Suppose you must move the Non-contact Liquid Level Alert to another location or re-configure it to use another WiFi network. How is ti done?
Suppose you must move the Non-contact Liquid Level Alert to another location or re-configure it to use another WiFi network. In that case, you need to delete the information already stored there. To do that, follow the steps below:
- Unplug it from the power outlet and remove the cover.
- Locate and push the CLEAR button. While keeping the CLEAR button depressed, plug your device back into the A/C outlet.
- You will see a steady blue light that will turn off after approximately 10 seconds.
- Release the CLEAR button when you see a second steady Blue light on the circuit board. It indicates that your device has been cleared of WiFi information.
Your device is ready to be configured with a new WiFi network.
If you need to reset your battery powered Water detector to the factory settings or simply need to re-configure it to use another WiFi router, you need to erase old WiFi information first. How is it done?
- Using a Phillips screwdriver remove the four screws holding the lid and remove it
- Remove one battery, wait 5 sec, and insert battery back into clips
- Make sure that there is no blue light on the chip inside
- Locate and push the Clear (button 1) button. This button needs to be held depressed when device is activated to wipe WiFi configuration
- Press the Test (Sensor on older devices) button (button 2) for 2 sec to activate your device. You can remove the float sensor from the white connector to get a better access to the Sensor button
- Release the Clear button when you see a steady blue light
You device has been cleared and can now be connected to a new WiFi network.
If you need to reset your AC powered Water Level Alert to the factory settings or simply need to re-configure it to use another WiFi router, you need to erase old WiFi information first. How is it done?
Some MySpool products use float sensors. What are they and how can they be deployed to detect High or Low water levels?
A float sensor, sometimes called a float switch, is a device that is used to sense the level of a fluid. It acts as a mechanical switch. There is a float ring surrounding the sensor. When the float is at the bottom, the switch is open. When water level rises, it pushes the float upwards and the switch closes. Our float switches come with an o-ring to indicate how far the float ring needs to rise until the switch is closed. When testing your MySpool Water Level Alert, you can think of the float sensor as a push button switch. When the float ring is at the o-ring level or higher, the switch is depressed. Letting the float ring down is equivalent to letting go of the switch. This is how a HIGH-WATER LEVEL Alert works.
To change to a LOW-WATER-LEVEL Alert you need to flip the float ring. This video shows how to to that.
