Intended use
09/20 FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 5
3 Intended use
Please observe the instructions in these operating instructions as
well as the operating conditions and permissible data in
accordance with the data sheet so that the system functions
properly and remains operational for a long time. In case of non-
observance of these instructions as well as in case of unauthorized
interventions in the system, any liability on our part is void, as well
as the warranty on system and accessories!
An external water sensor can be connected directly to the
FlowTimer+ I/O port. In this case, however, no FlowTimer+ Hub or
other water sensor can be connected, as the connection is already
occupied.
The FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 contains additional parts for splitting
the FlowTimer+ I/O connection. Thus, a FlowTimer+ Hub and an
external water sensor, or several water sensors can be connected
in series.
If the water sensor detects conductive drinking water, it is
immediately shut off via the FlowTimer+.
An alarm reset can only be performed via the connected
FlowTimer+ or its supply voltage.
Any other use or use that goes beyond this is considered improper
use. Usetech GmbH is not liable for any damage resulting from this.
The risk is borne solely by the user.

Intended use
09/20 FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 6
3.1 Use not in accordance with the intended purpose
Unintended use in the sense of foreseeable misuse is considered
to be:
The supplied I/O splitter must not be used instead of a
FlowTimer+ Hub to connect FlowTimer+ devices to each other!
It can only be used within an I/O connection between
FlowTimer+ and FlowTimer+ Hub to connect water sensors!
The water sensor is only suitable for electrically conductive
drinking water.
The FlowTimer+ Protect is not supported directly, but only
indirectly via a group alarm via FlowTimer+ and FlowTimer+
Hub.
No telephones, ISDN, other devices or adapters may be
connected.

Installation

5 Installation
5.1 Mounting of the FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2
The water sensor can be screwed to a wall, among other things.
To prevent triggering by only superficial moisture, please
keep a small distance between the sensor and the
ground.
If possible, also keep a small distance between the
sensor and the wall to speed up the drainage of water at
the sensor after an alarm.
5.2 Splitter and cable placement
Route the splitter and all I/O cables higher than the water
sensor to protect the splitter and connectors from water
in the event of flooding.

Installation
09/20 FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 9
5.3 Electrical connection
The water sensor can be connected directly to the
FlowTimer+ I/O port. In this case, however, a FlowTimer+
Hub can no longer be connected, as the port is already
occupied.
When the I/O connector is inserted into the socket, this
must cause a clicking noise. If not, please check again
whether the plug is correctly engaged!
When disconnecting, please note to press the locking
lugs of the I/O connectors!
Please plug all parts together according to figure 4.1.
The I/O connector (4) is plugged into the FlowTimer+ port.
Plug the I/O connection cable from the FlowTimer+ Hub (see
FlowTimer+ HUB manual for more information) into the output
(5) of the splitter (2).

Installation

5.4 Cascading the set
If required, several water sensors can be used
simultaneously on one FlowTimer+! Then simply order
the FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 multiple times.
Please plug all parts together according to figure 4.1.
Plug the I/O connector (4) of the first set into the FlowTimer+
connector.
All further sets are then simply connected in series!
The I/O connector (4) of the second set is plugged into the
splitter output (5) of the first set and so on.
If needed, a FlowTimer+ Hub can also be connected last!
Simply plug the I/O connection cable from the FlowTimer+ Hub
(see FlowTimer+ Hub manual for more information) into the
output (5) of the last splitter (2).

Operation and function
09/20 FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 11
6 Operation and function
6.1 Operating states
6.1.1 Normal operation
No operation is necessary.
If the water sensor detects conductive drinking water, it is shut off
via the FlowTimer+.
6.1.2 Restarting the system
An alarm reset can only be performed via the connected
FlowTimer+ or its supply voltage.
The prerequisite for this is still that the water sensor is dry again
and the splitter did not get wet!

Troubleshooting, maintenance
09/20 FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 12
7 Troubleshooting, maintenance
If an alarm has occurred, first check all water sensor
locations for possible water accumulation.
If the connected FlowTimer+ locks up without a reason being
found, pull the I/O connector plug (4) of the FlowTimer+ Detect Set
V2 out of the I/O port of the FlowTimer+.
Now check your FlowTimer+ system according to the
instructions of the respective products.
7.1 Maintenance
Interval
Action
Monthly
Restart the entire system and check the
function (see "FlowTimer+ Set instructions").
Biennial
The FlowTimer+ Detect Set V2 should be
checked by an installer after two years at the
latest.

Packing, transport, storage
