Pre-installation checklist Installing the Dry Contact Sensor ❶ Before you begin, turn off power to the equipment we are monitoring.
❸ Connect one Dry Contact Sensor wire to the float switch wire that goes to the thermostat. Monitoring the R-wire with float switches wired between the HVAC transformer and the HVAC control board NOTE: If the unit has more than one float switch, ensure the Dry Contact Sensor connects to the last float switch in the series. ❹ Connect the remaining Dry Contact Sensor wire to the C terminal on the HVAC control board.
❸ Connect the remaining Dry Contact Sensor wire to the C terminal on the HVAC control board. Monitoring float switches with a dedicated alarm circuit ❹ The switches on the front of the Dry Contact Sensor should be set to NC (black) and 24V (orange). ❺ Remove the battery tab from the Dry Contact Sensor. ❻ sing the screws, double-sided adhesive tape, or cable U tie provided, install the mounting bracket to a wall or pipe near the desired monitoring area, and then mount the Dry Contact Sensor.
❸ Connect one Dry Contact Sensor wire to the Normally Opened wire or terminal on the float switch Monitoring Normally Open or Closed Dry Circuit (with no power running) ❹ Connect the remaining Dry Contact Sensor wire to the C terminal on the HVAC control board. ❺ The switches on the front of the Dry Contact Sensor should be set to NO (white) and 24V (orange). ❻ Remove the battery tab from the Dry Contact Sensor.
❺ If the LEDs are blinking in a pattern, that means the switches are configured incorrectly. Please double check the wiring and switch positions before testing the unit. ❻ Test the operation of the Dry Contact Sensor by placing the sump pump in alert state for approximately two seconds. Make sure the Alert LED on the Dry Contact Sensor turns on for 3 seconds. If the sensor remains in the alert state, it will continue to blink for 5 minutes.
Troubleshooting If the Dry Contact Sensor is not communicating with the Hub ❶ Press the button on the sensor. The network LED should turn on and then turn off within a few seconds. If this does not happen, the Dry Contact Sensor cannot communicate with the Hub. Follow these steps to fix the communication problems: a) Install a Z-Wave repeater between the Hub and Dry Contact Sensor.
