General information about the FIBARO System

FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the Z-Wave protocol. All of available devices can be controlled through a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Z-Wave devices are not only receivers, but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave network’s range. It gives advantage over traditional wireless systems that require direct link between transmitter and receiver, as a result the construction of the building could affect network’s range negatively.

Every Z-Wave network has its unique identification number (home ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in the building without interfering. Transmission security of FIBARO System is comparable to wired systems.

Z-Wave technology is the leading solution in smart home automation. There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are mutually compatible, independently of manufacturer. It gives the system the ability to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit www.fibaro.com.

Description and features

FIBARO Flood Sensor is a universal, Z-Wave Plus compatible, flood and temperature sensor. The device can be powered using battery, 12/24V DC power supply or both. Flood alarm is sent to the Z-Wave network devices or additionally to any external system through opening a NC contact using the external power supply.

The device has built in temperature sensor that allows to monitor ambient temperature. FIBARO Flood Sensor is designed to be placed on the floor or mounted on a wall (in this case Flood Sensor probes should be extended using addition wire). The device has a built-in visual LED indicator and an acoustic alarm.

In addition, the sensor is equipped with a tilt sensor reporting tilt or movement to the main controller e.g. when someone has taken the Sensor from its original location.

FIBARO Flood Sensor is sink-proof, which means it drifts on the water surface and keeps on sending alarm signal in case of substantial inundation of water.

Main features of FIBARO Flood Sensor:

  • compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus Controller,
  • supports protected mode (Z-Wave network security mode) with AES128 encryption,
  • may be connected to any external system (potential free output terminal),
  • extremely easy installation – simply put on a surface prone to flooding,
  • may be installed anywhere – flood sensor’s contacts extended with a wire,
  • battery or VDC powered. When connected to an external 12/24V DC power source, the battery serves as an emergency power source,
  • theft protection – tilt or moving is reported to the Z-Wave network or external system’s controller,
  • two operating modes – flood/temperature sensor or just a temperature sensor,
  • alarm is signaled by sound, visual indicator (LED diode) and Z-Wave.

Connection to a constant power source:

Basic activation

CAUTION
Connect while observing wiring diagram shown in this manual only. Incorrect wiring may be dangerous or result in the device breakdown.

Remember to keep the device away from water or protect holes for wires from water to avoid destroying the device.

CAUTION
To prevent accidental pulling out make certain that cables are firmly attached to the wire connectors and screws are properly tightened.

Make sure to secure the power cord after connecting it to the terminal.

NOTE The TMP button has two functions: 1. Adding / Removing the device to / from the Z-Wave network,2. Tamper contact for 4th Association Group. When a sensor is added to the Z-Wave network, cover open alarm may be activated (according to parameter 74 settings).

Connection with external wired system:

Basic activation

NOTE ALARM NC and TAMP NC connectors may be used as end-of-line protective loop’s terminals.

Extending Flood Sensor contacts with a wired probe:

If you want the device to be mounted on a wall or in a distance from flooding source, sensor should be extended using an external probe (not included).

We recommend using extension probes or cables designed to detect water. Probes ends should be coated with non-corrosive metal. Connection wires should not be longer than 3m with 18-26AWG (0.14 – 0.82mm2 ). It applies also to VDC power source wires.

Basic activation

NOTE Mounting screws shown in a diagram are not included in the package. Choose a screw type depending on the building material it is being attached to.

NOTE The Sensor detects electrical conductivity between electrodes 1 and 3, 1 and 2 and electrodes connected to contacts (SENS1 and SENS2).

CAUTION Contacts SENS1 and SENS2 are dedicated to flood detection only. Do not connect external voltage!

Powering modes

There are two powering modes for the Flood Sensor. By default it is powered by a factory included battery. In addition it can work with a constant voltage, after connecting a 12/24V DC power supply to +12 and GND terminals (see „Diagrams and connection” on page 7). Powering mode configuration is carried out automatically, while the device is being added into the Z-Wave network.

When battery powered, the Flood Sensor communicates with the main Z-Wave controller periodically. Detected alarms are sent immediately, but the configuration parameters and associations settings will only be updated at specified wake up intervals or at manual wake up (single TMP button click).

When added to the network as a DC powered device, the device will update its associations and configurations immediately. It will also allow it to serve as a signal repeater in the Z-Wave network, which increases the chance of successful communication among devices in the same network.

CAUTION Using batteries other than specified may result in explosion. Dispose of properly, observing environmental protection rules.

Switching to constant voltage powering mode:

  1. Remove the sensor from the Z-Wave network.
  2. Connect constant voltage power source (12/24 VDC) to +12 and GND terminals in accordance with „Diagrams and connection” on page 7.
  3. Add the sensor to the Z-Wave network.

The Flood Sensor may operate without a battery if 12/24V power supply is connected. Installing a battery is recommended though, as it will serve as an emergency power source. When constant power fails, sensor will automatically shift to backup power mode. All reports, including flood and temperature, will be sent immediately, but it will not be possible to modify the configuration or association settings until constant power returns. In this mode Z-Wave signal repeating is not possible.

FIBARO Flood Sensor’s battery life is estimated at about 2 years at factory default settings. Current battery level is displayed in a Z-Wave controller interface. Red battery icon means the battery needs replacement. In order to avoid triggering a tamper alarm while replacing the battery, 4th association group’s associations must be deleted and configuration parameters should be restored back to default settings.

NOTE The Flood Sensor will automatically exit emergency mode once 12/24 VDC at +12 and GND terminals is detected

Operating the device

Controlling the Flood Sensor using the TMP button:

The Flood Sensor is equipped with the TMP button, which allows to perform the following actions:

  • 1x click: send Wake Up notification (in battery mode), confirm selected menu option (if menu is active)
  • 3x click: add/remove the device to/from a Z-Wave network
  • Holding: enter/navigate through menu
    Basic activation

Controlling the Flood Sensor with FIBARO Home Center controller:

The Flood Sensor has two built-in sensors – flood and temperature sensors. In the Home Center controller the Sensor will be shown as two devices.

Controlling the Flood Sensor Controlling the Flood
Sensor

Visual indications:

The Flood Sensor is equipped with a LED diode, signalling sensor’s operating modes and alarms. In addition the visual indicator may inform of the Z-Wave network range and the current temperature.

Visual indicator signalling modes:

  1. Flood alarm is signalled with alternating white and blue light.
  2. In battery powering mode, with parameter no. 63 set to 1, visual indicator will periodically show temperature readouts (depending on parameter 50, 51, 61 and 62 settings).
  3. In constant powering mode, the current temperature readouts will be continuously signalled with a colour depending on parameter 50, 51, 61 and 62 settings.
  4. Currently selected menu position is signalled with an illumination colour.

NOTE By default, flood sensor’s insensitivity is set to 1 second, which means flooding will be reported one second after it’s been detected. Tilt tamper is insensitive to little vibrations and turns. After its activation, insensitivity is turned off for 15 seconds. After that, each Sensor’s movement will trigger audible alarm, consisting of 3, brief acoustic signals.

Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:

  1. Press and hold the TMP button.
  2. Wait for the device to indicate desired position with a colour:
    • WHITE – confirmation of entering the menu
    • GREEN – cancel alarm for associated devices and the controller (only if the device is no longer flooded)
    • VIOLET – Z-Wave network’s range test
    • YELLOW – full reset
  3. Release the TMP button.
  4. Click the TMP button to confirm selection.

Waking up the Flood Sensor:

When in battery mode the Flood Sensor needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the controller, like parameters and associations.

To wake up the sensor manually, click the TMP button located inside the housing.

The device will also wake up and update its data upon startup when added in battery mode.

Resetting the Flood Sensor:

Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave  controller and user configuration will be deleted.

  1. Make sure the sensor is powered.
  2. Press and hold the TMP button.
  3. Wait for the visual LED indicator to glow yellow (4th position of the MENU).
  4. Release the TMP button.
  5. Click the TMP button once to confirm selection.
  6. After few seconds the device will restart with factory settings, which is signalled with the red visual indicator colour and an acoustic signal.

NOTE Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing described in “Adding/ removing the device” on page 6.

Notification report:

The device uses Notification Command Class to report different events.

Notification Type

|

Event

---|---
Water Alarm| Water Leakage detected, Unknown Location
Home Security| Tampering, Product covering removed

NOTE Command Class Basic value is related to the status of flood sensor (0x00 – no water, 0xFF – water detected).

Association

Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

NOTE Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in the direct range.

The Flood Sensor provides the association of four groups:

  • 1st Association Group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main  controller by default).
  • 2nd Association Group – “Flood Control” devices in this group will be switched on or off when flood status changes (done via BASIC SET command frames).
  • 3rd Association Group – “Flood Alarm” is assigned to the device status – devices in this group will receive notification about flood detection or cancellation. Useful for devices that can trigger alarms.
  • 4th Association Group – “Tamper Alarm” is assigned to the TMP button and tilt sensor – devices in this group will receive a notification when the sensor is moved or the cover is taken off (which normally holds the button). Useful for devices that can trigger alarms. Functionality can be altered by parameter 74.

The Flood Sensor in 2nd to 4th group allows to control up to 5 regular and 5 multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception of “LifeLine” that is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.

It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

To add an association (using the FIBARO Home Center controller):

  1. Go to device options by clicking the icon:
  2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
  3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
  4. Wait for the configuration process to end. Sending relevant information to devices added to associated groups may take even a few minutes.
  5. Wake up the device by clicking the TMP button to speed up the configuration process.

Z-Wave range test

The Flood Sensor has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester.

Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range:

  1. Press and hold the TMP button until the visual indicator glows violet.
  2. Release the TMP button.
  3. Click the TMP button once to confirm selection.
  4. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signalling modes described below).
  5. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the TMP button briefly.

CAUTION To make Z-Wave rang test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:

  • Visual indicator pulsing green – the Flood Sensor attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
    Visual indicator glowing green – the Flood Sensor communicates with the main controller directly.
    Visual indicator pulsing yellow – the Flood Sensor tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
    Visual indicator glowing yellow – the Flood Sensor communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.

  • Visual indicator pulsing violet – the Flood Sensor does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It’s not recommended to use the device at the range limit.

  • Visual indicator glowing red – the Flood Sensor is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

NOTE Communication mode of the Flood Sensor may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

Advanced parameters

The Flood Sensor allows to customize its operation to user’s needs.

The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.

In order to configure the Flood Sensor (using the FIBARO Home Center controller):

  1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
  2. Select the „Advanced” tab.

Wake up interval (battery mode)

  • Available settings: 0 or 60-86400 (in seconds, 1min – 24h)
  • Default setting: 21 600 (every 6 hours)

The Flood Sensor will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. After successful communication attempt, the sensor will update configuration parameters, associations and settings and then will go into standby mode.

After failed communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device will go into standby mode and retry to establish connection with the main controller after the next time interval. Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notification to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually by a single TMP button click. Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life
