1GOCONTROL SMART Flow detectorThe 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 FEATURESThe 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 thegateway or static Controller.• Lifeline function which automatically notifies the associated modules andthe network that a manually reset device is no longer in the network, thus,the corresponding association becomes invalid.INSTALLATIONThe 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 Preparation1.  Examine the water piping of the installation. Find the incoming line fromthe 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 completelyaround the pipe.PRINTER’S INSTRUCTIONS:INSTR, INSTL, WL00Z-1, GO CONTROL; P/N: 10008194 B; INK: BLACK; MATERIAL: 20# MEAD BOND; SIZE: FLAT 17.000” x 11.000”, FOLDED 8.500” x 11.000”; TOLERANCE ± .125”; SCALE: 1-1WL00Z-1Z-Wave Radio Frequency (RF) Controlled Pipe Mounted Flow DetectorNOTE: This unit must be added to the Network only where it will be permanently installed.

2Flow Detector Installation1.  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).Flow detector Module Installation1.  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 Installation1.  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.CALIBRATIONBefore 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.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.OPERATIONOnce 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.FLOWSENSORSILICONEINSULATORCOPPERWATERPIPEWATER FLOWDIRECTIONPEEL OFFADHESIVEBACKINGSECURE SENSOR ANDINSULATOR TO WATER PIPEWITH TWO ZIP TIESPLUG POWERSUPPLY INTOOUTLETPLUG POWERSUPPLY INTODETECTORHOOK AND LOOPSTRAPPLUG SENSOR CABLEINTO DETECTORDETECTORFLOW DIRECTIONFIT PIPE INSULATOROVER SENSOR STICK TOGETHERSENSOR
