Wet Switch® Flood Detector®

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

The Wet Switch 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.

HYDROPHILIC PAD

A high tech polymeric fber 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.

STAINLESS STEEL SENSOR ARRAY

A high tech array of multiple stainless steel sensors detects even a minimal amount of water drawn into the hydrophilic pad.

COmPACT PACkAGE

This 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 operatingenvironment.

DOubLE THROW RELAY

Allows for wiring to interrupt system and to sound an alarm (by others) when moisture is detected.

muLTIPLE uNIT CONNECTIvITY

Multiple unit connectivity allows for multiple Wet Switches to be connected in series to adequately cover large drain pan areas.
