Important safety information.

Please read this and other device guides carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations set forth by Aeotec Limited may be dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor, and/or reseller will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not following any instructions in this guide or in other materials.
Keep product and batteries away from open flames and extreme heat. Avoid direct sunlight or heat exposure. Always remove all batteries from products that are being stored and not used. Batteries may damage the appliance if they leak. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries. Improper battery use may damage the product.
Water Sensor 7 is intended for indoor use in dry locations only. Do not use in damp, moist, and/or wet locations.
It contains small parts; keep away from children.

Quick Start

Installation of Water Sensor 7 Pro.

• Open the cover by pressing the clip on the side and pulling the cover upwards
• Insert a fresh 1 * 1/2 AA battery, but pay attention to the polarity

Install your Water Sensor 7 Pro.

The Water Sensor 7 should be placed wherever you want to monitor for possible flooding or leaks. When placing the Water Sensor 7, consider the direction in which a flood or leak may flow and where it may occur. The contacts of the Water Sensor 7 probe will detect the liquid, so the probe must be placed so that any flood or leak will come into contact with it. When the probe contacts come into contact with a liquid, the Water Sensor 7 sends a leak warning to your Z-Wave Gateway. Make sure that both contacts are capable of detecting leaks or flooding.
Add your Water Sensor 7 to the Z-Wave network.

SmartStart Inclusion.
You can use this method of inclusion only if your Z-Wave gateway/controller/hub supports SmartStart.

1. Open up your Z-Wave gateway/controller/app.
2. Select SmartStart inclusion.
3. Scan the QR code located on the Water Sensor 7.
4. Within 10 minutes after powering your Water Sensor 7, it will automatically get included in your Z-Wave gateway/controller/hub.

Classic Inclusion

1. Set your Z-Wave controller into pairing mode.
2. Triple-click the tamper switch on Water Sensor 7 – this begins to blink five times
3. After completion of the inclusion, the LED will illuminate green for 3 seconds.
4. If you pair with S2 encryption/security, enter the first 5 digits of the DSK into your controller/gateway/hub interface when requested.
5. Close the cover

Water leak
Once installed, this sensor will report wet or dry via Notification Command Class when this device is wet or removed from the water.

•  Notification Report
• Type: Unknown (0x05)
•  Value: Wet (0x02) or Dry (0x00)

Tamper
A tamper alarm will be sent if the cover is removed.

• Notification Report
• Type: Tamper Removed (0x07)
• Value: 0x03

Temperature
This sensor will report occasionally on its own as an unsolicited Multilevel Sensor Report either by a timed interval (Parameter 18) or by the change in value (Parameter 16).
Multilevel Sensor Report

Humidity

This sensor will report occasionally on its own as an unsolicited Multilevel Sensor Report either by a timed interval (Parameter 18) or by the change in value (Parameter 17).

Multilevel Sensor Report

LED indicator.

the battery is inserted and the sensor is not in-network
Include/Exclude/Learn Mode| Illuminate green for 3 seconds when Inclusion / Exclusion /Configuration is successful. Illuminate red for 3 seconds when Inclusion / Exclusion / Configuration is unsuccessful (upon a timeout of 30 seconds). .
Local Reset| When the device is locally reset to Factory Default LED blinks red (1second duty cycle) for 5 seconds.
LowBatt| When the operation button is Short Pressed the LED blinks red three-time (1 sec duty cycle)
Tampering| If either Tamper Switch 1 or 2 is activated the device blinks redone time with ½ second duty cycle if within range of Controller. The device blinks red three times with ½ second duty cycle if out of range of Controller

Button Function.

Advanced Functions.

Communication test.

This utilizes the Power Level command class to determine the health between the Water Sensor 7 and your Z-Wave gateway. This will tell you if the Water Sensor 7 has a healthy connection to your system and is a great method of debugging connectivity issues.

1. Set Parameter #4 to value #1
2. Double click the Tamper Switch.
3. Result:
   • Green LED blinks once – success
   • Red LED blinks 3x times – failure

Firmware-Update over the Air.

This device is capable of receiving a new firmware ‘over the air’. The update function needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the update process, perform the
following action to confirm the firmware update:

1. Wake Up the device by removing the cover.
2. Hit the tamper switch once.

Send a wake-up notification.
In order to send your sensors new configuration commands from your Z-Wave controller or gateway, it will need to be woken up.

1. Wake Up the device by removing the cover.
2. Hit the tamper switch once.
   Note: Water Sensor 7 remains awake until the housing is closed again

Remove your Water Sensor 7 from Z-Wave network.

Your sensor can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll need to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller/gateway. To do this, please refer to the part of your gateways respective manual that tells you how to remove devices from your network.

1. Set your Z-Wave controller into unpair mode.
2. Triple-click the tamper switch on Water Sensor 7 within 1.5 seconds – this will cause the LED to blink five times.
3. After a successful exclusion, it will light up its LED for 2 seconds then deactivate.

Reset your Water Sensor 7.

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

To manually factory reset:

1.  Remove the cover of Water Sensor 7
2.  Press and hold the tamper switch for 5 seconds until the red LED blinks.
3. Release the tamper switch
4. Immediately press and hold the tamper switch for 5 seconds until the red LED blinks.

Association Groups
Group Association allows Water Sensor to directly communicate with other Z-Wave devices directly without the need for the Z-Wave Controller to act as an in-between controller. This using this function will help with communication efficiency and limit the amount of time it takes to control a device.

---|---|---
1| 5| Lifeline
2| 5| Control devices when water leakage is detected
