Product Information
Full details
The Roombanker High-Precision Water Leak Detector is an essential tool for homeowners and property managers looking to prevent water damage in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies. Its primary benefit is the combination of long-range RBF wireless technology and an extended probe cable that catches leaks in hard-to-reach spots, though users should be aware that it requires a separate Roombanker Security Hub to function within an integrated smart home system.

FAQs
Does this detector work without a Hub?
No, a Roombanker Security Hub is required for integration, app notifications, and system management.
What battery does the detector use?
It uses a CR2032 battery, which provides approximately 2.2 years of standby time.
Is the detector fully submersible?
The device has an IP66 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, but it should not be permanently submerged.
How far can the device be from the Hub?
It supports communication ranges up to 1,600 meters in open-field conditions using RBF wireless technology.
Can I extend the cable further?
The device comes with a specific extension cable; using unofficial extensions may affect detection accuracy.
How do I know when the battery is low?
Battery status can be monitored directly through the RB Link App, which will alert you when it is time for a replacement.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the detector is within range of the hub and that you are in pairing mode in the RB Link App.
False alerts occurring
Check the sensor contacts for debris, dust, or accidental contact with moisture-prone surfaces; clean with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the detector, ensure your Roombanker Security Hub is powered and online. Use the RB Link App to scan the device and pair it with your existing network. Once added, position the sensor at the lowest point of the area you wish to monitor. Ensure the probe contacts are clean and dry during installation. To care for the device, periodically wipe the sensor contacts with a dry, clean cloth to remove dust or mineral buildup that could trigger a false positive. Check the battery level within the RB Link App every six months to ensure continued protection.
