5VDC MOISTURE SENSOR RELAY
5VDC MOISTURE SENSOR RELAY
MODEL #9K585
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Sensor can detect the presence of water and provide
a relay output for signal or control of an external device.
The switch operates on 5 Volts DC and functions as a
Normally Closed Sensor, for a Closed Loop system. The
Red and Balck wires power the switch while the White
and Green wires are the relay output wires.
For installation to an alarm panel, the Red wire is
connected to the positive side of a 5 Volt supply and the
Black wire is connected to the negative. The Green and
White wires can then be connected to any pre-selected
Closed Loop zone. A resistor can be connected in series
with either the Green or White wire for those panels that
require end-of-line resistance.
After installation these units should be tested with a
damp sponge or paper towel and inspected annually. If
there is any corrosion or damage the sensor should be
replaced.
