WS-15ZBS Water Leak Sensor
Introduction
WS-15ZBS is a ZigBee Water Leak Sensor. It is capable of sending wireless signals to the coordinator in
the ZigBee network upon water detection. The Water Sensor can be mounted on the wall using the
extension probe, or placed on the ground to use the probe on the back to detect water leakage or flood
condition.
The Water Sensor utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is a wireless
communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high transmission efficiency.
Based on IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network
and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission
The Water Sensor serves as an end device in the ZigBee network. It can be included in the ZigBee
network to transmit signal upon activation, but cannot permit any other ZigBee device to join the network
through the Water Sensor.
PARTS IDENTIFICATION
1. Red LED (Inside)
-
Two Quick flashes:
The Water Sensor has successfully joined a ZigBee network.

Features
Water Detection
The Water Sensor will be activated when water is detected by the probes. After activation, the
Water Sensor will transmit signal to the ZigBee network coordinator and raise alarm with its built
in buzzer for 10 seconds.
The Water Sensor will check if water is present every 10 seconds, if water persists after 10
seconds, the buzzer will continue to sound alarm.
If water persists, the Water Sensor will continue to send the alarm signal every
10
minutes.
If water is subsided, the Water Sensor will stop alarming and transmit a restore signal
Alarm Silence
When the Water Sensor is alarming, press the Function button once on Water Sensor to enter
Alarm Silence mode for 10 minutes
Under Alarm Silence mode, the Water Sensor will not sound alarm. The LED Indicator will flash
