Flood Detector
What is the Wet Switch
®
Flood Detector?
he Wet Switch
®
Flood
Detector is a
solid state device designed
to detect the
presence of condensate
water
overflow.
Simply place the Wet Switch
®
Flood Detector
into the secondary drain pan — a normally dry
pan. If the primary drain
pan fails, condensate
water
will overflow into the secondary drain pan.
Upon
sensing moisture, the Wet Switch
®
Flood
Detector will turn the system off (typically
the cause of the condensing water) to
help prevent damage to carpets,
walls, woodwork, ceilings,
and other property.

Hydrophilic Pad
A high tech polymeric fiber quickly draws water into the
sensor array using proven capillary technology.
Integral Feet
Integral feet raise the hydrophilic pad and sensor array
off
the drain pan slightly to prevent nuisance tripping, and pan
corrosion (metal pans only) from interfering with the sensor array.
HYDROPHILIC
PAD
The Wet Switch
®
Flood Detector is designed
to interrupt the operation of cooling systems.
However, it is a water activated switch and can be
used in a variety of other applications.
Stainless Steel Sensor Array
A high tech array of multiple stainless stee
l
sensors detects even a minimal amount
of water drawn into the hydrophilic pad.
Compact Package
The technology is packed
into a 3-5/8” diameter
by 1-1/4” high cylinder,
furnished complete with
5-conductor 22AWG
stranded cable, 6’ long.
Solid State Electronics
Proven electronics prevent
mechanical failure in an
aggressive operating
environment.
Double Throw Relay
Allows for the wiring to
interrupt the system and
sound an alarm (by others)
when moisture is detected.
Multiple Unit Connectivity
Multiple unit connectivity allows for multiple Wet
Switch
®
Flood Detectors to be connected in series to adequately cover
large drain pan areas.
