Thank you for purchasing the WWA-01 Wireless Water & Freeze Alarm. This product will provide you with the peace of
mind and protection you expect. Leaking pipes, corroded water heaters, fixtures in bathrooms and laundry rooms,
refrigerator drip pans, etc. can all cause water damage. The WWA-01 is a Z-WaveTM enabled device and will send a
water leak alert on any Z-WaveTM enabled network. A WWA-01 unit that is not in a Z-WaveTM network will still alert you to
water leaks using the audio alarm.

Frequency Range: 908.42MHz (US)
Distance Range: Max 100ft line of sight in unobstructed environment
Product Size (LxWxD): 2.4" x 1.6" x 0.8"
Product Weight: 0.2 lb
Operating Temperature: -10ºC (14F) to +70ºC (158F)
Reported Temperature: Reported temperature is at the unit and has a +/- 2 degC accuracy
System Requirement: Any Z-WaveTM enabled network and controller.
Testing the WWA-01
Moisten a paper towel and place over both of the small metal pads on the water sensor until you hear the audible alarm
sound. If the audible alarm fails to sound, 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 do hear the audible alarm, remove the moistened paper towel, clean the small metal pads of any water residue, and
hold the button for 2 seconds to clear the alarm. You can then add your water alarm to any Z-WaveTM enabled network
and controller. Examples of Z-Wave controllers are: Schlage LiNK, Leviton's Vizia-RF Wireless Home, and Hawking
Technologies "HomeRemote Pro Home Control”.
Using the WWA-01 in a Z-WaveTM Network
Program Switch for inclusion or exclusion
Inclusion in (adding to) a network: 1) Set up the inclusion mode at the controller; 2) Press the button (or hold the button
for approx. 2 seconds) until the controller indicates the unit has been included in the network. Also, a beep will be heard
when the inclusion completes. Inclusion and exclusion are always done at normal transmit power mode.
Exclusion from (removing from) a network: 1) Set up the exclusion mode at the controller; 2) Press the button for approx.
2 seconds until the controller indicates the unit has been removed from the network. A beep will also be heard when the
exclusion completes.
Awake Mode: To remain awake and listen for commands (when in a network), press and hold the button for at least 2
seconds. The WWA-01 will stay awake for approx. 30 seconds.
Associations: Once in a network, a controller can be used to associate the WWA-01 with other devices in the Z-WaveTM
network, such as a light or another remote audible alarm. Refer to your controller’s documentation on how to associate
the WWA-01 to another device in your network. The WWA-01 supports two association groups. A maximum of 5
associated devices are allowed in each group.
The WWA-01 sends the Basic Set Command to the associated nodes assigned to Group1 to convey that a Water
Alarm is active. If no nodes are assigned to Group 1, then an Alarm Sensor report (Sensor Type 0x05) is broadcast.
The reports are sent at regular intervals while the water alarm is active. When the water alarm is cleared via the
button, one additional report (with status = no alarm) is sent.
The button in the rear casing is used for including or excluding the WWA-01
in a Z-WaveTM network. Refer to your controller’s User Manual for specific
details on network inclusion, exclusion, and association.

The WWA-01 sends the Basic Set Command to the associated nodes assigned to Group2 to convey that a Freeze
Alarm is active. If no nodes are assigned to Group 2, then an Alarm Sensor report (Sensor Type 0x04) is broadcast.
The reports are sent at regular intervals while the freeze alarm is active. When the freeze alarm is cleared due to
temperature rise, one additional report (with status = no alarm) is sent.
During an alarm
If water is detected at the monitoring location, the unit will sound an 82 decibel, audible alarm and will send an alert
message to the Z-WaveTM network (if included in the network already). Pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds will
clear the Water Alarm. If freezing conditions are detected, no audible alarm will sound but an alert message is sent to the
Z-WaveTM network (if included in the network). Depending on your Z-Wave controller, it is possible to receive a remote
alert. For example, with the Hawking gateway (mentioned above), you can receive an email or cell phone text message
when the Water Alarm is active. With a gateway’s remote access to your Z-WaveTM Home Network and depending on
your specific controller’s capabilities you will be able to check the status of any WWA-01 in your network.
Choosing a mounting location
The WWA-01 is suitable for use in dry, interior locations only. Avoid placing the WWA-01 close to a metal frame, or other
metal enclosures that may affect RF range. Also, avoid areas with rapid temperature swings.
Recommended WWA-01 uses: Under sink, Next to Sump pumps, Water Heaters, Laundry Room, Bathroom Floor,
Storage Area, Garage, Utility Sink, Vacation/Recreation homes, Boats etc.
Low Battery
The WWA-01 will broadcast an alert on the Z-Wave at regular intervals when it detects a low battery condition. In
addition, it will periodically sound an audible chirp. If the chirp is heard and the battery is thought to still be good, remove
and reinsert it and wait a couple of hours. If the chirp is still heard, the battery is low or defective and should be replaced.
