2.13 Disconnecting the Model 1104 f
or Storage or
Seasonal Use.
If you plan to employ the Model 1104 as a seasonal “watch-
dog” for a few months during the year, you must disconnect
all wires from the unit completely to avoid damage to the
circuitry when the unit is not in use. If the unit is unplugged
but left in place with all the sensors still connected, the wires
act as antennae that draw in any stray “electrical noise” from
such devices as fans, blowers, microwaves, etc.
Additionally, it is important to remove the batteries, or they
will discharge until they fail.
Preserve your Model 1104 during the off-season, or
when not in use:
• Remove the sensor wires at the screw terminals
• Remove the batteries
• Unplug the unit and store in a safe place
