I. ABOUT THE WATER DETETECTION PUCK SENSOR
The ALTA Wireless Water Detection Puck Sensor detects the presence or non-presence of
water. Convenient water tight puck design allows the sensor to be placed anywhere needed
whether dry or wet. Note that water levels must be ~ 3mm deep to trigger detection

The ALTA Wireless Water Detection Puck Sensor detects when water is present by
completing the circuit between the two probe points on the bottom of the puck sensor. When
water is present the sensor will immediately turn on the radio and transmit the data to the
wireless gateway and iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System, allowing
the user to immediately receive an SMS text or email alert. The sensor can be configured to
detect both the presence and non-presence of water.
