Provides a visual display of its last sampled reading and current operating state.
Last Sampled Reading
Normal Reading: DRY
Out of Range Reading (Alarm state): H2O (wet)
Current operating state indicators

Description |
|---|---|
Signal OK |
Indicates its last connection to the facility's network and check-in to OneVue was successful. |
No Signal |
Indicates the device could not establish a connection to the facility's network and check-in to OneVue. For wireless network use, this may be due to the device is not within range of a wireless access point or the wireless signal strength is not adequate for normal operation. If the device is powered by AC or Power over Ethernet (PoE), the yellow LED indicator also flashes during this state. |

Err (Temperature or Water Leak Sensor) |
For a temperature sensor: indicates either of the following: (1) a probe is either removed from or not inserted correctly into the sensor's probe input jack, or can be caused due to the probe is not operating as expected, or (2) the collection period must be reset, which may result from inserting a new probe or reinserting a probe. To clear the error state and reset the Lo/Hi collection period, verify the probe is inserted into the sensor jack and press and release the sensor Silence (bell) button For a water leak sensor: indicates the water detector is either removed from or not inserted correctly into the sensor's input jack or can be caused due to the detector is not operating as expected. During this error:

Low Battery icon |
Indicates an Alarm state due to its estimated battery life is less than 25%. To avoid loss of battery power, be sure to replace its batteries. Requires 2 AA Lithium AA batteries. The use of alkaline batteries is not recommended. |
Lbat |
Indicates an Alarm state due to its battery level is critically low. Replace its batteries immediately. Requires 2 AA Lithium AA batteries. The use of alkaline batteries is not recommended. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
Up |
Indicates a firmware update is currently being applied to the device. Do not remove power during this state. When the firmware update is complete, UP is no longer displayed. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
Con |
The device is in configuration mode. The config icon is also displayed. Data is not logged or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
|
H \ / F (HwF) |
Indicates an internal hardware failure. This is due to the main processor cannot communicate with the internal sensing element. Contact Primex Technical Support for assistance. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
FTST |
Indicates the sensor is in a Factory Test Mode state. A sensor enters Factory Test Mode when its Silence button This mode does not impact the use of the sensor or the logged readings stored in its local memory. The purpose of this mode is for use by Primex during factory testing. When a sensor has entered this mode, it performs a factory test and power-cycles (turns off and on), which can take up to approximately 1 minute. Once the factory test is complete, the sensor returns to its normal operating mode. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
A sensor has two service buttons located on the front of the device.
A Primex sensor has three LED indicators (green, yellow, and red) that provide a visual indicator of its current state.
Connects to Water Leak Sensor (E)
-
Detector contacts
Detects water bridge across the two metal contacts located on the bottom side of the Water Detector. A change to the voltage reading measurement detects a dry or wet condition. When water reaches both metal contacts, activates a change to the voltage reading measurement that is then received by Water Leak Sensor.
Integrated hanger for high-level water monitoring
Detector input; daisy chaining up to four water detectors to one Water Leak Sensor
AC power; Mini B port
Water Detector; Mini B port
PoE/Ethernet port (PoE model only)
Contact Closure removable terminal block (enabled with Water Leak & Contact Closure Sensor model only)
Primex sensors are equipped with a reading alarm audio alert. The audio alert is activated when a reading is out of range and the time period it has been out of range has exceeded the time period set in its Alarm Delay. Be default, the audio alert is disabled.
When the audio alert is enabled (disabled by default) and the sensor is in a reading Alarm state, the sensor emits an audio beep at one second intervals. Also, when powered by AC or PoE, the sensor's red LED flashes once per second.
During a reading Alarm state, pressing and immediately releasing the silence button
clears the audio alert and stops the red LED from flashing, but does not acknowledge the alert. The audio alert resumes once the time period of the Resume Audio Alert setting has been reached.Audio alert settings are configured from a sensor's gateway profile.
