Overview<\/h2>\n\n
The Ethernet leakage sensor enables the reliable detection of water and other conductive liquids and represents a consistent further development of the previous sensor technology and functionality. In contrast to previous versions, the sensor is connected directly via Ethernet (PoE) and can therefore be installed independently of other Kentix devices with digital inputs. <\/p>\n\n
The sensor is equipped with a highly sensitive integrated point sensor on the underside, which is triggered by a quantity of water from approx. 5 ml on an area of 5 \u00d7 5 cm. The leakage sensor also has two sensor cables (rope sensors) made of conductive polymer material. These are available in lengths of 2 x 10 m or 2 x 20 m. The trigger sensitivity of the rope sensors, for example, is approx. 5 ml of water over a cable length of 20 cm. Both the point sensor and the rope sensors can be parameterized on the software side so that the sensitivity can be individually adjusted.     The measurements are carried out independently of each other and enable parallel operation of both Rope sensors as well as a separate point measurement.  <\/p>\n\n
To increase operational safety, the leakage sensor has integrated sabotage detection by means of a 3-axis acceleration sensor with position detection, so that unauthorized movements, position changes or manipulation attempts can be detected.<\/p>\n\n
Evaluation and configuration is carried out via the integrated KentixONE software using an integrated web server, so that the leakage sensor can also be operated as a stand-alone device without additional Kentix systems.<\/p>\n\n
