IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION NOTES
6 ft. detachable water sensor cable
• The s enso r has a wireless range of 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.) wi ll effecti vely cut signal range in half.
• Metal, stucco, and some ty pes of glass ca n redu ce signal
range by as much as ¾ or more, compared t o t he 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 Wir eless Rem ote Water Detector updates the water
status on the LCD every 6 seconds.
Note: The new measurement is reported to your account at
intervals that you select using your online account.
