What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two- way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes
( meshed network ) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the
transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

Product Description

Flood-Control is a universal, Z-Wave Plus compatible flood and temperature sensor. The device can be powered using the battery, 12/24V DC power supply, or both. A flood alarm is sent to the Z-Wave network devices or additionally to any external system through opening an NC contact using the external power supply.The device has built in temperature sensor that allows to monitor ambient temperature. Flood-Control is designed to be placed on the floor or mounted on a wall (in this case Flood-Control probes should be extended using addition wire). The device has a built-in visual LED indicator and an acoustic alarm.In addition, the sensor is equipped with a tilt sensor reporting tilt or movement to the main controller e.g. when someone has taken the Sensor from its original location. Flood-Control is sink-proof, which means it drifts on the water surface and keeps on sending alarm signal in case of substantial inundation of water.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Association Groups:

Group NumberMaximum NodesDescription

1| 1| Lifeline reports the device status and allowsfor assigning single device only (main controller by default).
---|---|---
2| 5| Flood Control devices in this group willbe switched on or off when flood status changes (done via BASIC SETcommand frames).
3| 5| Flood Alarm is assigned to the devicestatus – devices in this group will receive notification about flood detectionor cancellation. Useful for devices that can trigger alarms.
4| 5| Tamper Alarm is assigned to the TMPbutton and tilt sensor – devices in this group will receive a notificationwhen the sensor is moved or the cover is taken off (which normallyholds the button). Useful for devices that can trigger alarms. Functionalitycan be altered by parameter 74.

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values too.

Parameter 1: Alarm cancellation delay

Determines time period (in seconds) by which a Flood-Control will retain the flood state after the flooding itself has ceased. The sensor will keep on reporting flooding to the main controller. This parameter setting does not affect acoustic and visual alarms, which turn off immediately after flooding ceases.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 10: High temperature alarm indicator colour

Parameter stores RGB colour value (see Table A3 for details).
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 16711680

SettingDescription

Parameter 11: Temperature indication using LED visual indicator

Parameter determines visual indicators operation. Setting to 0 turns the temperature LED indication off, saving battery life.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 2

SettingDescription

Parameter 12: Temperature measurement compensation

Parameter stores a temperature value to be added to or deducted from the current temperature measured by internal temperature sensor in order to compensate the difference between air temperature and temperature at the floor level.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 13: Alarm frame sent to 1st and 4th Association Group

activation (MOVEMENT_TAMPER / BUTTON_TAMPER)

The device is able to report tamper alarms resulting from sensors tilt/movement or TMP button state change (e.g. taking off the top cover).
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 2

SettingDescription

Parameter 14: Alarms signalization duration

The device is capable of automatically turning off alarm signalization after a certain amount of time. Long lasting alarm may reduce battery life, when constantly signalized. The parameter determines time after which alarm will become quiet – still active but the device will go into battery saving mode. Visual or acoustic alarm will be reactivated after time specified in the parameter 76. When alarm status ceases, alarm will be turned off immediately.
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 15: Alarm signalization reactivation period

Parameter determines a time period after which an alarm will be turned back on (in case it was turned off by parameter 75 setting). It will also resend commands to 2nd and 3rd association groups as if the alarm was detected again.
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 16: Flood sensor functionality turned off

Allows to turn off the internal flood sensor. Tamper and built in temperature sensor will remain active.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 17: Associations in Z-Wave network security mode

This parameter defines how commands are sent in specified association groups: as secure or non-secure. Parameter is active only in Z-Wave network security mode. It does not apply to 1st Lifeline group.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 7

SettingDescription

Parameter 2: Acoustic and visual signals On / Off in case of flooding

The parameter allows for the deactivation of visual and acoustic alarms. The parameter allows for increasing battery life. Setting changes will not affect the sensors communication with the main controller – the device will still send commands to association groups, alarms, and reports.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 3

SettingDescription

Parameter 3: Requested dimming level / roller blind opening level when

sending turn on / open command to 2nd associationgroup devices

Determines the requested on level to be sent to devices from 2nd association group upon flood event.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 255

SettingDescription

1 – 255| Requested dimming level / roller blind opening level when sending turn on / open command to 2nd associationgroup devices
---|---

Parameter 4: Deactivate turning off devices in 2nd association group &

alarm cancellation in 3rd group

This setting decides whether device turn off commands and alarm cancellation notifications will be sent to devices in 2nd and 3rd association groups (respectively)Setting the parameters value to 0 disables sending these two commands to associated devices. This means that these devices WILL NOT be informed when the flooding has ceased. It is still possible to cancel alarms in 3rd association group by choosing second (green) menu position (see section 8.2 – Visual indications)
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

SettingDescription

0 – 1| Deactivate turning off devices in 2nd association group & alarm cancellation in 3rd group
---|---

Parameter 5: Temperature measurement interval

Time interval (in seconds) between consecutive measurements of battery level and temperature (done by built-in temperature sensor).If the temperature differs from previously reported by a value determined in parameter 12, it will be reported to the Z-Wave controller. In battery mode more significant battery level changes will be reported. Short time intervals mean more frequent communication, which results in shortened battery life.After consecutive FAILED and SUCCESSFUL communication attempts, the Sensor will go to standby mode.
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 300

SettingDescription

Parameter 6: Temperature measurement hysteresis

Determines a minimum temperature change value (insensitivity level), resulting in a temperature report being sent to the main controller, according to the parameter 10 settings.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 50

SettingDescription

Parameter 7: Low temperature alarm threshold

The parameter stores a temperature value, below which visual indicator blinks with a colour determined by a parameter 61 settings. By default the visual indicator blinks blue.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 1500

SettingDescription

Parameter 8: High temperature alarm threshold

The parameter stores a temperature value, above which visual indicator blinks with a colour determined by the parameter 62 settings. By default the visual indicator blinks red.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 3500

SettingDescription

Parameter 9: Low temperature alarm indicator colour

Parameter stores RGB colour value (see Table A3 for details).
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 255
