Setup
R Touching the metal probes with your hand may cause a water leak to be
detected. This is not a defect.
R Install the probe unit so that the metal probes are horizontal. A water leak can
only be detected if water touches both of the metal probes; if water touches only
one of the probes, a water leak will not be detected.
Correct installation
Metal probes are horizontal to the
floor
Installation location
Install the water leak sensor in a basement, kitchen, utility room, or anywhere you
want to detect a water leak. Common installation examples include near a washing
machine, hot water heater, or a location where a water leak has occurred in the
past.
Note:
R Install the probe unit so that its metal probes are about 1 mm above the floor. If
the probes touch the floor, the sensor may make false detections. If the probes
are too far from the floor, water leaks can only be detected after the leaked
water has become deep enough to touch the probes.
