This water consumption sensor fulfills two functions: On the one hand it determines the water consumption in the house or apartment and on the other hand it detects different types of water leaks and sends alarm messages wirelessly in this case.
The water sound microphone 'listens' to the water and detects all activities of the water thanks to the very good sound conduction of water. These are normal water extractions like toilet flushing or hand washing or even unusual events that indicate a leak or other problems with the water.
The Aqua-Scope water consumption sensor permanently delivers the following measured values:
Normal water consumption per 15 minutes in liters
Normal water consumption per event (duration and water quantity)
Water pressure
Temperature
Presence of water at the external water sensor
The following alarm messages are transmitted by wireless communication:
Pipe Burst
Dripping tap or similar consumption
Micro leakage (requires either an additional motor servo such for Ball Valve or KFR Valve or manual assistance)
Clamping toilet
Overpressure in the water pipe
Unusually high or too long water consumption
External water sensor detects water
Risk of frost
What Water Sound Microphone measures the absolute water pressure as well as the sound transmitted through the water. It must be installed via a 1/5 inch thread either directly in an inspection opening or via a T-connector to the 3/8 inch connection of an edge valve.
Connection to Water Pipe: 1/4 inch (G1/4)
Pressure Range: 0 ... 10 MPa (0 ... 10 bar)
Temperature Range: -10 ... + 50 C Celsius
Water Proof: IP 65
