The Waterbug Hardwired Flood Detector operates on 12 or 24 Volt AC/DC and has a form C relay output that can be connected to alarm panels, bells, dialers, etc. The unit can also monitor up to as many as six sensor probes wired in parallel, up to 100 feet away using 22-18 AWG twisted pair. Each sensor probe has two contacts. So when a film of water forms a bridge between these contacts, the unit senses this and triggers the alarm output.

Additionally, the sensor will not alarm due to condensation or high humidity. One standard surface sensor is included with the unit. This detector works with the Unsupervised Water Sensor for WaterBug.

Waterbug Hardwired Flood Detector Features:
