POWERInG MODES
#5: Powering modes
There are two powering modes for the Flood Sensor. By default it is
powered by a factory included battery. In addition it can work with a
constant voltage, after connecting a 12/24V DC power supply to +12
and GnD terminals (see „Diagrams and connection” on page 7).
Powering mode configuration is carried out automatically, while the
device is being added into the Z-Wave network.
When battery powered, the Flood Sensor communicates with the
main Z-Wave controller periodically. Detected alarms are sent imme-
diately, but the configuration parameters and associations settings
will only be updated at specified wake up intervals or at manual wake
up (single TMP button click).
When added to the network as a DC powered device, the device will
update its associations and configurations immediately. It will also
allow it to serve as a signal repeater in the Z-Wave network, which
increases the chance of successful communication among devices in
the same network.
Switching to constant voltage powering mode:
1. Remove the sensor from the Z-Wave network.
2. Connect constant voltage power source (12/24 VDC) to +12 and
GnD terminals in accordance with „Diagrams and connection” on
page 7.
3. Add the sensor to the Z-Wave network.
The Flood Sensor may operate without a battery if 12/24V power sup-
ply is connected. Installing a battery is recommended though, as it
will serve as an emergency power source. When constant power fails,
sensor will automatically shift to backup power mode. All reports, in-
cluding flood and temperature, will be sent immediately, but it will
not be possible to modify the configuration or association settings
until constant power returns. In this mode Z-Wave signal repeating is
not possible.
FIBARO Flood Sensor’s battery life is estimated at about 2 years at
factory default settings. Current battery level is displayed in a Z-Wave
controller interface. Red battery icon means the battery needs re-
placement. In order to avoid triggering a tamper alarm while replac-
ing the battery, 4th association group’s associations must be deleted
and configuration parameters should be restored back to default set-
tings.
NOTE
The Flood Sensor will
automatically exit
emergency mode
once 12/24 VDC at
+12 and GnD termi-
nals is detected

than specified may
result in explosion.
