BATTERY OPERATED WATER ALARM MODEL WA100
Help protect your home from potential water damage by placing a water alarm anywhere a potential water leak may occur such as:
near a sump pump, plumbing, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, sinks, water heaters, toilets, and basements.
ACTIVATING THE UNIT AND GENERAL USE
Remove the cover for the battery compartment, located on the right side of the
alarm and extend the wires and the connector that are inside. Insert the 9 Volt
battery making sure it snaps completely into the battery terminals and cannot
be shaken loose. Place the battery into the compartment and replace the cover.
The alarm can be tested by placing it on a wet surface so water is across the
two metal sensors on the unit. The alarm should be tested monthly. Depending
on use and if the unit has gone into alarm, the battery should be replaced
every year. If the unit does not test properly, change the battery. If the unit
goes into alarm it will sound for up to 72 hours depending on when the battery
was replaced and if the unit has gone into alarm prior. The battery should be
replaced 12 months after installation. Write the replacement date on the area
provided on the back of the alarm.
The operating temperature of the alarm is 32°F to 120°F. The storage
temperature of the alarm is -20°F to 150°F.
PLACEMENT
The sensor is located on the bottom of the alarm. The alarm can be placed
directly on the floor with the sensor compartment closed, or the sensor
compartment can be opened and the sensor wires extended up to 6 feet to
reach a remote location. Adjust wires so contacts are flat against surface.
The alarm is splash and water resistant, but is not waterproof. If the alarm has
been submerged in water or becomes wet, test the alarm as described above to
ensure it still operates. If it does not operate replace the alarm.
LIMITATIONS OF WATER ALARMS
Water alarms can only work if they are properly located, installed, maintained,
and if water reaches them. Water alarms cannot work if the batteries are
missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of battery is used, or if the
batteries are not installed correctly. The alarm will not notify if there are low,
dead, or missing batteries. Unit does not float. Water Alarms produce a loud
85-dB signal, but may not be heard if:
1. The unit is located outside a closed or partially closed door.
2. Residents recently consumed alcohol or drugs.
3.
The alarm is drowned out by noise from stereo, TV,
traffic, air conditioner or other appliances.
4. Residents are hearing impaired or sound sleepers. Water alarms
may not have time to alarm before water damage occurs.
Water alarms are not foolproof. Like any electronic device, water alarms are
made of components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must test the
unit monthly. Water alarms cannot prevent water damage. They are not a
substitute for property insurance. The unit should be replaced immediately if
it is not operating properly. Do not try to fix the alarm yourself – this will void
your warranty. Replace the Water alarm after 10 years from date of purchase.
