Multi
Sensor
HS-FS100+
Applications
Use to trigger events based on changes in temperature
Use the built-in buzzer as an audible notification that triggers when things happen in your home
Use with optional light sensor to trigger events when indicator lights on appliances turn on or off
Example:
“Dehumidifier is full” indicator turns on
Use with optional water sensor to trigger events when water is detected near basement walls, plumbing fixtures or appliances
Configuration
Flex Sensor is equipped with a Z-Wave network button (for inclusion/exclusion), LED indicator and micro USB connector for use with an AC
power adapter (not included). A 3.5mm jack is also provided for connection to the optional wired light or water sensors. Z-Wave commands
are used to transmit temperature, light and water detection data and to control the built-in buzzer.
Physical Installation
Install 3 AAA batteries (not included) inside Flex Sensor and mount it in the location of your choice using the supplied double-stick tape,
mounting plate and mounting hardware.
Z-Wave Network Installation
Use the instructions below to
include
or
exclude
Flex Sensor to/from your Z-Wave network.
Inclusion
1) Attach light or water sensor cable (if available). Put your home automation controller into Z-Wave ‘inclusion’ mode.
2) Press the Z-Wave network button on the front of the unit one time. Wait for the inclusion process to finish. This may take some time.
Exclusion
1. Put your home automation controller into Z-Wave ‘exclusion’ mode.
2. Press the Z-Wave network button on the front of the unit one time. Wait for the inclusion process to finish. This may take some time.
Reset
(Use this procedure to reset Flex Sensor to factory settings when the Z-Wave controller is missing or otherwise inoperable).
1. Press and hold the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body for 10 seconds. If successful, the LED will flash 5 times.
Built-in Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is designed to transmit temperature data to your controller using Z-Wave commands every 60 minutes (on battery
power). That interval may be changed when the unit is line powered. See parameter settings on page 2 for details.
Optional Light Sensor
The light sensor can be mounted over any indicator light and will notify your controller with a Z-Wave command and will beep 5 times
when light is detected. Another Z-Wave command will be sent to the controller when light is no longer detected. This sensor will check for
light every 60 seconds (on battery power) or every 400 ms (on line power).
Optional Water Sensor
The water sensor is designed to detect moisture along the entire length of its cable. This is especially useful for detecting leaks over extend-
ed distances and around appliances. Optional extension cables may be added for coverage of up to 300 feet. The sensor will notify your
controller with a Z-Wave command and will beep 5 times when the water is detected. Another Z-Wave command will be sent to the con-
troller when water is no longer detected. This sensor will check for water every 60 seconds (on battery power) or every 400 ms (on line
power).
Buzzer
The built-in buzzer emits a single beep when activated with a Z-Wave command.
OVERVIEW
HS-FS100+ (“Flex Sensor”) is a multifunction module that includes a temperature sensor, controllable buzzer and a port to connect optional
external light or water sensors. It is designed to control other Z-Wave devices directly or it may be used with a variety of Z-Wave certified
home controllers to launch automation events or scenes.
