RF1204 Quick Start Guide The RF1204 433MHz water leak sensor requires 1 x 23A battery. Depending on controller and leak configuration, a standard battery should last 5+ years. We recommend lithium batteries for a longer battery life. Once configured and tested, the RF1204 should be positioned in Leak Sensitive locations:
Laundry Room Floor Floor by hot water tank Below Dishwasher Bathroom/s behind toilet Floor behind fridge with ice maker/water Under kitchen sink Sump pump Caution: If you do not have experience installing and configuring RF1204 type of devices, please consult a professional installer.

Select a clean area that is likely to pool water in the case of a leak. Place the RF1204 on the floor or surface in this leak sensitive area. The surface should be flat so that RF1204 is resting with all three legs touching the floor or flat surface. Replacing/Installing Battery:
Counter Clockwise with a small twist open the RF1204 to expose circuit board, LED, and battery holder. Install the 1 x 23A battery. Replace the cover with a small clockwise twist to snap it into place. Pairing the RF1204 Leak Sensor with the Bulldog-JW Control Module:
Including or Pairing the RF1204 to the Bulldog-JW Controller: Multiple Leak Sensors can be paired/included into the 433MHz wireless network, one at a time, in a simple 3 step process:
1. 2. 3. Put the Bulldog-JW Controller into pairing mode (single button click, see Bulldog-JW Quick Start Guide) Activate the Leak Sensor by getting it wet for 2 seconds (wet paper towel or cloth) Test in location by getting leak sensor wet and confirming Control Module Relay Activation/Valve Close Leak Sensors can not be excluded (un-paired) individually. All leak sensors will be excluded from the Control Module when exclusion process is initiated. (see Bulldog-JW Control Module Leak Sensor Exclusion Process hold pairing button for 5+ seconds) FCC Caution. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
