A universal WLD (Water Leak Detection) sensor, with one WLD sensing cable input and 2 kinds of outputs.
- Relay Output: Sensor WLD Relay requires an external 12V power supply, OK / Water / Disconnected states of WLD detection input are signaled by relay output (NO/NC).
- 1W-UNI (RJ11) Output: Sensor WLD Relay is connected by RJ11 cable to any HWg device (STE2, Poseidon, Ares, ...) as a standard external sensor.
Sensor WLD Relay is input for one WLD zone. Several sensors can be used with one Poseidon / Ares device for WLD detection in several zones.
The sensor detects water occurrence by soak-detecting cable. Soaking or interrupting of cable cause the switching of relay contact.
- External WLD sensor for al RJ11 (1W-UNI) devices (Poseidon2, Ares, STE2, ...)
- Sensor WLD Relay 1W-UNI is powered from RJ11
- WLD input is 1 water detection zone up to 185 meters
- Even the smallest volume of water, ethylene glycol, or other conductive liquid is detected anywhere along the entire length of the sensing cable
- WLD by HWg is unique long-term stable technology because of none Bend / Twist / Grip limits
- Water leak detector for security systems
- Water detection under raised floors
- Leaky pipe detection (cable wrapped along the pipe)
- Protection against floods from roof lights (sensing cable routed along the walls)
- Detection of water leaks in drip trays
- Detection of water leaks under air-conditioning outlets
WLD relay installation
Sensor WLD Relay can be used as a Standalone WLD sensor (power + relay output) or as a 1W-UNI sensor connected to any STE2, Poseidon2, HWg-Ares, or other HWg devices.
WLD sensing cable
- WLD sensing cable detects liquid along the entire length of the sensing cable
- even the smallest volume of water, ethylene glycol, or other conductive liquid
- re-usable (cable can be cleaned, dried & used again)
- Zone detection states: OK / Flooded / WLD cable disconnected
- The „WLD sensing cable A“
- supplied in length from 2m to 50m (up to 185 meters/zone in total)
- can be extended by non-sensing WLD prolong cable A
- terminator is required at the end of the zone (included in the default WLD sensing cable A - 2+2)
WLD sensing cable features
- No Bend limit: WLD sensing cable Type A is not limited by any bending radius. The sensing cable can be knotted and still works properly.
- No Twist limit: WLD sensing cable Type A can be twisted as any other electrical cable.
- No Grip limit: Water detection functionality is not limited by point pressure within a reasonable range.
WLD sensing cable components
- Connection cable - 2m (Green terminal block, 2m, Terminator)
- WLD Sensing cable A - 2m / 10m / 50m
- WLD prolong cable A - 5m
WLD sensing cable vs. Flood detectors
Flood detection requires the installation of a detector in a place where water will likely be located after leakages from various sources of flooding (cracked water pipes, glycol from the cooling system, wastewater). The Flood detector has to get entirely flooded to trigger an alarm. WLD sensing cable detects liquid along the entire length of the sensing cable and even the smallest amount of liquid can send the alert.
HW group offers several products that provide ideal solutions for flood and water leak detection. See the table below and discover the best solution for your situation:
