Mounting
The sensor can be mounted to a wall or lie flat on the floor. To maximize the coverage of the WaterRope, install the sensor
close to the area to be monitored. For wall mounting, install the Water Detection Sensor close to the floor. Install the two
drywall anchors (if necessary) and attach the Water Detection Sensor using the two #6 tapping screws. When installing the
sensor on the floor, attach the four rubber feet to the bottom of the enclosure.

Configuration
All IMS Solution sensors are auto-configured when you plug them into the Host or Node. When a new sensor is plugged
into the Host or Node, the configuration is set to the factory default via the Sensor Template. If you have modified these
templates, the configuration will be set to the modified configuration. When a sensor is removed, or the connection is dis-
rupted, the configuration data remains intact but the sensor will go into trouble status and generate a trouble alarm. When
the sensor is plugged in again, or the connection is re-established, configuration data remains unchanged and the sensor
returns to normal operating condition.
Caution: Removing a sensor for less than 60 seconds does not produce a trouble alarm. Removing or
unplugging a sensor for more than 60 seconds or plugging in a different sensor at any time will cause a trouble
alarm.
