WATER DETECTOR
Installation Instructions
Recommended Installation Locations
Place the Water Detector level with all 4 legs flat on the surface to be monitored for water.
Place a Water Detector in areas where there is a potential for water damage from leakage.
Suggested areas are:
- Near or under washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, sinks, etc.
- Next to your kettle
- Under a water bed
- In the bathroom where toilets, tubs, or sinks could overflow
- In the basement where ground water or leaky water lines may cause damage
- On the floor under potentially leaky pipes
General limitations
Water detectors will not work without properly installed batteries. Test monthly for proper
operation.
Water Detectors will not sense water that does not come in contact with the sensing probes.
If there is a leak near the Water Alarm but the moisture is unable to come into contact with
the sensors in the legs of the unit, the alarm will not sound and damage could occur. The
Water detector should be placed so that leaking water will come into contact with the legs
immediately.
The water detector may not be heard. The loudness of the alarm in your detector meets or
exceeds current standards. However if the water detector is placed in the basement it may
not be heard on the second floor. If the sound is blocked by distance, closed doors, normal
noise such as traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioning units, or other appliances, it
may not be heard. The alarm may not be heard by people that are hard of hearing.
Water detectors are not substitutes for property insurance. The Water Alarm is designed to
alert you to potential water damage. There is no guarantee, expressed or implied, that it will
prevent water damage.
Using the Water detector
Installing the battery
Match the terminals of a 9 volt Alkaline battery (do NOT use rechargeable batteries) to the
connections on the Water Detector. When the terminals are properly matched push the
other end of the battery gently into the base of the Water Detector.
When the battery is getting to the end of its useful life the Water Detector will 'bleep'
approximately once every minute and the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.
To remove the battery, turn the unit over and gently lift the end of the battery away from the
terminals and withdraw from he battery compartment.
The Water Detector will not function and may be damaged if the battery is not correctly
installed.
