FD-1
WATER FLOOD DETECTOR
The FD-1 detector senses the presence of water leaks or flooding in rooms with plumbing.
This manual applies to the detector with electronics version 1.4 (or newer).
1. Features
External flood sensor.
Supply voltage control.
LED indicator.
Tamper protection against cover removal and tearing enclosure from the wall.
2. Description
The alarm is triggered approximately 4 seconds after the water level
reaches the height at which the flood sensor electrodes are installed.
During the alarm condition the relay contacts are open and the LED
is ON. The alarm ends a few seconds after the water level drops
below the height at which the flood sensor electrodes are installed.
Supply voltage control
In the event of a prolonged voltage drop below 9 V (±5%), the
detector will signal a trouble. The trouble is indicated by the
activation of alarm relay and the steady light of LED indicator. The
trouble signaling will continue as long as the trouble persists.
