LS100 G8 User Guide
Installation and setup guide for the LS100 G8 Z-Wave water leak sensor
Overview
LS100 G8 is a compact, easy to install leak sensor. It is designed to control other Z-Wave devices directly or it may be used with a variety of Z-Wave certified home controllers to launch automation events or scenes.
Applications
Use to activate Z-Wave devices such as sirens or water valve controllers when a leak is sensed.
Use to trigger home automation events (aka “automations”) when a leak is sensed
Configuration
LS100 G8 is battery powered and includes a Z-Wave network button, LED indicator and a magnetic wall mount/wired probe assembly. The unit may be deployed as a free-standing sensor (using built-in probes) or as a wired remote sensor (via the wall mount/wired probe assembly).
Physical Installation
Free-standing installation Simply place the leak sensor on a flat horizontal surface in the area where a leak might occur.
Remote installation Install the included magnetic wall mount/wired probe assembly in the location of your choice (using the supplied mounting hardware) and attach the LS100 G8 to it by aligning the 3 probes with the 3 holes in the mounting bracket. Position and install the wired probe in the area where a leak might occur or where you wish to detect liquid.
Z-Wave Network Installation
Remove the back cover by rotating counter-clockwise and install 1 ER14250 battery (included) inside LS100 G8. Include the sensor into your Z-Wave network using the instructions below. Then, replace the back cover.
LS100 G8 may be included into your Z-Wave network as a “secure” device or as a “non-secure” device. Use the instructions below to include or exclude LS100 G8 to/from your Z-Wave network. If your home controller supports “S2” security encryption, the Leak Sensor may be added as a ‘secure’ device to your network. If not, it will add as a non-secure device. This will not effect the functionality of the unit.
Inclusion
Put your home controller into Z-Wave ‘inclusion’ mode.
Quickly press and release the Z-Wave network button once. Wait for the inclusion process to finish.
Exclusion
Put your home automation controller into Z-Wave ‘exclusion’ mode.
Quickly triple-press the Z-Wave network button. Wait for the exclusion process to finish.
Factory Reset (Use this procedure to reset LS100 G8 to factory settings when the Z-Wave controller is missing or inoperable).
Press and hold the Z-Wave button for 20 seconds. Release the button once the LED stops blinking and glows solidly.
Operation
Leak Sensor Operation
LS100 G8 is designed to transmit a Z-Wave command when liquid is sensed. It will also transmit another command when liquid is no longer sensed.Shock Sensor Operation
The shock sensor is designed to transmit a Z-Wave command when LS100 G8 has been physically moved. This sensor is especially helpful in determining whether the unit has been removed from its mount or tampered with.
Z-Wave Association Information
LS100 G8 supports Group 1 association. Group 1 reports the sensor’s status and battery if running on batteries.
