ELK-319WA Water Sensor

DESCRIPTION

The ELK-319WA is a Supervised, Wireless Water Sensor
designed so that the transmitter mounts on a wall or other flat
vertical surface, and the remote probe is placed in the location
where water leakage is most probable.
Moisture forming a bridge between the two metallic contacts
on a remote probe is all that is needed for the unit to signal
an alarm condition. The output on the ELK-319WA will remain
in alarm state until the moisture bridge is broken. As sensitive
as the water sensor is, it will not alarm due to high humidity
or condensation. The ELK-319WA is ideal for use in homes,
offices, computer rooms, warehouses, etc.
Note: The ELK-319WA water sensor is not a self- contained
warning sensor device. For proper operation, it must be used
in conjunction with a compatible learn-mode 319.5 MHz alarm
control panel. This sensor is compatible with Elk's 319MHz
Receivers/Panels as well as many other panels that operate
on the 319.5MHz Frequency and adhere to the ITI/Interlogix
protocol.

FEATURES

• Water detection when liquid makes contact with probe
• Contacts above floor level to prevent false floor
condensation detection
• Checks for water constantly, requires two positive
checks for a valid alarm
• Battery checked every hour
• Batteries (2) CR2032
• Tamper Switch: Located inside transmitter

INSTALLATION

When mounting the wireless device make sure it is not
mounted on metal or where there are any large metal
objects between the device and the control panel, this can
be tested prior to or after installation.
Mounting the probe to a vertical surface like a wall enables
you to monitor an area for rising water levels. Use where
ever unwanted water may accumulate. Suggested areas
near: water heater, washing machines, under sinks, and
sump pumps.

MOUNTING

The ELK-319WA consists of a water probe with a 6' cable
attaching it to the transmitter.
Mount the transmitter as high as possible, using supplied
double sided tape.
6' Cable
Probe mounts directly to the floor or can be attached to a wall
using tape or screws.

PROGRAMMING (ENROLLMENT)

The following is a general guideline for programming (enrolling)
a sensor into the receiver or panel. For more extensive
instructions please refer to the receiver or panel instructions.
1. Place panel into the Program mode.
2. Proceed to the WIRELESS SETUP menu.
3. Select the appropriate zone/sensor location number.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor for learning:
• Remove sensor cover and
remove battery pull tabs to
power up the sensor. Press
and release the tamper
plunger.
• The panel should
acknowledge the sensor
has been learned by keypad
display and/or audio alert
(depending on the panel). If
enrollment fails try pressing
and releasing the tamper
plunger a second time.
In some cases it may be
necessary to remove and
reinstall the batteries.
5. Repeat the above process for any additional wireless
sensors. Proceed to the zone programming to assign each
sensor's zone definition.
NOTE: Loop assignment must be set for " 2 " for ELK M1 & E27 Controls
6. Exit programming mode when finished.
