Placement Options

Water will naturally ow towards the low point of the area that is being

monitored. For the best results, place the Water Detector in an area where
water is most likely to collect.

NOTE: The sensor is water-resistant and is designed to detect the presence of
liquid/leaks. However, to extend its life, place the water detector in an area
where it will not remain submerged in liquid.

Detect Appliance Leaks

Older appliances and their components are a potential source for water leaks
over time.

Suggested Placement

Place the Water Detector on the oor, with the logo side facing up, near the

appliance you suspect may leak. See Figures (A) and (B).

Detect Sump Pump Failure

A failed sump pump could spell disaster for
your home. The Water Detector can warn you in

time to take action before ooding occurs.

Suggested Placement

Hang the Water Detector halfway down the
sump pump well. See Figure (C).

NOTE: The Water Detector should be placed
above the water height, where the pump would
normally turn on.

Connect Multiple Water Detectors Together

Each Water Detector features a sensor
input that allows for connecting multiple
water detectors in a series to monitor larger

areas. The Room Monitor’s alarm will sound

if ANY of the Water Detectors sense the
presence of water. See Figure (D).

NOTE: To prevent damage to the Water

Detector’s electrical components, the sensor

input plug should remain in place while not
in use. To prevent reduced signal strength,
no more than 5 water detectors should be
connected together.

OPERATION

D

Using the Water Detector

The Water Detector requires either the Room Monitor or the Outdoor
Temperature and Humidity Monitor to be operational. Compatible digital
displays are available for both Monitors.

The Outdoor Monitor requires a companion unit (ex. digital display).
The Room Monitor features a built-in digital display and an audible alert when

liquid is detected. When using a Water Detector with the Room Monitor, the

Monitor’s temperature and humidity readings move to the top of the display.
The display automatically toggles between the Monitor’s temperature and
humidity data, and the Water Detector’s readings appear in the middle of the

display (pictured below).
