1. تعارف
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Flood and Freeze Sensor. The sensor is designed to detect water leaks and dangerously low temperatures, providing timely alerts to help prevent potential damage to your property. Its compact design allows for flexible placement in high-risk areas such as under sinks, near toilets, behind refrigerators, or in basements.
2. حفاظت جي ڄاڻ
- انسٽاليشن ۽ استعمال ڪرڻ کان پهريان سڀ هدايتون احتياط سان پڙهو.
- Do not expose the sensor to extreme temperatures or humidity outside its operating range.
- Use only the specified battery type (CR123A lithium). Incorrect battery usage may cause damage or fire.
- ڊوائيس ۽ ان جي حصن کي ٻارن جي پهچ کان پري رکو.
- مقامي ضابطن جي مطابق بيٽرين کي ختم ڪريو.

5. سيٽ اپ
5.1. بيٽري لڳائڻ
- Open the battery compartment on the main sensor unit.
- Insert the provided CR123A lithium battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment securely. The sensor is designed for a long battery life, typically up to five years.
5.2. Z-Wave Inclusion (Pairing)
To integrate the sensor with your Z-Wave network:
- Put your Z-Wave controller/hub into inclusion (pairing) mode. Refer to your controller's manual for specific instructions.
- With the battery installed, the sensor will automatically attempt to pair. If it doesn't, you may need to briefly remove and reinsert the battery.
- Confirm that your Z-Wave controller recognizes the sensor. The sensor's LED indicator may flash to confirm successful inclusion.
5.3. Z-Wave Exclusion (Unpairing)
To remove the sensor from your Z-Wave network:
- Put your Z-Wave controller/hub into exclusion (unpairing) mode.
- Briefly remove and reinsert the battery into the sensor.
- Confirm that your Z-Wave controller indicates successful exclusion.
5.4. سينسر لڳائڻ
Strategic placement is key for effective monitoring:
- Place the water probe directly on the floor in areas prone to leaks, such as under sinks, behind toilets, near water heaters, washing machines, or dishwashers.
- The 36-inch probe cable allows the main unit to be mounted in a more accessible location (e.g., on a wall or cabinet side) while the probe remains at floor level.
- Ensure the two metal contacts on the water probe are facing downwards and can make direct contact with any pooling water.
- For freeze detection, place the main unit in an area where temperature monitoring is critical, such as an attic, basement, or utility room.
6. آپريٽنگ هدايتون
6.1. Flood Detection
When water bridges the two metal contacts on the water probe, the sensor will detect a flood condition. It will then send an alert to your Z-Wave controller, which can trigger notifications (e.g., text messages, app alerts) or automated actions (e.g., shutting off a water valve, turning on lights).
6.2. Freeze Detection
The sensor continuously monitors the ambient temperature. If the temperature drops to 41℉ (5℃) or below, the sensor will send a freeze alert to your Z-Wave controller. This can be used to notify you of potential pipe freezing conditions or to activate smart thermostats to increase heating.
6.3. LED اشارو
The LED indicator on the main unit provides visual feedback during operation and pairing. A brief flash typically indicates successful communication or a change in status (e.g., flood detected).
7. سار سنڀال
7.1. بيٽري مٽائڻ
When the battery level is low, the sensor will report this status to your Z-Wave controller. Replace the CR123A lithium battery as described in Section 5.1. Ensure proper disposal of the old battery.
7.2. صفائي
Periodically inspect the water probe for any debris or corrosion on the metal contacts. Clean with a soft, dry cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.
8. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ
- Sensor not pairing: Ensure your Z-Wave controller is in inclusion mode. Try removing and reinserting the battery. Ensure the sensor is within range of your Z-Wave network.
- ڪابه خبرداري ناهي: Verify the sensor is successfully paired with your Z-Wave controller. Check the battery level. Ensure your Z-Wave controller's automation rules for flood/freeze alerts are correctly configured.
- غلط الارم: Ensure the water probe contacts are clean and dry. Reposition the probe if it is inadvertently coming into contact with moisture.
- مختصر بيٽري جي زندگي: While designed for long battery life, frequent Z-Wave communication (e.g., due to poor network signal requiring retries) can reduce battery life. Ensure a strong Z-Wave mesh network.
