Mounting location guidelines
The location of the sensor and detector impacts its use and operation. Be sure to identify a location that meets the
following guidelines. For mounting illustrations, see topic Water Leak Sensor application uses [4].
Water Leak Sensor location
• Sensor is not water-resistant or waterproof. Mount at a minimum of 3 ft. (0.91 m) above floor level; avoid exposing
device to water.
• Easily accessible for maintenance and clear from obstructions. Avoid a location that would interfere with the use of
the monitored unit or area.
• Wireless Network use
It's recommended that the device is in a clear line of sight to a wireless access point. If the location is NOT in a clear
line of sight to a wireless access point, its LCD screen must be above the unit it's being mounted to.
Wireless signal strength of -60db or better at the mounting location. It's recommended to measure the strength with
a Wi-Fi analyzer app on a mobile phone.
• PoE/Ethernet use
An open, active network port in close proximity to the mounting location.
• AC power
Outlet within 5 ft. (1.5 m) from its mounting location. Devices using AC or PoE power can also use battery power as a
backup power source in the event of a power loss. During battery backup, the device operates on battery power and
continues to log and transmit readings until the primary power source is restored.
