Page 7: Product Overview
Multiple outputs Operation In operation, the EMS-01 continuously monitors the sensing equipment connected to it for both circuit integrity and the presence of water. If a leak is detected, an audible alarm is activated, an LED illuminated, and, if connected, the EMS will report its alarm status to any connected device (BMS/SMS/beacon, valve) via its volt free contacts. -

Trimmer Sensitivity Measure Figure 15: Rear of EMS-01 Showing Sensitivity and DIP Switch Settings 4.1 DIP Switch Settings DIP Switch setting changes take effect immediately unless the system is in a state of reporting a fault or leak (i.e. Cable Fault or Leak Mode), or is in Test or Engineering Mode (see Section 5). -
Page 19: Sensitivity Adjustment
Environmental Monitoring System (EMS-01) Instruction Manual 4.2 Sensitivity Adjustment A small flat-head screwdriver should be used to set potentiometer sensitivity. A digital multi- meter (DMM) is also required to measure sensitivity settings during adjustment. The unit sensitivity trimmer provides a means to control the set point at which alarms occur. This can be adjusted to prevent false triggering and manage temporary rises in humidity. -
Page 20: Operation
Configuration of DIP Switch settings will determine sounder, alarm delay, and relay latch activation during operating modes (see section 4.1). Once powered on, the EMS-01 Leak Detector maintains a background timing scheme while continuously monitoring sensor and sensitivity levels. The unit continuously monitors connected Aqualeak sensors to gather batches of data samples which are averaged over time to determine if a cable fault or leak has occurred. -

Environmental Monitoring System (EMS-01) Instruction Manual 5.4 Engineering Override Mode This mode is accessed in Fault or Alarm mode to override the system for a period of 24 hours. This is to allow water to dry out and to unlatch any latched relays (e.g. which may be holding off water via a solenoid valve). -
Page 23: System Testing
Environmental Monitoring System (EMS-01) Instruction Manual 5.6 System Testing For general testing, DIP switches 3 and 4 (Alarm delays) should be disabled. This is to prevent a 1 to 5-minute delay before alarms are raised (see section 4.1). Connect a dry sensor to the unit to prevent inadvertently triggering the alarm. For each of the four tests listed below it is assumed that the unit is powered on and in Monitor Mode (i.e. -
