Dorlen SS-2100 Water Alert User manual

Instructions for
Model SS-2100 Water Alert ®
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Refer to Figure 1. The SS-2100 is activated by liquid bridging the adjustable sensors (A & A). The unit can
detect water lm from zero height, (sensors turned out to make contact with the oor), to 1/8" height, (sensors
turned all the way in). The units are factory adjusted to activate with 1/32" water lm height which is satisfactory
for most applications. The pads B1, B2, B3 provide a gap between the case and the surface to admit water
under the unit for detection. CAUTION: If the pads are removed, the unit may form a seal with the surface and
prohibit the sensors from detecting water. If desired, the self-adhesive pad feature may be used by peeling o
the thin protective layer from each pad. The unit will remain in place when located on the mounting surface.
Replacement pads are available from Dorlen at no charge.
NOTE
Although the two sensors (A & A) may be adjusted to make contact with the surface, it is recommended
that a small gap be set between the sensors and the surface so undesired activation, caused by damp-
ness or dirt lm, does not occur.

SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust sensor height, hold straight edge across
pads (B1 & B2). Turn sensors (A & A) till distance
to straight edge equals the desired water detection
level. See Figure 2.
Connect the 3 Water Alert pigtail leads to the 3
conductor cable connecting to the terminal strips of
the Monitor. (Run cable thru 1/4" hole in Water Alert
housing.) The green pigtail (signal) goes to terminal
"G", of the Monitor, the black pigtail (common) goes
to terminal "B", and the red pigtail (power) goes to
terminal "R".
IMPORTANT: When connecting leads with wire nuts,
twist the leads together, then screw on wire nuts for
a tight mechanical connection. Tuck leads neatly
into the unit.

Test unit by touching wet ngers to both sensors.
The buzzer should sound, and remote monitor should
activate.
Position unit in desired location and retest it by placing
wet ngers across the heads of two screws on which
the sensors are mounted.
When activated, the unit will produce a signal that is
on for 2-3 seconds and o for 10-15 seconds.
To stop the signal shake the entire unit to break the
water bridge between the sensors. Dry o the sen-
sors if they are excessively wet.
