Install Your Flood Sensor - Cable
Do not use this sensor in hazardous (classified) locations or life safety applications.
Step 1: Mount your Flood Sensor - Cable.
Do not allow the Flood Sensor box to come in contact with liquid. The box itself plugs
into main power and must stay dry.
1. Locate the Flood Sensor box away from water and above any anticipated water line—
the box itself plugs into main power and must stay dry. You may mount it using the
two included mounting screws.
2. Run the orange-twisted Flood Cable where water is most likely to run or settle.
Step 2: Connect the Flood Sensor Cable to the Flood Sensor box.
Connect the RJ-11 leader to the RJ-11 port on the Flood Sensor box.
Try to avoid running the leader cable near large electromagnetic
devices or fluorescent lights, which produce EMI and can interfere with
sensor readings.
Step 3: Connect the Flood Sensor box to the Room Alert Monitor.
Do not connect the switch sensor inputs (dry contacts) on AVTECH products to any live
circuit.
Use only low-voltage 2-wire cable to connect switch sensor inputs.
