The WB800 is a completely electronic water detector which is designed to detect only
nonflammable conductive liquids (distilled water cannot be detected). The WB800 is
designed with the control console mounted on the wall and the remote sensors placed in
locations where water seepage is most probable.
The unit includes four (4) supervised sensors (PN W-S-S). In addition to detecting water with
this sensor, an the unit will alarm when the supervised sensor line becomes disconnected.
A film of moisture forming a bridge between the two metallic contacts on any remote
sensor is all that is needed for the unit to signal an alarm condition (Figure 1). The relay
output is non-latching, but will remain closed until the moisture bridge between the two
contacts is broken. As sensitive as the WaterBug is, it will not alarm due to high humidity
or condensation. The WaterBug is ideal for use around homes, office buildings, computer
rooms, boats, etc. Additional features include:
• Accepts 12V, 24V AC/DC power input
• Eight alarm LED indicators to identify the sensor zone in alarm.
• Supervised sensor line option. Unit will alarm on open sensor condition and an
indicator will light. Up to 8 supervised sensors per console. Sensor lines up to 500ft.
• One “Form C” SPDT Relay for alarm output.
• Built in audible alarm and remote buzzer output with silence feature (adjustable 3 sec.
to 150 min.)

ONSIDERATIONS
Select A Site For The Console
Sensor cable lengths & power source locations should be considered. Maximum cable
length for the water sensors is 500 ft.
Option #1 Surface Mounting Without Mounting Box
It is possible to install the console on a soft wall (sheet rock, panel, etc.) without the
use of a mounting box. This is the fastest mounting method and it gives the control
console a nice looking low profile. In selecting a site to mount the console keep in
mind that it must be placed in a secure, dry location with an ambient temperature
of +32˚ to +130˚F (0˚ to +54˚C). For this option, drill a ½” diameter hole(s) in the wall
which will be opposite the wiring terminal strip on the console. This hole will provide
access for all wiring. Next, carefully mark the location of the four corner screw holes on
the console. Then drive four wall anchors into the proper locations and complete by
attaching the console to the wall.
Option # 2 Surface Mounting
In areas where no hollow interior walls are available, the surface mounting box (PN
MB-3M) can be used. The surface mounting box (3 gang electric box) can be secured to
any wall. The installed profile of the WB800 with this option is about 2½“ out from the
wall.

NFORMATION
1. The WB800 is included with four (4) standard
supervised sensors (PN W-S-S).
2. A backbox is included with the WB800. If
desired, the other mounting methods as
described in the Installation/Operation
Instruction Guide may be used. Screw
packets are also provided to mount the
backbox to the wall and also to mount the
WB800 console to the backbox. Both a
standard slotted and phillips screwdriver are
necessary for installation.
3. You will need a slotted screwdriver to install
the enclosed backbox. Using the backbox as
a template, mark the position of the screw
holes on the vertical surface you wish to
mount to. Drive the screws (using anchors if
required) in your mounting surface, allowing
approximately 1/16” between the screw head
and the mounting surface. Engage key slots
on the backbox with the screw heads and
press down.
4. After completion of wiring, the enclosed four
phillips screws can be used to mount the
WB800 console to the backbox.
