Optionally, connect the two-wire cable from a liquid detection
sensor (ENVIROMUX-LD shown below- sold separately) to a set
of “DIGITAL IN” contacts.
The twisted orange sensing cable should be placed flat on the
surface (usually the floor) where liquid detection is desired. If
tape is required to hold the sensor in place, be sure to only apply
tape to the ends, exposing as much of the sensor as possible. At
least 5/8" of the sensor must be exposed for it to function. (See
Figure 3)
Figure 3- Secure liquid detection sensor with tape
To test the ENVIROMUX-LD;
1.
Configure the sensor (page 26). (Normal Status set to “Open”, Refresh Rate set to 5 seconds.)
2.
Submerge at least ½ inch of the exposed twisted orange wire (not the wrapped end) for up to 30 seconds. Do NOT use
distilled water as water must be conductive.
3.
Monitor the sensor (page 20) to see the sensor “Value” change from “Open” (dry) to “Closed” (wet).
4.
Dry the exposed area of sensor and the sensor “Value” should change back to “Open” within 30 seconds.
