PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Refer to Figure 1. The SS-2 is activated by liquid bridging the adjustable sensors (A & A). The unit can detect
water film from zero height, (sensors turned out to make contact with the floor), to 1/8" height, (sensors turned
all the way in). The units are factory adjusted to activate with 1/32" water film height which is satisfactory for
most applications. The pads B1, B2, B3 provide a gap between the case and the surface to admit water under
the unit for detection. CAUTION: If the pads are removed, the unit may form a seal with the surface and prohibit
the sensors from detecting water. If desired, the self-adhesive pad feature may be used by peeling off the thin
protective layer from each pad. The unit will remain in place when located on the mounting surface. Replace
-
ment pads are available from Dorlen at no charge.

NOTE:
Although the two sensors (A & A) may be adjusted to make contact with the surface, it is recommended
that a small gap be set between the sensors and the surface so undesired activation, caused by damp
-
ness or dirt film, does not occur.
