C. Testing the WaterComm device
Ensure the lithium ER26500 battery is installed.
Test the device in its intended position to ensure that it connects to the IoT network.
Simulate a leak by plugging a connecting cable into port 1 of the device and holding the two male test
pins together for 20 seconds then release the pins.
The Port 1 red LED will illuminate, and the small green and blue LED indicators on either side of the
central blue On/Off button will flash to indicate that it is transmitting a leak alarm.
Check that you receive a SMS (or email).
Disconnect the cable.
E. Installation method: WaterComm device
Mount the WaterComm device in the desired location using the supplied backplate.
Plug the leak detection tape(s) and connecting cable(s) into the allocated ports on the WaterComm device.
D. Installation method: leak detection tapes
Leaksafe leak detection tapes are supplied in standard lengths of 1M or 2M and can be daisy chained
together if longer lengths are required.
If the system is being used as a centrally located panel, then the connecting cable can be extended
using either 2 wire 13 core audio cable or YY 0.05mm
2
cable. No more than 25M of cable and tape can
be connected in a single length.
To daisy chain lengths of leak detection tape, push the male & female connectors at the end of the
tapes together and crimp using a crimp tool.
Connect the length of tape to the connecting cable by inserting the male connectors to the female
connectors at the end of the tape and crimp the connection.
Position the tape as required. Tape should be laid under pipe joints and connections. The tape can be
laid directly on a floor or surface with or without retaining clips depending on the location of the tape
and whether it is likely to be disturbed.
Tape can also be contained within pre-drilled mini trunking if appropriate, ensuring that there are
sufficient holes of adequate size so that if a leak does occur, the water would quickly soak into the leak
detection tape.
