Testing
Test your water leak detector regularly by shorting the two metal contacts (see Figure 6.2) with a metal object
(screwdriver or paper clip for example). If the device is dropped, test it to confirm it still activates. The detector
will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, and batteries are working, and will send a notification to your
mobile device, if configured. If the detector does not sound, or gives erratic or low volume sound, the unit
must be replaced.
Nuisance Alarms
HUSH:
If you know why the detector is sounding, and can verify that it is not a water or freeze situation, you
can use the app to silence the alarm for 8-10 minutes. You can use Hush repeatedly if needed. If the detector
continues to false alarm for no reason, and if cleaning does not help (see Section 9), it is defective and should
be replaced. NOTE: If an alarm is not Hushed in the first 60 seconds, Hush might be delayed by up to 30
seconds as the detector waits to communicate with the cloud.
8. Batteries
This alarm is powered by two Alkaline AA batteries. Do not use lithium batteries.
Under normal conditions, fresh batteries should last at last one year.
* Battery life is base on an average number of activated alarms and test events, and with default factory
settings (see Section 7). Changing these settings in the app could affect battery life.
NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low humidity or temperatures may reduce battery life.
WARNING: Do not try to repair the detector yourself.
Low Battery
This alarm is equipped with a low battery monitor circuit. If the battery capacity is nearing the point where it
can no longer provide adequate power for all alarm functions, the low battery condition will occur. See Alarm
and Operation Audible and Visual Indicators table.
The batteries must be replaced within 7 days of the first occurrence of the “Low Battery Warning” to provide
continuous detection.
