OPERATION

The WST-622 sensor is designed to detect water across the gold probes and will alert immediately when present. The Freeze sensor will trigger when the temperature is below 41°F (5°C) and will send a restoral at 45°F (7°C).

ENROLLING

To enroll the sensor, set your panel into sensor learn mode. Refer to your specific alarm panel instruction manual for details on these menus.

1. On the WST-622 locate the pry points on opposite edges of the sensor. Carefully use a plastic pry tool or standard slot head screwdriver to remove the top cover. (Tools not included)

2. Insert the CR2450 battery with the (+) symbol facing up, if not already installed.

3. To learn in as a flood sensor, press and hold the Learn Button (SW1) for 1 – 2 seconds, then release. A single short on/off blink at 1 second confirms flood learn is initiated. The LED will remain solid ON during the learn transmission. The Flood sensor function enrolls as Loop 1 of the Flood S/N. Repeat as required.

4. To learn in as a freeze sensor, press and hold the Learn Button (SW1) for 2 – 3 seconds, then release. A single short on/off blink at 1 second plus a double on/off blink at 2 seconds confirms freeze learn is initiated. The LED will remain solid ON during the learn transmission. The Freeze sensor function enrolls as Loop 1 of the Freeze S/N. Repeat as required.

5. After successful enrollment, verify the gasket in the top cover is properly seated, then snap the top cover onto the bottom cover aligning the flat sides. Inspect the seam all the way around the edge of the device to ensure it is completely sealed.

Note: Alternately, the 7 digit serial numbers printed on the back of each unit can be manually entered into the panel. For 2GIG systems the equipment code is “0637”

Testing the Unit
After successful enrollment, a test transmission sending current states can be initiated by pressing and immediately releasing the Learn Button (SW1), with the top cover open. The LED will remain solid ON during the button-initiated test transmission. With the unit fully assembled and sealed, placing wet fingers on any two probes will trigger a flood transmission. Note the LED will not illuminate for a wet flood test and remains OFF during all normal operation.

PLACEMENT

Place the flood detector anywhere that you wish to detect a flood or freezing temperature, such as under a sink, in or near a hot water heater, a basement or behind a washing machine. As a best practice send a test transmission from the desired placement location to ensure the panel can receive it.

USING OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

The optional accessories enhance the Flood and Freeze Sensor installation by allowing additional installation locations, mounting on vertical surfaces such as walls or cabinet interiors with the External Sensor Adapter / Mounting Bracket and included screws. The Water Detection Rope can be routed down and across the floor covering a larger detection area. The length of the Water Detection Rope jacket is the detection area.

Setup

1. Be sure to complete all enrollment steps before installing optional accessories.
2. Plug the Water Detection Rope into the socket located on the end of the External Sensor Adapter / Mounting Bracket.
3. Wrap the Water Detection Rope around the strain relief / retension posts on the back of the External Sensor Adapter / Mounting Bracket to prevent the rope from being inadvertantly unplugged.
4. Use screws to secure the External Sensor Adapter / Mounting Bracket, if desired.
5. Align the flat sides of the Flood and Freeze Sensor with the sides of the External Sensor Adapter / Mounting Bracket. Then snap the sensor into the bracket esuring the sensor is fully seated and the three retention tabs are fully engaged.
6. Route the length of the Water Detection Rope across the horizontal surface(s) to be monitored for water.

Notes:

• Up to ten (10) Water Detection Rope sensors can be chained together to further extend the detection area(s).
• Once water detection occurs using the Water Detection Rope, it may take several hours for the rope to sufficiently dry and a restore signal to be sent. Adequate ventilation will speed the drying process.
• Improper connections between the WST-622 Flood and Freeze Sensor, the External Sensor Adapter / Mounting Bracket, and the Water Detection Rope can prevent flood detection, or cause false flood restore. Always verify connections are secure.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

When the battery is low a signal will be sent to the control panel. To replace the battery:

1. On the WST-622 locate the pry points on opposite edges of the sensor, carefully use a plastic pry tool or standard slot head screwdriver to remove the top cover. (Tools not included)
2. Carefully remove the old battery.
3. Insert the new CR2450 battery with the (+) symbol facing up.
4. Verify the gasket in the top cover is properly seated, then snap the top cover onto the bottom cover, aligning the flat sides. Inspect the seam all the way around the edge of the device to ensure it is completely sealed.
