Introduction Thanks for purchasing this WH55E wireless multi-channel water leak detection sensor. The alarm will be triggered when water seepage is detected. The wireless signal can be received by the GW1000 Wi-Fi Gateway(sold separately) and the sensor data can be viewed on our WS View mobile application after the Wi-Fi configuration done. This device will also work with the HP2551/HP3500/HP3501 weather station(all sold separately) in the future.

Channel names can be edited both on the app and Ecowitt Weather Server. Battery power level display on the WS View App 4. Setup Guide 4.1 Install batteries 1.Remove the battery door on the back of the transmitter(s) by taking off the cover, as shown in Figure 2 . 8 Figure 2: Battery installation 9 2. Before inserting the batteries, find the dip above switches battery instruction compartment and set the sensor sensitivity level and channel number:
the Sensitivity Level: To change the sensor sensitivity of detection (High or Low), change Dip Switch 3, as referenced in Figure 3. High sensitivity: The water leakage alarm will be triggered when the detected water leak capacitance value equals to or over 60PF and be muted when the value equals to or lower 50PF. 10 Low sensitivity: The water leakage alarm will be triggered when the detected water leak capacitance value equals to or over 90PF and be muted when the value equals to or lower 80PF. Channel Number: This device supports up to four sensors. To set each channel number, change Dip Switches 1 and 2 , as referenced in Figure 3. 11 Switch in down position. Switch in up position.

Sensor Placement This device can be placed at multi locations include under-the-sink cabinet in a kitchen or bathroom, near a water heater, a basements, a sump pump, a toilet, a washer, a humidifier, an AC unit, or ice-making refrigerator. 14 6. Wi-Fi Configuration with gateway If you want to view the water leak sensor data on your mobile application and receive email alerts on our weather server, you need to pair this device with our GW1000 Wi-Fi Gateway
(sold separately). 6.1 Pair with Gateway If the GW1000 has been in operation, and you have never had any WH55E multi-channel water leak sensor(s) setup before, just power up the sensor(s) and GW1000 will pick the sensor data automatically. 15 If one WH55E sensor has been hooked on GW1000 before, and you have a new WH55E sensor to replace the old one, just power off the old sensor and power on the new sensor, the gateway will pick up the new sensor data automatically. Then you may go to the Sensor ID page of the app (requires the Wi-Fi configuration done first) to Re-register or disable sensor(s) to ensure its on the correct channel you. 16 6.2 Wi-Fi Connection for the Gateway For this part, please refer to the manual of the GW1000 Wi-Fi gateway. Any question, please contact service. the customer 7. View Online Data with WS View When the Wi-Fi configuration is done, you may view leakage detection condition as well as the sensor battery level on WS view App at the live data page. 17 18 Note: It requires your phone and the gateway using the same network to view your sensor data on the WS View app. To remote monitor the sensor data, please upload the data to our free Ecowitt Weather Server: https://www.ecowitt.net. Detailed operation instructions can be found on the GW1000 manual. Any question, please feel free to contact our customer service at support@ecowitt.com 19 8. Set Email Alerts Once your device added successfully on the Ecowitt Weather server, you may set alerts for the water leak sensor(s) on the website to get email notifications. 20 21 9.Specification Power: 2X 1.5V AAA batteries(not included) Sensor Size: 95x45x22.8mm Frequency: 915/868/433Mhz(optional) Wireless transmitting range: 100M(300feet) Alarm Decibel: 90dB Sensor detecting interval: 3 seconds Sensor reporting interval: 60 seconds Waterproof level: IP44 Working temperature: 0~50C(32~122F) 22 Note: Once water seepage is detected, the device will and the ecowitt.net will push email alerts at the same time. emit 90dB alarm, 10.Warranty Information We disclaim any responsibility for any technical error or printing error, or the consequences thereof.
