How-To Maintain your Leak Detector
If the LED is found to not flash when moisture is applied to the copper sensor lines, the button cell battery is probably flat. Try a new button cell. Also check that the Copper Sensor Lines are clean and free of corrosion or oxide build-up. (see Copper Sensor Lines - below)
A new Button Cell is provided with each Underwater Camera Housing Leak Detector, this should last for approximately one year. But always test the Leak Detector before using it after storing for more than a week without use. If the LED is not as bright as when it was new, then replace the battery. Only fit a 3 Volt (*See Note Below) Button Cell to your Leak Detector, other size/voltage batteries will either not work, or damage the Leak Detector's electronic components. The + (positive) side of the battery must face UP in the battery holder on all models. The top of all batteries is marked with the + sign. * Note: Depending on the model/age of your Leak Detector, you may have one or two batteries in the unit. Replace your flat battery/s with exactly the same battery/s as were supplied to you with the unit when it was new. This may be one (or two on some models) of the following battery types: CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, or CR1220. If you are not sure how many batteries or which battery type fits your particular Leak Detector model, then please check the notes on the photos on the right or Contact Us first. |

Copper Sensor Lines
The copper sensor lines on the Underwater Camera Housing Leak Detector are designed to be at the lowest part of your housing and facing the bottom of the housing, so that any moisture/water will touch the copper lines. This is what starts the Leak Detector flashing, warning you of a problem.
The opposite side of the copper sensor lines has a sticker (UWleakdetector.com) on it, this sticker should be facing upwards in the housing.
Every six months the copper sensor lines should be polished gently with ‘Brasso’ or a similar product used for polishing brass/copper objects - applied with a soft cloth. This will keep the copper strips sensitive to moisture, by removing any oxides.
