SHT 5000 12-24V Water Detector

SHT 5000 12–24V – The all-rounder among professional water detectors

When one zone isn’t enough: The SHT 5000 from Elektrotechnik Schabus monitors up to four completely separate zones simultaneously – with just one device.

12–24 V operation, potential-free 5 A relay, 9 V block battery for emergency power, optional plug-in relay card for four independent relays, and direct connection to the WWD 200 Smart Home adapter for push notifications to your phone. Whether basement + utility room + flat roof + yacht bilge or four different machine trays – the SHT 5000 keeps everything under control, even when the 230 V mains power fails.

The technology is thoroughly thought out: four independent inputs (max. 50 m LiYY 2×0.14 mm² per zone), multiple sensors/float switches can be connected in parallel, loud buzzer + clear LED per zone. Integrated relay for solenoid valve, siren, telephone dialer, or building automation.

With the optional plug-in card, each input becomes its own relay output. Perfect for 12/24 V on-board electrical systems in boats, motorhomes, agriculture, and industry. Made in Germany – the water detector trusted by professionals when reliability matters most.

The SHT 5000 is the Swiss Army knife of water detection technology. Electricians, boat owners, campers, farmers, and industrial users love it because it can handle everything: multiple rooms, long cable runs, power failure backup, and even Smart Home integration via WWD 200. Once installed, it operates maintenance-free for years and reports reliably – whether water, heating oil, or total mains failure.
