Liquid leaking from pipes.

Description

The drain pipe leakage detector is designed to detect liquid leaks from drain pipes and pipe joints.
DITECH’s proprietary impedance system and NQS/NSS model ensures stable detection by reducing stray capacitances to zero. One to 15 detector units can be connected in parallel to input signals to a transducer.

Measurement
principles

When the meshed probe of the detector becomes wet due to a leak, a substantial decrease in impedance occurs. The meshed probe forms one side of the low-frequency impedance bridge. Liquid leaks cause the bridge to become out of balance. This signal is amplified and used to actuate the relay.

Configuration

Model NQS-LE
(Non-explosion-proof type)
<Separated transducer type>

This model is composed of detector unit, transducer and special cable.

Configuration

Model NSS-LE
(Intrinsically safe construction / i3nG5)
<Totally separated transducer type>

This model is composed of detector unit, transducer, relay power source and special cable that is 3 core control cable. As the transducer is designed to be installed in a dangerous area, the special cable can be made short enough to minimize picked-up noises, thus permitting a stable performance to be obtainable. As to performance, this model has the same characteristics as those of Model NQS-LE.
