Installation
Supplies Required:
•
Teflon tape or pipe sealant
•
Black, white and green AWG 18 minimum wire to connect alarm to
electric power supply
•
1/2" conduit and 1/2" x 3/4" adapter bushing for electric power supply
wiring
Step 1: Install the flow switch in the water supply
line
NOTE: The flow switch will attach to the mounted alarm via a 6-foot or
12-foot waterproof cable. Keep the location for mounting the alarm in
mind when choosing the flow switch location.
1. Choose a location for mounting the flow switch in a horizontal run of
the water supply line. The inlet and outlet ports of the flow switch must
be a minimum of 6 inches from any tees or elbows in the water supply
line.
2. Mount the flow switch assembly in the water supply line.
• The switch body must be in the vertical position with the water pipe
horizontal.
• The water flow must be in the direction marked by the arrow on the
flow switch body.
• Use teflon tape or pipe sealant (supplied by installer) on all water
pipe connections.
Step 2: Mount alarm assembly to unit
NOTE: Point the alarm speaker in the direction from which help is most
likely to come.
1. Choose a location for mounting the alarm assembly. The alarm should
be mounted at least 7 feet above ground level for best visibility.
• The alarm may be mounted directly to the drench shower piping
using the supplied U-bolts and nuts.
• The alarm can also be bolted to a flat surface such as a wall
(hardware for this type of installation is NOT supplied).
Step 3: Connect alarm to flow switch
1. Connect the flow switch to the alarm by plugging the prewired cable
into the socket provided in the flow switch junction box. The plug and
socket have an alignment pin and groove which makes for error-free
hook-up.
NOTE: To prevent water condensation from dripping onto the flow switch,
make sure the cable is not taut.
2. Tighten the locking collar on the female cable socket by rotating it
clockwise after plugging in. This makes a good watertight connection.
Step 4: Complete electrical supply connections
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the two 5/64" hex screws located on the
sides of the alarm horn casing.
2. Run electric power conduit (and 3/4" x 1/2" adapter, if necessary) and
AWG 18 minimum power wire into the hole in the bottom of the alarm
horn casing.
NOTE: Compliance and conformity to local codes and ordinances is the
responsibility of the installer.
3. There are three wires inside the alarm horn casing for power supply
connections—two for power and one for ground. Using two wire nuts,
connec black to black and white to white. Ground as required.
4. Replace the front grille onto the alarm horn casing being sure the
prong plugs (that are part of the front grille) line up with the socket
slots inside the casing. Tighten the two 5/64" hex screws. Test the
alarm system.
