FIBARO flood sensor

Brief information

• Compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave+ Controller
• Supports protected mode (Z-Wave network security mode) with AES-128 encryption
• May be connected to any alarm 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, VDC power source, the battery serves as an emergency power source
• Theft protection - tilt is reported to the Z-Wave network or alarm system’s main controller
• Two operating modes - flood/temperature sensor or just a temperature sensor.
• Alarm is signalled by sound, visual indicator (LED diode) and Z-Wave

• Press and holding: enter the MENU mode (confirmed by visual indicator)

MENU mode & visual indicator

• Flood alarm is signalled: white and blue light
• In battery mode, periodically show temperature readouts via LED color
• In constant powering mode, continuously show temperature readouts via LED color
• Chosen MENU option is signalled with an illumination color

MENU mode LED color - White: enter the MENU confirmation - GREEN: cancel alarm for associated devices - VIOLET: z-wave network’s range test - YELLOW: sensor reset

Factory reset

Resetting the Flood Sensor: Reset procedure deletes EEPROM’s memory, including all information on the Z-Wave network and the main controller.

1. Make sure the Sensor is powered
2. Press and hold the TMP button
3. Wait 15-20 second for visual LED indicator to glow yellow (4th position the MENU)
4. Release the TMP button
5. Click the TMP button, once
6. After few seconds the device will be restarted, which is signalled with the red visual indicator colour and acoustic signal
