4. PLACEMENT:
The ood alarm is designed to be placed on the oor near to possible leaks.
NOTE: If you place the ood
alarm in places where a potential
water leak / ood can rise higher
than 2cm, there is a risk of your
ood alarm beeing damaged. In
these places we recommend wall
mounting base with probe.

NOTE: The wall mounting base with probe is an
accessory option for the ood alarm. It must be
purchased separately.
For installation in basements with risk of ooding
or areas with difcult accessibility.
Place the ood alarm base on the wall and the
probe on the oor.
Make sure that the probe reaches required level
either to the ground or down the drain.
