3. Installing Leak Sensor
The leak sensor monitors for pooling water on a flat surface. The leak sensor can be mounted near
the sump pit or other areas where water will pool in the event of a leak. Typical locations are near a
water heater or HVAC system which can leak during a malfunction. The sensor needs to be placed
flat on the floor with the metal sensing elements down. The sensor must be submerged in a
minimum pool of water of 1/8” in depth before activating. The wires do not have polarity and cannot
be wired backwards. Do not increase the length of this sensor beyond the length provided. The leak
sensor can be wired into the middle and far left terminal.
