Water Sensor

The water sensor is designed to warn you of a potential flood. If you are installing it in the sump pit, it must to be installed between the basement floor and the primary float switch. If there is a failure with either the main pump or the plumbing system, the water level will rise past the primary float switch and activate the water sensor. When the water sensor is activated, it will trigger a warning light, an audible alarm, and the remote terminal on the controller.

This water sensor is only designed to give you a warning of a potential problem; it will not activate the primary pump.

Installing the Water Sensor

The water sensor should be mounted near the top of the pit or where it is appropriate for your installation (see diagram). Attach the water sensor very securely with the included plastic wire tie. Be sure the water sensor is positioned vertically with the mounting bracket at the top. Plug the water sensor into the bottom of the controller. Do not tilt the water sensor. Do not position the water sensor on the side of the discharge pipe facing the drain tile or any incoming rush of water.

Testing the Water Sensor

Lift up the float on the water sensor with your fingers. As long it is up, the high water alarm warning light and the audible alarm should be on. When the float is down, the warning light and audible alarm will turn off.

Maintenance

Each time the high water alarm is activated it must be cleaned and retested to ensure it is working properly.
