AVTECH Flood Sensor w_8 Cable (RMA-F008-SEN) - Manual

The Flood Sensor with attached sensor cable is activated by liquid (i.e. water, fluid, etc.) making contact with an
attached Flood Sensor Cable of any length. The Flood Sensor Cable can detect as little water as a single drop when
it makes contact with AVTECH Software’s patented Flood Sensor Cable. If the Flood Sensor is installed properly,
this will result in an alert condition where the Room Alert hardware, Device ManageR software and/or other
monitoring application will send out alerts and/or take an automatic corrective action.
Components
The Flood Sensor with Flood Sensor Cable
includes the following components: (1) Flood
Sensor device, (1) Flood Sensor Cable, (1) 25´
RJ-11 Leader cable with special connector, (1)
5V Power Adapter for use with 110-240 VAC,
(1) 25´ Sensor Cable (24 gauge speaker cable)
and (2) mounting screws.
Setup And Adjustments
The Flood Sensor is designed to be wall mounted above any anticipated water line and near a 110-240 VAC power
source where the 5V power adapter can be connected. Mount the Flood Sensor to a vertical surface like a wall or
pillar using the two mounting screws that are included. Then, locate the Flood Sensor Cable where you are most
concerned about water or flooding. Naturally, you’ll want this to be where water is most likely to run or settle.
CAUTION: The Flood Sensor Cable is designed to be located where water or flooding is most likely to occur. The actual Flood
Sensor device is NOT designed to come into contact with water. Mount the Flood Sensor (i.e. the black box) to a vertical surface
like a wall or pillar using the included mounting screws. Because the Flood Sensor uses main power via the AVTECH Software
5V Power Adapter, it is NOT appropriate to allow the Flood Sensor device to be located where it may be submerged underwater
or come into contact with water for any length of time. For this reason, there is a 25’ RJ-11 Leader cable that connects the Flood
Sensor Cable to the Flood Sensor device.
The Flood Sensor Cable is designed to be located where water or flooding is most likely to occur. Typically,
users will locate the Flood Sensor Cable along the floor next to a wall or circling valuable IT equipment. Some
applications may require a creative approach. For example, if monitoring for leakage in a drop ceiling, you
might run the Flood Sensor Cable along a plastic trough or inside a collection tray positioned to collect dripping
water (i.e. like from an air conditioner). If water runs along pipes, you could coil the Flood Sensor Cable around
the pipe so that water has to touch it as it runs down the pipe.
Once the Flood Sensor and Flood Sensor Cable are mounted and located as desired, connect these together
using the 25´ RJ-11 Leader cable. The RJ-11 connection plugs into the Flood Sensor (i.e. the black box) while
the special connector plugs into the mating connector on the Flood Sensor Cable. These arrive connected by
default although are often disconnected during the installation process for easy installation.
