OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEPLOY THE UNIT
The receiver should be placed in a convenient location in the house that is commonly occupied. This will allow for quick reaction times in case of an emergency. Each of the sensors should be placed in close proximity to areas of high water usage (i.e. Hot Water Heater, Washing Machine, Sinks, etc.) and can be mounted with a suction cup on the bottom. Doing so will offer the most accurate readings and fast alert times in the event of a water buildup. The transmitter should be mounted at least 5 in. or higher above the ground to keep it out of the way of a rising water level.
ALERT SYSTEM
The receiver will activate when water reaches both of the copper contacts located in the transmitter. The receiver will emit a continuous beeping sound until it is turned off by the user. To reset the unit and shut off the sound, tum the power switch on the receiver to OFF and then to ON. The system will not arm again until this process is completed.
