The monitoring system consists of two (2) parts: the sensor and the monitor. The sensor must be installed on the FLOOD-GATE® valve in accordance with instructions and the monitor should be installed on a wall where the audible alarm and/or the visual alarm will be noticed.
The installation of the sensor consists of mounting the sensor to the top of the valve cover with the two 1 1/4” and two 5/8” self-tapping screws provided. Once this is accomplished and the sensor has been mounted properly to the valve cover the rod should penetrate the hole in the top of the valve cover with the sensor being approximately 1 1/2” offset of the hole.
Attach the sensor wire to alarm using the screw terminals without active external power source. (Do not apply power) Route the cable from the sensor to the alarm. Using a Phillips head screwdriver attach the sensor power cord to the screw terminals located on the base of the alarm, disregarding wire color. Screw the alarm to your location on the wall using the mounting flange located at the base of the alarm.
The FLOOD-GATE® alarm operates on one (1) 9-volt battery (not provided) and/or the provided 120 V A/C power cord.
The alarm/monitoring system is now operational. Proper operation can be verified using the test procedure included with the Flood-Gate® alarm option. When the valve closes, the audible and visual alarm should activate.
