1. 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.

3.1 Features Detects water seepage every 3 seconds. Emits loud alarm with 90dB once triggered. High or low sensor sensitivity selectable to meet different requirements. Works with GW1000 Wi-Fi gateway (sold separately) to complete the wifi configuration on WS View application. View live sensor data on the app once wifi configuration done. Email alerts available once the gateway device added successfully on our free Ecowitt Weather Server: https://www.ecowitt.net.
to 4 channels water leak sensors. 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 .

2. Before inserting the batteries, find the dip switches instruction above the battery compartment and set the sensor sensitivity level and channel number: 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.
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.
Switch in down position. position.
3.Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries. The LED indicator will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 60 seconds (the sensor transmission update period). Note: If no LED light up or is lighted permanently, make sure the battery is inserted the correct way or a proper reset is happened. Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the sensor. 4.
selected. 5.Close the battery door. Repeat for the additional remote transmitters(sold separately), verifying each remote is on a different channel. 5. 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.
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.
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 it’s on the correct channel you.
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 the customer service. 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.
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.
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.
9.Specification Power: 2X 1.5V AAA batteries(not included) Sensor Size: 95x45x22.
Note: Once water seepage is detected, the device will emit 90dB alarm, and the ecowitt.net will push email alerts at the same time. 10.Warranty Information We disclaim any responsibility for any technical error or printing error, or the consequences thereof.
