GOCONTROL SMART Flow detector

The GoControl™ family of Z-Wave® certifi ed wireless lighting products (smart
LED bulbs, switches, dimmers, outlets, plug-in modules), security devices
(alert sounder, motion sensor, and door/window sensor), and control products
(garage door controller and thermostat) bring a new level of intelligent wireless
capability to commercial and residential environments.

The Z-Wave wireless protocol is an international wireless standard for remote
home automation, security and other applications. Embedded in each device,
the Z-Wave smart chip enables two-way RF communication among hundreds
of Z-Wave enabled devices, allowing products and services from multiple
manufacturers to work seamlessly.

The FlowZ WL00Z-1 Smart Flow detector is simple to set up and provides
whole house monitoring of water fl ow that can alert you to catastrophic water
leaks like slab leaks, cracked pipes or a chronically running faucet.

GoControl Z-Wave products are easy to install, are Z-Wave Plus certifi ed, and
allow dealers to create an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless
expansion and interoperability with security, energy management, home
entertainment, appliances, and more.

As part of a Z-Wave network, the WL00Z-1 will also act as a wireless repeater
to insure that commands intended for another device in the network are
received. This is useful when the device would otherwise be out of the radio
range of the wireless controller.

For indoor use only. Retain instructions for future use.

Z-WAVE PLUS FEATURES

The WL00Z-1 contains a Z-Wave 500 Series Module that supports
Z-Wave Plus® features. A Z-Wave certifi ed portable or stationary Controller
can communicate with the Z-Wave 500 Series Module.

Depending on the capability of the Controller or gateway software, the following
operations will be performed by Smart Flow Detector. Refer to the controller or
gateway manual for details.

• Send an alert if water is running.

• Add or Remove Smart Flow Detector. Over-the-air firmware update by the
gateway or static Controller.

• Lifeline function which automatically notifies the associated modules and
the network that a manually reset device is no longer in the network, thus,
the corresponding association becomes invalid.

INSTALLATION

The WL00Z-1 Smart Flow detector module straps on a water pipe over the
foam pipe insulator covering the stick-on sensor strip that directly contacts the
pipe. The sensor strip that detects water fl ow plugs into the detector module.
The detector module is powered by a UL Listed plug-in power supply that also
plugs into the detector.

Pipe Preparation

1. Examine the water piping of the installation. Find the incoming line from
the meter or the line to be monitored. The WL00Z-1 must be installed
indoors on a copper pipe 3/4 to 1”diameter. Monitoring of PVC,cast iron,
galvanized or any other type of pipe is not supported.

2. Determine the direction of the water fl ow through the pipe to be monitored.

3. Clean a 6” section of the pipe with the included abrasive cleaning pad.

To ensure good contact with the fl ow sensor, be sure to clean completely
around the pipe.

1. Look for the water fl ow direction arrow on the stick-on sensor strip.

2. Carefully peel off the stick-on sensor strip backing and affi x the sensor strip
long-wise to the cleaned off section of the pipe. Be sure the water fl ow
direction in the pipe matches the fl ow direction arrow on the sensor
strip.

3. Position the red silicone insulator completely over the sensor strip, then

secure the insulator and sensor to the pipe with two evenly spaced wire
ties (included).

CALIBRATION

Before the fl ow detector can accurately measure the water fl ow in the
monitored pipe, it will need to be calibrated. Perform the following steps to

calibrate the unit.

BACKING

1. Fit the gray foam pipe insulator over the sensor assembly and onto the pipe
with the sensor cable exiting one end of the pipe insulator.

2. Fit the fl ow detector over the gray foam pipe insulator.

3. Secure the fl ow detector to the pipe using the attached hook and loop strap.

Power Supply Installation

1. Insert the power supply connector into the power input plug on the side of
the fl ow detector.

2. Plug the power supply into a non-switched 120 VAC outlet.

3. The green indicator on the fl ow detector should light.

1. Turn off the water to the home by closing the incoming water line valve at
nearest point to entry of home (typically the valve to turn off water is near
where it enters the home).

2. Press the CALIBRATE button on the fl ow detector. The red and green
indicators will

alternatively blink every second.

3. Wait for the calibration process (about 30 seconds).

4. The system will confi rm that the calibration is completed. by fl ashing the

Green LED three (3) times and then staying on. If the calibration failed, the
Red LED will fl ash three (3) times and stay Red.

5. Turn the water back on to the home.

OPERATION

Once installed and calibrated, the Smart Flow detector will continuously
monitor the water fl owing through the pipe. If water is running continuously at a
rate of approximately ten (10) oz. per minute, an alert will be sent to the Z-Wave
hub. The default Water Flow Time for the Smart Flow detector is 21 minutes.

You can change the Water Flow Time from 14 to 350 minutes (see
Confi guration). The Smart Flow detector will send an alert based on the Water
Flow Time with a variation of up to seven (7) minutes. So out of the box, the
Smart Flow detector will send an alert if water is fl owing for 21 to 28 minutes.
If the Water Flow Time is changed to 14 minutes, an alert will be sent between
14 and 21 minutes.

✓ Note: It may take up to seven (7) minutes for a water fl owing alert to be

cleared.

✓ Note: This product should be tested periodically to make sure it is working

properly. The product, if used properly, may reduce the risk of water
damage. However it may fail to warn for a variety of reasons, including, but
not limited to improper installation or positioning, improper maintenance,
component failures, Z-Wave communication failures, water fl ow may be
outside of the product’s designed range of ten (10) oz. per minute and
certain environmental conditions may impact performance.
