Mounting your Flood Sensor

Choose an appropriate location to place the flood detector. Avoid mounting the transmitter portion of the device behind a metal object such as a washing machine
Place the probe in the lowest part of the room where water is expected to pool. In the event of a flood, both points on the probe will need to touch water in order to trigger an alarm. The probes should be facing downward. Secure the flood sensor to the wall with the provided screws
Place the transmitter as high up on the wall as possible to prevent it from coming in contact with water. Secure the transmitter to the wall with the provided two-sided adhesive tape
