (RF) transmissions. Any wireless transmission can be subject to RF interference or loss of
communication. This interference or loss of communication may cause the unit to not operate as intended. You, the end-user, are
responsible for ensuring that the FTS05x functionality and installation meets your desired requirements.
oWARNING - The FTS05x must not be used in life support and / or safety applications.
•Do not place FTS05x on or near metal objects. This decreases range and/or blocks wireless transmissions.
•Information provided in this manual is for your convenience and may be superseded by updates. This manual is subject to change
without notice. It is your responsibility to ensure that the FTS05x functionality meets your needs and specifications.
Using the FTS05x in a Z-WaveTM Network
Program Switch for Network Add/Remove The switch is used for adding into or removing from a Z-WaveTM
network. Refer to your controller’s User Manual for specific details. A Security-Enabled controller must be
used to fully utilize the FTS05x.
Add (Inclusion) into a network: 1) Set up the Add/Inclusion mode at the controller; 2) Briefly press the switch once and the controller will indicate
the unit has been added into the network. Also, the LED will blink when complete. Add/Inclusion and Remove/Exclusion are always done at normal
transmit power mode. This product can be added and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers
and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the
network. The FTS05x can be added either securely (ZWave S0 Security) or non-securely depending on your controller settings.
Remove (Exclusion) from a network: 1) Set up the Remove/Exclusion mode at the controller; 2) Press and hold the switch for approx. 2 seconds
and then release. The controller will indicates the unit has been removed from the network. The LED will blink when complete.
Associations: Once in a network, a controller can be used to associate the FTS05x with other devices in the Z-WaveTM network, such as a light or
a remote audible alarm. Refer to your controller’s documentation on how to associate FTS05x with another device in your network. The FTS05x
supports eight association groups with a maximum of 2 devices in each group. Refer to the Association section below.
Node Info / Keep-Alive: While not in a network, the FTS05x will send the Z-WaveTM Node information frame when the switch is briefly pressed.
This is primarily used for adding as described above. The node information frame will also be sent while in network when the switch is pressed
and held for 2 seconds. In either case, the FTS05x will ‘stay awake’ for approximately 30 seconds after this to allow time for configuration
commands from the controller. Refer to Status indications below for LED feedback.
Wakeup Notification: The FTS05x will wake up and send a notification every 4 hours (default) to allow a controller to query and update the status
of the unit. A brief switch press while in network will also cause the FTS05x to wake up and send a notification. The device stays awake for 10
seconds during this time or longer if communicating with the controller.

Choosing a mounting location
The FTS05 is suitable for use in normally dry, interior locations only. The FTS05P (only) allows the water / temperature sensor in the external probe
to be submerged. Avoid placing the unit close to a metal frame, or other metal enclosures that may affect RF range. Place the unit so that any
leaks that may occur will not drip directly on the unit.
Recommended FTS05x uses: Under sink, Next to Sump pumps, Water Heaters, Laundry Room, Bathroom Floor, Storage Area, Garage, Utility Sink,
Vacation/Recreation homes, Boats, etc. Additionally, the FTS05P is intended for applications where a certain water level should be maintained.
During an alarm
This section describes the main Alarm/Notification functionality of the FTS00xx device. Refer to the Technical Appendix for details of all the alarms
(Notifications). If water is detected or missing (FTS05P only) at the monitoring location or an over/under-temperature condition is detected, the
unit will send an alert message(s) to the Z-WaveTM network (if added into the network). The type of alert message depends on how the FTS05x is
configured. If associations are configured, Basic Set messages will be sent as described below under Associations. If Water or Heat Alarms have
been configured (via the Notification Command Class), then the FTS05x will send alert messages to the Lifeline group (Association Group 1). Both
Association (Basic Set) messages and Alarm alert messages may be configured and sent. Drying or submerging (FTS05P only) the sensor contacts
will clear the Water Alarm. If an over/under temperature Alarm occurred and the temperature alarm conditions are no longer present, an ‘alarm
clear’ message is also sent.
Also, depending on your Z-WaveTM controller, it is possible to receive a remote alert. For example, with some gateway controllers, you can receive
an email or cell phone text message when an alarm is activated. Depending on your specific controller’s capabilities you will be able to remotely
check the status of any FTS05x in your network.
Initial Test of the FTS05x
Moisten a paper towel and place over both of the small metal pads on the FTS05 or around both metal prongs on the FTS05P probe until you
observe two quick LED blinks. The water alarm indication may take up to 4 or 5 seconds. If the LED fails to blink, your battery may be old or dead
or incorrectly installed, the sensor may not be moist enough, or the water sensor may be damaged. If you see the LED blink, remove the moistened
paper towel and clean the small metal pads of any water residue and the LED should blink four times. You can then add the FTS05x to your Z-
WaveTM network using your controller. Examples of Z-WaveTM controllers can be found on the FortrezZ website (www.fortrezz.com).
Battery / Low Battery
The FTS05x will send an alert on the Z-WaveTM network at regular intervals when it detects a low battery condition. (See the Lifeline description
in the Association section below.) These messages will initially be ‘Replace Battery Soon’ messages. When the battery gets low enough, the
message will change to ‘Replace Battery Now’. In addition, it will periodically blink the LED. Your controller may be able to be configured to
monitor the unit’s wake up notifications. If these stop, then this might also be an indication that the battery has died or that transmissions from
the FTS05x are no longer being received. After a water leak, please ensure that there is no moisture in the unit and around the battery. Do not
install batteries that appear damaged or unsealed. When replacing batteries, the water seal may be broken around the screws. After screwing
the parts back together, the use of some sealant, such as silicone caulk, around the screws is recommended.

Configuring the FTS05x
The high and low temperature setpoints in the FTS05x can be configured. The low temperature setpoint must always be set at least two degrees
below the high temperature setpoint. The low temperature setpoint cannot be set less than –10 degrees C and the high temperature setpoint
cannot be set greater than 70 degrees C. The temperature setpoints can be configured via a ‘smart’ controller after adding; details are provided
in the technical appendix. Additionally, the FTS05P can be configured for either water detect or water missing mode. In either model, the state
of the Basic Set (for association group 2) can be configured to send either ON (default) or OFF when a water alarm occurs.
ASSOCIATIONS
Once in a network, your controller can be used to associate the FTS05x inputs with other devices in the Z-WaveTM network, such as a light or
remote audible alarm. For example, when a water leak is detected, the FTS05x can be set up to automatically send a command to turn on a
device(s) associated with that alarm type. Refer to your controller’s documentation on how to associate the FTS05x with another device in your
network. The FTS05x supports eight association groups with a maximum of 2 associated devices in each group. The association groups and
functionality are listed in the table below. The Lifeline association should be automatically set up by your controller if it is Z-WaveTM Plus
compatible.
Note that association groups 5 through 8 allow the temperature to be sent to an associated device (such as the controller). The FTS05x allows
the sending rate of the reports to be optimized so that the battery life can be maximized by using the longest acceptable interval between
temperature updates. The temperature report was not included in the Lifeline so that you have the most flexibility for optimizing battery life
and getting updates for your specific application. If you want temperature updates, you should only select one of these association groups to
send to a particular device. Caution –More frequent notification will decrease battery life!
