Ecolink Z-Wave Water Sensor FLF-ZWAVE5-ECO

The FLF-ZWAVE5-ECO is a battery-powered sensor that, within 2 seconds of detecting water, will transmit an alarm notifying the homeowner of a possible flood

↓

Features

Advanced Sensing

Within 2 seconds of detecting water, the unit will transmit an alarm notifying the homeowner of a possible flood along with freeze warning alert triggered at 41⁰ F (5⁰ C).

Tamper Detection

Notifies your system when someone tampers with the sensor.

Wireless Operation

Battery powered Z-Wave network operation enables installation flexibility.

Setup

Connected Home Setup

Setup Instructions

For best results, join the device to your system before installation.

Step 1:

Verify that the Z-wave Plus controller you are using is compatible with the Flood Freeze sensor.

Step 2:

Either mount or move the Flood Freeze sensor as close as possible to the location the sensor will remain.

Step 3:

Put your Z-wave Plus Controller into add (inclusion) mode.

Step 4:

The Flood Freeze enters add and remove (inclusion/exclusion) when powered on (when battery is added). If the LED starts blinking continuously, the sensor has no node ID and was not successfully added, so start step 3 over again. Make sure to remove the battery for 10 seconds if adding to a z-wave network fails.

Step 5:

If after 5 seconds the LED is not blinking, look on the Z-Wave controller’s interface for feedback on whether the sensor was added successfully. If you do not see any feedback that the sensor was added, follow directions for removing the sensor from a Z-Wave network, and then try adding the sensor again. If you are still having problems, you may need to add additional Z-Wave listening devices in-between the controller and the sensor.

  • The sensor can slide onto the mounting bracket in two different ways. To ensure that the sensor is securely fastened it is recommended that the tab on the bracket engage the back of the sensor.
  • Before attaching the bracket to a surface note how the bracket will need to be oriented in order for the tab to engage the sensor. The required orientation of the sensor determines the bracket orientation.
  • The sensor slides onto the bracket until the tab engages. Please be advised that adhesive tape may damage the surfaces to which it is attached.
Step 1:

Determine where to place the probe sensor. The probe should be located where water is most likely to pool if a leak occurs. The sensor needs to be mounted while the probe can reach the location described above.

Step 2:

Mount the sensor to a clean dry surface with the adhesive tape and/or the screws provided.

Step 3:

Mount the probe to a clean dry surface where water is most likely to pool if a leak occurs.

  • Controller inclusion/exclusion mode must be activated BEFORE starting sensor inclusion or exclusion mode.
  • The sensor can only be included into one controller network at a time, and must be excluded from one network before inclusion in another.
  • The plastic pull tab must be removed to enable sensor operation.
  • The sensor automatically enters inclusion mode at power-up.
  • Exclusion mode on the senor is initiated following the same exact procedure as inclusion.
Step 1:

Any sensor can be removed from any Z-Wave Plus controller. Follow the directions to put your Z-Wave Plus Controller into exclusion mode.

Step 2:

Open the Flood Freeze case and remove the battery for 1 second. Replace the battery and the controller should remove the device from the Z-Wave network.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The sensor package includes:

  • 1 x FLF-ZWAVE5-ECO Flood/Freeze Sensor
  • 1 x Sensor Mounting Bracket
  • 2 x Mounting Screws for Sensor Bracket
  • 1 x Adhesive tape for Sensor Mounting Bracket
  • 2 x Screws for probe

The sensor uses one (1) Lithium CR123A battery.

The sensor is a Z-Wave Plus compliant device and can participate in any standard Z-Wave network.

The sensor implements a radio-frequency (RF) communication protocol that allows the sensor to communicate with your system in the event of a water detection event.

The sensor implements a check-in process by which it contacts the system on a periodic basis and provides an update of its operational state.
