2.
Connect a
new alkaline
9V battery with
an extended
expiration date
at least 3 years
beyond the
current date. Be sure
not to pull on wires
when disconnecting an
old battery. (
Figure B
)
3.
Position the battery
as shown, as far into
the cavity as possible.
(
Figure C
)
4.
Close cover securely.
TEST DETECTOR
Whenever you install
a new battery, test the
detector to ensure that
it works properly.
1.
Wet your fingers
and touch both
Sensing Contacts.
(
Figure D
)
2.
A loud, repetitive beep will sound and
the LEDs will flash red.
3.
To stop the alarm, wipe the Sensing
Contacts with a clean, dry cloth.
POSITION THE DETECTOR
The Leak Alert
+
electronic water detector
can be used wherever there is a potential risk
for flooding.
Common usage areas include sinks,
toilets, water heaters, washing machines,
aquariums, or sump pumps. You can also use
it in more general areas, such as basements
or garages.
1.
Place the detector
as shown (
Figure E
),
with Sensing Contacts
touching the floor.
2.
The detector will
be unable to detect
water if Contacts
are up. (
Figure F
)
NOTE: When possible, avoid placing the
Leak Alert
+
directly under potential
leaking point (for example, directly
under the toilet supply hose). Instead,
the detector’s Sensing Contacts on the
bottom of the unit should be
able to come into contact with the
water leakage.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
SITUATION
LIKELY CAUSE
SOLUTION
False alarm sounds.
Battery charge is low.
Change the battery.
Water detector is on a
conductive surface,
such as metal.
Place a thin piece of paper or plastic between
detector and conductive surface.
Ambient moisture has collected
on the Sensing Contacts.
Wipe Sensing Contacts dry.
Detector does
not sound alarm
even when
touching water.
Detector is positioned in a
way that water does not
touch Sensing Contacts.
Reposition the detector so Sensing Contacts
are flat against the surface where water
leakage might occur.
Battery is dead.
Install a new 9V alkaline battery with an
extended expiration date.
Detector does
not float.
Battery is not placed correctly in
the battery cavity.
Position the battery per the battery installation
instructions in this document.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
- Always use a new alkaline 9V battery with an extended expiration date at least 3 years
beyond the current date. Connect the battery to the clip and match the direction to the image
inside of the battery cavity. Be sure not to pull on wires when disconnecting an old battery.
- This device is recommended for interior use only.
- If the device is used in a manner not specified here, the protection provided by the device may
be impaired.
- No part of this device may be replaced or repaired by anyone except the manufacturer.
IF FLOODING OCCURS
In the event that
an area floods,
the detector will
float, and the alarm
will sound for the life
of the battery, up to
72 hours. (
Figure G
)
LOW BATTERY WARNING
In the event of low battery, water
detector will chirp (short beep every
five seconds). Immediately replace
the battery with a new 9V alkaline
battery with a valid extended
expiration date of at least 3 years
beyond the current date.

The Leak Alert
™
+
electronic water detector
is a self-contained, battery-powered unit
designed to minimize water damage by
alerting you to a potential water leak.
Two external metal strips (the Sensing
Contacts) each carry a mild electrical current.
If both strips get wet–from a plumbing leak,
a flood, or surrounding moisture condensing
on the surface, the detector will activate and
sound a 90 dB alarm and the LEDs will start
to flash.
In the event of a flood, the detector will float
on top of the water, and will continue to
signal for up to 72 hours.
INSTALL BATTERY
1.
Insert a
coin as shown.
Twist coin to
release cover.
(

)
*The Sensing Contacts
extend down the side
and onto the bottom
of the detector.
