The EC declaration of conformity as well as the original
Honeywell operating instructions are also included in the
set.

Remark:
The terminal connections of the Honeywell DCP917S
converter supplied in the set are not available in the

These wire connections have been replaced by an internally
fixed and strain-relieved I/O cable to provide a simple and
secure connection to the FlowTimer+ without wiring and
expertise.

3 Intended Use
Please observe the notes in this operating manual as well as the
operating conditions and permissible data in the data sheet so that
the system functions perfectly and remains operational for a long
time. In case of non-observance of these instructions as well as in
case of inadmissible interventions into the system, any liability on
our part is void, as is the warranty on the system and accessories!
The FlowTimer+ Sound Set consists of a pre-wired battery-
operated transmitter and wireless receiver.
Three minutes before the set maximum flow time of the FlowTimer+
is reached, an acoustic and optical signal is emitted by the wireless
receiver at short intervals.
If after this system pre-alarm the water flow is interrupted for
approx. 40 seconds, the pre-alarm stops and water can be
removed again for the previously set flow duration.
Any other use or use going beyond this shall be deemed improper
use. The usetech GmbH is not liable for damages resulting from
this. The risk is borne solely by the user.

Intended Use
03/19 FlowTimer+ Sound Set 7
3.1 Non-approved use
Unapproved use in the sense of a foreseeable misuse shall be
deemed to be improper use:
The I/O connection cable (17) of the converter (1) is only suitable
for connection to the FlowTimer+.
No telephones, ISDN, other devices or adapters may be
connected.

5 Installation
5.1 Mounting of converter and wireless gong
If necessary, use the original Honeywell mounting material supplied
to attach the converter or wireless gong.
The components must not be mounted over heat sources. Do not
mount the parts on a metal surface, as this can impair the wireless
connection.
Before final assembly, test whether the wireless range is sufficient.
For this reason, first go through the entire operation (see Chapter
6) and test the wireless connection in accordance with Chapter 6.3.
5.2 Electrical connection
Plug the connector of the wireless converter I/O cable (17) into
the I/O connector of the FlowTimer+ used.
If the I/O plug is plugged into the socket, this must cause
a clicking noise. If not, please check again whether the
plug is correctly engaged!
When disconnecting connections, please note to press
the locking lugs of the I/O connectors!

Installation

included in the set.
For additional information, please refer to the operating
instructions of the respective accessories.
