Product description
The water-level detector contains a relay contact. It switches as soon as the sensor comes into contact with water. This level detector can trigger an external acoustic alarm (horn) or an optical alarm (flashing light). For use as a water alarm (tip: excessive water level in crawl space), there is the acoustic + optical alarm option. Direct control of another 230 Volt device (such as a valve or shut-off valve) is also possible.
Applications
The water level detector can be used for water detection (as a water alarm detector), to monitor the water level (e.g. basement, basin or pond), to check the water level (e.g. rainwater storage) or as a fill level indicator for a water tank.
Pump protection via 230 V output
In the alarm situation, the relay provides 230 volts at the output (make contact). Tip: via the break contact of the relay (see manual), you can switch off a device when the sensor no longer detects water. In this way, a pump can be automatically switched off in the event of dryness.
Setting the switching point
The mounting height of the sensor electrodes determines the switching point of the water level detector. The sensor is equipped with a detachable plastic mounting bracket. There is no reset; approximately 20 seconds after the sensor goes dry, the relay will automatically switch back. This prevents oscillation (continuous switching on and off) due to wavy water. The red LED indicates the switching state of the relay. This water-level detector is complete with matching water sensor (see image), which has a fixed 10 m connecting cable.
