» Mini Flood-Alarm:

The Mini-Flood-Alarm is a powerful compact battery-operated Water Detection Module suitable for monitoring such equipment as air conditioning units, washing machines, dishwashers, coffee machines etc., and for use in bathrooms, attics, basements, or in boats or caravans. The Mini-Flood-Alarm is an entirely new concept in economical protection against water leaks or flooding in smaller domestic, industrial, office or leisure applications.

The Mini-Flood-Alarm is pocket sized, fully self contained and can be taken anywhere. It is powered by a 9V battery which should normally last for a year, and has a 'battery low' warning to advise when the battery should be changed. For prolonged un-manned applications, the Mini-Flood-Alarm can optionally be provided with a mains power adaptor to operate from continuous mains power.

At the base of the Mini-Flood-Alarm is a sensor arm with two copper probes which when in contact with water trigger a powerful pulsing two-tone alarm audible through closed doors. The sensor arm can be used straight or bent, and can be cut if required. A typical application would be for the Mini-Flood-Alarm to be fixed to the wall near a washing machine and for the sensor arm to be under the machine, monitoring for leaks.

The Mini-Flood-Alarm can be provided with optional flexible water detection cable connected to the sensor arm via a terminal strip. This would allow the Mini-Flood-Alarm to be located at 'working height' yet still be monitoring at floor level.  Alternatively, a leader cable could connected the Mini-Flood-Alarm to a remote sensor pad or sensor probe located some distance away, say, inside an air conditioning unit, or in an attic or a basement.

The Mini-Flood-Alarm can also be used for remote alarm monitoring applications where module can be located in, say, the basement but the alarm may require to be heard in the kitchen. In this case the Mini-Flood-Alarm could be provided with an optional secondary Sounder Unit connected to the module by leader cable.
