possible leaks.
• Install next to washing machine, dishwasher,
under-sink cabinet or in the cellar.
• Install in basements.
Place the alarm where it is reachable in order
to test the battery.
3. AREAS WHERE NOT TO INSTALL FLOOD
ALARMS:
• On the ceiling.
• On the wall (unless using accessory wall
mounting base, see section 5).
• In rooms where temperature goes outside
0°C to 40°C.
Place the alarm where it is reachable in order

4. PLACEMENT:
The flood alarm is designed to be placed on the
floor near to possible leaks.
NOTE:
If you place the flood alarm in places
where a potential water leak / flood can rise higher
than 2cm, there is a risk of your flood alarm being

The alarm effected by the low battery will only beep,
no other connected alarms will sound.
It is safe to change batteries in the alarms without
going through the learn process again – they will
not forget the codes during the battery change
process.

5. ACCESSORY WALL MOUNTING BASE WITH
PROBE:

The wall mounting base with probe is an
accessory option for the flood alarm. It must be
purchased separately.

or areas with diffcult accessibility.

probe on the floor.
Make sure that the probe reaches required level
either to the ground or down the drain.
Installation with adhesive tape:
1. Choose a suitable spot. Make sure that the
mounting area is stable, dry and free of dust and
grease. Check that the surface is flat. Once
assembled the Mounting base cannot be removed
or repositioned.
2. Attach the alarm into the socket. Make sure that
the alarm has been f tted into the socket properly be-
fore you start sticking it to the wall.
3. Remove the protective Foil from the adhesive tape.
4. Mount the socket with the attached alarm to the
wall by applying light pressure.
5. Test the alarm according to the users guide of your
alarm.
Note: When attached or detaching the alarm from
the socket always make sure to secure the socket by
holding onto the socket.
6.
TEST FUNCTION:
After installation, and at least once per quarter,
test all of your alarms to ensure they are
operating correctly and are within range of
each other.
It is recommended to check visually every week if
the LED flashes correctly (every 48sec.).
Press the test button on any alarm for 2 sweeps of
alarm signal 1 (--- --- ---) - Please refer to section 8.
This will send out a test signal from the alarm; all other
connected alarms should receive the signal within a
short time. The alarms will emit a short beep and the
LED will flash every 8 seconds for 2 minutes.
NOTE: Test function also allows to send a depleted
RF signal to ensure an optimal operation in normal
conditions.
When the test signal is sent out, the alarms will
respond by:
A single beep every 8 seconds to indicate that the
alarms are connected and functioning.
If required this indication can be stopped early on
each alarm by a short press of the test button
TIP:
It is safe to cover the sound output hole with
your finger during the testing to minimize the
sound level emitted.
Test of the water leak function:
To test the water leak function, place the flood
alarm on a wet cloth and it should go into alarm.
7.
NORMAL MODE:
In normal mode the LED will flash every 48 seconds
to show correct operation.
8.
ALARM MODE:
Flood alarm condition is indicated by a series of
repeated tones.
The flood alarm will also transmit the alarm signal to
the other connected alarms, which will also sound
the alarm signal after a short delay.
The Family have two different alarm signals:
Alarm signal 1 (--- --- ---) is life threatening
alarms, like a smoke alarm.
Alarm signal 2
(- - -) is a non life threatening
alarm, like a flooding alarm.
Smoke alarm signal: --- --- ---
Heat alarm signal: --- --- ---
Flood alarm signal: - - -
Please note that only the originating alarm’s LED
will flash, so it can be identifed.
9.
PAUSE/HUSH FUNCTION:
Flood alarm can be paused for 10 minutes by
pressing the test button on the originating alarm
only (indicated by the fashing LED, and after 10
minutes goes back to normal function).
The reason that you can not pause the other alarms,
only the originating alarm, is for your own safety. It is
necessary to locate the source of the alarm to make
sure that it is not a situation that needs your attention.
