FLD-550 PG2

PowerG Wireless Flood Detector

Installation Instructions

1. INTRODUCTION

The FLD-550 PG2 is a fully supervised two-way indoor, PowerG flood detector, used to detect the presence of water based fluids at

any desired location. The FLD-550 PG2 sends the parameters of the specific alarm to the control panel using PowerG two-way

communications protocol.

The FLD-550 PG2 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.

A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically. The control panel is thus informed, at regular intervals, of the unit’s active

participation in the system.

An LED lights whenever alarm or tamper events are reported. The LED does not light while a supervision message is being transmitted.

Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. When the battery voltage is low, a “low battery” message is sent to the

receiver.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Mounting

1. Attach the flood sensor near the floor.

2. Secure the flood sensor and its cable to the wall using the three

wire clamps. One clamp should be fastened immediately above

the flood sensor. The flood sensor should be installed only in a

vertical position, and facing downward. The remaining two

clamps can be used as required (see Figures 1 and 2).

Note: To provide better protection against rats, it is

recommended that the flood sensor cable be placed inside a

metal/plastic pipe.

3. Attach the flood detector to the wall. The flood detector should

be placed as high up as possible on the wall to improve

communication and to prevent the flood detector itself from

coming into contact with water in the event of flooding.

4. Insert a flat-edged screwdriver into the slot and push upward to

remove cover.

5. Remove the screw and separate the cover from the base.

6. Remove the PCB board.

7. Mark and drill 2 holes in the mounting surface and fasten the

base with 2 countersunk screws.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose

of used battery according to manufacturer's instructions.

Note: 868 MHz device is illustrated in the above example. The

same mounting procedure should be performed for 433 MHz and

915 MHz devices.

F. Tamper switch

Note: Flood sensor height according to required flood detection.

Recommended 0-3 cm from floor.
