Optional Water Alarm
If your Gates housing includes the optional water alarm, there are three alarm conditions
to watch for:
You can test the alarm anytime by shorting the flood contacts that lead to the water
alarm transducer. The flood condition will activate for 6 seconds. If the battery is low,
the low battery condition will sound.
The battery for the water alarm is a single 9V type. Gates recommends the battery be
changed once a year.
O-ring Care and Maintenance
Your Gates housing for Panasonic
HVX200
has 3 serviceable o-rings. One is located
between the mating halves of the housing (the large orange one), and the other two are
located on the rear of each Port.
Servicing the o-rings is easy, and is covered in the “O-Ring Care and Maintenance”
document in this package.
a
Caution:
Do not lubricate the large orange o-ring! It is a special silicone o-
ring and can be damaged by petroleum-based lubricants.
a
Caution:
Never
use metal tools or objects for removing o-rings!
