The Remote Alarm System should be tested after installation.
Test for the water sensor: Place the tips of the water sensor in
water and observe the receiver. If the zone indicator lights up
and the transmitter "chirps", the sensor-transmitter is operating
properly.
Test for RF signal: Press the “TEST/LOW BATT.” button for 5
seconds to emit the RF signal. If the zone light on the receiver
lights and the alarm on the receiver sounds, the system is
operating properly.
The zone light will change to flashing if another zone has been
triggered.
The receiver should be placed in a convenient location that is commonly
occupied. This will allow for quick reaction times in case of an
emergency. Each of the sensors should be placed in close proximity
to areas of high water usage (i.e. Hot Water Heater, Washing Machine,
Sinks, etc.) and can be mounted with a suction cup on the bottom. Doing
so will offer the most accurate readings and fast alert times in the event
