Moen flo - Smart Water Detector Manual

DESCRIPTION

This Smart Water Detector provides valuable telemetry to help protect property from damage caused by water, temperature extremes and high humidity. The Detector should be installed in locations with high risk of exposure to water and/or temperature/humidity extremes (i.e. basements for weather-related events, under or near appliances or fixtures like dishwashers, water heaters, etc., and attics or crawl spaces for temperature). To optimize property protection, use the Flo By Moen Smart Water Shutoff for pro-active control of the plumbing system to reduce impact of catastrophic failures.

Battery Life*: 2 years
Connectivity

• Wi-Fi network (WLAN connectivity / IEEE 802.11 bgn, 2.4 GHz range)

*Note: Battery life is affected by the total time in active Wi-Fi mode, which is influenced by the time to pair to Wi-Fi, the alarm activity, the number of data transmissions per day, and the duration of each Wi-Fi connection.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

Prior to installation, the Flo By Moen App must be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and installed on a smartphone (iPhone or Android). After an account has been created and the user logged in, the Detector is ready for set-up. The diagrams on the following pages provide guidance on how to access and activate the Smart Water Detector's battery.

Note: To maximize battery life it is recommended to wait to activate the battery until pairing and installing the Detector.
Once the pairing process is completed using the mobile app, the Detector is ready to be placed. The unit operates as a standalone sensor when placed directly on the floor without the use of the mounting base. The mounting base is intended to be used for wall mounting of the primary sensor. When attached to the wall mount base, the remote sensing disc (included with Detector) or the separate leak sensing cable accessory must be installed to enable leak detection.
The sensing disc is intended for small spaces, such as under fixtures or appliances. The leak sensing cable (sold separately) enables creation of a sensing line or ring that will indicate if water contacts any point along its length. Up to 3 leak sensing cables can be connected in series to a Smart Water Detector.

Common placement areas:

• Under Bath / Kitchen Sinks
• Under toilet
• Basements (foundation leaks)
• Monitor floor drains against back-up
• Under / near water appliances
  Water heater
  Heating Boiler
  Washing Machine
  Water Filtration Tanks
  Reverse Osmosis System
  Water Softener
  Sump pump
