Using the Water Detector
The Water Detector works as a stand-alone unit which can be placed where
leaks may occur and has an audible alert when liquid is detected. It may also
be used with a Wireless Receiver (sold separately) which can be placed in a
living area, ensuring that you hear the alert.
Placement Guidelines
Water will naturally flow towards the low point of the area that is beings
monitored. For the best results, place Water Detector in an area where water
is most likely to collect.
You may place the Water Detector upright in the desired location (Figure A),
or mount the base with the wired sensor placed on ground level (Figure B).
NOTE: The sensor is water-resistant and is designed to detect the presence of liquid/leaks. However, to extend it’s life, place the Water Detector in an area where it will not remain submerged in liquid.
