4. Plug in the water leak detection cable to the female jack on the MT12 sensor and lead the cable to the area where
you need to monitor the presence of water. The packaging also includes 8x VHB sticky pads that can be used to keep
the cable in the desired place.
WARNING: To avoid water incursion on the female connector of the cable, make sure to use the supplied rubber caps to
seal it off. If the open end of the cable gets wet, it might take a long time for the cable to be detected as dry. Please
leave the cable in a dry area for up to two hours and then reconnect it to the sensor.

Testing the Connection

Once the device is mounted at the desired location and added to a network with a compatible gateway, press the
general purpose button on the top of the sensor to wake it up and sync with the nearest gateway. Refer to the
indicators
section for more details on the status of the sensor.
• Solid green (for three seconds) = connected to a gateway.
• Solid amber (for three seconds) = MT could not find a gateway to connect. The RSSI value will still be reported on
the dashboard. All connections < -85dBm will be rejected. Please relocate the sensor closer to the gateway for
better connection quality.
When the sensor is connecting to a gateway for the first time, the LED light will blink green, which indicates that it is
upgrading to the latest firmware configured on the dashboard.
