Uncle Albert's UAD-300 Quick Start Manual

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
The UA series of wireless devices represents the latest development in surface mount technology and design. Without the
need for wiring, water detection can now be placed almost anywhere it is needed. The UAD·300 auto-dialer receiver uses the
latest EEPROM computer technology, incorporated into an easy to install, attractive and functional package. The UAT1000
universal transmitter/sensor combination represents a significant breakthrough in sensing technology. With this unique
Patent-Pending circuit and its compact size the UAT1000 is easy to install, and requires very little maintenance. Sump pumps,
water heaters, washing machines, boats, basements, crawl spaces, aquariums.... the applications are endless.
You will find the following items in your new Water Alarm monitoring system package.
●
One UAD-300 auto-dialer/ receiver with adapter and 9 volt rechargeable battery
●
One UAT·1000 universal transmitter c/w battery
●
One 36" remote sensor
●
One 6 foot telephone cable and one 'Y" Splitter
●
One table mounting bracket
●
One set wall mounting hardware
Please make yourself familiar with the UAD300 before installing. Failure to do so can result in poor performance, false alarms and
possible damage to the system.
QUICK TEST INSTRUCTIONS.
Your UAD300 has been pretested at the factory. The UATWS1000 transmitter has been programmed and the battery installed. To
quickly test the system -
will hear one (1) long beep, and the green LED will flash. Touch the silver strips on the sensor with a damp cloth or finger and the
console will activate the siren. Press the CLR button and the console will reset. The console has now learned the
transmitter and is ready for use. This is a good time to move the UATWS1000 transmitter and console to their final location and
testing them again to be certain the radio signal will travel that distance. Once this is proven and you are confident it is working
properly you may then follow the instructions below to program the phone numbers and alarm message.
Trouble Shooting
Most problems experienced with this system are battery related. The battery used should measure 12 Volts using a volt meter. It is
helpful sometimes to clean the ends of a new battery with rubbing alcohol or even sanding them very lightly with a very fine sand
paper. Spinning the battery in the holder can also help it seat properly. When a good battery is installed the console should alarm
each time that you touch the two pin sockets on the transmitter. Now insert the water sensor plug into the pin jacks on the
transmitter and touch the silver water sensor pad which should again trigger the console. If the console alarms immediately upon
plugging the sensor in there may be oxidation on the silver sensor pad. Carefully clean the silver pad with rubbing alcohol and dry.
Occasionally oxidation builds up around the white striped wire solder connection on the pad (this is on the side that connects the
"uncle alberts water alarm" silver letters to the wire). This oxidation may be easily removed by carefully scraping with a fine
screwdriver. Once clean the console should alarm reliably each time that you touch the pad across the foil connections. Remember
that this system was designed to be very sensitive, so the smallest amount of moisture will trip the alarm. If the water sensor is to
be used to detect rising water such as a sump pit the foil pad may be cut off and ¼" of insulation stripped from the wire ends. The
wire ends may then be used to detect water by hanging them in the sump well above the water. The wire ends should be spread
½" or more apart to reduce the possibility of false alarms.
The UAD·300 Auto-Dialer Receiver:
1 Green LED: This LED goes "ON" to indicate that the unit has power. When the UAD·300 is in the "TEST" mode or the
"LEARNING" mode, this LED will flash.
Red LED: When the UAD·300 receives an alarm signal this LED will go "ON", the UAD·300 will start to dial, and this LED will
2
flash after the call has been answered.
Yellow LED: This LED is "ON" when you record a message, or if you play back a message. During installation this LED will
3
flash, indicating that no numbers or messages are stored in the UAD·300.
4 Key Pad: Allows you to program numbers and messages into the UAD·300.
Microphone: Speak here to record your messages
5
6 DC 12 Volt Jack: To plug in the NC Adapter.
Phone Jack: This connects the UAD·300 to your phone line.
7
8 Speaker Switch: This switch is located under the battery cover
on the UAD·300. II allows you to turn the internal speaker on and
off (see step 3; UAD·300 Auto Dialer Installation).
9 Auxiliary Outputs: These are for external options.
