Thank you for purchasing the WWA-01 Wireless Water & Freeze Alarm. This product will provide you with the peace of mind and
protection you expect. Leaking pipes, corroded water heaters, fixtures in bathrooms and laundry rooms refrigerator drip pans, etc. can
all cause water damage. The WWA-01 is a Z-Wave
TM
enabled device and will send a water leak alert on any Z-Wave
TM
enabled
network. A WWA-01 unit that is not in a Z-Wave
TM
network will still alert you to water leaks using the audio alarm.

Testing the WWA-01
Moisten a paper towel and place over both of the small metal pads on the water sensor until you hear the audible alarm sound. The
water alarm may take up to 4 or 5 seconds before it sounds.
If the alarm fails to sound, your battery may be old or dead or incorrectly
installed, the sensor may not be moist enough, or the water sensor may be damaged.
If you do hear the audible alarm, remove the moistened paper towel, clean the small metal pads of any water residue, and hold the
button for 2 seconds to clear the alarm. You can then add your water alarm to any Z-Wave
TM
enabled network and controller.
Examples of Z-Wave controllers can be found on the FortrezZ website (

Inclusion
in (adding to) a network: 1) Set up the inclusion mode at the controller; 2) Press the button (
or
hold the button for approx. 2
seconds) until the controller indicates the unit has been included in the network. Also, a beep will be heard when the inclusion
completes.
Inclusion and exclusion are always done at normal transmit power mode.
Exclusion
from (removing from) a network: 1) Set up the exclusion mode at the controller; 2) Press the button for approx. 2 seconds
until the controller indicates the unit has been removed from the network. A beep will also be heard when the exclusion completes.
Awake Mode:
To remain awake and listen for commands (when in a network), press and hold the button for at least 2 seconds. The
WWA-01 will stay awake for approx. 30 seconds.
Associations:
Once in a network, a controller can be used to associate the WWA-01 with other devices in the Z-Wave
TM
network,
such as a light or another remote audible alarm.
Refer to your controller’s documentation on how to associate the WWA-01 to another
device in your network.
The WWA-01 supports two association groups. A maximum of 5 associated devices are allowed in each group.
The WWA-01 sends the Basic Set Command to the associated nodes assigned to Group1 to convey that a Water Alarm is
active. If no nodes are assigned to Group 1, then a Binary Sensor Report (value = 0xFF) is broadcast. The reports are sent at
regular intervals while the water alarm is active. When the water alarm is cleared via the button, one additional report (with status =
no alarm) is sent.
The WWA-01 sends the Basic Set Command to the associated nodes assigned to Group2 to convey that a Freeze Alarm is
active. If no nodes are assigned to Group 2, then a Binary Sensor Report (value = 0xFF) is broadcast. The reports are sent at
regular intervals while the freeze alarm is active. When the freeze alarm is cleared due to temperature rise, one additional report
(with status = no alarm) is sent.
During an alarm
If water is detected at the monitoring location, the unit will sound an 82 decibel, audible alarm and will send an alert message to the Z-
Wave
TM
network (if included in the network already). Pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds will clear the Water Alarm. If
freezing conditions are detected, no audible alarm will sound but an alert message is sent to the Z-Wave
TM
network (if included in the
The button in the rear casing is used for including or excluding the WWA-01 in a Z-
Wave
TM
network. Refer to your controller’s User Manual for specific details on
network inclusion, exclusion, and association.
