4.1. Zvikamu

Main Unit: Houses the wireless transmitter, battery, and status indicator.
Wired Flood Sensor Probe: Contains two metal contacts that detect the presence of water. It connects to the main unit via a cable.
Status Indicator (LED): Provides visual feedback on the device's status (e.g., alarm, low battery, communication).
Mounting Holes: Located on the sensor probe for secure installation.

5. Setup uye Kuiswa

Proper installation is crucial for the reliable operation of the flood detector.

5.1. Kuiswa kwebhatiri

Open the main unit's casing.
Insert the specified Lithium battery, observing correct polarity.
Vhara iyo casing securely. The LED may flash to indicate power-up.

5.2. Kuisa Chikwata Chikuru

The main unit is designed for tabletop mounting or wall mounting near the area to be monitored. Ensure it is placed in a dry location, away from direct contact with water.

Tabletop Mount: Place the main unit on a flat, stable surface within range of your PowerSeries Neo system.
Wall Mount: Use the provided screws and anchors to secure the main unit to a wall. Ensure the mounting location allows for easy access to the battery compartment.

5.3. Placing the Flood Sensor Probe

The flood sensor probe should be placed at the lowest point of the area where water accumulation is expected.

Position the probe with its metal contacts facing downwards, directly on the surface where water would first appear (e.g., basement floor, near a water heater, under a sink).
Secure the probe using its mounting holes and screws if necessary, to prevent accidental displacement.
Ensure the cable connecting the probe to the main unit is not pinched or damaged.

5.4. Enrolling with the PowerSeries Neo System

Refer to your PowerSeries Neo control panel's installation manual for specific enrollment procedures. Generally, the steps involve:

Access the system's programming menu.
Select the option to add a new wireless device or zone.
Activate the flood detector (e.g., by pressing a tamper switch or triggering a flood event) to transmit its unique ID to the panel.
Assign the detector to an appropriate zone and configure its attributes (e.g., 24-hour flood zone).
Test the communication and flood detection functionality.

6. Operating Instructions

Once installed and enrolled, the PG9985 operates automatically.

6.1. Water Detection

When water bridges the two metal contacts on the sensor probe, the detector will immediately transmit a flood alarm signal to the PowerSeries Neo control panel. The panel will then initiate the programmed response, which may include sounding an alarm, sending notifications, or activating other connected devices.

6.2. Chinongedzo Chemamiriro

The LED on the main unit provides visual status indications:

Rapid Flashing: Indicates a flood alarm transmission.
Slow Flashing: May indicate a low battery condition or a communication issue.
Hapana Chiedza: Normal standby operation or no power.

6.3. Kuedza Chinoongorora

Regular testing ensures the detector is functioning correctly.

Place a small amount of water (e.g., a few drops) on the metal contacts of the sensor probe.
Observe the main unit's LED for a rapid flash, indicating an alarm transmission.
Verify that your PowerSeries Neo system receives the flood alarm.
Dry the sensor probe thoroughly after testing.

7. Kuchengeta

Minimal maintenance is required to keep your flood detector in optimal condition.

7.1. Kutsiviwa kwebhatiri

When the system indicates a low battery for the PG9985, replace the battery promptly to ensure continuous protection.
