Prepare your Water Sensor The first step is to activate your Water Sensor 1. Take out the back shell of Water Sensor Choosing a position for the Water Sensor The following tips will help you select a position that will optimise the performance of your Water Sensor. Your water sensor is not waterproof or weatherproof, as such you should not place it in any area where it is likely to get wet. This includes not placing it directly underneath objects which you may be monitoring for leaks, such as water heaters. If you cant find the metal to affixing your water probe. Use the Iron plates . Nonmetallic Water Sensor View the expanded manual:

Remove the clear battery insulator by pulling it away from the Water Sensor Keep Dry For an optimal wireless signal, position your Water Sensor 1 meter off of the ground. Additionally, for an optimal wireless signal mount your Water Sensor with its longest side vertical. Will have an optimal wireless signal when affixed 1 meter or above your home's floor. Placed within 30 meters of another Z-Wave device that is either a gateway or not powered by batteries. Nonmetallic Iron plates Probe 1. installation your Water Sensor Your water sensors mounting plate can be affixed using screws or double-sided tape. You needn't worry about which end is the top or the bottom, they can be mounted with either end at the top
- they're bidirectional. If using screws, attach your water sensors mounting plate using the screws. If either surface is soft, plasterboard for instance, use the screw anchors. Aeotec by Aeon Labs Water Sensor Your Z-Wave system is only as good as it is smart. Aeotec by Aeon Labs Water Sensor brings it a new level of intelligence, one that is suited to both safety and convenience. Capable of detecting either the presence or absence of water to as little as 3% of an inch, each sensor is crafted into the smallest and most subtle of packages. Familiarise yourself with your sensor Water Sensor Screw Double-Sided Mounting Tape AAA Battery Iron plate Probe Package Contents:
Water Sensor 1 Iron Plate 1 Screw 2 AAA Battery 2 Double-Sided Mounting Tape 2 Quick Start Your Aeotec by Aeon Labs Water Sensor is capable of detecting the presence or absence of water. Choosing the scenario you want will help you determine where best to place your sensor. The most common scenario is the detection of leaking water from the likes of a hot water system or an air conditioner. In other instances you may wish to detect when the level of water in a tank has decreased passed a certain level. 3. With the battery insulator removed, your Water Sensor powered and activated. It is now time prepare to install your Water Sensor. Choosing a position for the Water probe The following tips will help you select a position that will optimise the performance of your water probe. If detecting the presence of water, your probes two prongs should sit flat against the surface where water will collect. Water If detecting the absence of water, your probes two prongs should sit at the minimum water level you want. If detecting the absence of water, its fine to submerge your probe in water - its waterproof. Water If mounting your water sensor indoors in an area where itself won't be exposed to condensation or moisture in the air, it is possible to use mounting tape to affix it to a wall. To begin, wipe the respective surface clean of any oil or dust. When the surface has dried, peel one side of the tape back and attach it to the corresponding section on the rear of main mounting plate. If outdoors should be protected from the elements - such as inside a recess or within a waterproof box Installation your Water Probe Once you've selected the best position for both parts of your Water Sensor to be installed, it's time to affix both to their respective surfaces. 1. Affixing your water probes mounting plate There is a magnet inside the water probe, if youve sure the position where your water probe should install, only adsorption your water probe up to a metal. Metal 3 Adding your Water Sensor to Z-Wave network With your mounting plates prepared to hold each component of your sensor, its time to add it to your Z-Wave network. 1. 2. 3. On the rear of your water sensor, remove the spacing tab to connect the batteries. Your water sensors LED will blink for 3 seconds. Press the Z-Wave button on your primary Z-Wave controller /
gateway. If youre unsure of how to do this, refer to its user manual. Press the Z-Wave button on your water sensor. If it has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its LED will illuminate for 10 minutes. During this period your primary Z-
Wave controller / gateway is able to configure your sensor. Your sensor will then automatically exit setup mode at the end of 10 minutes. 4. Wake Up Z-Wave 5. If you are using a Minimote 1. 2. 3. 4. Take your Minimote to your sensor. Press Remove button on your Minimote. Press the Z-Wave button on your sensor. If your sensor has been successfully removed from your network, its LED will blink for 3 seconds. If the removal was unsuccessful the light will be solid for 3 seconds after pressing your sensor's Inclusion button. Press any button on your Minimote to take it out of removal mode. Associate your Water Sensor with other Z-Wave devices It's possible to use your Aeotec by Aeon Labss Water Sensor to talk to more than just your gateway. As an example, you can create an automation activity that would activate a siren when water is detected. Your Water Sensor is capable of directly controlling 5 other Z-Wave devices within your Z-Wave network. The following association steps are performed automatically if your primary Z-Wave controller / gateway is either a SUC (Static Update Controller) or a SIS (SUC ID Server). When this is the case, you'll need to create automation activities directly through your controller / gateway - refer to its user manual for further information. 1.Set gateway sent Association set command, and Assign route command to Water Sensor. Then press and hold Z-Wave button of Water Sensor 3 seconds. Water Sensor will sent wake up notification to gateway. After gateway received the wake up notification, Gateway will sent preset commands to Water Sensor. 2. 3. 4 Remove your Water Sensor from Z-Wave network Your sensor can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You'll need to use the main controller in your Z-
Wave network to do this. The following instructions tell you how to do this using Aeotec by Aeon Labss Z-Stick and Minimote controllers. If you are using other products as your main Z-Wave controller, please refer to the part of their respective manuals that tells you how remove devices from your network. If you are using a Z-Stick 1. If your Z-Stick is plugged into a gateway or a computer, unplug it. Take your Z-Stick to your sensor. Press the Z-Wave Button on your Z-Stick and hold for 3 seconds. Press the Z-Wave button on your sensor. If your sensor has been successfully removed from your network, its LED will blink for 3 seconds. If the removal was unsuccessful the light will be solid for 3 seconds after pressing your sensor's Inclusion button. Press the Z-Wave Button on the Z-Stick again to take it out of removal mode. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 4 5 6 7 Send wake up notification In order to send your sensor new configuration commands from your Z-Wave controller or gateway, it'll need to be woken up. 1. 2. 3. Remove your Water Sensor from its mounting plate by pressing down on the latch button and pulling it away from its mounting plate. Press the Wake-up Button 3 times quickly on the rear of your sensor. Your sensor will now remain awake for 10 minutes. When done, return your Water Sensor to its mounting plate. To do this align the plate's hitch with your sensor's hitch hole, and push the top of your sensor into the mounting plate until the two parts click firmly together. Reset all your sensors configurations Should you wish to reset all your sensor's configurations, you are able to reset it to its factory defaults. 1. Press and hold the Z-Wave button on the rear of your Water Sensor for 20 seconds. factory default Your Water Sensor will reset configuration. Its LED will blink for 3 seconds to let you know it was reset successfully. its to 2. Your water sensor's configurations will also be reset to factory defaults if you remove it from your Z-Wave network.
