LA-13-Series

Supported Applications

The Omega LA-13 Series Water Leak Alarm is designed to detect water leaks in residential and commercial environments. The product overview explicitly identifies applications near plumbing, sinks, aquariums, sump pumps, refrigerators, dishwashers, toilets, basements, washing machines, water heaters, and garages.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The LA-13 Series operates within an ambient temperature range of -10°C ~ 40°C. Storage is supported between -20°C ~ 60°C. The unit provides an alarm output greater than 80dB when water is detected and includes a low battery indication where the unit sounds even when no leak is present.

Operational constraints require that the height of the water surface must not exceed the height of the back cover to prevent internal damage. Additionally, placement on conductive surfaces may trigger false alarms; inserting thin paper or plastic between the unit and such surfaces resolves this issue.

Configuration Options

The series is offered as a single configuration with the following documented attributes:

• Power Supply: 9V 6F22, one piece battery.
• Dimensions: 82mm × 80mm × 28.5mm.
• Weight: about 95g (including battery).

Maintenance recommendations include replacing the battery and testing the unit at least once a year to ensure proper operation, as the alarm will also sound when the battery is low.
