Flood detector

The flood detector triggers an alarm when both metal pins of the sensor detect water. The Egardia
flood detector is always operative regardless of your alarm system being turned on or off.

You can place the flood detector anywhere in your home where the possibility of leakage, flooding
or inflow of water might occur. For example under a washing machine or kitchen sink, under a drain
or at the front or back door of your home.

Decide at what height the flood detector should detect water by positioning the detector at the
desired height.

OVERVIEW FLOOD DETECTOR

1. Sensor – Both metal pins must come into contact with water to trigger an alarm.

2. Battery compartment – Holds the batteries.

3. Register button – To add the flood detector to your alarm system.

Functions flood detector

When the flood detector senses water, two alarm messages are sent by default:

1. When the sensor detects water for the first time all registered contacts will instantly receive an
alarm message. The gateway emits a constant low volume sound.

2. If the sensor 2 minutes after the first flood alarm still senses water, a second alarm message
will be sent to all registered contacts. The gateway emits a constant low volume sound. After
the second alarm message, if the sensor stays in contact with water, the flood detector will
enter standby mode and no more alarm messages will be sent.

As soon as the sensor no longer detects water, a message is sent to confirm that the alarm status is
no longer in operation. The flood detector returns to normal operation and will again trigger the
alarm in case of new contact with water.
