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
- Hold the EXTRA button until you see the Sensor Reception Indicator start to animate
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
