Z-WAVE RANGE TEST
The device has a built in Z-Wave network main controller's range tester.
•
To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recom-
mended to perform the test only in special cases.
•
Communication mode of the device may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct
range.
To perform a range test:
1. Press and hold the TMP button until the visual indicator glows violet.
2. Release the TMP button.
3. Click the TMP button once to confirm the selection.
4. The visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network's range (range signaling modes described below).
5. To exit the Z-Wave range test, press the TMP button briefly.
Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:
Visual indicator pulsing green - the Flood-Control attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communi-
cation attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator
pulsing yellow.
Visual indicator glowing green - the Flood-Control communicates with the main controller directly.
Visual indicator pulsing yellow - the Flood-Control tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules
(repeaters).
Visual indicator glowing yellow - the Flood-Control communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the
device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.
Visual indicator pulsing violet - the Flood-Control does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves
successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It's not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
Visual indicator glowing red - the Flood-Control is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network de-
vice (repeater).

ADVANCED PARAMETERS
The device allows to customize its operation to user's needs using configurable parameters.
The settings can be adjusted via Z-Wave controller to which the device is added. The way of adjusting them might differ depending on the
controller.
Wake up interval (battery mode)
The Flood-Control will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. After successful communi-
cation attempt, the sensor will update configuration parameters, associations and settings and then will go into standby mode. After failed
communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device will go into standby mode and retry to establish connection with the main controller
after the next time interval.
Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notification to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually
by a single TMP button click.
Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life
Available settings: 0 or 60-86400 (in seconds, 1min - 24h)
Default setting: 21 600 (every 6 hours)

Description:
Available settings:
Default setting:
1. Alarm cancellation delay
Determines time period (in seconds) by which a Flood-Control will retain the flood state after the flooding itself has
ceased. The sensor will keep on reporting flooding to the main controller. This parameter setting does not affect
acoustic and visual alarms, which turn off immediately after flooding ceases.
0-3600 (in seconds, each 1s)
0
2. Acoustic and visual signals On / Off in case of flooding
The parameter allows for the deactivation of visual and acoustic alarms. The parameter allows for increasing bat-
tery life. Setting changes will not affect the sensor's communication with the main controller - the device will still
send commands to association groups, alarms, and reports.
0 - acoustic and visual alarms inactive
1 - acoustic alarm inactive, visual alarm active
2 - acoustic alarm active, visual alarm inactive
3 - acoustic and visual alarms active
