INSTALLING THE REMOTE SENSING MONITOR TRANSMITTER
•
Place the ON / OFF switch in the “off” position.
•
Open the battery compartment on the back of the monitor.
•
Connect a new 9 volt battery to the battery terminals. Replace the
battery compartment cover.
•
Find the red and white transmitter code selector switch directly
above the battery compartment cover. All units come factory preset
for code 1. To avoid interfering with a neighbor’s unit, you may
choose to set your unit to a different transmitter code. Decide which
code you want to use, and select that code by pushing the
numbered switch AWAY from the number (toward the word “ON”).
Note: only one code can be selected. If two or more switches are in
the “on” position, the unit will not function properly.
•
Connect the flood sensor probe to the monitor by plugging it into the
jack marked “flood sensor”. If the flood sensor feature is not being
used, the sensor need not be connected. Keep the sensor for
testing purposes.
•
Mount the transmitter in any convenient location. Make sure that
the tips of the flood sensor (if used) will reach the place to be
monitored.
o
The transmitter can be mounted to the sump pump outflow
pipe using the plastic belt clip and the nylon cable ties
supplied. Simply slip the cable ties underneath the belt
clip, and secure the cable ties around the outflow pipe.
o
The transmitter can also be mounted to a wall or other
structure by hooking the keyhole slot in the rear of the unit
onto a nail or screw. It may be necessary to remove the
plastic belt clip to do this.
•
Position the flood sensor probe end at the place to be monitored.
The flood sensor activates when water touches BOTH of the two
silver contact buttons. The probe end can simply be laid on the
floor, hung in a sump crock, etc. It can also be mounted using the
suction cup supplied with the sensor. If a more sturdy installation is
desired, the suction cup can be removed, and the probe end can be
secured to the floor, 2x4, or some other structure by installing a #4
or smaller screw through the center hole at the probe end.
•
Place the ON / OFF switch in the “on” position. The remote sensing
monitor transmitter is now armed and ready.
