ClareOne Water Detector Installation Manual
CLR-C1-WTR
CLR-C1-WTR IM V3 05012020
INTRODUCTION
The CLR-C1-WTR Water Detector is not a
self-contained warning device.
For proper operation, it must be used in
conjunction with a Clare Controls alarm
system. It is designed so that the
transmitter mounts on a wall or other flat
vertical surface, and the remote probe is placed in the
location where water leakage is most probable.
Moisture forming a bridge between the two metallic
contacts on a remote probe is all that is needed for the
unit to signal an alarm condition. The output on the CLR-
C1-WTR will remain in alarm state until the moisture
bridge is broken. As sensitive as the Water Detector is, it
will not alarm due to high humidity or condensation. The
Water Detector is ideal for use in homes, offices, computer
rooms, warehouses, etc.
INSTALLATION
When mounting the wireless device make sure it is
not mounted on metal or where there are any large
metal objects between the device and the control
panel, this can be tested prior to or after installation.
Mounting the probe to a vertical surface like a wall
enables you to monitor an area for rising water levels.
Use where ever unwanted water may accumulate.
Suggested areas near: water heater, washing
machines, under sinks, and sump pumps
Mount Transmitter using
supplied double-sided tape.
Probe mounts directly to the
floor or can be attached to
wall using tape or screws.
MOUNTING:
Mount the transmitter as high as possible, the
water Probe has a 6’ cable attaching it to the
sensor. The probe can be mounted to the wall
or floor using mounting screws or adhesive
strips provided.
FEATURES
· Water Detection when liquid makes contact with probe.
· Contacts above floor level to prevent false floor
condensation detection.
· Checks for water constantly, requires two positive
checks for a valid alarm.
· Battery checked every hour.
· Batteries (2) CR2032.
· Tamper Switch: Included inside transmitter.
PROGRAMMING
1. Enter Programming Mode.
2. Open and close the case to “tamper” the device.
3. Customize name and settings as desired and
touch “ADD”.
TEST PROCEEDURES
To test the operational status, form a water bridge
between the two metallic contact points with a moistened
finger or cloth. If working properly, the detector will
activate the warning device to which it is connected
within approximately three seconds. The detector will
reset automatically when the probe dries and there is no
longer a water bridge between the two metallic contact
points.
