WIRELESS
WATER FLOOD DETECTOR
AFD-100
afd100_en 08/08
The AFD-100 wireless water flood detector is designed for
operation as part of the ABAX two-way wireless system. It is
supported by the ACU-100 controller with firmware in version
1.06 or later. Approximately 5 seconds after the water level
reaches the height at which electrodes of the flood sensor are
installed, the detector will start signaling flooding. A few seconds
after the water level drops below the height at which electrodes
of the flood sensor are installed, the flood signaling will stop.
Explanations for Fig. 1:
1 - screen.
2 - terminals for the flood sensor connection.
3 - LED indicator. It lights red in the test mode only, indicating
communication with the controller (during polling), short-
circuit of the flood sensor electrodes, and opening of the
tamper contact.
4 - tamper contact, which responds to opening the housing and
pulling it off from the surface.
5 - CR123A 3 V lithium battery which ensures operation for
approx. 3-year period. The detector controls the battery
status. When the voltage drops to 2.6 V, the "low battery"
information is sent to the controller. The low battery
signaling continues until the battery is replaced.
1. Installation
The detector is designed for indoor installation.
Before mounting the detector permanently, check the level of signal received
from the detector by the ACU-100 controller and, if necessary, change the place
of installation so as to select the optimum location in terms of communication.
Install the battery inside the detector just before registering it in the controller. If
unregistered or having no communication with the controller, the detector will
consume more energy, which will reduce the battery life.
1. Open the housing.
2. Install the battery and add the detector to the wireless system (see the ACU-100 controller
user manual). A label with 7-digit serial number that should be entered during registration of
the detector in the system is provided on the screen on the electronics board.
3. Close the detector housing.
4. Select the place where the detector is to be installed and attach it there temporarily. It is
recommended that the detector be mounted as high as practicable. This will enable a better
radio communication range to be achieved, while avoiding the risk of the detector being
accidentally covered by personnel moving around the premises. Additionally, it should
prevent the detector electronics from accidental contact with water in case of flooding.

5. Check the level of signal reaching the controller from the detector. If necessary, select
another place of installation.
6. Open the housing.
7. Make a hole in the housing for the flood sensor leads.
8. Pull the flood sensor leads through the hole in the housing and screw them to the
terminals on the electronics board.
9. Fasten the housing rear panel to the mounting surface.
10.Close the detector housing.
11.Configure the detector according to your requirements. For information about the
configuration, see the ACU-100 controller user manual.
12.Launch remotely the test mode and carry out functional test of the detector by submerging
the flood sensor in water.
13.Quit the test mode.
14.Secure the flood sensor leads and the flood sensor itself. The detector is now ready for
work.

Batteries in the battery-supplied wireless equipment should be replaced by
qualified personnel. Incorrect replacement of the battery can pose an explosion
hazard.
Always use the CR123A 3V lithium batteries.
The used batteries must not be discarded, but should be disposed of in
accordance with the existing rules for environment protection.
