WATER LEAK ALERT WHLDT
2. Connect the leak detector wires as shown in Fig. 3.
TO THERMOPILE RED
Fig. 3. Leak detector wires.
a. Connect the white wire labeled "to thermopile" to
the white thermopile wire.
b. Connect the red wire labeled "to thermopile" to the
red thermopile wire.
c. Connect the red and white wire labeled "to control-
ler" to the water heater controller.
d. Connect the two red wires labeled "to leak detector"
to the leak detector
3. Arrange the leak sensing cable so it is in position to
detect leaks. Be sure to circle the cable around the
base of the water heater.
NOTE:
If the water heater has a drain pan installed,
place the cable inside the drain pan.
4. Use double-stick tape to attach the leak detector to the
water heater tank.
5. Restart the water heater following the instructions in
the water heater operators manual.
To Expand Leak Detection Coverage
Additional cable sensors (sold separately; part number
CHWES41013/U) can be connected to extend the cable and
increase water sensing area.
The cable can be extended up to 240 ft. with one alarm.
Battery Replacement
The leak detector will chirp when the battery is getting low.
To change the battery simply follow step 1 of "Preparation"
on page 1. We recommend you test the batteries every 6
months and replace as needed.
Security Notice
Place device in a location where no damage or tampering to
device or wires will occur.

In Case of an Alert
Mute the detector by removing the batteries or cable sensor
from the detector. After you've addressed the cause of the
alert, wipe dry the detector and cable sensor and put them
back in place. Replace batteries if they were removed.
How can I connect to a Resideo
Prestige EIM module?
1. Connect the two red wires labeled "to leak detector" to
the leak detector.
2. Remove the connectors from the side of the two wires
labeled "To Control Red" and "To thermopile red." Con-
nect the bare wires to the EIM.
NOTE:
For longer wire runs use 18 AWG stranded,
insulated wire.
3. Discard other wires labeled "To Control White" and "to
thermopile white."
4. Select "normally closed" option on the Resideo Pres-
tige setup screen and follow setup instructions pro-
vided with the Resideo Prestige Thermostat.
How do I Make Sure the Leak Detector
is Working?
Press and hold the test button on the water leak detector. It
can take a few seconds but a loud alarm will sound. If there is
no alarm or the alarm is not loud, replace the batteries.
Why is the Water Cold?
If you have a Resideo self-powered gas valve connected to
the leak alert system, then it will turn the main gas burner off.
This prevents the water from being heated when the water
heater is leaking.
To Restore Hot Water if the Leak
Detector is Connected to the Gas Valve
1. If there is a leak, address the cause of the leak.
2. Contact a plumber and let them know you have a leak.
a. If there is no leak alarm but there is still no hot
water, the problem could be something other than a
water leak.
3. If the alarm is going off and there is no leak:
a. Refer to your water heater owner's manual for addi-
tional instructions.
b. Turn the dial on the water heater controller to OFF
for three seconds.
c. Turn the dial to the PILOT location on the water
heater controller, then push down the dial while
pushing the piezo igniter.
