ATTENTION…..
The location of water sensing cable or any other water sensing device is critical to the effective operation of
this system. Great care should be taken to locate away from areas likely to suffer from normal dampness
and condensation, as this may trigger false alarms. Each water sensing device must be installed in a
usually dry area such as beneath the bath panel or plant room, depending on the application.
In addition, it is critical to ensure that any water sensing cable or tape is positioned at least 20cm away
from any mains cables. This distance MUST be observed, or the sensor channels may not operate
correctly.

Location Log….
Please use this space to note the water sensing device and its location for each of the five water sensing
channels in use. Secure tape out of site avoiding areas likely to become wet due to cleaning etc. Tape
heavily contaminated with dirt or sawdust must be replaced. Any tape which may have been stood on or
has been placed under heavy items will also require replacement.

Notes.
Step by Step Installation….
1. Fix controls to chosen area. All system components should be sited internally in areas where they
are readily accessible by the person(s) designated to use them. Areas should be clean and dry, and
light and sound levels should allow the status of all device indicators and sounders to be seen and
heard. Any likelihood of tampering, vandalism and power disruption should also be considered.
2. Wire each water sensing device to each of the numbered channels on the Puddle controller. Leader
cable (connecting cable between the controls and sensing tape/cable) lengths are specified upon
quotation and made to measure. THIS IS PURPOSE-BUILT CABLE AND CANNOT BE
SUBSTITUTED/EXTENDED BY ANY OTHER CABLE. Sensing tape must be secured with bespoke
tape clips (provided), 1 per meter and 1 each end. Ensure to record the water sensing device and its
location using the location log opposite.
3. Where applicable, use 2 core flex cable to connect the BMS or hardwire a Waterguard DataCom to
the ALARM OUT terminal.
4. Connect power to the Puddle sensor using the 12V power pack or refer to the 240V adapter
instructions.
No setup required. Ensure to see the reverse to check successful installation.
