General Description
The flood detector is used to detect the presence of water based liquids at any desired
location such as basements, water tanks or any hidden areas were water can leak without
notice.
Operation Mode
The relay contacts are normally close (N/C), See figure 1.
In the event of a flood, after continuously detection of at least 10 seconds, the relay contacts
will open.
2 seconds after the area has been cleared of water, the relay contacts will close.
Installation
1. The flood detector should be placed close to the floor in a position where water will
accumulate rapidly in case of flooding.
2. Attach the flood sensor in horizontal position close to the floor with the two pins facing
downwards using the enclosed screws or double-sided sticker.
3. Secure the flood sensor cable to the wall.
Note: It is recommended to place the flood sensor cable inside a plastic pipe.
Safety note: Power the detector with a safety approved LPS power supply or control panel,
with a maximum current of 5A.
Testing
1. Using a wet tissue or coin, shorten the two test pins and wait ten seconds for the relay
contacts to open.
2. Disconnect the shorted circuit and the relay contacts will close after two seconds.

Descrizione generale
Il rivelatore antiallagamento è utilizzato per rilevale la presenza di acqua per la protezione
contro l'allagamento di centri di calcolo, locali caldaia, uffici, laboratori, etc.
Modo operativo
Il contatto a relè è normalmente chiuso (N/C), vedere figura 1.
In caso di allagamento, dopo una rilevazione continua di almeno 10 secondi, il contatto a
relè si aprirà.
Due secondi dopo che il rivelatore ritornerà a riposo il contatto a relè si richiuderà.
Installazione
1. Il rivelatore deve essere installato vicino al pavimento, in zone dove l'acqua
potrebbe accumularsi rapidamente in caso di allagamento.

2. Montare il sensore di allagamento in maniera orizzontale rispetto al pavimento
con i due pin rivolti verso il basso utilizzando le due viti fornite o del
nastro bioadesivo.
3. Fissare il cavo del rivelatore al muro.
Nota: E' raccomandabile proteggere il cavo del rivelatore con una protezione in plastica.
Nota di sicurezza: Alimentare il rivelatore con un alimentatore omologato, oppure da una
sorgente di alimentazione proveniente direttamente dalla centrale.
Test
1. Usare un indumento bagnato o una moneta per cortocircuitare i due pin e attendere 10
secondi per l'apertura del contatto.
2. Rimuovere il cortocircuito e verificare che il contatto si apra dopo due secondi.

Descripción General
El detector de inundación se utiliza para detectar la presencia de líquidos acuosos en
cualquier ubicación deseada, tales como sótanos, tanques de agua o cualquier área oculta
donde el agua pueda escaparse sin previo aviso.
Modo de Funcionamiento
Los contactos del relé son normalmente cerrados (N.C.). Ver figura 1.
En caso de inundación, los contactos del relé se abrirán después de una detección
continua de al menos 10 segundos.
Los contactos del relé se cerrarán 2 segundos después de que el área esté nuevamente
libre de agua.
Instalación
1. El detector de inundación debería colocarse próximo al suelo, en un lugar donde el agua
se acumule rápidamente en caso de inundación.
2. Fijar el sensor de inundación en posición horizontal cerca del suelo, con los dos pines
mirando hacia abajo, utilizando los tornillos incluidos o adhesivo de doble cara.
3. Asegurar el cable del sensor de inundación a la pared
Nota: Se recomienda colocar el cable del sensor de inundación dentro de un tubo de
plástico.
Nota de seguridad: Alimentar el detector desde la central o con una fuente de
alimentación lineal con aprobación de seguridad, con una corriente máxima de 5 A.
Comprobación
1. Utilizando un pañuelo de papel mojado o una moneda, hacer un corto entre los dos
pines y esperar 10 segundos a que los contactos del relé se abran.
