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.
Page 13
Setup R Install the main unit 1 m or higher above the floor. The main unit is not waterproof; if it becomes wet, the sensor may become damaged and water leaks will not be detected properly.

Setup Installing the probe unit on a floor When installing the probe unit on a floor, use the double-sided tape to attach the probe unit directly to the floor. Note: R If the probe unit is inserted into the wall mounting adaptor and attached to a floor, the probes will be too far from the floor and therefore water leaks can only be detected after the leaked water has become deep enough to touch the probes.
