Q: What are the power requirements for the WB200?

A: 8 – 29 Volts DC @ 35mA or 8 – 28 Volts AC @ 100mA 

Q: What is the sensor part number?

A: W-S-U 

Q: Can I use a supervised sensor (W-S-S)

A: No 

Q: How to I wire multiple sensors?

A: You need to run them in parallel. 

Q: Can the probes be extended?

A: Yes – 1 – 2 sensors; max recommended distance of 200’ (61 m) or 3 – 6 sensors; max recommended distance of 100’ (30.5 m) 

Q: What is the cause if the sensor keeps going into false alarm?

A: If sensor is placed on a concrete floor this can cause false alarms (put a piece of wax paper under the sensor).  Power loss will also cause a false alarm. 

Q: How much water does it take to trip the sensor?

A: There needs to be a bridge across two of the metal contacts on the sensor.
