Cleaning and Maintenance
Use and all-purpose cleaner and damp cloth to clean the Watchman unit.
Perform the following maintenance steps on a quarterly basis:
• Check all suspension hardware (including the Watchman's eye bolts). Tighten or replace if necessary.
• Inspect the ABS tube and end caps for cracks or other damage if there has been a collision.
• Replace the batteries (if applicable).
• Perform the functions check as described on page 7.
Troubleshooting
If excessive false alarms occur due to local vibration, Alvarado recommends applying pipe insulation to the
suspension cables.
1. Apply a 6” length of pipe insulation as close to the Watchman as possible on each suspension cable.
2. Wrap the insulation, lengthwise, tightly around the wire, completing as many layers as possible.
3. Secure the insulation in place using zip-ties placed at the top, middle, and bottom of each strip.
If more vibration dampening is required, continue to apply 6” strips of insulation spaced 18” apart until false
alarms no longer occur.
