WATER DETECTOR
WD 1000
www.h-tronic.de
With the help of a water sensor, the
WD 1000
water
detector can detect unwanted water leakages at
an early stage. As soon as the sensor contacts
come into touch with water, the integrated acous-
tic and visual alarm sounds. Typical applications
include detecting leakages as a result of technical
defects in washing machines, dishwashers or hot
water boilers, early warning in the event of an in-
gress of water due to flooding, as well as addition-
al protection of water level or float switches. The
WD 1000
device thus creates additional security,
offering you protection against major consequen-
tial damage.

DESIGNATED USE
The intended use of the device is the detection of
electrically conductive water, as well as an acoustic
and optical alarm. Any other use than specified is
not permitted!
NOTE:
–
Drinking water, salt water and contaminated water
are electrically conductive
–
Osmosis water, distilled water and pure rainwater
are not or only conditionally electrically conductive
NOTE:
This device left the factory in perfect tech-
nical condition. In order to maintain this condition
and to ensure safe operation, the user must observe
and follow the safety instructions and warning
notes in this instruction manual. Any use other than
that specified is not permitted!
NOTES ON OPERATION
You need a 230 volt socket to operate your
WD
1000
. The user is responsible for compliance with
the rules and regulations of the country in which
the control is operated. This also applies to the
application in which the controller is used.
1. SAFETY
WARNING:
Failure to follow the safety instructions
may result in hazards causing damage to property
but also serious injury or death.
– Do not touch damaged connecting cables.
– Do not work on the unit or on the connecting
cables during a thunderstorm.
– The device may only be used in dry surroundings.
– Do not allow liquids to penetrate the device.
– Check connecting cables and devices regularly
for damage and replace them if damaged.
– Repairs may only be carried out by a specialist.
The
WD 1000
is intended for use in a location
without direct sunlight and with adequate venti-
lation.
Plug the
WD 1000
into an easily accessible socket.
The
WD 1000
must not be changed, rebuilt, modi-
fied or improperly repaired. The
WD 1000
may
only be opened by an authorized electrician!
Do not expose the device to extreme humidity. In-
admissible condensation (condensation of air hu-
midity on the device) can occur if a cold device
is brought into a significantly warmer environment.
Condensates form, which can lead to short circuits
between electrical contacts. In this case, acclima-
tise the device, which has been disconnected from
the mains, for approx. 2 hours at room temperature.
WARNING:
Danger of tripping! Tripping can lead
to serious injuries.
– Do not obstruct escape routes and stairs.
– Lay the cables so that nobody can step on them
or trip over them.
All work on the mains and device may only be
carried out by authorized electricians.
A qualified person is defined as a person, due to
his professional training and experience, has suf-
ficient knowledge in the field of electronics and
the relevant health and safety regulations, accident
prevention regulations and guidelines, generally
has the knowledge of technical regulations (for ex-
ample, DIN standards, VDE regulations, technical
rules, etc.) so that he can assess the safe working
condition of electronic devices.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION
The applicable laws and standards of the country
in which the device is operated must be followed.
The product is not intended to control electrical
equipment that has safety-related functions.
Even in normal operation, there is a risk of unexpect-
ed malfunction due to a failure or malfunction of the
– Dispose of unnecessary packaging material or
store it in a place inaccessible to children. There
is danger of suffocation!
4. INSTALLING THE SENSOR
The location for installing the water sensor must be
carefully selected if you wish to be alerted reliably
and quickly in the event of water damage. To do
this, take heed of any floor inclinations, as well
as the distance between both measuring tips and
the floor. Install the sensor with the measuring tips
pointing downwards, exactly at the distance from
the floor from which an
alarm is to be triggered
in the event of leaking
water. To fix it, please
use the installation hole
in the water sensor and
mounting material suit-
able for the installation
spot.
5. COMMISSIONING
Connect the sensor cable‘s jack plug to the
WD
1000
device and plug the water detector into a
230 volt socket (see
NOTE ON OPERATION
). As
soon as the
“Power“
LED lights up green, the de-
vice is ready for operation.
6. HOW IT WORKS
As soon as the sensor‘s two measuring tips come
into contact with water, a permanent acoustic and
optical alarm signal is emitted. The
“Alarm“
LED
lights up red. You can reset the alarm by first un-
plugging the
WD 1000
device and then plugging
it in again.
NOTE:
Optionally, the alarm can also be ended
automatically after the last water contact. To do
this, the WD 1000 must be opened.
Make sure to switch off the device – pull the WD
1000 out of the mains socket! Loosen the hous-
ing screws and remove the jumper (see illustration
right below).
Refit the housing of the WD 1000 before plugging
it into the mains socket.
DANGER!
The device can only be opened by a
authorized electrician (see SAFETY)! Opening the
device will reveal components which have a live
current and can be hazardous to your
health when touched. Before opening, the power
plug must be pulled out. Any change to the circuit
or the use of components other than those specified
is not permitted.
7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Check the water sensor‘s
measuring tips at regular in-
tervals. If necessary, clean
the metal ends with a damp
cloth. Check regularly to
see if the
WD 1000
de-
vice is working properly
by bridging the water sen-
sor with a metal part.
NOTE:
H-TRONIC GmbH is not liable for damage
and/or loss of any kind, such as, individual or
consequential damage that happens if the water
detector does not detect leaking water and/or an
acoustic or visual alarm is not emitted.
8. SENSOR CABLE EXTENSION
The
WD 1000
device‘s sensor cable including the
3.5 mm jack plug carries low voltage and must
not be laid in the same cable duct with cables that
carry more than 50 V. In addition, the sensor cable
should not be laid in the immediate vicinity of power
cables so as to prevent interference and measure-
ment errors because of this. You can extend the sen-
sor cable up to a length of 20 m (0.5 mm² to 1.5
mm), e.g. art. no 111 46 85 extension cable 5 m.
