Before proceeding with the installation or operation of the Versa’larm™, read all instructions
thoroughly, as well as complying with all Federal, State and Local Codes, Regulations and
Practices. The Versa’larm must be installed by qualified personnel familiar with all applicable
local electrical and mechanical codes. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). Failure
to properly install and test this product can result in personal injury or equipment malfunction.
The Versa’larm is a multipurpose alarm that can be used in a wide variety of applications such as:
septic tanks, sumps, holding tanks, pump chambers, water tanks, flow, pressure, condensate,
temperature and any other application where a “dry” contact can be connected to the Versa’larm.
These contacts can be connected to an Auto Dialer, a BAS (building automation system) or
SCADA system.

Safety Guidlines
1. DO NOT USE WITH FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE,
ETC. DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES.
2. VERSA’LARM MUST BE MOUNTED INDOORS. FOR OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS CONSULT FACTORY.

Description of Operation
The Versa’larm is powered by 120 VAC coming from standard wall outlets and is transformed to 9-11 VDC.
Installing a 9 volt battery provides battery backup.
When a switch (signaling device) contact “closes” the buzzer and alarm light will turn “on” and the built in auxiliary
contacts will be activated. The signaling device could be a control duty float switch (e.g. Unimax™) or a water
sensor (e.g. WaterSpotter™, WaterSpotter™ Probe, Alderon Temperature Switch).
Pressing the “silence” switch deactivates the buzzer. When the alarm is remedied, the system automatically
resets itself.

1 Zone Alarm - Model VA01A

Operation, Maintenance and Installation Manual

Installation of the Versa’larm
1. To install/replace the battery for the backup power feature, remove the access cover (Fig. 1) and install 9 VDC
battery (Duracell model MX 1604B2) (Fig. 2). After installing battery, press the test button (Fig. 3) to activate the
alarm to make sure the battery works properly. The alarm indicator light should illuminate and the buzzer should
annunciate. If using the auxiliary contacts, leave cover off until Step 4 is completed. If you are not using the
auxiliary contacts, replace the access cover (Fig. 4).

2. Determine mounting location for the Versa’larm. Make sure the power outlet is within 5 feet of the Versa’larm
(Fig. 5). Make sure the outlet is on a separate circuit breaker from any other device and not on a switched
receptacle to maintain power integrity. Mount the Versa’larm using two #6 self tapping screws (not included)
(Fig. 6). Use #8 plastic anchor (not included) if mounting to sheet rock (Fig. 7).

3. If you are not using the auxiliary contacts, go to Step 6. If using auxiliary contacts (Fig. 8), when a sensor such
as a float switch in a septic tank, a WaterSpotter™ near a floor drain or in your sump pit is activated, it will close
relay contacts on Terminals 1A and 1B and activate the Auto Dialer. If connecting to existing alarm security
system or BAS system, go to Figure 9 on Page 3. When connected, replace the access cover and pull the wires
through the knockouts on the access cover (Fig. 10 and Fig. 11), see Step 5. Caution! - When installing wires,
route all wires away from sharp objects and internal components.

4. If connecting to existing alarm security system or BAS system leave Terminals “+” and “-” open and use 18
AWG 2 conductor wire to connect the existing product to Terminals 1A and 1B (Fig. 9). When connected, replace
the access cover and pull the wires through the knockouts on the access cover (Fig. 10 and Fig. 11), see Step 5.
Caution! - When installing wires, route all wires away from sharp objects and internal components.

7. Connect any combination of switches (rated 9 VDC, 200 mA MINIMUM) (Fig. 12) such as a float switch,
pressure switch, WaterSpotter™, WaterSpotter™ Probe, etc. to Terminals C and 1 on the terminal block of the
Versa’larm. TERMINAL 2 IS NEVER USED. The alarm is activated by a closed switch. Caution! - When installing the “signaling switch”, refer to its installation instructions for proper installation.

8. Plug the power supply into a 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz standard wall
outlet. The green “Power” light should come on.

9. Test the system by pressing the “Test” switch or by activating the
“Signaling Device” (Fig. 13). The buzzer and the red alarm light will
be “on”. Press the “Silence” switch, the buzzer will silence but the
alarm light will remain “on”. Deactivate the “Signaling Device”, the
alarm light will turn “off”. Since the Versa’larm is equipped with
“Auto Reset”, reactivating the “Signaling Device” for a new test
cycle will reactivate the buzzer and alarm light. Test product weekly
to ensure system integrity.
