INTRODUCTION
The FTS05x sensor is a Z-WavePlus
TM
Security-enabled device that detects water leaks and measures temperature. In case of leak or high/low
temperature conditions it will send alerts on your Z-Wave
TM
network. The FTS05x is compatible with other Z-Wave
TM
and Z-WavePlus
TM
certified
products.
The FTS05x sensor comes in four part numbers for each geographic region (where ‘yy’ b
elow indicates, for example, US or EU):
•
FTS05LB-yy and FTS05LW-yy (Battery only version with black and white cases)
•
FTS05PLB-yy and FTS05PLW-yy (Battery/AC version with water/temperature probe and black and white cases)

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
•
Do not store highly flammable items such as oily rags or other combustibles near your FTS05x.
•
Do not apply electrical power to the unit unless the unit is fully assembled.
•
Install unit in accordance with electrical codes and regulations. In case you are unsure about any parts of these instructions consult an
electrician or Z-Wave
TM
home automation specialist.
•
FTS05x functionality is based on wireless (RF) transmissions. Any wireless transmission can be subject to RF interference or loss of
communication. This interference or loss of communication may cause the unit to not operate as intended. You, the end-user, are
responsible for ensuring that the FTS05x functionality and installation meets your desired requirements.
o
WARNING - The FTS05x must not be used in life support and / or safety applications.
•
Do not place FTS05x on or near metal objects. This decreases range and/or blocks wireless transmissions.
•
Information provided in this manual is for your convenience and may be superseded by updates. This manual is subject to change
without notice. It is your responsibility to ensure that the FTS05x functionality meets your needs and specifications.
Using the FTS05x in a Z-Wave
TM
Network
Program Switch for Network Add/Remove
The switch is used for adding into or removing from a Z-Wave
TM
network. Refer to your controller’s User Manual for specific
details. A Security-Enabled controller must be
used to fully utilize the FTS05x.
Add
(Inclusion) into a network: 1) Set up the Add/Inclusion mode at the controller; 2) Briefly press the switch once and the controller will indicate
the unit has been added into the network. Also, the LED will blink when complete. Add/
Inclusion and Remove/Exclusion are always done at normal
transmit power mode. This product can be added and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers
and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the
network.
The FTS05x can be added either securely (ZWave S0 Security) or non-securely depending on your controller settings.
Remove
(Exclusion) from a network: 1) Set up the Remove/Exclusion mode at the controller; 2) Press and hold the switch for approx. 2 seconds
and then release. The controller will indicates the unit has been removed from the network. The LED will blink when complete.
Associations:
Once in a network, a controller can be used to associate the FTS05x with other devices in the Z-Wave
TM
network, such as a light or
a remote audible alarm.
Refe
r to your controller’s documentation on how to associate
FTS05x with another device in your network.
The FTS05x
supports eight association groups with a maximum of 2 devices in each group. Refer to the Association section below.
Node Info / Keep-Alive:
While not in a network, the FTS05x will send the Z-Wave
TM
Node information frame when the switch is briefly pressed.
This is primarily used for adding as described above. The node information frame will also be sent while in network when the switch is pressed
and held for 2 seconds. In either case, the FTS05x
will ‘stay awake’ for approximately 30 seconds after this to allow time for configuration
commands from the controller. Refer to Status indications below for LED feedback.
Wakeup Notification:
The FTS05x will wake up and send a notification every 4 hours (default) to allow a controller to query and update the status
of the unit. A brief switch press while in network will also cause the FTS05x to wake up and send a notification. The device stays awake for 10
seconds during this time or longer if communicating with the controller.
