Powering Your Sensor

• Hold the sensor in one hand, label facing up.
• Pinch the battery insulator (pull tab) close to the battery cover and slowly pull as shown (sideways, parallel to the battery cover).
• Discard the pull tab. Place the sensor aside and proceed to Step 3, Powering your Gateway.

Powering your Gateway

• Plug the USB-C cable (included) into the USB-C port on the Gateway.
• Plug the USB connector into a USB-A power plug (included). Use UL listed supply with max output power rating of 5 W.

Connect your Gateway

• Open the SmartHQ app and touch the “+” located at the top righthand corner of the app homepage.
• Select GE brand.
• Your Gateway should appear at the top. Touch Connect. Follow the instructions from the app to complete the connection of your gateway and to pair your sensor(s).
• To avoid confusion, after pairing your sensor, it is recommended that you give each sensor a custom nickname and place the sensor in its appropriate location before proceeding to the next sensor.

Placing your Sensor

Your sensor can be placed in locations where a
potential water leak may occur. For example, in your
laundry room, under your kitchen sink pipes, near
your water heater, etc.

For a water heater with catch pan:
Place the double sided tape (included) on the back of the sensor. Remove the backing and place the sensor against your water heater with the sensor probes on the bottom and the button at the top.

Water Leak Notification/Alert

When the Sensor detects a water leak, a signal is sent to the Gateway. You will then receive a notification/alert on your mobile device that, “A leak was detected”.

To clear the Leak from the app, remove the sensor from the leak source and close and open the app after approximately 1 minute.

Replacing the AAA Batteries

When it is time to replace the batteries, use only new alkaline non- rechargeable AAA batteries.

• Locate a clean table to work on and have the tools ready.

• Use a #0 or #00 phillips screwdriver and remove one of the battery cover screws. Carefully place the screw to the side.

• Loosen the other screw ~3 turns, keep this screw attached to the cover.

• Place the sensor on the table with the label facing up and place one hand on the sensor as shown.

• Place the flat head screwdriver under the screw head and lift up the screw head. The battery cover will lift up as well.

• Remove the battery cover.
  NOTE: The cover is designed to fit tightly in the housing so this may take some force.

• Install 2 new non-rechargeable AAA batteries Replace the battery cover. Press down the cover and then tighten the screws. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

CAUTION Use care and follow the battery installation instructions carefully to maintain the water tightness design of your Water Leak Sensor. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local battery disposal procedures.

Regulatory Module Integration instructions

The Gateway device has been granted modular approval for a mobile application. And the Water Leak Sensor communicates with the Gateway via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) mesh. The Gateway is certified by FCC/IC/Bluetooth SIG. The Water Leak Sensor includes FCC/IC/ Bluetooth SIG certified module by GE Appliances. The descriptions are as follows.

Product Name: Gateway for Water Leak Sensor, Model: SPLG10N01P FCC ID: ZKJ-WCATA010, IC: 10229A-WCATA010
Product Name: Water Leak Sensor (Including a certified module), Model: SPLS10N01P CONTAINS FCC ID: ZKJ-BLEA004,
CONTAINS IC: 10229A-BLEA004

The Gateway and Water Leak Sensor devices comply with FCC/IC regulations.

Device Classifications

Since host devices vary widely with design features and configurations module integrators shall follow the guidelines below regarding device classification and simultaneous transmission, and seek guidance from their preferred regulatory test lab to determine how regulatory guidelines will impact the device compliance. Proactive management of the regulatory process will minimize unexpected schedule delays and costs due to unplanned testing activities.

The module integrator must determine the minimum distance required between their host device and the user’s body. The FCC provides device classification definitions to assist in making the correct determination. Note that these classifications are guidelines only, strict adherence to a device classification may not satisfy the regulatory requirement as near- body device design details may vary widely. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the appropriate device category for your host product and if a KDB or PBA must be submitted to the FCC.

Note, the module you are using has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Portable applications may require further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. It is also likely that the host/module combination will need to undergo testing for FCC Part 15 regardless of the device classification. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the exact tests which are required on the host/module combination. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

ACAUTION responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment

FCC Definitions
Portable: (§2.1093)-A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is / are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.

Mobile: (§2.1091) (b)-A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. Per §2.1091d(d)(4) In some cases (for example, modular or desktop transmitters), the potential conditions of use of a device may not allow easy classification of that device as either Mobile or Portable. In these cases, applicants are responsible for determining minimum distances for compliance for the intended use and installation of the device based on evaluation of either specific absorption rate (SAR), field strength, or power density, whichever is most appropriate.

Simultaneous Transmission Evaluation

This module has not been evaluated or approved for simultaneous transmission as it is impossible to determine the exact multi-transmission scenario that a host manufacturer may choose. Any simultaneous transmission condition established through module integration into a host product must be evaluated per the requirements in KDB447498D01(8) and KDB616217D01, D03 (for laptop, notebook, netbook, and tablet applications).

These requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions can be incorporated in mobile host devices without further testing or certification when:
  Or

• The closest separation among all simultaneous transmitting antennas is >20 cm,

• Antenna separation distance and MPE compliance requirements for ALL simultaneous transmitting antennas have been specified in the application filing of at  least one of the certified transmitters within the host device. In addition, when transmitters certified for portable use are incorporated in a mobile host device, the antenna(s) must be >5 cm from all other simultaneous transmitting antennas.

• All antennas in the final product must be at least 20 cm from users and nearby persons.
