The Blue by ADT Flood Sensor helps protect your family by alerting you when flooding is detected in your home. It’s easy to set up, and you can get instant alerts with our free mobile app.
Setting up a Blue by ADT Flood Sensor
Included in box: • Flood sensor with cover • Probe • CR123A Battery • Double-sided tape
Before you get started
You will need: • Blue by ADT Smart Home Hub • Blue by ADT app on the latest iOS or Android OS
Pairing
The Blue by ADT Smart Home Hub is the controlling hub that communicates with your sensors. To pair your sensors with the Blue Smart Home Hub, launch your Blue by ADT app. Once logged in, select Menu > Devices > (+) Add Device> Sensors > Flood & Temperature Sensor, and follow the in-app setup help to pair your sensor.
Note:Sensors and devices in a Blue by ADT system are preconfigured so that they will already be paired to your system and can be added by simply removing the battery tab, as shown in the following steps.
To enable a new sensor:
Remove the top cover of the sensor by gently prying it off.
Remove the battery isolation tab.
The sensor’s blue LED indicator will blink while it attempts to pair with the smart home hub.
If a network is not found after 90 seconds, the sensor will go into sleep mode. To wake the sensor, press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds and then release the button to restart the pairing cycle.
5. Replace the top cover of the device.
Mounting your Blue by ADT Flood Sensor
The flood sensor can be placed on the ground or mounted onto a wall.
Ground The sensor detects water through the 2 gold probes protruding through the bottom of the unit. Place the sensor on the ground in the area to be monitored with the probes facing downward.
Wall mounting For wall mounting, the sensor must use the external extension probe.
Remove the waterproof plug that covers the micro USB connector and insert the sensor probe.
Place the contacts at the end of the extension probe on the surface to be monitored. Both contacts on the sensor probe will need to be in contact with water for the flood sensor’s alarm to sound, so try to mount it as level as possible.
Double-sided tape is provided to mount the water sensor and extension probe. Press and hold for 30 seconds to adhere.
Note: First, clean the wall area and allow it to dry thoroughly before mounting your sensor with double-sided tape.
Whenever the water level subsides, the water sensor’s fault will clear, and the device will return to its normal operation mode.
Factory resetting your Blue Flood Sensor
To factory reset your device:
Open the sensor’s top cover.
Press the pairing button for 10 seconds and then release it.
The blue LED will blink for 3 seconds when the device is successfully reset.
The sensor is now reset to factory default and will initiate pairing mode.
Note: If the sensor is reset while paired to your account, it will be removed and will need to be set up as a new device.
To reboot your device:
Open the sensor’s top cover.
Remove the CR123A battery.
Wait 10 seconds, and then reinsert the battery.
The sensor should illuminate the blue LED once when boot-up/initialization tasks are complete.
Place the cover back on the sensor.
Note: Replace the battery with a CR123A battery only.
