Preparation

Approx. 5 minutes

What's in the box

  • Drainbee with wall mount
  • Submersible probe with 5 m cable
  • Power adapter 5 V 1.5 A
  • 4× screws with wall plugs
  • 4× cable ties for strain relief

Note about the probe

The probe contains a sensitive membrane. Protect it from knocks and lower it into the water slowly and carefully.

Cables and pipes in the wall

Make sure you don't damage any power or water lines when drilling.

Location

Close to the pump sump, with a stable Wi-Fi signal (2.4 GHz) and a power outlet. The probe and the device can be at most 4–5 m apart.

Tools

Drill, 5 mm drill bit, Phillips screwdriver. A spirit level is recommended. Your smartphone for the Wi-Fi setup.

Installation

Approx. 5 minutes

  1. Step 1

    Mount the wall bracket

    Fix it to the wall with up to four screws and wall plugs. The arrow on the bracket must point upwards. Check beforehand that the probe cable reaches Drainbee.

  2. Step 2

    Click Drainbee into place

    Slide Drainbee onto the bracket from top to bottom with a little pressure until it clicks into place.

  3. Step 3

    Lower and connect the probe

    As deep into the pump sump as possible, ideally down to the pump's intake – at least 1 cm above the floor. Secure the cable to pipes with the cable ties and plug it into Drainbee's socket.

    Protect the membrane: lower the probe slowly and carefully.
