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.
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.
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 alertonly 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. Parts Check List Identify all the parts before proceeding.
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.
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.
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.
and the Zone LED indicator will flash twice. 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.
reinstall batteries. This returns the Control Center to standard operation mode. 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.

Water Leak Sensor F.A.Q.’S Q. I bought a new Sensor and the Control Center will not recognize it. Why? A. First, make sure the yellow battery isolation tape has been removed and the battery is new. Second, ensure the battery is inserted into the Sensor according to polarity(+/-) markings. Third, confirm the Sensor has been correctly assigned to a Zone. Q. I put the Sensor on Zone 4 and it will not set off the alarm. Why? A. Zone 4 is a Dedicated Alert Zone and is designed to monitor Sensors in this Zone.
Q. Why does one of my Zones continually flash? A. This can be caused by 1 of 2 conditions. First condition, if it is a rapid flash it means a Sensor in the Zone has a low battery. If more than one Sensor is in a Zone, you will need to test each Sensor by putting the unit into test mode (see pg. 9 of this manual). It may also be a Sensor is out of range and cannot make contact with the Control Center. If this is the case, you may need to move the Control Center closer or use a Signal Repeater.
