zigbee Water Leak Detector Installation Guide

Water Leak Detector

Version 1.6
INSTALLATION MANUAL

Product description

The Water Leak Detector provides you with an early warning to help avoid or reduce potential damage from leaking roofs, pipes, and appliances, heavy rainfall,  overland flooding, or rapidly melting snow and ice. The Water Leak Detector can be connected with other Zigbee-based products.

Precautions

• Do not remove the product label as it contains important information.
• Do not paint the detector.

Getting started

1. Detach the cover of the detector by twisting it counterclockwise.

2. Insert one CR123A battery respecting the polarities.

3. Put the plastic disc back (it fits only one way) and close the casing by twisting it clockwise.

4. The Water Leak Detector will start searching (up to 15 minutes) for a Zigbee network to join.
5. Make sure that the Zigbee network is open for joining devices and will accept the Water Leak Detector.
6. While the Water Leak Detector is searching for a Zigbee network to join, the LED flashes red.

7. When the LED stops flashing, the Water Leak Detector has successfully joined the Zigbee network.

Placement

• Place the alarm indoors at a temperature between 0-50°C.
• The Flood Sensor should be placed on the ground, where water is suspected
• Reachable for battery testing and maintenance.

Testing

• Always test the working order of the Water Leak Detector after installation or battery change.
• When pressing the test button (closest to the battery), the alarm sound should be heard.

• A network alarm test can be performed by holding down the test button for at least 6.5 seconds (count 3 sounds).
• A test message will be sent over the Zigbee network.

Resetting

Resetting is needed if you want to connect your Water Leak Detector to another gateway or if you need to perform a factory reset to eliminate abnormal behavior.
STEPS FOR RESETTING
1. Detach the cover of the detector by twisting it counterclockwise.
2. Remove the plastic disc.
3. Press and hold the LED button.

4. While you are holding the button down, the LED first flashes once, then two times in a row, and finally numerous times in a row.

1. Release the button while the LED is flashing numerous times in a row.
2. After you release the button, the LED shows one long flash, and the reset is completed.

Modes

SEARCHING GATEWAY MODE
The red LED inside of the device is flashing every second (up to 15 minutes)
NORMAL MODE
The internal LED flashes red every 45 seconds.
ALARM MODE
The simultaneous flashing of the internal red LED and the sounding of the intermittent audible signal. When water is detected, the alarm will sound. Press the  “button/top” of the detector to acknowledge and stop the siren. The following 10 minutes, it will block alarms.

LOW BATTERY MODE
Simultaneous audible signals and LED flashes every 45 seconds means that the battery should be replaced.

Fault finding

• If the Water Leak Detector does not work when the LED reset button is pushed, the probable cause is a faulty battery. Replace the battery if it is worn out.
• In case of a bad or weak signal, change the location of the Water Leak Detector. Otherwise, relocate your gateway or strengthen the signal with a smart plug.
• If the search for a gateway has timed out, a short press on the LED button will restart it.

Battery replacement

CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERIES ARE REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF THE BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION : When removing cover for battery change – Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can harm electronic components inside
1. To replace the battery, detach the cover of the Water Leak Detector by twisting it counterclockwise.
2. Remove the plastic disc and replace the battery respecting the polarities. The Water Leak Detector uses a 1xCR123 battery.
3. Put the plastic disc back and close the casing by twisting it clockwise.

Disposal

Dispose the product and battery properly at the end of life. This is electronic waste that should be recycled.
