Install the MX1 in the area to be monitored (e.g. under carpet, on pipe, in 1.
condensate pan, etc.). Install bottom side down, so that probes will be in contact
with any moisture that collects.
Mount MX1 using self-tapping screw provided. 2.

When the area surrounding the device is dry, there is infinite resistance between
the probes. When liquid comes into contact, the resistance decreases. When the
resistance is <1000 kΩ, the alarm will trigger.
The following table shows typical resistance values for several common solutions.
These values are approximations; the resistance will vary greatly with concentration
of contaminants in the water.
All sensors are factory tested in clean, filtered water at 27VAC. Do not use the MX1
sensor in distilled water.
