Description of Operation

The Versa'larm is powered by 120 VAC coming from standard wall outlets and is transformed to 9-11 VDC.
Installing a 9 volt battery provides battery backup.
When a switch (signaling device) contact "closes" the buzzer and alarm light will turn "on" and the built in auxiliary
contacts will be activated. The signaling device could be a control duty float switch (e.g. Unimax™) or a water
sensor (e.g. WaterSpotter™, WaterSpotter™ Probe, Alderon Temperature Switch).
Pressing the "silence" switch deactivates the buzzer. When the alarm is remedied, the system automatically
resets itself.
