To adjust sensor height, hold straight edge across
pads (B1 & B2). Turn sensors (A & A) out or until
distance to straight edge equals the desired water
detection level. See Figure 2.
Connect battery clip (E) to terminals of battery (C).
Then insert the battery into retainer clip.
Wait ten seconds, then test unit by touching wet
fingers to both sensors(A-A).
The unit should ac-
tivate.
Position Water Alert in desired location and retest
it by placing wet fingers across the heads of the two
screws on which sensors are mounted
The unit
should activate.
When activated, the unit will be in alert condition for
2-3 seconds and turn off for 5-7 seconds to conserve
battery resources.
To reset the unit, simply remove it from water. If
necessary, dry off the sensor area if it is excessively
wet (if the unit was submerged).

SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE
Do Not Use Batteries
Other Than Alkaline!
CAUTION
BATTERY
One 9-volt alkaline battery (NEDA size 1604A) is re
-
quired. Approximate alarm duration time (after one
year monitoring) is 3 days.
The Alkaline batteries should be replaced once a year.
If the unit is activated often, the batteries might need
to be replaced sooner.
Whenever the batteries are replaced, it is a good
practice to wipe clean the top surface of the Water
Alert and its sensors.
A Dorlen Power Supply, such as the PSW-3, may be
used in place of batteries. If so, follow the furnished
instructions for wiring.
