SELECT A LOCATION TO MOUNT WATER DETECTOR
•
Select a location protected from water and other
precipitation. The case is water resistant, not water proof.
•
Place the sensor in a dry, shaded area. Avoid locations with
direct sun, to prevent inaccurate readings.
•
Fog and mist will not harm the sensor but direct precipitation
must be avoided.
•
Note:
Exposing the sensor case to extreme humidity may
temporarily disrupt data. The water detector with LCD should
not be submerged in water.
•
Attach the H20 cable sensor to the Remote Water Detector
case and place it on the floor for water monitoring. Secure
the Remote Water Detector case in an area that is protected
from water. Once activated, the H2O/Dry readings will
display on the LCD.
•
The H20 sensor on 6 ft. cable is not for use in a pool or hot
tub where chemicals may cause malfunction.

the wall near your foundation, water heater, sump, plumbing,
washer aquarium, or dish washer etc. to monitor for leaks.
FLOOR:
Place the H2O sensor (circuit board down) on
the dry floor within range of the remote water
detector case that is mounted on the wall or
standing on a table.
Note
: The water detector
will sit 1/8 inch from the floor in this position.
WALL:
Place the H2O sensor against the wall with the
edge touching the floor within range of the
remote water detector case that is mounted on
the wall or standing on a table.
•
The H2O sensor can be secured to the floor or wall with the
included screws & anchors or with two-sided tape (not
