Product Introduction

The water sensor is intelligent security equipment that can transmit the Z-Wave network and radio waves. In the Z-Wave network communication, the water sensor can be connected to any Z-Wave controller.
The water sensor can send messages to the Z-Wave controller and realize association with other devices.
In different countries or areas, the radio frequency may be different.
In the Z-Wave network communication, the water sensor can send messages to the Z-Wave controller and realize association with other devices through the Z-Wave network. In the communication with the Z-Wave controller, the water sensor can only send messages to the Z-Wave controller, but cannot receive any messages. When the water sensor is triggered, the LED light switches on, and the buzzer will make a sound. At the same time, the water sensor will send messages to the Z-Wave controller and the Z-Wave controller can display the current status of the water sensor.
The water sensor is battery-powered, small, and easy to install.

Battery Usage
The battery life of the water sensor is approximately 2 years. The current battery level can be displayed in the Z-Wave controller.
NOTE: The water sensor is battery-powered. Please use batteries in the correct way to avoid explosion. Dispose of batteries properly. For handling batteries please refer to environmental laws.

Tips

1. Make sure the water sensor is in the Z-Wave controller network.
2. Do not install in a place near water vapor or smoke.
3. Do not install the water sensor main body and the probe in a place where water is soaked.
4. The sensor probe should be placed on a surface where water leakage is most likely.
5. A direct association is possible between the water sensor and other Z-Wave network devices if they have association functionality. The Z-Wave controller does not take part in such communication. Using this mechanism, the water sensor can communicate with other devices even when the controller is damaged.

The status of the LED

add/remove the water sensor to/from a Z-Wave network or to send node info
Blink 5 times (0.3s Interval)| Power on and already added in a Z-Wave network
Blink 1 time| After pressing the code button for a long time, when resetting to default settings
Blink with beep On/Off| Water leakage detected

Add the water sensor to a Z-Wave network
The water sensor can be included in a Z-Wave network by using the code button.

1. Open the water sensor and insert the battery. Please do not operate the code button within the first 20 s after inserting the battery. Make sure the device is located within the direct range of the Z-Wave controller.
2. Set the controller into the Add (inclusion) mode (refer to the controller user manual).
3. Press the code button of the water sensor quickly 3 times and it will enter the Add (inclusion) mode. The LED flashes red 5 times on and off alternately.
4. The water sensor will be detected and included in the Z-Wave network.
5. Wait for the controller to configure the water sensor.

Remove the water sensor from the Z-Wave Network
The water sensor can be removed from the Z-Wave network by using the code button.

1. Open the water sensor and make sure it is powered on. Make sure the device is located within the direct range of the Z-Wave controller.
2. Set the controller into the Remove (exclusion) mode (refer to the controller user manual).
3. Press the code button of the water sensor quickly 3 times and it will enter the Remove (exclusion) mode. The LED flashes red 5 times on and off alternately.
4. Wait for the controller to remove (delete) the water sensor.

Restore the water sensor to factory default settings
The reset procedure will delete all information from the Z-Wave network and on the Z-Wave controller and restore the water sensor to factory default settings.

1. Open the water sensor and make sure it is powered on.
2. Make sure the device is located within the direct range of the controller.
3.  Press and hold the code button for 10-15 s. The LED flashes red 5 times on and off alternately.
4. Release the button.

NOTE: During the process of resetting please make sure the water sensor is powered all the time. Wake up the water sensor manually
The user can shortly press the code button once to wake up the sensor and to send a wake-up notification to the controller. The LED will flash one time.

Associations
(Association Command Class Version 2)
This sensor supports 4 association groups. Each group supports max 5 associated nodes. This has the effect that when the sensor is triggered, all devices associated with it will
receive the relevant reports.
Through association, the water sensor can control other Z-Wave devices, e.g. a siren alarm, a wall plug, a lamp, etc.
GROUP 1 is a lifeline service assigned to sensor status (water leakage detection).
It enables the sensor to send reports and readings to the Z-Wave controller whenever the sensor is triggered.
This group supports: |
– NOTIFICATION_REPORT_V4
– BATTERY_REPORT
– SENSOR_BINARY_REPORT_V2
– DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION

GROUP 2 allows for sending control commands to associated devices such as relay modules, lighting, etc.
This association group is configured through the advanced parameter no. 7. If the sensor clears the notification event then a Basic Set with 0x00 is sent to the nodes associated in Group 2 in order to inform these devices. This group supports:
– BASIC_SET
GROUP 3 allows for sending a notification to associated devices in this group. This group supports:
– NOTIFICATION_REPORT_V4 GROUP 4 allows for sending a notification to associated devices in this group. This group supports:
– SENSOR_BINARY_REPORT_V2

Advanced Configuration

1. Configure Alarm Duration Time
   This parameter can be used to adjust the time for how long the beep and LED are turned on when water leakage is detected. If this parameter is set to ‘0’, the beep and LED will be turned on until the water leakage is not detected anymore. Refer to figure 1. Parameter Number| Size| Available settings| Default
   ---|---|---|---
   1| 1| 0 ~ 255min| 120min

2. Configure Alarm Interval (Beep Off Interval)
   This parameter defines the beep-off interval time when water leakage is detected. Refer to figure 1. Parameter Number| Size| Available settings| Default
   ---|---|---|---
   2| 1| 1 ~ 255min| 1min

3. Configure First Alarm On-Time Duration (First Beep On)
   This parameter defines the beep for the duration of the first time when water leakage is detected. Refer to figure 1. Parameter Number| Size| Available settings| Default
   ---|---|---|---
   3| 1| 10 ~ 255s| The 60s

4. Configure Alarm on Time Duration (Beep On Time)
   This parameter defines the beep duration after the first beep when water leakage is detected. Refer to figure 1. Parameter Number| Size| Available settings| Default
   ---|---|---|---
   4| 1| 5 ~ 255s| 5s

5. Configure Alarm Enable/Disable
   This parameter defines whether the beep is enabled or disabled. ‘0’ indicates the beep-on is disabled, but the LED will be turned on when water leakage is detected. ‘1’ indicates the beep is enabled, and the beep and the LED will be turned on when water leakage is detected.

6. Configure Water Leakage Detection Enable/Disable
   This parameter defines the function if water leakage detection is enabled or disabled. ‘0’ indicates that water leakage detection is disabled, and ‘1’ indicates that water leakage detection is enabled.

7. Basic Set Level
   The Basic Set Command will be sent when the water sensor detects a leakage. The receiver will take into consideration; for instance, if a lamp module receives the Basic Set Command if it shall be turned on or off.

Notification Command Class
Once the sensor detects a water leakage, it will send a NOTIFICATION_REPORT and a SENSOR_BINARY_REPORT to the nodes of the lifeline to inform them there is a water leakage event.
When the water leakage is not detected anymore, the NOTIFICATION_REPORT and the SENSOR_BINARY_REPORT will be sent again to the nodes in the lifeline.
For compatibility with the Z-Wave Series 300 the Binary Sensor Command Class is also realized.

Wakeup Command Class
The water sensor stays in a sleep state for the majority of the time in order to conserve the battery.
The minimum wakeup interval is 300 s (5 minutes)
The maximum wakeup interval is 16’777’200 s (about 194 days)
Allowed min. step among each wakeup interval is 60 seconds, such as 360 s, 420 s, 480 s …
NOTE: The default value is 12 hours. The larger the value is, the greater the battery life is.

Battery Check Command
Users can enquire about the battery status of the water sensor by sending the BATTERY_GET command. Once the water sensor receives the command, it will return the BATTERY_REPORT command.
The water sensor will send BATTERY_LEVEL =  0xFF command to the Z-Wave controller to inform that it needs a new battery; otherwise, the BATTERY_LEVEL value range is 0% to 100%.
