ITI Part No. 60-744
Installation Instructions
Document Number: 466-1539 Rev. C
January 2000
Product Summary
The ITI SAW Learn Mode™ Water Sensor detects a water
leak in a home or business. The detector is connected to the
sensor by an 8-foot (2.4-meter) cable. Water that reaches
both detector contact points activates the sensor, causing it
to transmit an alarm signal.
The SAW 319.5 MHz transmitter has an operating range of
at least 500 feet in open air (depending on panel type and
installation environment). The sensor has an estimated bat-
tery life of 3 to 5 years.
Tools and Equipment Needed
❑
Double-sided tape (included) for mounting the detector
and sensor
❑
1.5-inch wire (used for programming the sensor)
❑
#6 pan head screws (included) if mounting sensor with-
out double-sided tape is preferred
❑
Slotted screwdriver (not included) if mounting sensor
with screws
Installation Guidelines
This section describes the detector and sensor (transmitter)
mounting requirements.
Detector Mounting:
❑
Install the detector on the floor for low water-level
detection or on the bottom of a wall, just above the
floor for higher water-level detection.
Figure 1. Detector Mounting Options
Note
The contact points on the detector may corrode if
exposed to water for more than 24 hours. Instruct your
customer to temporarily remove the detector from the
water, if possible, during a flood to avoid damaging the
detector.
Sensor Mounting:
❑
Program and test the sensor before mounting.
❑
Install the sensor where it is easily accessible and not
exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures.
❑
Locate the sensor within 100 feet of the panel when-
ever possible. Although the sensor has an open-air
range of at least 500 feet, the indoor range may be less.
Programming
This section describes how to add (learn) the sensor into the
memory of compatible panels.
