Frequently Asked Questions - WA-5 Protector

What to do if the alarm does not turn off with the RESET button?

The alarm cannot be turned off as long as water is detected. Unplug the detector and let the sensor dry. You can also disassemble the sensor and dry it with a dry cloth.

No alarm triggers even when the electrodes are immersed.

Check the contact of the ring terminals with the sensor cable. Clean the electrodes with fine sandpaper or a fiberglass brush.

How to adjust the alarm volume?

Use the volume button (10) on the side of the device. It offers 3 levels: MIN, MED, MAX.

Can I shorten the sensor cable?

Yes, you can cut the cable to the desired length. First unplug the detector, then strip the wires about 5 mm and use the supplied ring terminals.

How does the function selector work?

The selector (11) allows choosing whether a connected device should be turned ON or OFF upon water detection.

Can I use this water detector outdoors?

No, this detector is only approved for indoor use.

What to do if the device does not detect water?

Check that the electrodes are clean and the cable is properly connected. Test by passing the electrodes under running water.

Is the device covered by warranty?

Yes, the product comes with a limited 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, subject to proper use and no unauthorized modifications.

What is the maximum power I can connect?

The maximum power of the connected device is 2000 W.

How to reset the detector after an alarm?

Briefly press the RESET button (3) once the sensor is no longer in contact with water. The alarm LED turns off and the device is ready.

Thank you for purchasing the WA-5 water detector. Please read these operating instructions through carefully before initial operation of the device and retain them for any later use.

This water detector is used to switch connected devices (to a maximum of 2000 watts) ON or OFF as soon as the sensor comes into contact with water. Once the water detector has detected water an alarm also sounds.

This water detector is only authorised for indoor use and may not be arranged successively.

Scope of delivery

OPERATION

Insert a water detector into a suitable mains socket and connect any device you wish to protect into the socket on the water detector.

Use the slider on the side (11) to select whether a connected device should be switched ON or OFF. As soon as the water detector detects water an alarm will sound for approx. 2 minutes and the socket will switch ON or OFF in accordance with this selector switch. The alarm LED and the socket can only be cancelled using the RESET button. To do this press the button briefly once after the sensor is no longer in contact with water. Then the device can detect water again.

The POWER LED (5) shows whether the socket on the water detector is conducting electricity (LED lights up) or is switched off (LED not lit).

You should check the water detector for function at regular intervals. To do this submerge the sensor electrodes (9) briefly in tap water. If no alarm sounds see the section 'malfunction'.

MOUNTING

The sensor can be opened by removing the screw (7). There is a small hole (13) on the back of the sensor so that the sensor can be mounted at its

location using a small screw. You should select the mounting location in such a way that any water can be detected as quickly as possible. The two sensor electrodes (9) should be just above the floor.

Adjusting the sensor cable (figures 2 + 3)

NOTE: disconnect the water detector from the socket before shortening the cable.

If the sensor cable is too long then you can shorten the cable as necessary. To do this you will need the supplied ring cable lug, a small Philips screwdriver and pliers (e.g. combination pliers).

First remove the casing screw (7) using the screwdriver and remove the lid from the sensor. The two electrode screws are now exposed and you can remove these also. Caution, the electrodes are then also released.

Use the pliers to shorten the cable and ensure that you do not cut too much off. Remove the outer insulation at the point of cutting to a length of approx. 15 mm and the insulation on the wires to approx. 5 mm, measured from the cut point. Push a ring cable lug onto one of the two exposed wires and then pinch the back of the ring cable lug together using the pliers. Alternatively the wires can also be soldered to the cable lugs.

SETTINGS

Function selector switch (11)

Use this selector switch to set whether a connected

device is to be switched ON or OFF. Slide the switch to the OFF setting (crossed out socket) in order to switch a connected device off if the sensor electrodes (9) come into contact with water. The water detector switches the connected device on when the selector is set to ON.

Alarm volume switch (10)

Use this switch to set the volume of the alarm to one of 3 levels. MAX is the highest setting and MIN is the lowest setting.

RESET button (3)

Press the RESET button briefly in order to cancel the alarm after water has been detected.

MALFUNCTION

Alarm cannot be switched off using the RESET button

If it is not possible to deactivate the alarm using this button then it is still detecting water. This can happen, for example, if water has penetrated the sensor. In this event remove the water detector from the socket and allow the sensor to dry. You can also dismantle the sensor and then dry it with a dry cloth.

No alarm although both sensor electrodes are submerged in water

1. Sensor electrodes have no contact to the sensor cable > check the pinch on the ring cable lug.

2. Sensor electrodes are contaminated > clean the sensor electrodes, e.g. with fine sandpaper or a glass fibre eraser.
