Sensor Placement and Mounting

Positioning Your Water Leak Sensor

• The sensor will work best when simply placed on a floor.
  It will begin to detect water at 0.787mm (0.031 inches).

• If sensor is placed vertically (i.e. hung inside a sump pump) the depth of the water needs to be at least 6.35mm (0.25 inches) high to trigger the sensor.

IMPORTANT:

• The metal contacts on the sensor should not be in contact with other metal.
• This will cause false WET readings and may damage the sensor.

Water Leak Sensor LED Light

• Blue Light: Normal Transmission The light will occasionally flash blue, indicating it is still transmitting correctly and no water has been detected.
• Red Light: Water Detected The LED light will flash red twice every 5 seconds until dry.
• Purple Light: Low Battery Indicates the sensor batteries need to be replaced.

Mounting Your Thermo-Hygro Sensor

• Use the hole at the top to hang your sensor from the back using a nail. Or, insert one mounting screw through the front of your sensor.
• Mount your sensor on a north-facing wall or in any shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail is preferred to avoid inaccurate readings from the sun.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 121 meters (400 feet) in open air, not including walls or floors.
• Be sure your sensor is mounted vertically, to allow moisture to drain out properly.

Additional Add-On Sensors

Whether you choose to connect with the La Crosse View app or not, this station can display data for up to 4 extra sensors. This data will appear in the blue Extra Sensor field and in your La Crosse View app if connected.

Adding Sensors to Your Station

2. Install batteries into your sensor. If the sensor has a TX button, press it to force a transmission signal. This button is usually located in or near the sensor’s battery compartment. The LED light on the sensor will flash once.
3. Your sensor should connect within the next 3 minutes, briefly displaying its ID and type on the LCD. The Sensor Reception Indicator will show solid on the screen when a sensor is connected.
4. Press the EXTRA button to cycle through the data you’d like displayed on the LCD. The Auto Scroll Icon ( ) will appear if activated.
   Note: When first powering up, or after a factory reset, extra sensors should automatically connect to your station.
