2GIG FT1-345 Flood and Temperature Sensor with Long Life Lithium Battery

Description

Key Features:

Dual Functionality: Flood Detection: Alerts when water is detected at the sensor location. Temperature Monitoring: Detects low temperatures and alerts for potential freezing conditions. Wireless Connectivity: Operates on the 345 MHz frequency, compatible with 2GIG control panels such as GC2, GC3, GC2e, GC3e, and Edge. Long Battery Life: Powered by a replaceable 3V CR123A lithium battery, offering up to 5 years of operational life under normal use. Tamper Detection: Equipped with a tamper switch to notify the system if the device is removed or tampered with. Compact and Discreet Design: Small enough to be placed in various locations without being obtrusive. Water-Resistant Housing: Designed to withstand exposure to water for reliable flood detection. Specifications: Frequency: 345 MHz Battery: CR123A lithium battery Flood Detection: Activated when water reaches the metal contacts on the base of the sensor. Temperature Range: Detects low temperatures (typically below 41°F / 5°C). Dimensions: 3.0″ L x 1.5″ W x 1.1″ D Operating Temperature: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) Use Cases: Flood Detection: Monitor areas prone to water leaks, such as under sinks, near water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and sump pumps. Freeze Alerts: Monitor unheated spaces like basements, attics, or garages for freezing temperatures that could cause pipe damage. Property Protection: Ideal for homes, offices, or rental properties to reduce the risk of water damage or freezing incidents. Installation Tips: Placement: Place the sensor flat on the floor in areas susceptible to water leaks or flooding. Ensure the metal contacts on the base of the sensor are in direct contact with the surface. Pairing with the Control Panel: Access the control panel’s programming menu and select “Flood/Temperature Sensor.” Activate the sensor (by pressing the tamper switch) to send a signal for pairing. Follow the panel’s prompts to complete the setup. Testing: For flood detection: Place the sensor in a shallow dish of water to trigger an alert. For temperature monitoring: Move the sensor to a cold environment to verify low-temperature alerts. Maintenance: Battery Replacement: Replace the CR123A battery when the system indicates a low battery. Open the sensor, replace the battery, and reattach the cover. Regular Testing: Test the flood detection feature every 6 months and verify temperature alerts periodically. Benefits: Provides early warning of water leaks to prevent costly damage. Alerts for freezing temperatures to protect plumbing and appliances. Easy installation and reliable wireless operation.
