SKU Code
FGFS-101
Description
FIBARO Flood Sensor is a universal, Z-Wave Plus compatible, flood and temperature sensor. The device can be powered using battery, 12/24V DC power supply or both. Flood alarm is sent to the Z-Wave network devices or additionally to any alarm system controller through opening a NC contact using the external power supply. The device has a built-in temperature sensor that allows to monitor ambient temperature. FIBARO Flood Sensor is designed to be placed on the floor or mounted on a wall (in this case Flood Sensor probes should be extended using addition wire). The device has a built-in visual LED indicator and an acoustic alarm. The LED indicator signals flood, operating mode or the Z-Wave network communication range. In addition, the device is equipped with a sensor reporting tilt or movement to the main controller e.g. when someone has taken the Sensor from its original location. FIBARO Flood Sensor is sink-proof, which means it drifts on the water surface and keeps on sending alarm signal in case of substantial inundation of water (if not wired). Flood Sensor is compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave+ Controller.
