Press to store NOTE: All WG1 panels leave the factory with a default setting of 1 pulse. This means that only 10 litres of water will pass through the water meters before an alarm is given. The amount of water allowed through the meters before an alarm must be increased by setting the Hi Guard figure to more than 1 (see page 10).
Page 10
NOTE: When the unit is first powered live, the default setting is 1 pulse. If the building is occupied and water is being drawn, the WG1 will go into alarm. It is not possible to set the Hi Guard figure to a higher one if water is being run off when in the Guard Menu section.
