Facing downward the leakage sensor is fixed on a mounting plate which is designed with spacers that keep the sensor appr. 5 mm above ground. The goldplated surface and the supply with alternating current prevent electrolysis effects and ensure a reliable switching characteristic even in contaminated media.
The sensor is rear-heated to ensure a reliable function above wet surfaces. The leakage probe is designed to be connected to the B+B universal sensor switching module (SHOP 0557 000-02 / SHOP 0557 0002) or leakage detector (SHOP LEME-24V) which performs the evaluation and provides a switch output with potential-free relay. Suitable liquids are all watery, conductive liquids, such as tap water. The device is not suitable for flammable, aggressive, caustic or electrically insulating liquids.
Areas of application:
- leakage detection especially in difficult areas to access due to limited height
- detection or monitoring of collection trays for leaking fluids
- leakage detection in areas of machine engineering or other industrial applications
