Aeotec by Aeon Labs Water Sensor

Your Z-Wave system is only as good as it is smart. Aeotec

by Aeon Labs’ Water Sensor brings it a new level of

inte l l i g e n c e , one that is suited to both safety and

convenience. Capable of detecting either the presence or

absence of water to as little as 3% of an inch, each sensor is

crafted into the smallest and most subtle of packages.

Quick Start

Your Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ Water Sensor is capable of

detecting the presence or absence of water. Choosing the

scenario you want will help you determine where best to

place your sensor. The most common scenario is the

detection of leaking water from the likes of a hot water

system or an air conditioner. In other instances you may

wish to detect when the level of water in a tank has

decreased passed a certain level.

Probe

Prepare your Water Sensor

The first step is to activate your Water Sensor

1. Take out the back shell of Water Sensor

2. Remove the clear battery insulator by pulling it away from

the Water Sensor

With the battery insulator removed, your Water Sensor

powered and activated. It is now time prepare to install

your Water Sensor.

Choosing a position for the Water probe

The following tips will help you select a position that will

optimise the performance of your water probe.

If detecting the presence of water, your probe’s two prongs

should sit flat against the surface where water will collect.

Water

If detecting the absence of water, your probe’s two prongs

should sit at the minimum water level you want.

If detecting the absence of water, it’s fine to submerge your

probe in water - it’s waterproof.

Choosing a position for the Water Sensor

The following tips will help you select a position that will

optimise the performance of your Water Sensor.

Your water sensor is not waterproof or weatherproof, as such

you should not place it in any area where it is likely to get wet.

This includes not placing it directly underneath objects which

you may be monitoring for leaks, such as water heaters.

For an optimal wireless signal, position your Water Sensor 1

meter off of the ground.

Additionally, for an optimal wireless signal mount your Water

Sensor with its longest side vertical.

Will have an optimal wireless signal when affixed 1 meter or

above your home's floor.

Placed within 30 meters of another Z-Wave device that is

either a gateway or not powered by batteries.

If outdoors should be protected from the elements - such as

inside a recess or within a waterproof box

Keep Dry

Installation your Water Probe

Once you've selected the best position for both parts of your

Water Sensor to be installed, it's time to affix both to their

respective surfaces.

1. Affixing your water probe’s mounting plate

There is a magnet inside the water probe, if you’ve sure the

position where your water probe should install, only adsorption

your water probe up to a metal.

If you can’t find the metal to affixing your water probe. Use the

Iron plates .

1. installation your Water Sensor

Your water sensor ’s mounting plate can be affixed using screws

or double-sided tape. You needn't worry about which end is the

top or the bottom, they can be mounted with either end at the top

- they're bidirectional.

If using screws, attach your water sensor’s mounting plate

using the screws. If either surface is soft, plasterboard for

instance, use the screw anchors.

If mounting your water sensor indoors in an area where itself

won't be exposed to condensation or moisture in the air, it is

possible to use mounting tape to affix it to a wall. To begin, wipe

the respective surface clean of any oil or dust. When the surface

has dried, peel one side of the tape back and attach it to the

corresponding section on the rear of main mounting plate.

Adding your Water Sensor to Z-Wave network

With your mounting plates prepared to hold each component of

your sensor, it’s time to add it to your Z-Wave network.

On the rear of your water sensor, remove the spacing tab to

connect the batteries. Your water sensor’s LED will blink for 3

seconds.

Press the Z-Wave button on your primary Z-Wave controller /

gateway. If you’re unsure of how to do this, refer to its user

manual.

Press the Z-Wave button on your water sensor. If it has been

successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its LED will
