Installation Instruction

Warning: Do not use the device outside!

Sensor installation

The sensor reacts to water contact at the two metal contacts.

The assembly height of the sensor defines, at what level the water detector will sound an alarm.

For quick warning in case of water

ingress, you mount the sensor close to the floor, so both sensor contacts touch the ground.

For installing the sensor use the provided assembly material.

Startup

The SHT 216 water detector just has to be plugged into the socket (230 V AC / 50-60 Hz). Connect the power plug of the washing machine or dish washer to the earthed socket of the SHT 216. The locking of the power plug helps to avoid unintended removal of the device plug. The LED (Function) lights up green and signals that the device is ready for use.

Alarm

As soon as the sensor has contact with water, an acoustic and an optic alarm signal sounds. The LED lights up red. The device connected is deactivated. The alarm remains active until Aquastop SHT 216 is disconnected from the power line and the water doesn't contact the sensor any more.

Function Test

Function test of the device: touch both sensor contacts with a waterlogged cloth or an electric conductive metal and the alarm is set off immediately.

The device connected is deactivated. The alarm is deactivated as soon as you briefly disconnect Aquastop SHT 216 from the power line and remove the cloth from the metal contacts.

For your safety, we recommend that you carry out this test constantly! Appropriate use

The water detector SHT 217 (pump control) is a device for detecting water level changes and for monitoring sump shafts. When the sensor gets in contact with water, an audible and/or visual alarm signal is raised and a pump connected is activated. The follow-up time of the pump can be adjusted to a value between 0 and 100 seconds using the thumb wheel. The device may only be used as previously described.

Installation Instruction

The device is not approved for use other than described above. For pump sumps we recommend the SHT 227 or 228 water detectors.

Sensor installation

The sensor reacts to water contact at the two metal contacts.

The mounting position of the sensor defines when the pump should be activated by the device SHT 217 (figure 1).

(figure 2)(figure 1)

Startup

The SHT 217 water detector just has to be plugged into the socket (230 V AC / 50-60 Hz). Connect the power plug of the pump to the earthed socket of the SHT 217. The locking of the power plug helps to avoid unintended removal of the device plug. The LED (Function) lights up green and signals that the device is ready for use.

The follow-up time of the pump can be adjusted steplessly to a value between 0 and 100 seconds using the thumb wheel on the back of the device (figure 2).

After triggering the alarm, the set follow-up time only becomes active once the water level has fallen beneath the level of the water sensor during pumping down.

When setting the follow-up time please note that the pump doesn't idle after pumping down the water. This can cause damage to the pump.

Alarm

As soon as the sensor has contact with water, an acoustic and an optic alarm signal sounds. The LED lights up red. The LED illuminates in red in the process and at the same time the pump connected is activated. If the water level falls beneath the level of the water sensor the LED flashes in red and the set follow-up time of the pump is activated. Once the follow-up time elapsed the pump is deactivated and the LED illuminates in green.

Function test

Functional test of the device: You can test the function of the system by filling the sump shaft with water.

For your safety, we recommend that you carry out this test constantly!
