Water guards are a functional system consisting of electronically actuated solenoid and sensorics. These leak detectors are installed wherever sensitive technology meets electroconductive liquids. This technology is most frequently applied in laboratory facilities as well as for water connections in homes and commercial buildings.
Function
Upon energizing, the control electronics opens the solenoid valve. The sensor can monitor a water film of approximately 0.5 mm and sends a signal to the electronics. The solenoid valve is closed and an audible alarm sounds. This state is reset by interrupting the power supply.
Installation
The solenoid valve is installed in the supply line of the water supply. The sensor is located on the floor and is connected by a cable to the water monitor. Magnetic coil and control electronics are installed in a plastic housing. Power is supplied via a mains cable with Schuko adapter.
