Aqua-Scanner SHT 5020

Aqua-Scanner SHT 5020 – The sensor cable that detects water everywhere

One drop is enough – and the entire 2-meter Aqua-Scanner SHT 5020 triggers an alarm. No need to locate the lowest point, no single-point sensor that might miss a leak: this cable detects water at any point along its entire length.

Whether under kitchen units, behind bathroom cabinets, around aquariums, or beneath raised floors in data centers – simply lay it out, and the entire area is monitored.

The sensor cable is a small technological marvel: two sensing wires embedded in a high-strength fluoropolymer carrier rod, metal-free, abrasion-resistant (>65 cycles UL 719), corrosion-proof, and robust enough to be wiped clean. After contact with water, it dries within about 15 seconds and is immediately ready for operation again.

Up to 1500 meters total length possible (maximum 50 m control cable + sensor cable per scanner). Perfect for SHT 5000 and SHT 5001 – the new standard for those who demand truly comprehensive coverage.

The SHT 5020 is the favorite of electrical planners, data center operators, aquarium owners, and kitchen designers. No other sensor offers such a large monitored area with such simple installation. Once laid, it’s virtually invisible – yet silently and tirelessly guards your most valuable spaces.
