#Overview
The EX-LC-S21 is designed for single-point liquid leakage detection in critical equipment areas. Unlike conductivity-based sensors, it uses photoelectric detection technology to identify liquid presence through optical signal changes, making it suitable for both conductive and non-conductive liquids.
It can be connected to BMS, PLC, monitoring platforms, alarm devices, or valve control systems through RS485 Modbus or digital switch output.
#Key Features
- Photoelectric detection for conductive and non-conductive liquids
- Detects pure water, deionized water, oil, alcohol, tap water, acid/alkaline liquid, gasoline, and antifreeze
- RS485 Modbus RTU version or NO/NC digital output version available
- DC9–30V wide voltage input
- IP68 waterproof design
- 1 mm floor-level leak detection accuracy
- Power and alarm indicator lights
- Automatic reset after liquid is removed
- Screw-fixed floor installation
#Applications
- Data centers and server rooms
- Cabinets, UPS areas, and raised floors
- Telecom base stations
- Power distribution rooms and electrical cabinets
- Air conditioning condensate leakage
- Pipeline and valve areas
- Tanks and containers
- Laboratories
- Chemical and semiconductor facilities
