How the Sensors Work: Do I need a ground wire?
The sensors detect the presence of water by using a continuity circuit. The continuity circuit works by allowing a very small current
to flow from each the sensor, through the water, to ground when the tip of the sensor is in water. When no water is present, the
circuit is broken and no current flows. Normally, the pump provides the ground reference needed for the continuity circuit to work,
but occasionally it won’t. A
Flashing LED and audible alarm indicates a weak ground reference
. When this happens, it is nec-
essary to provide a ground reference for the sensor to work.
