Undetected water damage, such as that caused by leaking pipes or corroded
water heaters, cost homeowners tens of thousands of dollars each year.
Such
repairs are time consuming and costly to correct. Applications could include
computer room sub-floor areas, telephone equipment rooms, bathrooms, laundry
rooms, any areas adjacent to a water storage tank or piping.
Also evaporative
air conditioners, drip pans, overflows and/or drains.
Using no mechanical parts, the GRI Water Sensors are triggered by a moisture
bridge across the sensor contacts.
The GRI Water Sensors can be installed
to detect a layer of water as minute as 1/16 of an inch in depth.
The 2600 Closed Loop Sensors use an external power source to energize a
built-in relay contact so battery power is not recommended.
Used in a closed loop
configuration, an alarm condition will occur when moisture is detected, or if power
to the sensor is lost, and if the sensor should fail.
The relay output can be wired
directly to any alarm panel or can be used to actuate an external device, i.e. transmitter,
annunciator, etc.
The 2500 Open Loop Sensors use an external power source which will energize
a built-in relay contact when water is detected.
With this configuration the
sensors are not fail safe.
The relay output can be wired directly to any alarm panel
or can be used to actuate an external device, i.e. transmitter, annunciator, etc.
