1. Ensure that the LED blinks when inserting new batteries.

2. Make sure the batteries are seated in place and secure.

3. Using the screws (4) provided, attach back cover to sensor making sure to align the sensing prongs.

*Do not over tighten screws.

4. Pour a small amount of water onto a plate or counter top. Place sensor onto the wet area, making sure the sensing

element is touching the water.

5. Once detected (within 5s), the LED will blink twice to indicate alert. Dry off the sensor with a towel to reset.

6. If the LED doesn’t blink, refer to Troubleshooting section.

Installation Guide

LOCATIONS TO INSTALL SENSOR

The sensor is suitable for use in normally dry, interior locations only. Do not install outside or in areas that become wet

normally or have high humidity. Avoid placing the unit close to a metal frame, or other metal appliances that may affect its’

range. Place the unit flat on the floor or inside cabinet so that any leaks that may occur will not drip directly on the unit, but

next to it, and form a puddle that will wet the sensor. Using Velcro tape is a great way to keep sensors in place.

Recommended Uses:

•Under sinks

•Next to Sump pumps

•Water Heaters

•Laundry Room Appliances

•Behind toilets

•Dishwashers

•Refrigerators

•Bath tubs

Sensing Element

Note: Water must come into contact with this part of the sensor to

activate the sensor. Be sure to place sensor flat on its bottom surface

(pictured right) with the sensing element in the flood path.

Note about Concrete or Natural Stone Floors: Placing the sensor directly onto a cold surface, such

as a concrete or natural stone floor may cause false alarms. The humidity and out-gassing that rises out

of curing concrete may set off the sensor, triggering a water alarm. To avoid this, you can place a small

spacer (such as a piece of foam tape or Velcro) between the sensor and the floor,

making sure not to cover the sensing element. The 3mm thickness is enough to

keep the sensing element low to detect leaks, but high enough to avoid false alarms.

Using Velcro tape is a great way to keep sensors in place and avoid them being displaced

while cleaning floors.

INCLUDING THE SENSOR IN YOUR Z-WAVE NETWORK

1. Install the two AA batteries and secure the bottom cover using the 4 supplied screws.

2. Walk sensor to its installation location. Make sure it is within 25 feet of the Z-Wave hub or another Z-Wave signal

repeating device.

3. Set your Z-Wave Hub into Inclusion mode. Refer to your controller’s user manual for specific details on network

inclusion, exclusion or association.

Inclusion (adding to network)

1. Set inclusion mode on your controller

2. Press and hold the program button for 1-3 seconds. The LED on the sensor will blink twice if successful.

Exclusion (Removing from network)

1. Set up exclusion mode on your controller

2. Press and hold the button for 1-3 seconds. The LED on the sensor will blink four times once complete.

Trouble connecting to your Z-wave Network?

1. Check to make sure the sensor isn’t already in a network. Press the program button and observe LED indicator. You

may need to first exclude the unit from a network, then include it.

Note: Your Z-Wave HUB may not support this device. Check our website, or Contact us for a list of compatible Hubs’.

DURING AN ALARM

Water Alarm

If water is detected 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. The type of alert message depends on how the sensor is configured.

Clearing an Alarm

Drying 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.

Remote Alert

Depending on your specific controller’s capabilities you will be able to remotely check the status of the sensor in your

network and setup automatic notifications to your mobile devices when an alarm is detected.

ASSOCIATIONS

Once in a network, use your controller to associate the sensor with other devices in the Z-WaveTM network, such as a water

valve. For example, when a water leak is detected, the sensor can be set up to automatically send a command to turn off a

Water Shut-off Valve. Refer to your controller’s documentation on how to associate the sensor with another device in your

network. The sensor supports eight association groups with a maximum of 2 associated devices in each group.

Note: Association groups 5 through 8 allow the temperature to be sent to an associated device (such as the controller).

The sensor 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 notifications will decrease battery life!

Basic Set Command ON (default, 0xFF) or OFF (0x00) is sent to the associated nodes

to indicate that a Water Alarm is active. This depends on the parameter 4

configuration value. When the water alarm is cleared, one additional report with

the opposite value is sent.

Basic Set Command with value = 0xFF is sent to the associated nodes to indicate

that a Temperature High condition has been detected. When the temperature is

back in the normal range, one additional report with value = 0x00 is sent.

Basic Set Command with value = 0xFF is sent to the associated nodes to indicate

that a Temperature Low condition has been detected. When the temperature is

back in the normal range, one additional report with value = 0x00 is sent.

Temperature report (Multilevel Sensor) when the temperature has changed (with

filtering/hysteresis to avoid continuous transmissions at a transition point).

Temperature report (Multilevel Sensor) every 5 minutes

Temperature report (Multilevel Sensor) every 20 minutes

Temperature report (Multilevel Sensor) every 60 minutes

ADVANCED CONFIGURATIONS FOR YOUR SENSOR

The high and low temperature set points in the sensor can be configured. The low temperature set point must always be set

at least two degrees below the high temperature set point. The low temperature set point cannot be set less than –10

degrees C and the high temperature set point cannot be set greater than 70 degrees C. The temperature set points can be

configured using your Z-Wave controller after your sensor is included into the network.
