The optional Flood Detective Sensor expands the functionality and coverage area of the Flood Detective Alarm Unit.

Each sensor is equipped with eight feet (2.44 meters) of flexible, low-impedance corrosion-resistant wire with a two-prong jack on one end. The sensor itself has a corresponding two-prong receptacle that mates to the jack. This unique design in sensor topography allows multiple sensors to be daisy-chained to a single alarm unit, offering unrivalled flexibility in sensor placement and flood warning coverage. In theory, there is no limit to the number of sensors that can be daisy-chained to a Flood Detective alarm unit. However, Flood Detective Inc recommends you connect no more than five sensors per alarm to help determine which sensor has been activated in the event of an alarm condition.

Each sensor will detect as little as 1/32" (0.8 millimeters) of water, sounding the alarm at the earliest sign of a leak. Each sensor also has an adhesive backing to keep it firmly attached and in optimum orientation to detect water.

Optional sensors, well placed, are an economical way to increase the efficiency and functionality of your Flood Detective. A single alarm unit located inside the kitchen sink cabinet can monitor sensors placed under the sink trap, under the garbage disposal, under the water filter, and under the dishwasher. Daisy-chaining also extends the reach of the sensors, as each additional sensor adds another 8 feet (2.44 meters) of potential coverage.
