Product description
Pumps, washing machines, softeners and other water-consuming appliances can cause a lot of damage if an unexpected leakage occurs.
With this water alarm, the water supply stops automatically as soon as a water leak occurs. Complete with wiring. Not suitable as water level control.
Applications
Water valve secures pump or washing machine
You usually only notice a leaking hose or loose coupling when it is too late.
This electronic leakage monitor automatically blocks the water supply. Note the arrow of flow direction when connecting: the input side has a filter mesh.
The plastic water valve operates on safe low voltage, is suitable for tap water and has 3/4" connections. This is the same thread as the hose of a washing machine and Gardena connections.
Interrupts mains power in case of leakage
The alarm switches as soon as the sensor registers water. This causes the mains adapter of the water valve to no longer receive voltage, blocking the water supply. (If the mains voltage fails, the water supply also stops).
Using a junction box, it is possible to simultaneously switch off a 230 V appliance, such as a washing machine or a pump.
You can use this water alarm wherever there is a socket. The box is not weatherproof, so it is only intended for indoor installation.
Interrupts mains power in case of leakage
The alarm switches as soon as the sensor detects water. As a result, the mains adapter of the water valve no longer receives voltage, so the water supply is blocked. (If the mains voltage fails, the water supply also stops).
Using a junction box, it is possible to simultaneously switch off a 230 V appliance, such as a washing machine or a pump.
You can use this water alarm wherever there is a socket. The box is not weatherproof, so it is only intended for indoor placement.
Placement of the water sensor
The water sensor is connected to the alarm unit via a cable. You place this sensor on the floor, under the appliance to be protected or in the place most likely to leak. If desired, you can screw the water sensor in place.
The water alarm set consists of:
1. electronic water alarm
2. water sensor (see options)
3. plastic water valve
4. mains adapter + cabling

FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Connect the cable of the mains adapter to that of the water valve. Then plug the mains adapter into the 230V output of the water alarm. After 20-30 seconds, the light on the mains adapter will come on and the water valve will open. When you wet the sensor, the alarm will switch on. The water valve then blocks the water flow.
