1-3100 SERIES ELECTRONIC SENSOR
REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
(Only applies to 1-3122 & 1-3132 models)
Step 1:
(See Figures 1 & 4)
Remove the white sensor adaptor from primary
bucket and pull sensor to grade. Be careful not to
damage sensor.
Step 2:
Ensure that the old sensor is not functional. Test the
sensor by flipping it over and checking for an alarm.
Alternate test method: Dip the sensor in a cup of
water and check for an alarm.
Step 3:
Near the old sensor, cut the sensor wire. Discard
the old sensor.
Step 4:
(See Figure 1)
Verify that the factory installed loop in the sensor
wire is 10-
1/2” tall from the bottom of the sensor to
the top of the loop as shown in Figure 1. Cut new
sensor wire 2 feet from the sensor loop.
Note: Splice is to be installed no closer than 2 feet
from the sensor loop.
Note: At least 4 feet of wire should be between the
sensor and the grommet.
Step 5:
(See Figure 2)
Remove the end caps from the splice kit barrel.
Cut the tip off of one of the cones on each of the end
caps so that the end cap will fit snugly around the
sensor wiring.
Figure 2
Step 6:
(See Figure 3)
Insert the new sensor wire through the hole in one of
the end caps and the existing sensor wire (coming in
thru the secondary base) through the hole in the
other end cap and slide the end caps out of the way.
Slide barrel and sleeve onto the sensor wire and
slide out of the way as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
Step 7:
Using the included wire nuts, join the wires per the
sensor manufacturer’s instructions. Using the
included split bolt, securely fasten the two wire ends
together.
Step 8:
Center the barrel and sleeve over the splice and
slide end caps onto the barrel.
Step 9:
Warm the included compound to at least 60° F (15°
C). As shown in the compound mixing instructions,
break the center barrier in compound bag by
grasping the sides of the bag and rolling thumbs
through the barrier. Thoroughly mix the compound,
being sure to strip the compound from the corners
while mixing.
Step 10:
Cut one corner off of bag and pour the compound
through the opening in the barrel until completely
full.
Step 11:
Close the barrel by centering the sleeve over the
hole in the barrel and rotating the sleeve around the
barrel until the hole is completely covered
Step 12:
Test the sensor by flipping it over and checking for
an alarm. Alternate test method: Dip the sensor in a
cup of water and check for an alarm.
Step 13:
(See Figures 1 & 4)
Wait at least 5 minutes then feed the splice kit and
excess wire into the secondary bucket. Align sensor
with the hole in the primary base where the sensor
adaptor will be installed as shown in Figures 1 & 4.
Ensure sensor is as flat as possible on bottom of
secondary base. Inspect o-ring on sensor adaptor
replace if it is not in good condition. Thread sensor
adaptor back into primary bucket until o-ring is no
longer visible (approximately 6 turns), do not
overtighten.
Step 14:
Test bucket as indicated in Step 9 of Installation
Instructions.
