8.1. Leakage sensor (KLS03)
The leakage sensor KLS03 is shipped with a 10m patch cable for a direct connection to Kentix devices via the
Kentix system jack. It is also powered by the system jack.
An LED indicates the current state of the sensor (GREEN: no alarm / no humidity; RED: alarm / humidity
detected). To test the sensor touch it's bottom of the sensor with a wet cloth. The internal LED should signal the
detection by glowing RED.
The detection unit is maintenance-free when detecting normal water. Aggressive or solvent-containing liquids
can damage the sensor and cause false alarms. A contamination of the sensor electrodes also leads to
incorrect measurements.

IMPORTANT!
The signaling for a connected leakage-sensor is realized via the external alarm input of the device to which the
leakage-sensor is connected (AlarmManager or MultiSensor). For the correct functioning, this input has to be
configured correctly (see examples).
Therefor its necessary to test the alert triggering after connection to ensure the correct cabling.
Connection example 1: Leakage-Sensor connected to AlarmManager
Plug the connection cable of the leakage-sensor into one of the System-jacks of the AlarmManager.
The powering and alarming is done directly via the AlarmManager. With the ControlCenter enter a suitable
name for the external alarm input and set the alarming of the input to „Always-Active" for a permanent alarming.
If the leakage sensor is working with opening the contact on an alarm, additionally change the alarm logic to
„Open".
