1. Introduzione
The Sensative Strips Drip Z-Wave 800 is an ultra-thin water leak and temperature sensor designed for smart home environments. It utilizes Z-Wave 800 technology to detect water leaks and monitor ambient temperatures, providing timely notifications to your Z-Wave controller. Its slim design allows for discreet placement in hard-to-reach areas, offering comprehensive monitoring for potential water damage or freezing conditions.
2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
- Do not attempt to open or modify the sensor. Internal components are not user-serviceable.
- Keep the sensor away from direct heat sources or open flames.
- Ensure the sensor is installed in a location where it will not be physically damaged or submerged in water beyond its intended detection area.
- Dispose of the product and its battery according to local regulations. Do not incinerate.
- The provided magnet is for setup and reset purposes only. Keep it away from children.

4. Prodotto finitoview
The Sensative Strips Drip sensor is designed to be discreet and highly functional. It features an ultra-thin profile, allowing it to be placed in tight spaces where traditional sensors cannot fit. The sensor detects water presence across its length and reports ambient temperature.
Caratteristiche principali:
- Rilevamento perdite d'acqua: Senses water on most hard surfaces in 1-100% increments.
- Monitoraggio della temperatura: Reports ambient room temperature.
- Z-Wave 800 Technology: Extended wireless range and enhanced security (S2 and Secure Vault).
- Batteria a lunga durata: Up to 10 years with the built-in LiMnO2 battery.
- Installazione universale: Adatto per applicazioni interne ed esterne.
5. Impostazione
To set up your Sensative Strips Drip sensor, you will need a compatible Z-Wave controller or hub (sold separately). The sensor uses a magnet for activation and pairing.
5.1. Adding the Sensor to Your Z-Wave Network (Inclusion)
- Prepare your Z-Wave Controller: Imposta il controller Z-Wave in modalità di inclusione (associazione). Consulta il manuale del controller per istruzioni specifiche.
- Attiva il sensore: Hold the provided magnet against the marked area on the sensor (usually indicated by a small indentation or symbol) for approximately 3 seconds, then remove it. The sensor's LED (if visible) may blink to indicate activation.
- Confirm Inclusion: Your Z-Wave controller should detect and add the sensor. If successful, the controller will confirm the inclusion. The sensor may appear as multiple devices (e.g., leak sensor, temperature sensor, brightness sensor) depending on your controller's capabilities.
- Smart Start (if supported): If your Z-Wave controller supports Smart Start, you can scan the QR code on the sensor or its packaging to automatically add it to your network.
Nota: The timing of holding and removing the magnet is crucial. If inclusion fails, repeat the process. Some Z-Wave hubs may require several attempts due to timing sensitivities.
5.2. Raccomandazioni per il posizionamento
The ultra-thin design allows for flexible placement. Consider areas prone to leaks or where temperature monitoring is critical.
- Sotto i lavandini (cucina, bagno)
- Dietro i servizi igienici
- Vicino agli scaldabagni
- Under washing machines or dishwashers
- In scantinati o locali di servizio
- Near pipes that may freeze

6. Funzionamento del sensore
Once successfully included in your Z-Wave network, the Strips Drip sensor will automatically begin monitoring for water leaks and reporting temperature data.
6.1. Rilevamento perdite d'acqua
When water comes into contact with the sensor's detection strip, it will trigger a leak alarm. This alarm is sent to your Z-Wave controller, which can then execute predefined actions (e.g., send notifications, activate a siren, shut off a water valve if integrated).
Nota: The sensor's felt strip requires a few seconds to absorb water before triggering. This is normal operation.
6.2. Monitoraggio della temperatura
The sensor continuously monitors the ambient temperature in its vicinity and reports this data to your Z-Wave controller at regular intervals (default wake-up interval is 24 hours, but can be configured). You can use this information to monitor for extreme temperatures that could indicate freezing pipes or other issues.

7. Manutenzione
7.1. Durata della batteria
The Sensative Strips Drip sensor is equipped with a built-in LiMnO2 battery designed to last up to 10 years under normal operating conditions. The battery is not replaceable by the user. When the battery is low, the sensor will report its status to your Z-Wave controller.
7.2. Pulizia
If the sensor becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the sensor is dry before placing it back in its monitoring location.
8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
If you encounter issues with your Sensative Strips Drip sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not pairing with Z-Wave controller. | Incorrect timing during inclusion, sensor too far from controller, controller not in inclusion mode. |
|
| No leak alerts received. | Sensor not properly included, communication issue, water not reaching detection strip, controller configuration. |
|
| Temperature readings are inaccurate or not updating. | Sensor placed in an area with fluctuating temperatures, long wake-up interval, communication issue. |
|
| Sensor battery appears to drain quickly. | Frequent reporting, poor network signal requiring more power, extreme temperatures. |
