Wireless Water Leak Detector

Operating Manual

Rev. 361rk-v1_0_en

The present operation manual is intended for studying operat­ing principle, correct usage, storage and maintenance of wire­less water leak detector Astra-361ver. RF (hereinafter referred
to as “detector”) (Fig. 1).

The manufacturer reserves the right to make alteration regarding
refinement of the product without prior notification. All changes
will be imported into new edition of the operation manual.

1 Function

1.1 The detector is designed for detection

of water leak events (except for distilled wa­ter), forming an “Alarm” notification and
sending it to receiver Astra-RVA (hereinaf­ter “RVA”) of wireless intrusion and fire de­tection and alarming system Observer I.

1.2 The detector supports three operating

frequencies.

1.3 The detector is powered by a battery of

CR2450 type (voltage – 3.0 V) or batteries
of comparable characteristics and design.

4 Structure

Fig. 2

Structurally, the detector is designed as a unit consisting of a
base and a removable cover (Fig. 2). The cover is attached to
the base with screws.
The unit houses a printed circuit board with radio elements.
An indicator mounted on the circuit board provides for detector
operability supervision.
Contact pads are located on the detector body.

6 Pre-starting Procedure

6.1 After transportation in conditions differing from those of

operation keep detector unpacked under supposed operation
conditions for at least 4 hours.

WARNING! Check compliance of operating frequen-

cies of detector and receiver.

6.2 Registering the detector in the receiver memory

Detector is registered at the moment of powering up.

Step-1

Unscrew the screws and
remove the detector cover

Step-2

Remove the battery, if installed

Note – Wait at least 40 s before installing
the battery back into the detector. If you
have no time to wait, short plus-minus
contacts of the battery holder using a
screwdriver.

Step-3

Set the registration mode on a receiver according to pro­cedure described in the «Astra-RVA» operation manual or
the Observer I system operation manual (available for free
downloading from www.controlex.eu) or Quick Start Guide.

Step-4

Install the battery; the indicator
lights up for 0.5 s.

Step-5

Make sure the registration procedure is completed accord­ing to procedure described in the «Astra-RVA» operation
manual or the Observer I system operation manual (availa­ble for free downloading from www.controlex.eu) or Quick
Start Guide.

 Once registration pro­cedure completed suc-
cessfully reassemble de­tector.

 In case registration failed repeat steps 2-5

Step-6

After successful detector registering, for long term storage
before its installation, it is allowed to switch the detector
OFF by removing battery.

When installing the detector on-site there is no need to re­register it in the memory of the same receiver, if the memory
of the receiver has not been cleared

7 Installation

7.1 The detector shall be mounted on the floor in the

lowest place of a room where flooding possibility is

monitored (taking into account directions of water flow in
case of burst water conduits or heating system pipelines).

7.2 The detector shall be mounted with the contact pads fac-

ing downwards.

7.3 Check detector operability:

- close (short) the contacts pads (e.g., with a wet cloth),

- make sure “Violation” event is displayed on the RVA indica­tor or on the display of Astra-812, Astra-812М control panel.

8 Maintenance

To provide for reliable operation of the detector it is recom­mended to test and maintain the detector at least once a
month in the following way:

- inspect integrity of the detector body;

- check its location;

- check detector operability as described in 7.3;

- clean the detector from any dirt accumulated.

9 Labeling

The following data are shown on the label glued to the body:

- manufacturer trademark;

- detector abbreviated designation;

- firmware version;

- operating frequency;

- month and year of manufacture (last two digits);

- conformity mark (if the conformity certificate is available);

- bar code, duplicating textual data.
