Water Detectors

The water detector is an advanced microprocessor based design capable of detecting distilled water. This water detector is designed and manufactured by AKCP. Most water detectors use a technology which measures the resistance of the water. This resistance depends upon the presence of electrolytes in the water. The water in some areas is too clean, therefore the resistance is high and the typical water detector will not work. Our water Detector is an exclusive design capable of detecting the presence of even distilled water. The water detector contains microprocessor controlled capacitance measuring circuitry. This is far more precise than standard commercially available water detectors which measure the resistance of water. The resistance of water can vary depending upon the impurities in the water. Normal resistance type monitors are unable to detect the presence of distilled water due to its high resistance. The entire circuit is encased in epoxy allowing the water detector to function while submerged in water. The sensorProbe will retain any error condition until it is read via an snmp get. Therefore if a water detector encounters a critical condition at any time it will report that condition before it returns to a normal state The water Detector detects water leaks and flooding with a WET/DRY indication in software. SNMP polling via snmp get available. Web browser interface available. When an alarm condition is activated the description and location of the fault can be sent via email, page.
