SELECT A LOCATION TO MOUNT WATER DETECTOR
• Select a locati on pr otected f rom water and other
precipit at ion. The case is water resi stant, not water p roof.
• Place the sensor in a dry, shaded area. Avoid locations with
direct sun, to prevent inacc urate readings.
• Fog and mist will not harm the sensor but direct precipit atio n
must be avoided.
• Note: Exposing the sensor case to extreme humidity may
temporarily disr upt data. The sensor ca se reads h umi di ty,
but should not be submerged in water.
• Attach the H20 ca ble senso r to the Rem ote Water D etector
case and place it on the floor for water monitoring. Secure
the Remote Water Detector ca se in an area th at is protected
from water. Once activated, you can view the te mperature /
humidity and H2O/Dry readings on the LCD.
• The H20 sensor on 6 ft. cable is not for use in a pool or hot
tub where chemicals may cause malfunction.
• Select a location within range of the Internet Gateway
(see “IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION NOTES”).
CONFIRM CONNECTION BEFORE MOUNTING
• IMPORTANT: Before permanently mounting…Test sensor
in the desired mounting location for at least 1 hour to
confirm good reception. Confirm consistent readings on your
account at www.lacrossealerts.com before permanently
mounting. Move the sensor closer to the Internet
Gateway if the signal is lost or not
received.
• Mount the sensor after the activation
process
(see “SETUP AND ACTIVATION”).
MOUNT TO WALL WITH SCREWS
1. Remove the mounting bracket
2. Place bracket over the desired location.
3. Mark mounting surface with a pencil through the
2 holes o f t he brack et.
4. Screw bracket o nto surface an d
tight en screws t o bracket.
5. Insert t he sensor back into the bracket.
FREE STANDING
Attach the mounting bracket to the bottom or
top of the sensor and place it o n any fl at surf ace.
PLACEMENT OF THE H2O SENSOR
The H2O sensor should be placed on the dry floor or against
the wall near your foundation, water heater, sump, plumbing,
was her a quarium, or dish wash er etc . to mo nit or for leaks.
FLOOR:
Place the H2O sensor (circuit board down) on
the dry floor within range of the water detector
with temperature / humidity that is mounted on
the wall or standing on a table. Note: The water
detector will sit 1/8 inch from the floor in this position.
WALL:
Place the H2O sensor against the wall with the
edge touching the floor within range of the water
detector with temperature/humidity that is
mounted on t he wal l or stand ing on a tab le.
• The H2O senso r can be secu red to the f loor or w al l with the
included screws & anchors or with two-sided tape (not
included).
• Secu re the 6 ft. H2O sensor cable to avoid tripping hazards:
Loosely coil and secure the extra cable with a twist tie.
CLEANING THE H2O SENSOR
Routine cleaning of the H2O sensor
is recom mended t o ensu re proper
operation. Use clean water and a
soft cloth to clean dirt and d ebri s
from the circuit board of the H2O sensor. Note: When using
two-sided tape, replace the tape after cleaning the H2O
sensor to maintain adhesiveness.

IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION NOTES
6 ft. detachable water sensor cable that
• The s enso r has a wireless ra nge o f 200 feet (60.96 m). The
200 ft. range equates to open air with no obstructions, and
that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual
transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path
of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings,
etc.) will effectively cut signal rang e in hal f.
• Metal, stucco, and some t ypes of gl ass ca n reduce signal
range by as much as ¾ or more, compared to th e ½
reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to
receive a signal through these materials, however maximum
range will be reduced due to their tendency to absorb or
reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.
• The water detector and temperature and humidity sensor
measures and up dates the temperatur e and h umidity on the
LCD every 6 seconds.
Note: The new measurement is reported to your account at
intervals that you select using your online account.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Rem ove the battery co ver by sli ding the cover dow n.
2. Observing the correct polarity install 2-AAA batteries. Th e

4. Do not mix alkaline, lithium, standard or rechargeable
batteries.
5. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards and check that
