• To silence the alarm, press the green button. The light will continue to flash until the liquid level in the tank bund drops below the level of the float switch.
• The battery will power the High Level Alarm for 72 hours in full alarm mode with both the sounder and light activated. Low battery power is indicated by a short beep every 25 seconds.
• When the battery is low and the alarm is activated the alarm will sound as a rising beep every 5 seconds to conserve power.
• The light will flash every 25 seconds in normal operation (not in alarm mode) to indicate that the bund alarm is operating correctly.
• If the float switch is disconnected or the cable has been severed the High Level Alarm will emit a short beep every 5 seconds. The light and sounder can be tested at any time by pressing the green button once. If the High Level Alarm is functioning correctly a short series of beeps will sound and the light will flash.
