Before connecting or operating the Water Leak

Sensor, please read these instructions carefully and

save this manual for future reference.

Congratulations

The GE Choice Alert™Wireless Alarm System is one

of the most affordable and expandable wireless

alarm systems available. You’ll discover that the

system offers many features typically found in custom

installed Alarm systems.

The Choice Alert system is reliable and easy-to-use.

With Choice Alert you can select from a line of Sensors

and Accessories; start small and expand as you

need, or create a system that meets all your needs.

The Choice Alert System is protected by Priority

Code Selection technology which provides increased

security and trouble-free wireless connections. It

also guarantees the Control Center will only respond

to signals from your Sensors in and around your home,

and prevents anyone from tampering with

your system.

The user manual explains in simple steps how to

install, use and care for your new Choice Alert

Water Leak Sensor.

If you have any questions or would like

additional information please visit our web site

Customer Service Group at 1-800-654-8483.

Important safeguards

Pre Cautions

1. Do not attempt to disassemble the Water Leak

Sensor, unless described in the user’s manual. There

are no user serviceable parts.

2. Handle with Care – Avoid striking or shaking.

Improper use or storage could damage the Water

Leak Sensor. Modifying or tampering the device or its

internal components can cause a malfunction and

void the Water Leak’s warranty.

3. If you feel the Water Leak Sensor or any part of

the Choice Alert system is not operating correctly or

as described, please contact Customer Service for

assistance (1-800-654-8483).

Introduction

The Water Sensor is designed to be used in areas

where there is a potential for damaging water

leaks – dishwashers, washing machines, hot water

tanks, air conditioner condensation drip pans, etc.

When mounted properly it can monitor whether

water is leaking into areas that could be damaged.

When water is detected, the Sensor will transmit

a signal to the Control Center. The settings on the

Control Center determine if an alarm, alert or chime

sounds (see Control Center Operation). The Water Leak

Sensor is recommended for use on Zone 4, the alert-

only Zone. If there is a leak, Zone will not sound an

alarm but will sound a continuous alert until leak has

stopped and water has dissipated.

Preparing the Water Leak Sensor for Installation

The Water Leak Sensor is composed of two sections

linked together with a cable The Sensor (transmitter)

and the Probe. Before installing, remove the yellow

battery isolation tape from the Sensor. This activates

the Lithium battery inside. The approximate battery

life is up to two years. When replacing batteries it is

recommended to replace all batteries in a Zone at the

same time in order ensure proper operation of the

entire system.

Installation

The Probe section will need to be mounted ﬁrst. It is

intended to be positioned with the contacts pointing

down. Find a suitable location where water could

accumulate if a leak were to occur (eg. along the

baseboard of wall).

You will need to determine if the surface to mount the

Probe is smooth or rough/porous. If smooth you can

use one piece of the included double sided tape. When

using doublesided tape apply to clean dry surface.

Remove one side of the tape and attach it to the

back side of the Probe. Once the mounting surface is

ready, remove the other side of the double side tape

and position probe so that the metal contacts are

pointing down, touching the ﬂoor and the back of the

Probe (with the double side tape) is up against the

wall, baseboard or mounting plate. Apply pressure to

secure the Probe to the surface.

If the mounting surface is rough or porous, you will

need to use the alternate mounting plate and screws

(included). Secure the plate to the desired location with

the screws.

Note: If postioning the probe to a metal surface, ensure the

Probe’s contacts do not touch the metal surface.

Next, stretch the cable

vertically and locate a

suitable position to mount

the transmitter. Follow

the same mounting

instructions above for

mounting the transmitter.

Once the Water Leak Sensor

is mounted, you’ll need to

assign it to a Zone on the

Control Center.

Assigning the Sensor to a Zone

Assigning the Sensor into a Zone is an easy four step

process, however there are a few points to remember

- Only one Sensor can be assigned at a time.

-A Sensor cannot be assigned to two different Zones.

-Up to four Sensors can be added per Zone (if a ﬁfth

Sensor is added then the ﬁrst Sensor will be replaced.)

-Batteries must be active in the Sensor before it can

be assigned to a Zone.

-Sensors can be assigned to a Zone and then

mounted, or can be mounted and then assign to

a Zone.

Follow these steps to assign a Sensor to a Zone.

Step 1 – Press and hold the Learn button on the

Control Center for three seconds. When the

Control Center sounds a long beep, release the

Learn button.

Step 2 – Press the Zone button (1, 2, 3 or 4) for the

Zone you want to assign to the Water Leak Sensor.

The LED indicator for that Zone will begin to ﬂash.

Step 3 – Release the Zone button.

Note: Zone 4 is for dedicated alerts only. Sensors in this Zone

will not trigger an alarm or chime.

Step 4 -For the Water Leak Sensor, place the

contacts in a small bowl of water, or use a metal

paperclip and touch both contacts.

Erasing the Sensor from a Zone

Note: If you need to remove the Sensor from a Zone, the

system will erase the entire Zone, so any other Sensors will

need to be put back into that particular Zone.

Step 1 - To erase a Zone, press and hold the

Learn button on the Control Center. The unit will

beep once.

Step 2 - While holding the Learn button, press and

hold the Zone button to be erased. After ﬁve

seconds the Control Center will sound two beeps

Step 3 - Release all buttons. The Zone has

been erased.

Note: The Zone/Sensor cannot be erased if:

-The Zone has been triggered for an Alert or alarm. The

Sensor/Zone must be reset.

-There is loss of signal from the Sensor to the Control

Center (such as low battery, or Sensor is out of range).

-The system is armed.

The Control Center will sound three beeps to indicate it could

not erase the Zone.

Testing a Sensor or your system

Once all the Sensors have been assigned to Zones

in the Control Center you can now test your system.

Ensure the Control Center can receive the signal

from the intended location of the Sensor before

permanently mounting a Sensor.

Step 1 - To place Control Center in Test mode

unplug AC adapter and remove batteries.

Step 2 - Press and hold the ‘Mute’ button and plug

the AC adapter back into the Control Center. When

all the LED indicators turn on, release the Mute

button. The Control Center is now in Test Mode and

any Sensor can now be tested in any Zone.

Note: The sensor has a LED that ﬂashes to show when the

sensor has triggered and transmitted to the Control Center.

Step 3 - Set the Notiﬁcation Mode to switch ‘Alert’

position and begin activating Sensors one at a time.

Step 4 - When testing is complete, unplug the AC

adapter, then plug the AC adapter back in and

Note: The Control Center will automatically return to standard

operation mode after 5 hours.

Low Battery Indicator

The Control Center continuously monitors all the

Sensors. If the Control Center does not receive a signal

from any Sensor it will begin rapidly ﬂashing the Zone

LED indicator . This indicates one or more Sensors in

the Zone may have low battery power and are unable

to transmit a signal the necessary distance. If all

batteries and/or Sensors are installed at the same

time into a Zone, it is recommended to replace the

batteries in all Sensors in the Zone.

However, you can check the Water Leak Sensor status

independently by placing the Control Center in Test

mode (see Testing a Sensor on page 9) and trigger

the Sensor separately (i.e. use a metal paper clip and

touch the contacts). If the Sensor does not trigger an

alert then replace the battery with a new one.

Note: The Sensor detection system is ‘range dependant’,

which means Sensors located closer to the Control Center

may seem to have batteries that last longer than those

Sensors at a greater distance. The Lithium cell battery in the

Water Leak Sensor can last up to two years.
