sump pumps, plumbing, washing machines, water heaters,

toilets, basements, and garages.

1. INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Insert a coin between top  

and bottom halves of case.  

Turn coin to separate.

sensing contacts.

A loud, repetitive series of  

beeps will sound and the LEDs

contacts to stop the alarm.

In the event of low battery, 

water detector will chirp (short beep  

every five seconds). Please replace 

with brand new 9V battery immediately.
