HOW IT WORKS
When configured, the Leak Alert X Smart Water

it can link directly to your router.
Once it has been set up, the detector sits dormant
until one of three events activates it:
• The Reset / Wake Button is pressed
• Water touches the Sensing Contacts
• Optional log is sent to your email (every 6 days)
OVERVIEW
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY
BEFORE SETTING UP YOUR DETECTOR.
Several steps are required to set up your detector:
• Link the detector to your Wi-Fi network using a
computer, tablet, or smart phone with Wi-Fi access.
• Use your wireless device to set up the detector.
• Place the detector where it will be used, such as
under a sink or water heater, or in a basement.
CONFIGURE DETECTOR TO WI-FI
You will need to access the network settings on
your chosen device during activation. You may also
need the password to your wireless network.
Depending on your device type, this may be located
in Settings, Utilities, or Control Panel.
If you are not sure how to access network
settings on your device, take a moment to
look at your user manual, or search online for
how to do this before starting the steps below.
LINK DETECTOR TO WI-FI
1.
Press the Reset / Wake
Button. The lower left LED
will flash.
2.
On your device,
access the network settings.
3.
Select
LeakAlertX_XXXXXX_XX
from the list of
displayed networks. (The numbers following the name
will vary.)
It may take several seconds for the
LeakAlertX network to appear on your device.
Once your device has successfully connected to
the detector, the lower left LED will stay on, and the
lower right LED will flash. Your device and detector
must be connected to one another in order to
complete configuration. Immediately move on to the
next step.
The detector will time out after 3 minutes
of inactivity. Short beeps will sound and both
LEDs will turn off. If this happens, repeat the
