To test the unit’s operational status, form a water bridge between the two metallic contact points (See Figure 2) with a
moistened finger or cloth. If working properly, the console will give an audible warning and activate a connected warning
device within approximately three seconds. The unit will reset automatically when the probe dries and there is no longer a
water bridge between the two metallic contact points.
Standard Surface Probe
If a remote probe is to be bolted down in a permanent installation,
drill only in the innermost center recessed area (See Figure 3). Drilling
anywhere other than the innermost circle may damage to the internal
wiring may occur, causing the unit to fail.

The WaterBug® model WB350 should not be used to monitor for the
absence of water as doing so will significantly reduce battery life.
Note:
Use the WB200 (hardwire version) when monitoring for the
absence of water.

Four Probe Contacts
Mount the probe to ensure
these four stainless steel

To insure proper operation, test weekly.
Concrete can be semi-conductive. If
experiencing false alarms, insulate
all probes mounted on concrete.
