Ring Flood & Freeze Sensor is a smart sensor for your Ring Alarm system. Place it anywhere you want to monitor for flooding or freezing conditions. On the bottom of the Sensor, you’ll see flood sensors that can tell when water is present. Inside, a temperature sensor keeps watch for dangerously low temperatures (around 40 ° F or 4.4 ° C). When either of these conditions occurs, the Ring app notifies you so you can take care of the issue.

Place your Ring Flood and Freeze Sensor.
Test your Flood & Freeze Sensor.
Now that your Sensor is set up, bring it to the area you want to monitor. To ensure it remains connected to your Alarm Base Station in its new location, test the Sensor.
- To do this, push the Setup button inside the Sensor.
- If the LED blinks blue, the Sensor is connected and ready to place.
- If it blinks red, try the test again.
You may find that repositioning the Sensor (even just a few inches) can improve reception
Note If the Sensor cannot connect, try installing a Ring Range Extender between your Sensor and the Base Station
Close the lid.
- Place the lid back on the Sensor,
- Take care to line up the semi-circle on the rim of the lid with the “open” semi-circle on the base.
- Twist the lid clockwise to lock it in.
Place the Sensor on the ground.
Choose a spot next to a possible source of flooding, such as your water heater, sink, or refrigerator. Take care to place the Sensor in a location where it won’t be kicked or moved unintentionally
Note If the surface you’re placing on is not flat, try to place your Sensor at the lowest point.
