Undetected water damage, such as that caused by leaking pipes or corroded water heaters, cost homeowners tensof thousands of dollars each year. Such repairs are time consuming and costly to correct. Applications could includecomputer room sub-floor areas, telephone equipment rooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, any areas adjacent to a waterstorage tank or piping. Also evaporative air conditioners, drip pans, overflows and/or drains.Using no mechanical parts, the GRI Water Sensors are triggered by a moisture bridge across the sensor contacts.

The 2600 Closed Loop Sensors use an external power source to energize a built-in relay contact so battery power is notrecommended. Used in a closed loop configuration, an alarm condition will occur when moisture is detected, or if power to thesensor is lost, and if the sensor should fail. The relay output can be wired directly to any alarm panel or can be used to actuate anexternal device, i.e. transmitter, annunciator, etc.
