SPOT WATER LEAK SENSOR
REMOTE MONITORING WITH WIFI
Benefits of connecting your sensor to the La Crosse View™ app
- When the sensor is connected to the La Crosse View app, you’ll have access to its status anywhere on the go.
- You can even set up alerts that will send you push notifications for when water is detected, when water is no longer detected, the connection is lost, or when the sensor’s batteries are low.
- This information can also easily be shared with friends and family.
POWER & LED LIGHT COLORS
Power
- Remove the front cover by twisting it counterclockwise to the unlock position.
- Insert 2 fresh AA batteries according to the polarity markings. The LED light will flash blue when batteries are inserted.
- Replace the front cover and turn clockwise to the locked position.
LED Colors
BLUE LED: Normal Transmission. The LED light will occasionally flash
blue, indicating it is still transmitting correctly and that no water has been
detected. Press the TX button inside the front cover to force transmission at
any time.
RED LED: Water detected. The LED light will flash red twice every 5
seconds until dry. When water is no longer detected, the light will reduce in
frequency and revert back to flashing blue to indicate transmission.
PURPLE LED: Battery is low. When the batteries need to be replaced, the
LED light will flash purple 5 times every 30 seconds. (Purple) will flash once
every second for 5 seconds.
POSITIONING
- The sensor will work best when simply placed on a floor. It will begin to detect water at 0.031 inches (0.787mm).
- If the sensor is placed vertically (Ex: hung inside a sump pump) the depth of the water needs to be at least 0.25 inches (6.35mm) high to trigger the sensor.
IMPORTANT: The metal contacts on the sensor should not be in contact with
other metals. This will cause false WET readings and may damage the
sensor.
