Dome DMWS1 Wireless Z-Wave Plus Leak Sensor User Manual

Dome DMWS1 Wireless Z-Wave Plus Leak Sensor

Preface

As this is the full User Manual, a working knowledge of Z-Wave automation terminology and concepts will be assumed. If you are a basic user, please visit www.domeha.com for instructions. This manual will provide in-depth technical information about the Leak Sensor, especially in regards to its compliance to the Z-Wave standard (such as compatible Command Classes, Association Group capabilities, special features, and other information) that will help you maximize the utility of this product in your system.

Description & Features

The Dome Leak Sensor is a battery powered Z-Wave Plus device that can detect wetness and send a notification when it does so. The Leak Sensor consists of two parts—the “SENSOR ASSEMBLY,” and the optional “REMOTE SENSOR PROBE.” They both detect water similarly, using three visible “LEAD.” The moment water touches any of the LEAD, the device will beep and send a notification with its moisture status to its Z-Wave controller. The REMOTE SENSOR PROBE is used to monitor confined or otherwise difficult to reach places.

Key Features

• Z-Wave Plus Certified
• Beeps and sends Z-Wave notification when water is detected
• Thin profile—can fit under appliances
• Remote Sensor Probe with 4’ extension for hard-to-reach areas
• Up to 150’ range
• Three-Year Battery Life
• Low Battery Indication
• Good to place near washing machines, dishwashers, sinks, toilets, or your indoor garden to alert you of any leaky accidents!

Inclusion & Exclusion

Inclusion
Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave Certified Conto to enter inclusion mode. When prompted by the controller:

1. The Leak Sensor should be within 10’ of your Z-Wave controller for the inclusion process. After successful pairing, the device can be brought to the desired location.
2. Remove the MAIN BODY COVER by twisting it apart counterclockwise.
3. Remove the BATTERY TAB.
4. Press the BUTTON quickly 3 times in a row.
   The INDICATOR LED will flash five times indicating inclusion.

Exclusion
Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave Certified Conto to enter exclusion mode. When prompted by the controller:

1. Remove the MAIN BODY COVER from the MAIN BODY BASE.
2. Press the CONNECT BUTTON quickly 3 times in a row.

The INDICATOR LED will flash five times indicating exclusion/disconnection.

Factory Reset & Misc. Functions

Resetting the Leak Sensor

If needed, the Leak Sensor can be reset locally by following these steps. Only do this when your Z-Wave controller is disconnected or otherwise unreachable. Beware that resetting your device will disconnect it from the system:

1. Remove the MAIN BODY COVER and confirm that your Leak Sensor is pow-ered up.
2. Press and hold the CONNECT BUTTON for at least 10 seconds then release. A flashing light indicates a successful factory reset.
3. The Leak Sensor’s memory will be erased to factory settings.

Waking Up The Leak Sensor
Because the Leak Sensor is a battery powered device, it wakes up on regular intervals to give battery and other status updates to the controller, as well as to accept configuration settings from the controller. This helps to extend the bat-tery life. The device can be forced to wake up to submit these reports or accept new settings immediately by simply pressing and holding the BUTTON for two seconds. The LED INDICATOR will flash once indicating a successful wake-up.

Physical Installation

The device should already be included in your Z-Wave system before continuing further. Study the Pre-Installation Checklist below for a broad overview of installation options and other notes to bear in mind

Pre-Installation Checklist

• The MAIN BODY CRADLE and REMOTE SENSOR PROBE are optional, to help monitor hard-to-reach areas—study Figures 3 and 4 to understand when, where, and why to use the REMOTE SENSOR PROBE
• The Leak Sensor detects moisture the moment water contacts the METAL FEET on the REMOTE SENSOR PROBE or the MAIN BODY BASE
• To monitor a pipe or appliance for leaks, place the Leak Sensor nearby on a flat surface where water is likely to accumulate during a leak
• If there is not enough space for the SENSOR ASSEMBLY to fit, use the optional REMOTE SENSOR PROBE
• When using the REMOTE SENSOR PROBE, the SENSOR ASSEMBLY will rest in the MAIN BODY CRADLE
• All three METAL FEET should contact the surface
• The REMOTE SENSOR PROBE can also hang mid-air to monitor rising water levels (for example in a sump pump pit)

Installation—Without the REMOTE SENSOR PROBE

1. Make sure the Leak Sensor is already included in your Z-Wave System and bring it to your desired installation location.
2. Confirm that your device can communicate with your Z-Wave Controller from the final installed location before proceeding.
3. Place the SENSOR ASSEMBLY on a flat surface near the device to be monitored (see “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 9 for proper placement in-structions.)
4. Double-check that your Z-Wave Controller can still communicate with the Leak Sensor, and pour a small amount of water on the floor to emulate a leak and confirm that the device beeps and reports the event to your Controller.

Installation—With the REMOTE SENSOR PROBE
Hard-to-reach areas can be monitored for leaks using the included REMOTE SENSOR PROBE (see “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 9.)

1. Mount the MAIN BODY CRADLE on a wall near the location you wish to monitor, making sure the REMOTE SENSOR PROBE’s cable will reach it comfortably. You may optionally rest the MAIN BODY CRADLE, unmounted, on a table, shelf, or another surface.
2. Snap the SENSOR ASSEMBLY into the MAIN BODY CRADLE, making sure the METAL FEET on the SENSOR ASSEMBLY line up with their mates on the MAIN BODY CRADLE.
3. Plug the REMOTE SENSOR PROBE into the MAIN BODY CRADLE and place the other end of the PROBE in the area to monitor, making sure the METAL FEET are flat on the surface.

Association V2 (0x85)

| Group 1

Group 1 is the “Lifeline” group, which can hold five members, typically including the main Z-Wave controller. The Leak Sensor sends this group a Notification Report and a Binary Sensor Report when water is detected or removed. It also sends this group a Battery Report in reponse to Bat- tery Get commands and a Locally Reset Notification upon local reset.

Group 2

The Leak Sensor sends a Basic Set command to Association Group 2 (or the Control Group) to directly trigger devices (like a light, chime, etc.) in response to a detected leak. Then, after the leak is no longer detected, a BASIC_SET(0x00) command is sent to reset the device (e.g. turn off the light.) The value of the Basic Set command (e.g. brightness of the lamp) is configured using configuration parameter 7.

Group 3

Group 3 supports up to 5 members and the Leak Sensor sends it a NO- TIFICATION_REPORT when water is detected or removed.

Troubleshooting

Q: Help! My Leak Sensor paired successfully, but my controller can’t see it anymore after I installed it!
A: First, make sure your battery didn’t come loose during set-up. Otherwise, the Z-Wave signal is probably weak in that area of your home. Remember that the 120′ – 150′ range doesn’t take into account walls, furniture, and other obstacles. To boost your Z-Wave network coverage, add a few non-battery powered Z-Wave devices between the controller and the furthest device, like the Dome On/Off Plug or Water Main Shut-Off. You can even purchase dedicated Z-Wave extenders from 3rd party manufacturers.

Q: There are so many words in this manual I don’t understand. How can I learn more about Z-Wave?
A: Remember you don’t have to understand everything in this manual to start automating your home. Our Quick-Start Guides have all you need to start using any device. For more thorough information about Z-Wave home automation, visit www.domeha.com/support.

Q: There is a leak, but the sensor isn’t beeping or sending signals!
A: Most likely the METAL FEET is not making full contact with the surface it is sitting on. Try placing it properly, and if you are still having problems, please visit www.domeha.com/support.

Q: I’ve tried multiple times, but I can’t include the Leak Sensor in my system.
A: Check your battery and make sure your device is getting power. Then, Factory Reset (see “Resetting the Leak Sensor” on page 8) and try going through the inclusion process again. If you are still having issues, please visit www.domeha.com/support

Q: All of a sudden, my Leak Sensor is offline.
A: Check your battery and make sure your device is getting power. If powered, make sure you still have Z-Wave network coverage. If you are still having issues, visit www.domeha.com/support.
