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

Strips Drip is an ultra-thin multi sensor and the thinnest water leakage and temperature sensor in the world, detecting the presence of water and reporting temperature levels. The thinness, up to 20 years battery life and multiple mounting possibilities makes it very versatile. Strips Drips will detect even a few drops of water and report within seconds. Strips Drip sends an alarm signal if it detects water. Its unique design allows it to be easily placed almost anywhere, generally in most places other sensors simply cant fit. With soaking pads integrated in the mounting plate even a few drops of water will be detected. The temperature reporting feature alerts occupants of potentially dangerous freezing or overheating conditions, keeping residents safe and informed. Strips Drip is a very reliable water leak sensor. The unique design and mounting plate make it easy to place nearly invisibly under sinks, in bathrooms, and under appliances to sense and report dangerous or potentially damaging conditions when connected to your Z-Wave smart home system. With a strong adhesive and mounting plate that can be screwed down, Strips Drip can be adhered securely to any surface to ensure permanent placement. Sensitivity is also adjustable and can be set per user preferences. 800 Series Drip can be used both indoors and out and the integrated custom battery gives Strips an expected lifetime of 10+ years. For you, this means no hassles needing to change or charge batteries in your Strips sensors for the lifetime of the product! Z-Wave Plus 800 series sensors bring a wealth of additional valued features such as longer range, low power consumption for extended battery life and SmartStart technology for instant enrolling. With SmartStart, device inclusion can be initiated automatically by simply removing the included magnet. The Z-Wave gateway then performs the inclusion process in the background, without the need for user interaction. 800 Series provides a direct range of 100 meters, an improvement of 60 meters over the 500 series and also includes the industrys best S2 security, providing Strips Drip with the ultimate combination of features to securely protect your home.

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.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

1. Take the magnet and move it to the rounded edge and wait for the blink, then move the magnet away.
2. Repeat this 3 times, but on the 3rd repetition, keep the magnet at the rounded edge for 10 seconds. A long LED signal indicates success.

Safety Warning for Batteries

The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used.
Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.

Installation

To mount the Strips, please follow the steps below:

Remove the protective tape from Strips Drip adhesive. Mount Strips Drip on the marked ““Strips Side”” of the mounting plate as illustrated above.

You can choose one of the three alternatives for mounting Strips:

a) Place Strips in the intended location.

b) Use the adhesive on the mounting plate to place it firmly in the right place. Please make sure the surface is clean, dry and at least +10″°C (+50″°F). Remove the protective tape from the mounting plate and place Strips Drip firmly on the surface.

c) Use screws to mount Strips on its location. Use the plate to mark the holes and use flat screw heads. Note that the adhesive is permanent and may damage your Strips or surface upon removal. If you need to remove Strips make sure to follow the necessary steps (Find the instructions on our website). Your Strips Drip is now mounted and added to your Z-Wave controller. It will detect temperature and moisture levels that may be used for alarms or controlling other devices. Strips Drip analyzes the moisture of the pads to indicate a leak. You should not remove Strips if a leak occurs. The sensor pods will dry after the water has been removed. You may use a cloth to dry carefully around the soaking pads for faster drying.

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.

Inclusion

1. Open your Z-Wave Controller application and start pairing mode.
2. Remove the magnet from Strips.
3. One long LED blink means Strips has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network.
If you have previously removed the magnets from Strips, or need to re-add the device, performing a manual wake up will join the device when the controller is in pairing mode

Exclusion

1. Take the magnet and move it to the rounded edge and wait for the blink, then move the magnet away.
2. Repeat this 3 times. A final short blink will confirm that the user- command was successful.

Product Usage

To test the Strips, please follow the steps below:
You may verify that your Z-Wave controller shows Strips Drip reporting correctly by holding it firmly according to the illustration above for >5 seconds.
Strips Drip will sense the moisture level and send a leakage alarm. After removing your hand, the water leakage alarm should disappear.

Strips Drip includes a mounting plate with built-in moisture detection pads. Strips Drip should be mounted on the mounting plate immediately after completing the inclusion process. This is in order to calibrate the leakage sensor correctly. Keep the moisture detection pads dry for the first 2 hours for a proper leakage sensor calibration.

Please note that
Poor network reliability will affect Strips Drip battery life. To make sure you have a good network, place Strips Drip at its intented location and perform a Wake Up (see Table A). If Strips Drip blinks 5 times, this indicates that Strips Drip failed to communicate with the controller. If it happens you may move the Z-Wave controller closer or add an extender between the controller and Strips Drip.

LED Notification:

1 Short Blink
-User feedback during commands
-Successfully sent report 

2 Short Blinks
– The indication when Strips is not added to a network

2 Long Blink
– A user command is successfully executed.

5 Short Blinks
– Error (e.g. communication with controller failed)

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:

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.
