GS-LDA-1
Water Leak Detection System
GS-LDA-1
Sensor Interface Module monitors up to 500 meters of GuardSen sensing cable (GS-LDC-1). When liquid is detected, the GS-LDA-1 unit indicates the leak with an LED and switches a relay to provide local voltage-free contact closure.
The GS-LDA-1 can be used as a standalone leak detection alarm unit or can also communicate to a host monitoring system such as PLC or Monitoring System by using standard RS-485 communications.
The low cost of the GS-LDA-1 makes it economical to build very robust systems with many small independent sensing cable segments. No field calibration is required.
