Introduction
The Water Leak Alarm is designed to be used in areas where there is a potential for damaging water leaks-dishwashers, washing machines, hot water tanks bathrooms, air conditioner condensation drip pans, etc. When mounted properly it will sound an alarm indicating potential damage from water leaks.
Installing Batteries
The alarm requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included). Average battery life for typical usage is up to one year1. Make sure alarm OFF/LOW/HI switch is set to "OFF" position2. Slide cover off the battery comportment door in direction of arrow3. Insert 3 x AAA batteries noting polarity4. Replace battery compartment cover
Installation
The sensor should be mounted first. Positioned the sensor with the contacts pointing down. Find a suitable location where water could accumulate if a leak were to occur (e.g. along the baseboard of wall).For best results mount both alarm and sensor to a flat surface. The surface must be smooth and nonporous, Before mounting, make sure the mounting surface is clean and dry. Clean the mounting surface with a mixture of 50% Isopropyl alcohol and 50% water. Remove protective paper from double-sided tape. Once the mounting surface is ready, position sensor so that the metal contacts are pointing down, touching the floor or the area where it can detect water accumulation.
Note: If mounting the sensor to a metal surface, ensure the sensor's contacts do not touch the metal surface.
Next, stretch the cable vertically and locate a suitable position with a smooth surface to mount the alarm, Make sure you can easily access all the controls and the battery door once the position has been selected. Follow the some mounting instructions above for mounting the alarm. Position the back of the alarm unit (after removing protective paper from the double side tape) up against the smooth nonporous surface, Apply pressure to secure the alarm unit to the surface.
