Xintex sniffer wet

[FecklessDolphin]

On passage the Xintex sniffer (S2A) was flooded then had a wet roll of paper towels sitting on it for a few days. We have allowed it to dry out for another few days. It still alarms when we put the fuse in. Do these things dry out or can I replace the sensor easily? I installed the system a year ago and had been working fine. Thanks

Test it with a lighter or propane torch (light it and then blow the flame out).

Was it salt or fresh water?
If salt, disconnect it, thoroughly rinse it in fresh water and put in the sun for a complete dry cycle. It will probably work.
