Smart Flood/Freeze Sensor

Getting to know your new Z-Wave device

Z-Wave certified for simple pairing and integrated home automation
Transmits notifications to connected controller when water leaks or changes in area temperature are detected
Dual-detection options — contacts on the sensor base or separate plug-in detection probe for hard-to-reach locations
Red LED indicates programming changes and status
Alarm for audible notification of leaks
Supports association with up to five devices
Easy auto pairing and button-press settings
Automatic tamper switch with alarm
Regular temperature and battery level reports

NOTE : The smart flood/freeze sensor has two power options – battery (included) or USB (adapter and cable sold separately).
When powered by batteries, the signal repeater function is disabled to conserve battery life. When powered by USB, the signal repeater function is active and extends your Z-Wave network.
NOTE : The signal repeater function is determined when product is added to the network. If the power option is changed, the sensor must be removed, manually reset and added to the network under the new power option. If manual reset is not performed, the signal repeater function will not be updated. See section 4 for manual reset method.

Installation

The smart flood/freeze sensor is designed for indoor use only. Place the sensor (typically in battery power mode) near the area of potential leaks or water source – sinks, commodes, dishwashers, washing machines, hot-water tanks, etc. The sensor can be placed on the floor, cabinet base, etc. to allow the three pins on the bottom to contact with the water leak. The contact pins are recessed so they do not contact the surface (see figure 1).

The sensor can be safely place onto a metal surface without activating the sensor. Mounting tape (included) can be applied to the bottom of the sensor for secure placement (see figure 2).

For hard-to-reach locations, use the mounting tape to attach the sensor to the wall. Open the sensor port to insert the detachable probe (see figure 3).

Secure with the pins pointed down using smaller mounting tape (included) (see figure 4).

The contact pins are slightly recessed so they do not contact the surface (see figure 5).

For continuous power, connect an optional micro USB cable to the power port and plug into any 5V USB power supply (see figure 6). Optional USB cable and power supply available at ezzwave.com.

Adding your sensor in a Z-Wave network

The flood/freeze sensor can be added to the Z-Wave network automatically or manually, from battery or micro USB power. For best results, add the sensor to the network near the intended location (same room or area) to ensure best communication routes are established.

SmartStart

This sensor is SmartStart enabled. If your controller supports SmartStart inclusion, this sensor can be added into a Z Wave network by following the instructions for your controller or hub and scanning the Z-Wave QR Code under the battery door or on the package when instructed. No further action is required, and the sensor will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being powered up while in range of Z-Wave network.

Manual mode
Battery power/micro USB power

Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave certified controller to add the sensor in the Z-Wave network.
Once the controller is ready to add your device, remove the top cover of the sensor (see figure 7).
Ensure battery is installed with the correct polarity and the battery tab has been removed (see figure 8)

or ensure micro USB is plugged into USB port (see figure 9).
Press and release the programming button (see figure 10).

This starts the manual add process. The red LED flashes quickly as it searches for a network. After 25 seconds, the LED will stop flashing if the sensor is not added to the network. Press the programming button to manually start the add process. If it times out, the LED will stop flashing. Press and release the programming button again.
The controller’s app will indicate if it discovers the sensor. If prompted by the controller to enter the S2 security code, refer to the QR code/security number on the back of the box or the QR code label on the product (see below).
Enter the 5-digit code.
The red LED will activate for three seconds to confirm the sensor has been added in the network.
Secure the top cover into place.

Note : Your controller may need to be within 10ft. of the sensor to be added.
Using the controller, you have the ability to activate groups, scenes, schedules and interactive automations when the sensor detects a leak or temperature change.
Functions may vary depending on gateway or controller.

To remove the sensor from the Z-Wave network

Follow the instructions for your Z-Wave certified controller to remove the sensor from the Z-Wave network.
Once the controller is ready to remove your sensor, press and release the programming button one time on the sensor (see figure 10).
The red LED will blink five times to indicate it has been removed. Secure the top cover.

To return the sensor to factory defaults and remove sensor from Z-Wave network

Press the programming button 10 times within six seconds (interval between presses of the button cannot be longer than one second).
The red LED will activate for two seconds, followed by three quick flashes to confirm the sensor has been reset. Secure the top cover into place.
Note : This should only be used if your network’s primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

To replace battery

Remove the top cover (see figure 7).
Remove old battery and replace with new battery. When installing new battery, ensure proper polarity.
Secure top cover.

Z-WAVE INTEROPERABILITY
This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and applications. All non- battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC and Industry Canada license- exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
