As few as three drops of liquid will cause the system to react, sounding an audible alarm, flashing an LED, and turning off the power of any device plugged into the controller
KD Scientific has released its OS 250, a system which detects spills and leaks before they cause a problem.
As few as three drops of liquid will cause the OS 250 to react.
The system consists of a moisture sensing mat, a material specially developed for detecting liquid spills.
A simple connection between the mat and 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 8A.
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.
The overall dimensions of the controller are 4.6x8.2x18cm.
Applications for the OS 250 are in pharmaceutical, chemical, petrochemical, biotechnology, semiconductor, plastics, industrial, government, and scientific research and development markets.
