Welcome to Pipl Systems, your trusted source for expert security solutions. In this article, we will delve into the world of water leak detection and valve shut-off, specifically focusing on the Ajax Solution. Our goal is to equip installers like you with the knowledge and tools necessary to safeguard homes and businesses against potential water damage. Join us as we explore the expertise of Carlo Della Serra, a leading industry expert, and Engineer of Technical Support at Inaxsys, who will share his valuable insights on this topic.
Water leaks can wreak havoc, causing extensive damage to properties and incurring substantial repair costs. By integrating the Ajax Solution, you can proactively detect leaks and automatically shut off the water supply, mitigating potential disasters. Let’s dive in and discover the necessary components and the step-by-step process for implementing this innovative system.
Components Required
To successfully deploy the Ajax Solution for water leak detection and valve shut-off, you will need the following components:
- Ajax Hub: Acting as the central control unit, the Ajax Hub ensures seamless communication within the system. It comes equipped with a SIM card, facilitating uninterrupted connectivity.
- Ajax Siren: A compact siren plays a pivotal role in alerting you to any alarms triggered by the water leak detection system, ensuring swift action can be taken.
- Ajax Keypad (optional): In a business setting, adding a keypad can simplify system disarmament in the event of water leakage, enhancing convenience and efficiency.
- Ajax Leak Detectors: Install Ajax leak detectors strategically throughout water-sensitive areas, such as washrooms, water rooms, server rooms, and laundry rooms. These sensors activate when they detect a predetermined level of water, promptly alerting you to potential leaks.
- Power Supply: Connect the Ajax Hub to a reliable power supply. In this case, we recommend using the DX600ULPD16ECB power supply unit, which provides stable DC voltage.
- Ajax Relay: Employ the Ajax dual-pole Relay, such as the AXR-624, to exert control over the water valve. One pole opens the valve, while the other closes it. This relay operates on separate 12-volt signals, ensuring precise functionality.
- Water Valve: Install a compatible water valve at the point of water entry, allowing the relay to regulate its operation effectively.
Installation Process
Let’s explore the step-by-step process for setting up and configuring the Ajax Solution for water leak detection and valve shut-off:
- Ajax Hub Setup: Begin by carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions to set up the Ajax Hub. Ensure proper power and internet connectivity for seamless system operation.
- Strategic Leak Detector Placement: Install Ajax Leak detectors strategically in areas prone to water leaks, guaranteeing comprehensive coverage. These detectors act as your eyes and ears, vigilantly monitoring for any potential leaks.
- Relay Connection: Connect the Ajax Relay to the power supply unit (DX600ULPD16ECB) and the Ajax Hub. This relay assumes control over the water valve, facilitating automated shut-off.
- Water Valve Integration: Install a compatible water valve at the water entry point, allowing the relay to regulate its operation effectively. Connect the valve to the dual-pole relay, ensuring separate 12-volt signals for opening and closing the valve.
- System Testing: To validate the system’s functionality, open the water supply and introduce water to simulate a leak. Place one of the Ajax water sensors in the water and observe as it triggers an alarm on connected devices, including your mobile phone. Witness the valve automatically shutting off, preventing further leakage and potential damage.
- Disarming the System: When it comes time to restore the water supply, you can disarm the Ajax system conveniently using the keypad or the hub’s interface. This action instructs the system to reopen the water valve, resuming normal operation.
