#4: Physical installation
To install the Flood Sensor simply place it sensor on a surface prone
to ooding.
Three electrodes underneath the device should evenly touch the sur-
face.
If you want the accessory to be mounted on a wall or in a distance
from ooding source, sensor should be extended using an external
probe (not included).
We recommend using extension probes or cables designed to detect
water. Probes ends should be coated with non-corrosive metal.
Connection wires should not be longer than 3m and thicker than
18AWG (0.82mm
2
).
NOTE
Before completing
the installation it is
recommended to test
sensor’s operation by
placing the entire sen-
sor or sensor probe
onto water surface.
