SHP Steriltechnik Aquastop with one sensor
The SHP Steriltechnik Aquastop with one sensor offers laboratories and industrial users a reliable way of detecting water leaks at up to five different points at an early stage and stopping them immediately thanks to integrated solenoid valves. Compared to systems such as the [SHP Steriltechnik Minimelder], this offers significantly greater flexibility and scalability. Thanks to the robust stainless steel sensor head and simple installation, the device shows its strengths particularly in environments where highly sensitive processes need to be monitored.
Detailed description
The device can be configured via USB and enables the individual assignment of up to five sensor inputs to two outputs. Each input can control one or both outputs, allowing the controller to be adapted to specific requirements. An integrated acoustic and optical display provides visualization and warning messages. Thanks to the galvanically isolated relay outputs and the high switching capacity of up to 230 V / 6 A, other components can be operated safely in addition to solenoid valves.
Similar to the [SHP Steriltechnik Aquastop 2 sensor kit], the V2A sensors of this model can be easily positioned on the floor due to their own weight, without the need for additional fastening elements. The system is supplied with a sensor, a plug-in power supply unit and a high-quality sensor cable, which can be exchanged for longer or other variants if required.
Important data at a glance:
- Supply voltage: 100-240 V AC / 12 V DC
- Power consumption: 2 W
- Dimensions (W × H × D): 205 × 110 × 55 mm
- Weight (incl. sensor and power supply unit): 822 g
- Inputs: 5 sockets for sensors
- Outputs: 2 relay changers with 230 V / 6 A
- USB interface for configuration
In addition, the device impresses with its very low power consumption and robust design, which makes it ideal for long-term use in demanding areas. The prefabricated sensor cables have excellent resistance and can therefore also be used in damp or slightly chemically contaminated environments. For more extensive applications, additional sensors can be added so that a large number of work areas or devices can be protected simultaneously.
Certifications and standards
The Aquastop has a high-quality finish, which is reflected in its reliable protective function. The outputs are galvanically isolated so that common industry standards for electrical safety are met. Thanks to its robust housing and equally durable accessories, the system is well suited to laboratory and production environments where water or slightly aggressive media are frequently used. The product is CE-compliant in many cases.
Application examples
- Laboratories with different water supply and autoclave systems
- Ultrasonic cleaning systems in which water-based cleaning agents are used
- Production lines in the food industry that frequently rinse or clean with water
- Chemical areas where condensates or leaks need to be detected and stopped at an early stage
The sensors can be placed in particular where water leaks need to be detected immediately, for example below pumps, valves, tanks or hose connections

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How complicated is the installation of the device?
Installation is simple: the housing is placed, the plug-in power supply is connected and the first sensor is placed where a leak might be suspected. There is no need for time-consuming installation, as the sensors rest securely on their own weight.
Can additional sensors be connected?
Yes, up to five sensors are possible. Each sensor is connected to its own socket, and all of them can be configured individually.
How is the configuration carried out?
The configuration is carried out on the PC via a USB cable. Special software enables the assignment of inputs and outputs as well as the setting of acoustic and visual signals.
Which components can be switched via the relay outputs?
Thanks to a switching capacity of 230 V / 6 A, solenoid valves or pumps, for example, can be easily controlled. The galvanic isolation ensures additional operational safety.
In which areas are the sensors particularly useful?
They are suitable for all water-bearing systems, especially in laboratories, production lines or in food production, where monitoring the water flow is essential.
Conclusion
This compact and flexibly expandable monitoring system fits seamlessly into a wide range of application scenarios and prevents water damage at an early stage. Its robust design, low power consumption and convenient configuration via USB make it a reliable companion in laboratories, factories and production lines. The option of connecting several sensors and assigning the outputs individually also ensures a wide range of applications. This solution is an excellent choice, especially for users who require high precision and fast response times when detecting leaks.
