KD Scientific has introduced the new OS-250, a system which detects spills and leaks before they cause a problem in an expensive microscope or other piece of equipment
As little as three drops of liquid will cause the OS-250 to react.
The system consists of a moisture sensing mat and control unit.
The mat is made from a material specially developed for detecting liquid spills.
It is connected to the control unit by a simple connection cable.
When liquid is detected on the sensing mat the OS-250 controller will sound an audible alarm, flash an LED and will turn off the power of any device plugged into the single outlet, solid state power controller.
The switched power outlet can control up to 8amps.
The OS-250 spill sensor is supplied with the controller and four reusable 30x30cm mats that can be cut to any size with a sharp scissors or knife.
It also includes the connector cable between the mat and the controller.
Applications for the OS-250 spill detector exist in any areas where spills will cause problems or damage to equipment.
