SHP Steriltechnik additional sensor Aquastop
This water sensor is a sophisticated and versatile extension for systems in which liquid monitoring is a top priority. It was developed to add an additional measuring point to the existing Aquastop technology, which is particularly useful in demanding areas with an increased risk of liquid leaks. Thanks to its robust construction made of high-quality V2A 1.4301 and its sophisticated cable design, this sensor is particularly recommended for laboratories and sterilization departments where reliable process safety is essential. Similarly equipped systems such as the [SHP Steriltechnik Aquastop-Basis] provide a solid foundation, but this additional sensor relies on specialized, pinpoint monitoring to detect leaks at an early stage and efficiently prevent damage.
Functionality and technical features
The compact design offers significant advantages: With a diameter of 45 mm and a height of 30 mm, the sensor can even be accommodated in tight spaces, where it continuously monitors possible liquid leaks. The flexible application range is supported by a connection cable of 6.5 meters, so that even remote corners or hard-to-reach areas can be easily accessed. Particularly in a professional environment, the sensor attaches great importance to durability and corrosion-resistant materials. Thanks to its stainless steel V2A 1.4301 construction, it is resistant to typical laboratory chemicals and moisture.
Whether in pharmaceutical companies, research institutes or clinical sterilization rooms - the additional sensor makes it possible to reliably monitor critical locations such as pipelines, sterilization-relevant chambers or water connection points. It can be quickly integrated into existing systems because it connects seamlessly with the control units for the Aquastop. This increases safety in sterilization processes, autoclaves with water cooling or other devices that are controlled via a water inlet.
Key features at a glance:
- Adjustable positioning thanks to 6.5 m connection cable
- Compact dimensions of 45 x 30 mm for effortless installation
- Weight of 380 g for solid handling
- Housing made of V2A 1.4301 for high resistance
- Compatible with Aquastop systems for precise leakage detection
- Easy cleaning and disinfection thanks to smooth surfaces
- Versatile use in industry, research and clinics
The combination of stability, chemical resistance and fast responsiveness makes this water sensor an indispensable addition to Aquastop solutions in typical laboratory or clinical sterilization environments. Users who place high demands on hygiene and safety will find a low-maintenance, reliable tool here.
Certifications and standards
Since strict regulations apply in sensitive areas - such as sterile processing - appropriate certification or compliance with recognized standards is relevant for water monitoring systems. Manufacture from 1.4301 stainless steel already indicates quality and durability, which often also entails CE marking. Where advisable, the sensor can be installed in systems with DIN-compliant standards. This ensures that full compliance is guaranteed when interacting with other devices.
Application examples
- Monitoring water connection points: Especially in laboratories with several rinsing and disinfection stations, water must be drained in a controlled manner. The sensor increases protection against unnoticed leaks.
- Use in clinical autoclaves: By discharging superheated steam and condensed water, this additional sensor can be used to secure potential risk points.
- Process safety in pharmaceutical test benches: In research and development, especially when water is required for cooling or cleaning processes, it helps to detect unwanted water leaks at an early stage.
- Additional monitoring in chemical laboratories: For reporting contact with aggressive substances that could potentially leak and cause significant damage.
FAQs
How is the installation carried out
?
The additional sensor is placed in the immediate vicinity of the area to be monitored and connected to the Aquastop control system. It can be positioned flexibly thanks to the 6.5 m connection cable.
Does the device require an additional power supply?
As a rule, the power is supplied directly via the existing Aquastop unit, so no separate power supply unit is required.
Is regular cleaning necessary?
Yes, depending on the area of application, it is recommended to clean the sensor at defined intervals. The smooth stainless steel housing enables rapid disinfection and removes any residues of chemicals or water deposits.
Can I use several sensors in one system?
Yes, several sensors can be operated in parallel so that different areas can be monitored at the same time.
Conclusion
The additional sensor is an extremely worthwhile extension for the professional laboratory and hospital sector, as it offers additional protection against water leaks and consequential damage thanks to its precise monitoring. Thanks to high-quality, chemically resistant stainless steel and convenient installation, consistent reliability is guaranteed in day-to-day work. This means that demanding sterilization and process sequences can be made even safer without impairing the workflow.
