The water detector 550829 HSWM 10000 is a technical detector that reacts to water and other liquids. As soon as its contact points come into contact with water, it sounds an alarm via an integrated signal generator (85 dB). The detector is usually used on the floor in kitchens, bathrooms or cellars. In this way, damage caused by pipe bursts or burst water hoses from washing machines or dishwashers can be detected at an early stage and prevented by rapid intervention. For more flexibility, the contact points can either be left directly on the detector or attached to a more distant location using the supplied cable.
