#4: Physical installation

To install the Flood Sensor simply place it sensor on a surface prone
to flooding.
Three electrodes underneath the device should evenly touch the sur-
face.
Extending Flood Sensor contacts with a wired probe:
if you want the accessory to be mounted on a wall or in a distance
from flooding source, sensor should be extended using an external
probe (not included).
we recommend using extension probes or cables designed to detect
water. Probes ends should be coated with non-corrosive metal.
Connection wires should not be longer than 3m and thicker than
18AwG (0.82mm
