Flooding caused by taps left running unattended, a blocked toilet or a leaking pipe can mean costly repair bills and potentially create dangerous conditions that could result in a slip or a fall or damp related health conditions. Once installed in the bathroom or kitchen, the flood detector will provide an early warning of a possible flood situation before it causes extensive damage to carpets, décor and electrical equipment.
Positioning
The flood detector can be placed on the floor below the wash basin or kitchen
sink, or in the bathroom near the toilet or alongside the bath. It can be left
free-standing or fixed to the skirting board with the screw or self-adhesive
pad provided.
Alarm Condition
An alarm will be raised when water on the floor bridges the two contacts on
the underside of the flood detector. IMPORTANT: following an alarm the flood
detector should be removed from the affected area until the carpet or flooring
is thoroughly dried.
Low Battery Condition
A low battery condition will be reported automatically to the Alarm Receiving
Centre (ARC) or the local Manager. Once a low battery call is received the
flood detector should be replaced within 30 days. Flood detectors can be
returned to Tynetec for battery replacement.
Out of Range Notification (Reach IP/NOVO)
The Reach IP/NOVO can monitor all radio peripheral devices to determine
whether they have been damaged or removed from an installation.
Should the Reach IP/NOVO be unable to detect a device’s heartbeat it will
automatically generate a “radio out of range” notification. Firstly,
investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the alert, if not, arrange for the
peripheral device to be replaced immediately.
The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30 hours to 99999 hours in CMP.
“Radio supervision” can be disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with
each peripheral device in CMP.
Maintenance
The flood detector can be cleaned with a damp cloth or an anti-bacterial wipe,
do not use solvents or cleaners.
Do not immerse in water.
Disposal
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household waste. The flood detector is ideally suited for disposal within the waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE)
recycling scheme. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for recycling/disposal advice.
