EN1751 Water Detector
Installation Instructions

Overview

The EN1751 water detector provides affordable early warning against damage caused by leaking appliances and standing water when used with the Honeywell® FP280 or compatible probes from Flair Electronics®, sold separately. The EN1751 water detector sends a primary alarm (alarm 1) to indicate the presence of water, and a secondary and tertiary alarm (alarm 2 and alarm 3) to indicate other fault conditions described in section 4, “Operation” on page 2.

Mount the Probe
The Inovonics EN1751 water detector is used with the Honeywell FP280 or Flair Electronics® 1010-H2OS36-EN1751 probe. To mount the external probe:

1. Trim the probe wiring to the desired length.

2. Route the probe wiring through either the rectangular back wiring cutouts on the back of the housing and bracket, or through the rounded top wiring cutout at the top of the housing.
   Note: If you want to use the cutout at the top of the housing, you will need to trim the bracket.

3. Use a small screwdriver to attach the probe wiring leads to the power terminal block.

4. Mount the probe per manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Press the reset button to complete configuration.

Select the Frequency Band
EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and is shipped from Inovonics set for your geographic area.

• The jumper will be set on the two pins marked NZ to set the frequency range to 921-928 MHz for New Zealand.

• The jumper will be set on the two pins marked AU to set the frequency range to 915-928 MHz for Australia.

• The jumper will be removed to set the frequency band to 902-928 MHz for North America.

  1. Ensure the frequency band is set for your geographic are.
     If the frequency band is not set for your geographic area, place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection pins to select Australia or New Zealand, or remove it for North America.

  2. If you have changed the frequency band, press the reset button to complete configuration.

Caution: When pressing the reset button, make sure you don’t also touch the frequency band selection pins. Touching the frequency band selection pins while pressing the reset button can inadvertently set the single input universal transmitter to the wrong frequency band.

Register the EN1751 Water Detector
The EN1751 water detector must be registered with the system in order to be monitored and supervised. Refer to the receiver installation instructions for details on registering a transmitter.

1. When prompted by the receiver to reset transmitter, press the reset button.
2. Replace the cover.

Mount the EN1751 Water Detector

1. Attach the mounting bracket to the desired location, using the included screws or double-sided tape.
   Note: There are two mounting holes for standard installation. An optional third mounting hole is located under the battery. Use the third mounting hole to secure the housing to the bracket.

2. Hook the bottom of the EN1751 water detector into the bracket’s bottom catch, and press the EN1751 into the bracket so that the bracket’s top lip snaps into place.

3. Use staples or tape to secure the wiring between the EN1751 water detector and the probe.

4. Test the EN1751 and probe per section 3, “Testing the EN1751 Water Detector”.

Testing the EN1751 Water Detector

The EN1751 water detector should be tested weekly and after registration to ensure operation.
To test the EN1751 water detector:

1. Inspect to ensure both the EN1751 and probe are securely mounted and the wiring is still secured.

2. Submerge the probe in 1/4” of non-distilled water and ensure an appropriate response.
   When testing has completed, you will need to reset the EN1751. To reset the EN1751:

3. Remove the EN1751 water detector from the mounting bracket.

4. Use your thumb to depress the housing release tab on the bottom of the transmitter; separate the housing.

5. Press the reset button.

6. Replace the housing and return the transmitter to the mounting bracket.

Operation

The primary alarm, alarm 1, is sent when the EN1751 detects water; the other two alarms, alarm 2 and alarm 3, as well as the tamper message, are sent in the following cases:

will be sent.

Note: If an alarm 1 message is sent and no water is present, inspect the wiring at the probe terminal block to ensure that there is no short.
Note: The EN1751 water detector cannot reliably detect frozen water.
