Water Leak Sensor; Mounting Your Th Sensor - La Crosse CA79103/V11 Setup Manual

SENSORS
Sensor Placement and Mounting
Positioning Your Water Leak Sensor
• The sensor will work best when simply placed on a floor.
It will begin to detect water at 0.787mm (0.031 inches).
• If sensor is placed vertically (i.e. hung
inside a sump pump) the depth of the
water needs to be at least 6.35mm
(0.25 inches) high to trigger the sensor.
IMPORTANT:
The metal contacts on the sensor should not be in contact with other metal.
This will cause false WET readings and may damage the sensor.
Water Leak Sensor LED Light
Blue Light: Normal Transmission
The light will occasionally flash blue,
indicating it is still transmitting correctly
and no water has been detected.
Mounting Your Thermo-Hygro Sensor
• Use the hole at the top to hang your sensor
from the back using a nail. Or, insert one
mounting screw through the front of your sensor.
• Mount your sensor on a north-facing wall or in
any shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail is
preferred to avoid inaccurate readings from
the sun.
Red Light: Water Detected
The LED light will flash red twice every
5 seconds until dry.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to
the station is up to 121 meters (400 feet) in open
air, not including walls or floors.
• Be sure your sensor is mounted vertically,
to allow moisture to drain out properly.
