| AKCP Intelligent Water Sensors: The AKCP designed and manufactured water sensors are an advanced microprocessor based design capable of detecting distilled water. Most water leak sensors use a technology which measures the resistance of the water and this resistance depends upon the presence of electrolytes in the water. However, water in some areas is too clean, therefore the resistance is high and the typical water detector will not work. Our Water Sensors are 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 product will retain any error condition until it is read via an SNMP get. Therefore if a water sensor encounters a critical condition at any time it will report that condition before it returns to a normal state The sensor 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.
