General information about the FIBARO System FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the Z-Wave protocol. All of available devices can be controlled through a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Z-Wave devices are not only receivers, but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave network’s range.
Sensor from its original location. FIBARO Flood Sensor is sink-proof, which means it drifts on the water surface and keeps on sending alarm signal in case of substantial inundation of water.
#2: Basic activation 1. Turn the cover counter-clockwise and open it. NOTE 2. Remove the battery blocker. When powered, the device will indicate Z-Wave status with colour of LED: • Green - the device is already added to the Z-Wave network. •...
#3: Adding/removing the device Adding (Inclusion) - Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to add NOTE the device to existing Z-Wave network. Adding security To add the device to the Z-Wave network: mode must be per- 1. Open the cover. formed up to 2 meters from the controller.
#4: Diagrams and connection Connecting the FIBARO Flood Sensor in a manner CAUTION inconsistent with manual may cause risk to health, life or material damage. Connect while observ- ing wiring diagram shown in this manual Notes for the diagrams and probes marking: only.

Connection with a wired alarm system: NOTE ALARM nC and TAMP nC connectors may be used as end-of-line protective loop’s ter- minals. ALARM SYSTEM HUB AUX COM Z1 Z2 TAMP ALARM Extending Flood Sensor contacts with a wired probe: NOTE If you want the device to be mounted on a wall or in a distance from flooding source, sensor should be extended using an external probe Mounting...
In this mode Z-Wave signal repeating is nals is detected not possible. FIBARO Flood Sensor’s battery life is estimated at about 2 years at factory default settings. Current battery level is displayed in a Z-Wave controller interface. Red battery icon means the battery needs re- placement.
3x click: add/remove the device to/from a Z-Wave network Holding: enter/navigate through menu button Controlling the Flood Sensor with FIBARO Home Center controller: The Flood Sensor has two built-in sensors – flood and temperature sensors. In the home Center controller the Sensor will be shown as two devices.

Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu: 1. Press and hold the TMP button. 2. Wait for the device to indicate desired position with a colour: • WHITE - confirmation of entering the menu •...
In extreme cases, system response may be de- layed. To add an association (using the FIBARO home Center controller): 1. Go to device options by clicking the icon: 2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
#8: Z-Wave range test The Flood Sensor has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s CAUTION range tester. To make Z-Wave range test possible, the de- vice must be added Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range: to the Z-Wave control- ler.
#9: Advanced parameters The Flood Sensor allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box. In order to configure the Flood Sensor (using the FIBARO home Center controller): 1.

Low temperature alarm threshold The parameter stores a temperature value, below which visual indi- cator blinks with a colour determined by a parameter 61 settings. By default the visual indicator blinks blue.
