Flood Sensor - Cable (RMA-F008-SEN & RMA-F024-SEN)
Your Flood Sensor box comes with one end of the 25' speaker
cable already attached to its Flood Detection switch port, which is
non-polarized. Follow these steps to attach the other end to a
switch port on your Room Alert Monitor:
1. Separate and strip the leads on the free end of the speaker
cable, exposing about ¼" of wire.
2.
Run the speaker cable back to your Room Alert Monitor. Try to avoid running it near
large electromagnetic devices or fluorescent lights, which produce EMI and can
interfere with sensor readings.
3. Connect the free ends (the ¼" leads) of the speaker cable to an
open switch port on your Room Alert Monitor. Be sure the bare
wire, not the insulation, connects to the port. The leads are non-
polarized, so you may connect either lead to either side of the open
port.
Step 4: Connect your Flood Sensor - Cable to a power source.
Use only the AVTECH 5V power adapter. Others may damage the sensor.
1. Connect the included power adapter to the power port
on the Flood Sensor box.
2. Then insert the power adapter plug in to a power
source.
Notice that the Status LED lights up when the box is
plugged in to power.
Clean Your Flood Cable
Over time, the orange-twisted Flood Cable will accumulate dust, dirt, etc., particularly if it’s
placed on the floor. When the cable gets dirty, it can cause the Flood Sensor to trigger false
alerts.
If you receive false alerts, check the cable to see if it needs to be cleaned. We recommend
disconnecting it and cleaning it using dish soap and a wet rag. Then let the cable sit for 24 to
48 hours to dry, preferably in a location with low humidity so that the cable does not retain
any moisture.
