FLD-550 PG2
PowerG Wireless Flood Detector
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The FLD-550 PG2 is a fully supervised two-way indoor, PowerG flood detector, used to detect the presence of water based fluids at
any desired location. The FLD-550 PG2 sends the parameters of the specific alarm to the control panel using PowerG two-way
communications protocol.
The FLD-550 PG2 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.
A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically. The control panel is thus informed, at regular intervals, of the unit’s active
participation in the system.
An LED lights whenever alarm or tamper events are reported. The LED does not light while a supervision message is being transmitted.
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. When the battery voltage is low, a “low battery” message is sent to the
receiver.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting
1. Attach the flood sensor near the floor.
2. Secure the flood sensor and its cable to the wall using the three
wire clamps. One clamp should be fastened immediately above
the flood sensor. The flood sensor should be installed only in a
vertical position, and facing downward. The remaining two
clamps can be used as required (see Figures 1 and 2).
Note: To provide better protection against rats, it is
recommended that the flood sensor cable be placed inside a
metal/plastic pipe.
3. Attach the flood detector to the wall. The flood detector should
be placed as high up as possible on the wall to improve
communication and to prevent the flood detector itself from
coming into contact with water in the event of flooding.
4. Insert a flat-edged screwdriver into the slot and push upward to
remove cover.
5. Remove the screw and separate the cover from the base.
6. Remove the PCB board.
7. Mark and drill 2 holes in the mounting surface and fasten the
base with 2 countersunk screws.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of used battery according to manufacturer's instructions.
Note: 868 MHz device is illustrated in the above example. The
same mounting procedure should be performed for 433 MHz and
915 MHz devices.

2.2. Enrollment
Refer to the PowerMaster panel's Installer's Guide and follow the procedure under the "02:ZONES/DEVICES" option of the Installer
Menu. A general description of the procedure is provided in the following flow chart.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Notes:
1. If the detector is already enrolled, you can configure the detector location parameter and assign partitions via the “Modify Devices”
option – see Step 2.
2. PARTITIONS will appear only if PARTITIONING was previously enabled in a panel that supports the Partitioning feature (for further
details, see "Partitioning" in the PowerMaster Installer Guide).
3. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST
Before testing, separate the base from the cover (see Figure 2).
A. Verify that the FLD-550 transmits (the LED lights briefly) and that a tamper message was received by the panel.
B. When you are satisfied that tamper alerts are transmitted properly, put the cover on to return the tamper switch to its normal
(undisturbed) position and then secure the front cover to the base with the screw.
C. Clean the sensor thoroughly with a rag, removing any oil and dirt.
D. Bring the flood sensor into contact with water. Wait a few seconds and verify that the transmitter LED lights, indicating that
transmission is in progress. It is recommended to perform this test every month.
E. After 2 seconds the LED blinks 3 times.
The following table indicates received signal strength indication.
LED response Reception
Green LED blinks Strong
Orange LED blinks Good
Red LED blinks Poor
No blinks No communication
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal
from the device, re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received.
F. Dry the flood sensor using either blotting paper or a rag, thus restoring it to the undisturbed state, and then observe the LED.
Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer's Guide.
4. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to low transmitting power and limited
range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities), there are some limitations to be considered:
A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the digital code used.
B. A receiver responds only to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless devices should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults.
