ELK-319WA Water Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The ELK-319WA is a Supervised, Wireless Water Sensor
designed so that the transmitter mounts on a wall or other at
vertical surface, and the remote probe is placed in the location
where water leakage is most probable.
Moisture forming a bridge between the two metallic contacts
on a remote probe is all that is needed for the unit to signal
an alarm condition. The output on the ELK-319WA will remain
in alarm state until the moisture bridge is broken. As sensitive
as the water sensor is, it will not alarm due to high humidity
or condensation. The ELK-319WA is ideal for use in homes,
o󰀩ces, computer rooms, warehouses, etc.
Note: The ELK-319WA water sensor is not a self- contained
warning sensor device. For proper operation, it must be used
in conjunction with a compatible learn-mode 319.5 MHz alarm
control panel. This sensor is compatible with Elk’s 319MHz
Receivers/Panels as well as many other panels that operate
on the 319.5MHz Frequency and adhere to the ITI/Interlogix
protocol.
FEATURES
• Water detection when liquid makes contact with probe
• Contacts above oor level to prevent false oor
condensation detection
• Checks for water constantly, requires two positive
checks for a valid alarm
• Battery checked every hour
• Batteries (2) CR2032
• Tamper Switch: Located inside transmitter

Alarm Restore, Low Battery
Operating
Temp Range: 32° to 122°F (-40° to 60° C)
Dimensions Transmitter: 2.71” H x .95” W x .56” D
Probe: .7” W x 1.77” L x .38” D

INSTALLATION
When mounting the wireless device make sure it is not
mounted on metal or where there are any large metal
objects between the device and the control panel, this can
be tested prior to or after installation.
Mounting the probe to a vertical surface like a wall enables
you to monitor an area for rising water levels. Use where
ever unwanted water may accumulate. Suggested areas
near: water heater, washing machines, under sinks, and
sump pumps.
MOUNTING
The ELK-319WA consists of a water probe with a 6’ cable
attaching it to the transmitter.
Mount the transmitter as high as possible, using supplied
double sided tape.
Probe mounts directly to the oor or can be attached to a wall
using tape or screws.

PROGRAMMING (ENROLLMENT)
The following is a general guideline for programming (enrolling)
a sensor into the receiver or panel. For more extensive
instructions please refer to the receiver or panel instructions.
1. Place panel into the Program mode.
2. Proceed to the WIRELESS SETUP menu.
3. Select the appropriate zone/sensor location number.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor for learning:
• Remove sensor cover and
remove battery pull tabs to
power up the sensor. Press
and release the tamper
plunger.
• The panel should
acknowledge the sensor
has been learned by keypad
display and/or audio alert
(depending on the panel). If
enrollment fails try pressing
and releasing the tamper
plunger a second time.
In some cases it may be
necessary to remove and
reinstall the batteries.
5. Repeat the above process for any additional wireless
sensors. Proceed to the zone programming to assign each
sensor’s zone denition.
NOTE: Loop assignment must be set for “ 2 “ for ELK M1 & E27 Controls
6. Exit programming mode when nished.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment o󰀨 and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit di󰀨erent from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

licence standard RSS (s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux
deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer
d’interférences et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence,
y compris celles pouvant causer un mauvais fonctionnement de
l’appareil.
In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radio
frequency elds, the radiating element shall be installed such that
a minimum separation distance of 20 cm is maintained from the
general population.

working properly, the detector will activate the warning device
to which it is connected within approximately three seconds.
The detector will reset automatically when the probe dries and
there is no longer a water bridge between the two metallic
contact points.

Low Battery trouble will be transmitted when the sensor battery
needs to be replaced.
NOTE: Replace both (2) batteries within 7 days following
a low battery trouble indication.
• Remove the cover from the sensor.
• Carefully slide out the old batteries.
• Observe Polarity shown on the lithium coin-cell battery
and slide two (2) new batteries into the holders with the
positive “+” side facing UP away from the circuit board.
CAUTION: Use only approved 3.0VDC Lithium Battery:
Panasonic CRT2-32, Energizer CR2032, or Duracell
