Cover Inside View: Installation Instructions Installing the Smart Water Sensor is simple and straightforward, the process basically entails adding (i.e., pairing) the sensor to the panel network system and then placing it in the desired location. No additional hardware is required. Adding the sensor can be performed by either following the onscreen prompts in the User DIY interface, or by using the Add Sensor screen in the Installer Toolbox. The Vivint Smart Water Sensor is a fully supervised, tamper-protected 345 MHz wireless device that can detect the presence of water and transmit an alarm signal, along with a notification, to the Vivint control panel. Additionally, this multi-purpose sensor can monitor the ambient temperature and report when it exceeds preset heat and freeze thresholds. Use this smart integrated sensor to protect susceptible areas inside the home from water damage and unexpected temperature levels. When added to the system, the sensor is automatically configured with three unique wireless loops in order to provide distinct monitoring and reporting operation for the following conditions: Water/Flood (Loop 2), Heat (Loop 1); and Freeze (Loop 3). See below for details. Powered by a single battery (3V), the sensor design is elegant and compact; allowing it to be easily installed in any applicable location in the home — under a sink or toilet, near a water heater or furnace, etc. It can be added to the system either via the User DIY steps or the Installer Toolbox. This Quick Reference document includes installation, operation, and test instructions, as well as technical specifications and regulatory notices and declarations. Smart Water Sensor (VS-FLD001-345) Quick Reference PRINT INSTRUCTIONS: REFERENCE SHEET V-FLD001-345 P/N 77-600026-001 REV 1.0 | INK: BLACK | MATERIAL: 20 LB MEAD BOND | SIZE: 8.50" X 11.00" SCALE 1:1 | FOLDS: BI-FOLD VERTICAL, BI-FOLD HORIZONTAL (TO FIT IN BOX) Side View: For both methods follow this general outline of steps: 1. Detach the sensor cover by twisting it counterclockwise and lifting it from the main body. 2. Remove the battery pull tab in order to activate the battery and apply power to the sensor. 3. To add the sensor via the User DIY method: At the panel, press Menu > Devices > enter a valid user PIN code > Add New Device > Smart Water Sensor. Follow the prompts to send the WPS pairing signal, wait for the chime, select the location name, and press Done when finished. 4. To add the sensor via the Installer Toolbox method: At the panel, press Menu > Software Version > enter the default Installer PIN code (2203) > Zones, Key Fobs, Keypads > Wireless Zones > Add Sensor. Press TXID and manually enter the unique TXID number; or press Learn and then the sensor's WPS pairing button. Note the Equipment Code for the sensor is: (1264) SWS1. Specify the sensor's settings, such as Name, as desired, and press Done when finished. 5. When added, the sensor is automatically configured with a unique loop for each functional operation — Water, Heat, & Freeze — and so three separate "Sensors" appear on the panel. 6. Reattach the cover by aligning the latches on the inside of the cover with the slots on the sensor, pushing the cover down, and twisting it clockwise until it snaps securely into place. 7. Place the sensor at the selected location. IMPORTANT: Make sure to place the sensor with the probes facing down, and with the sensor resting squarely (i.e., flat) on the surface below. 8. At the panel, go to Menu > Devices > Sensors to view, edit, and control the three new sensors. INSTALLATION TIPS: • Make sure the sensor is powered on before attempting to add it to the system. The LED will blink green 3 times when initially powered on. When the battery goes under 10% of charge, the LED will blink red every 45 seconds. • If placing the sensor near a metal object (washer, dryer, etc.), it is recommended to put it within 50 feet of the control panel to ensure a strong connection. Top View (Open): Bottom View: Multi-Functional Sensor Operation — Water / Heat / Freeze The sensor provides detection and alarm functionality for three different conditions at its placement location inside the home, as described below. Water/Flood — Loop 2: • Wet alarm signal, and corresponding notification message, sent to the panel when the sensor's probes detect the presence of water; also, the sensor LED blinks red every 8 seconds until the contact is dry • Restore (dry) signal sent to the panel when the probes no longer detect water • Tamper alarm signal, and corresponding notification, sent to the panel when the cover is removed (opened); also, the sensor LED does not illuminate when tampered Heat — Loop 1: • Heat alarm signal, and corresponding notification message, sent to the panel when the temperature rises above 95°F (35°C) for 30 seconds; also, the sensor LED blinks red every 25 seconds until the temperature drops back down • When the temperature drops back below 95°F (35°C) for 60 seconds, the sensor sends a loop 1 clear signal to the panel Freeze — Loop 3: • Freeze alarm signal, and corresponding notification message, sent to the panel when the temperature drops below 41°F (5°C) for 30 seconds; also, the sensor LED blinks red every 25 seconds until the temperature rises back up • When the temperature rises back above 41°F (5°C) for 60 seconds, the sensor sends a loop 3 clear signal to the panel NOTE: The temperature thresholds for both heat and freeze are preset and cannot be changed.
Installer Test After the sensor is installed, you can test its various detection and transmission functions in order to verify proper operation. To test Tamper: Remove the cover, confirm the alarm and notification at the panel. To test Water/Flood: Place the sensor in water, confirm the alarm and notification, and the sensor LED indicator. To test Heat: Blow a hair dryer on the sensor, confirm the alarm and notification, and the LED indicator. To test Freeze: Put the sensor in a freezer, confirm the alarm and notification, and the LED indicator.
