INTRODUCTION
The WSG Wireless Zone Water Detection sensor provides
remote leak detection without running wires. Contact data is
sent from the sensor to the WSG30 via an integrated
2.4GHz Wireless radio. The device can transmit its signal
up to 300’ indoors and even greater distances when it has
line-of-site. The WSG30 series of Wireless sensors also feature
mesh networking technology, which allows each sensor to be used as either a Wireless sensor/router or
as a low-power battery operated sensor (also referred to as an end point). When used as a router, greater
distances can be realized because each sensor/router adds another 300’ of range to the system. The
sensor comes with 3 AA alkaline batteries which will power the sensor for up to 2 years (end point
mode). An optional plug-in power supply is also available, in which case the batteries function as
backup power if main AC power fails (power supply required for router mode).
NOTE: Do not install the sensor in a dirty, humid, or corrosive environment . Do not install the
sensor in close proximity to other 2 .4GHz devices (WiFi, etc) . Do not install the device inside of a
metallic enclosure as this will impede it’s ability to Wirelessly communicate with the WSG30 .

InstallatIon suMMary
1) Locate the sensor serial number on the small white label inside the sensor enclosure .
2) Enter the serial number into the WSG30 using the web page or keypad.
3) Mount the sensor.
4) Attach power supply if using as a router and install the batteries.
5) Watch the LCD or web page to confirm that the sensor has connected with the WSG30.
sensor regIstratIon
Before you power-up the sensor you must enter the serial number, located on the small white label
inside the sensor enclosure, into the WSG30. You can do this with the WSG30 web page or you can
enter it using the WSG30 keypad (see Sensor Registration earlier in this manual). Just be sure to jot
down the serial number before you attach the sensor to the wall.
Battery InForMatIon
The Wireless Spot Water Detection Sensor can operate for up to 2 years on a good set of AA alkaline
batteries when the sensor is configured as an end device with a 3 second sampling interval. Faster
sampling intervals will reduce battery life.
Battery InstallatIon
Remove the four screws on the bottom of the enclosure. Carefully separate the top of the enclosure from
the bottom. Locate the three battery clips on the circuit board. Take note of the polarity markings iden-
tifying the positive and negative ends of the batteries. Install the batteries in the clips. Re-attach the top
and bottom cover with the four screws.
