Function and purpose

For installation at the bottom of IT racks and cabinets; at the bottom of raised floors; at the bottom of trays and under equipment that can potentially leak. When water is in contact with the metal cores, the sensor indicates the emergence of moisture.
Attention! Metal cores are detectors of water, mount strictly downwards as close as its possible to a floor.

Package includes

Connecting WDC / Water detection rope

Image Removed

  1. Connect WDC rope sensor to the VT591 leak sensor.
  2. Wire the WDC rope around or under potentially leaking objects around the perimeter or under raised floors.
  3. Cconnect the sensor to the monitoring unit. Connection is plug-an-play.
  4. Sensor is ready to use.

Connecting WLC / Water leak cable

  1. Connect the "VT591 / Water leak sensor" to the monitoring unit. Connection is plug-an-play.
  2. Connect "VTC / Terminal cable" to VT591 sensor.
  3. Connect "WLC / Water detection cable" to "VTC / Terminal cable".
  4. Connect any additional "WLC / Water detection cables" to each other as shown on picture above to make a chain connection.
  5. Wire the WLC rope around or under potentially leaking objects around the perimeter or under raised floors.
  6. Put a protective cap on the connector of the last WLC cable in a chain.
  7. Sensor is ready to use.

Installation examples

Cable pinouts

Sensor uses standard Vutlan analog sensor cable(RJ11/RJ12 to RJ11/RJ12) for connecting to the monitoring unit. You can find further instructions at: Analog sensors connectionImage AddedImage Added
