Preparing the Water Leak Sensor for Installation
The Water Leak Sensor is composed of two sections

linked together with a cable The Sensor (transmitter)

and the Probe. Before installing, remove the yellow

battery isolation tape from the Sensor. This activates

the Lithium battery inside. The approximate battery

life is up to two years. When replacing batteries it is

recommended to replace all batteries in a Zone at the

same time in order ensure proper operation of the

entire system.
Installation
The Probe section will need to be mounted first. It is

intended to be positioned with the contacts pointing

down. Find a suitable location where water could

accumulate if a leak were to occur (eg. along the

baseboard of wall).
You will need to determine if the surface to mount the

Probe is smooth or rough/porous. If smooth you can
use one piece of the included double sided tape. When

using doublesided tape apply to clean dry surface.

Remove one side of the tape and attach it to the

back side of the Probe. Once the mounting surface is

ready, remove the other side of the double side tape

and position probe so that the metal contacts are

pointing down, touching the floor and the back of the

Probe (with the double side tape) is up against the

wall, baseboard or mounting plate. Apply pressure to

secure the Probe to the surface.
If the mounting surface is rough or porous, you will

need to use the alternate mounting plate and screws

(included). Secure the plate to the desired location with

the screws.
