SHT 240 Water Detector, 230V Plug-in Device

SHT 240 Water Detector – Plug in, Water Detected Immediately

A small crack in the hose and the basement is already flooded. The SHT 240 from Elektrotechnik Schabus stops the disaster before it becomes expensive: Plug it into the socket, place the fork sensor near the floor, ready to operate immediately.

As soon as water bridges the two contacts, the device loudly alarms (about 85 dB) and the red LED flashes. When the floor dries again, everything automatically silentens, and no button press is necessary. Powered by mains (230 V), no empty batteries, no maintenance required. 2.8 m robust LIYY cable (extendable up to 50 m). The simplest, most reliable water protection for those who want to avoid surprises.

The technology is ingeniously simple and bomb-proof: The open fork sensor reacts immediately to even the smallest amounts of water, and the LIYY cable is flame-retardant, self-extinguishing, and water-resistant for a short time.

The alarm comes directly from the socket device and is loud enough to be heard next door. After drying, everything switches back to green automatically. No annoying resets, no false alarms due to condensation moisture (sensor lies flat on the ground). Extensions up to 50 m are possible, making it perfect for large cellar rooms or remote heating niches.

The SHT 240 is more than a detector; it is your affordable insurance agent. Washing machines, dishwashers, heating, aquariums, server rooms, or the classic basement: everywhere water should be—but not on the floor. Landlords, homeowners, and tenants love the seconds-to-install feature and the loud, clear message.
