Disconnect the Negative terminal 
from the battery to avoid the 
potential hazard of electrical 
shock. Run the wires in protected 
locations and avoid hot surfaces 
and places that could pinch or 
rub on the wires.

1.  Lubricate o-ring on water 

probe with silicone lube or 
clean motor oil, then install into 
collection bowl. Tighten probe 
body snugly by hand only.

2.  Connect 

BLACK

 wire on 

connector assembly to ground, 

RED

 wire to +12/24 vdc, and 

YELLOW

 wire to either wire of 

supplied lamp (use a supplied 

butt splice connector). This will 
send a ground (-) signal once 
water is detected. 
 

Note: The yellow output wire 
sends a ground signal (-) when 
water is detected. This signal 
can only support a 1 amp load 
so the provided lamp is ideal. 
Should you want this signal to 
trigger a warning device that 
draws more than 1 amp, use 
a relay (customer supplied) 
to drive the device. The 
yellow wire (ground signal) 
should be attached to the coil 
ground terminal of the relay. 
Once water is detected, the 
ground signal will activate the 

coil, thus closing the power 
contacts to drive your device 
(horn, buzzer, etc.).

3.  Use loose black wire (supplied 

with lamp) and butt splice 
connector to connect other 
side of lamp to 1 amp fuse, 
then to +12/24 vdc.

4.  Mount plastic under-dash 

bracket and install lamp into 
bracket hole or drill a 0.50˝ 
(12.7 mm) diameter hole in 
panel and mount lamp directly 
to panel.

5.  Use cable ties to secure any 

loose wires. Reconnect positive 
battery terminal.
