5. Setup

5.1 Installazzjoni tal-batterija

1. Gently open the main unit's casing.
2. Insert the provided CR2 (3V) Lithium Metal battery, ensuring correct polarity.
3. Agħlaq il-ċasing b'mod sigur.

5.2 Pairing with a Z-Wave Hub (Inclusion)

The Water Sensor 7 Pro requires a Z-Wave hub to function within a smart home system. Ensure your Z-Wave hub is in inclusion mode before proceeding.

SmartStart Inclusion (Recommended)

If your Z-Wave hub supports SmartStart, follow these steps:

1. Scan the QR code located on the sensor or its packaging using your Z-Wave hub's app or interface.
2. The sensor will automatically join the network within 10 minutes of being powered on and within range of the hub.

Inklużjoni Manwali

If your hub does not support SmartStart, or if SmartStart fails:

1. Put your Z-Wave hub into 'inclusion' or 'add device' mode. Refer to your hub's manual for specific instructions.
2. Press the Action Button on the Water Sensor 7 Pro once. The LED indicator will flash to confirm inclusion mode.
3. If successful, the LED will turn solid for a few seconds, and your hub will confirm the device has been added.

Compatible Z-Wave Gateways: AutoPilot, Hubitat, Fibaro Home Centre, Vera, HomeSeer, Zipato, and other certified Z-Wave gateways.

5.3 Tqegħid u Immuntar

Position the main unit in a suitable location, typically wall-mounted, ensuring it is within Z-Wave network range. The external water sensing probe should be placed directly where water leaks are most likely to occur.

• Under sinks or near water heaters.
• Behind toilets or washing machines.
• In basements or utility rooms.
• Near bathtubs or showers.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Once successfully paired with your Z-Wave hub, the Water Sensor 7 Pro will begin monitoring its environment.

• Sejbien tal-Ilma: When the external probe detects water, it will send an immediate alert to your Z-Wave hub. Your hub can then trigger automations such as sending notifications, sounding alarms, or shutting off water valves (if integrated).
• Monitoraġġ tat-temperatura: The sensor reports ambient temperature data to your hub, allowing you to track environmental conditions.
• Monitoraġġ tal-umdità: The sensor reports ambient humidity data, useful for managing ventilation or preventing mold growth in damp żoni.

7. Manutenzjoni

7.1 Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija

The sensor is powered by one CR2 (3V) Lithium Metal battery. When the battery level is low, your Z-Wave hub will typically report this status. To replace the battery:

1. Open the main unit's casing.
2. Neħħi l-batterija l-qadima.
3. Insert a new CR2 (3V) battery, observing correct polarity.
4. Agħlaq il-ċasing.

7.2 Tindif

Wipe the sensor and probe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.

8 Issolvi l-problemi

• Sensor not pairing: Ensure your Z-Wave hub is in inclusion mode and the sensor is within range. Try performing a factory reset on the sensor before attempting inclusion again.
• False water alerts: Check the water sensing probe for any debris, dust, or foreign objects (e.g., spider webs) that might bridge the contacts and trigger a false alarm. Clean the probe if necessary.
• No alerts despite water detection: Verify the sensor's battery level. Ensure the sensor is properly paired with your Z-Wave hub and that your hub's automation rules for water detection are correctly configured.
• Z-Wave Frequency Compatibility: Note that Z-Wave devices operate on specific regional frequencies. This product (ZWA019) is designed for the American Z-Wave frequency (908.4 MHz, 916 MHz). It will not function with Z-Wave hubs operating on European (CEPT) frequencies (868.4 MHz, 869.85 MHz). Ensure your hub's frequency matches the sensor's.

8.1 Irrisettja l-Fabbrika

A factory reset will remove the sensor from its Z-Wave network and restore it to its default settings. This procedure is typically used when moving the sensor to a new hub or troubleshooting persistent issues.

1. Press and hold the Action Button for approximately 20 seconds.
2. The LED indicator will flash rapidly, then turn solid for a few seconds to confirm the reset.
3. Release the Action Button. The sensor is now reset and ready for a new inclusion process.
