WaterSiren Pro (WS-04E) Instructions
Introduction:
The WaterSiren Pro (model WS-04E) provides easy and effective alarm notification if water is detected by the attached water sensor.
Use it in a sump pit, behind appliances, on basement floors or under water heaters. The WS-04E has a 90 decibel audible alarm that
will alert you when water is detected and it also will chirp every 30 seconds if the battery requires replacing. The alarm will sound for
up to 72 hours on a fully charged 9V alkaline battery (not included). The WS-04E has a dry contact alarm output that can connect to
an alarm panel or telephone dialer like our Deluxe FreezeAlarm (FA-D2) or TempAlarm Dialer Pro (FA-900E). The WS-04E can
either close or open an alarm contact to trigger an alarm call-out or turn on a remote light or other external siren. This is a normally
open contact that closes when water is detected
Operating Instructions:
Installing the battery:
Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the alarm and snap the battery terminal connections to 9V alkaline or lithium
battery. Place the battery into the battery compartment and snap back to the back of the water alarm. Be careful to not pinch any
wires when replacing the battery compartment cover and ensure the tabs snap into place. Note: Replace the battery immediately
after any alarm condition or when you hear the battery chirp indicating a low battery.
Positioning the sensor:
The water sensor is located on the bottom of the WaterSiren Pro. It has two small metal pads that must both be touching water to
sound the siren. The water sensor may remain attached to the alarm device and simply set on the floor or the water sensor may also
be detached using the 6’ (1.8m) of wire and placed in harder to reach areas.
Connecting the Auxiliary Alarm Output
The WS-04E has an alarm output option that can be used to trigger a security system
or a telephone dialer like our FA-900E. This alarm output either opens or closes an
alarm contact when water is detected. To connect the WS-04E to the FA-900E, use
any 2 conductor wire (26 to 18 AWG) and plug one wire
into the left, or “Normally
Open” connection. The other wire plugs into the “Common” or middle connection. If
you have a device that requires a Normally Closed connection, use the “common” and
“normally closed” connections. See the diagram below.
