PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Refer to Figure 1.  The SS is activated by liquid bridging the adjustable sensors (A & A).  The unit can detect 

water film from zero height, (sensors turned out to make contact with the floor), to 1/8" height, (sensors turned 

all the way in).  The units are factory adjusted to activate with 1/32" water film height which is satisfactory for 

most applications.  The pads B1, B2, B3 provide a gap between the case and the surface to admit water under 

the unit for detection.  CAUTION:  If the pads are removed, the unit may form a seal with the surface and prohibit 

the sensors from detecting water.  If desired, the self-adhesive pad feature may be used by peeling off the thin 

protective layer from each pad.  The unit will remain  in place when located on the mounting surface.  Replace

ment pads are available from Dorlen at no charge.

       

NOTE:

Although the two sensors (A & A) may be adjusted to make contact with the surface, it is recommended 

that a small gap be set between the sensors and the surface so undesired activation, caused by damp

-

ness or dirt film, does not occur.
