Hydrosense Conventional Water Detection Control Panel
Summary
The Hydrosense HS Conventional Panel delivers reliable water leak detection for small to medium-sized installations. This versatile control panel supports both linear detection using Hydrowire and point detection with Hydrosense Probes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from server rooms to plant rooms and commercial facilities.
Available in 2, 4, and 8 zone configurations, each panel includes two dedicated sounder circuits and comprehensive monitoring capabilities. The system ensures seamless operation through battery backup and continuous fault monitoring, with all alarm and fault conditions signalled both visually and audibly through the panel’s integrated display and internal buzzer.
Designed for ease of installation and maintenance, the Hydrosense HS features robust junction boxes with plug and play connectivity. An optional Ancillary PCB can be fitted to provide local plant control or Building Management System (BMS) integration via up to 8 zonal relay contacts, making it an ideal choice for professional water leak detection installations.

FAQ
What detection methods does the Hydrosense HS support?
The Hydrosense HS supports both linear detection using Hydrowire cable and point detection using Hydrosense leak detection probes, providing flexible installation options for different applications.
How many zones are available and what’s the coverage per zone?
The system is available in 2, 4, and 8 zone configurations. Each zone can support up to 50 metres of Hydrowire or up to 20 Hydrosense probes, making it suitable for small to medium-sized installations.
What backup power is provided?
The panel includes battery backup capability supporting up to 72 hours of standby operation with dual 12V 7Ah batteries, ensuring continuous protection even during mains power failures.
Can the system integrate with Building Management Systems?
Yes, an optional Ancillary PCB can be fitted to provide local plant control or BMS integration via up to 8 zonal relay contacts, allowing seamless integration with existing building automation systems.
What happens when water is detected?
Upon detection, the system triggers both visual and audible alarms through the panel display and internal buzzer. The dedicated sounder circuits can activate external sounders and beacons, while relay contacts can trigger automated responses such as valve closure.
Is the system suitable for harsh environments?
The panel features IP30 rating with robust 1.2mm mild steel construction and epoxy powder coating in RAL 7047 Light Grey finish, providing durability for industrial and commercial environments.
