XW-112™ Wi-Fi Water Detector Users Manual
Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
The XW-112 is an easy-to-use wireless device which monitors the presence of liquids using a GRI-2605
liquid detection sensor (included). It is ideal for applications where liquid level or a water leak must be
monitored and Ethernet wiring is not accessible or practical to install.
The XW-112 is a self-contained device that requires no additional servers or ControlByWeb devices. The
XW-112 can provide real-time status to users through web browsers or the CBW Mobile app. In addition,
it offers the ability to monitor the sensor status and send out email alerts (which can be converted to text
message alerts) whenever an alarm condition occurs.
A terminal strip provides connections to the GRI-2605 Liquid Detection Sensor. No other cables,
interfaces, or PC utility programs are needed. The XW-112 is powered by an external wall transformer
(5VDC). Two AA batteries can be installed to provide an AC power-fail alarm.
Provisioning the module:
Access-Point mode: Two user accessible push-button switches aid in provisioning the module. Press the
“Access Point” button anytime to active the access point mode. Then with a PC or smart phone, connect
to and access the XW-112's internal web server (The XW-112 will always be accessible this way,
regardless of the mode to which it was previously set).
Using the web server, configure the access port, name, and other setup parameters.
WPS: Alternatively, add the XW-112 to an existing network by pressing the “WPS” (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup) button on both the XW-112 and on your access point (i.e., router).
Network Discovery: Using the Android or iOS app, the XW-112 can be used to configure the Wi-Fi
network as well as any cloud or network settings.
ControlByWeb Cloud:
The XW-112 can be configured to automatically connect to
ControlByWeb.cloud
after being connected to
a wireless network with internet access. This feature allows internet access to an XW-112 which is
installed behind a network router, without the need to setup port forwarding in the router. This also allows
for easy installation using DHCP without the need to assign a specific IP address to the XW-112.
Since the connection from the XW-112 is outgoing rather than incoming, the local router on the network
(where the XW-112 resides) does not need to be configured to forward sockets. This simplifies the
installation since the router configuration is not modified.
