Inclusion, Exclusion and wakeup are confirmed by triple clicking the Z-Wave button inside the case.
The Fibaro Flood Sensor will alert you of a threatening flood or a rapid temperature rise or drop and has a wide variety of additional functions. Thanks to its flexible gold telescopic probes the device can even work on uneven surfaces. The Flood Sensor has a built in alarm siren which will help you to react quickly in case of a flood, rapid temperature change or the attempt to tamper with it. Aside from the alarm siren, the device can alert you of a threat using colour displays from the built in RGB diode. In addition to this a tilt sensor will detect tilt and movement over 15 degrees and send out a report to the main controller. The built in temperature sensor can not only be used to serve as a fire alarm sensor, it may also be used to manage an in-floor heating system.
The Input terminal allows you to connect an external probe and install the sensor in any location. The Output terminal allows for a connection to an alarm system. The Sensor will work on 12 or 24V DC or battery.
There are two powering modes for the Fibaro Flood Sensor, battery or mains current. By default it"s powered by a factory included battery. In addition it can work with a constant current, after connecting a 12 / 24V DC power supply to +12 and GND terminals. Powering mode configuration is carried out automatically, while a sensor is being included into the Z-Wave network. When battery powered, a Fibaro Flood Sensor communicates with a Z-Wave network main controller periodically. Detected alarms are sent immediately, but configuration parameters and associations settings only at specified wake up intervals, or at a manual wake up (button triple click). In DC powering mode, configuration and associations parameters are sent when necessary, and in addition a sensor serves as a Z-Wave signal repeater.
Switching to a constant current powering mode:
In constant powering mode a sensor may operate without a battery. Installing a battery is recommended though, as it will serve as an emergency power source. When constant power fails, sensor will automatically shift to an emergency mode. All reports, including flood and temperature, will be sent immediately, but it will not be possible to modify the configuration or association settings until constant power returns. If a sensor served as a signal repeater for other Z-Wave devices, in emergency mode signal repeating function will be deactivated.
Note: Fibaro Flood Sensor will automatically exit emergency mode once 12/24 VDC at +12 and GND terminals is detected and the device wakes up after detecting an event, i.e. flood alarm, temperature report, tilt, or manual wake up using button.
The Flood Sensor can also be used with an additional extended wire for the water sensor. Drill a hole into the casing and connect the wire as shown in figure 2.
Fibaro Flood Sensor has two sensors built in - flood and temperature sensors, meaning it"s a multichannel device. In the Z-Wave network"s main controller the Sensor will be shown as two devices.
Through an association Fibaro Flood Sensor may control another Z-Wave network device, e.g. a Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter, RGBW Controller, Wall Plug, or a scene.
Z-Wave Range Test
Fibaro Flood Sensor has a built in Z-Wave network range test for the main controller. Follow the instruction to test the main controller"s range:
Z-Wave Range Tester signaling modes:
LED Indicator pulsing green - Fibaro Flood Sensor attempts to directly communicate with the main controller. If the direct communication attempt fails, the sensor will try routed communication, through other devices, which will be signaled with LED Indicator blinking yellow.
LED Indicator glowing green - Fibaro Flood Sensor directly communicating with the main controller.
LED Indicator pulsing yellow - Fibaro Flood Sensor tries to establish routed connection with the main controller, through intermediary devices.
LED Indicator glowing yellow - Fibaro Flood Sensor communicates with the main controller through other, intermediary devices. After two seconds the Sensor will retry to directly connect to the main controller, which will be signaled with the Indicator pulsing green.
LED Indicator pulsing violet - Fibaro Flood Sensor communicates at the range limit. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It"s not recommended to use the sensor at the range limit.
LED Indicator glowing red - Fibaro Flood Sensor unable to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network nodes.

Time interval (in seconds) between consecutive measurements of battery level and temperature (done by built-in temperature sensor). If the temperature differs from previously reported by a value determined in parameter 12, it will be reported to the Z-Wave controller.
The parameter determines time interval, in seconds, at which a Flood Sensor measures and reports ambient temperature and battery level.
If a temperature value will differ from previously reported by a value determined in parameter 12 (e.g. P12 = 50, i.e. temperatures differ by 0.5°C), new temperature value will be reported. If a battery level changes, the device will report a battery status change – Battery Report.
In battery mode more significant battery level changes will be reported. Short time intervals mean more frequent communication, which results in shortened battery life.
After consecutive FAILED and SUCCESSFUL communication attempts, the Sensor will go to standby mode.

The device is capable of automatically turning off alarm signalization after a certain amount of time. Long lasting alarm may reduce battery life, when constantly signalized.
The parameter determines time after which alarm will become “quiet” – still active but the device will go into battery saving mode. Visual or acoustic alarm will be reactivated after time specified in the parameter 76. When alarm status ceases, alarm will be turned off immediately.
The value of 0 means visual and acoustic alarms are active indefinitely. In battery power mode the Sensor will never go to sleep which may shorten battery life significantly.
Note: The parameter is ignored when Parameter 2 is set to 0.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
0 | alarms active indefinitely |
