Your Water Leak Sensor works with La Crosse View compatible units, including:
CA79103 •CA80550 •CA81199
Benefits of connecting your sensor to the La Crosse View™ app:
• When the sensor is connected to the La Crosse View app, you’ll have access to its status anywhere
on the go.
• You can even setup alerts which will send you push notifications for when water is detected, when
water is no longer detected, the connection is lost, or when the sensor’s batteries are low.
• This information can also easily be shared with friends and family.

POSITIONING
• The sensor will work best when simply placed on a floor. It will begin to detect water at 0.031 inches
(0.787mm).
• If sensor is placed vertically (Ex: hung inside a sump pump) the depth of the water needs to be at
least 0.25 inches (6.35mm) high to trigger the sensor.
IMPORTANT: The metal contacts on the sensor should not be in contact with other metal. This will cause
false WET readings and may damage the sensor.
