water leak detection cable
The section of the pipe where the PowerX
Ultrasonic Sensor will be installed has to be
clean, free of rust, scale, moisture, paint, or
other coatings.
Strap the PowerX Ultrasonic Sensor to the
clean pipe section using the included strap
nut and screws. Be sure that the PowerX
Ultrasonic Sensor is close enough to the
PowerX Water for the data transmission
cable to reach.
Then connect PowerX Water to the PowerX
Ultrasonic Sensor using the data transmission
cable.
