NTI IP68 Water Sensor with Visual Alarm

A single drop of water can cause devastating damage in sensitive environments such as server rooms or production facilities – the IP68-certified Water Sensor from NTI prevents exactly that.

This state-of-the-art waterproof point leak sensor is specially designed to detect conductive liquids in confined and demanding areas. With an IP68 certification (NEMA 6P), it is fully submersible and remains functional even underwater, making it ideal for humid or high-risk environments.

Its compact size of 51 x 105 x 30 mm allows discreet installation under equipment such as air conditioners, washing machines, or compressors. Once a liquid level between 0.79 and 13 mm is detected, a red LED provides a visual alarm signal while a green LED indicates operational status. The DPDT alarm contacts ensure seamless integration with monitoring systems such as the NTI ENVIROMUX series (1W, MICRO-TRH, MINI-LXO) or the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 Remote Power Reboot Switch.

With a 1.5 m cable and an adjustable mounting angle that can be fixed with adhesive tape or screws, installation is simple. The sensor consumes only 30 mA during normal operation and a maximum of 85 mA in alarm mode, making it energy-efficient and ideal for 12VDC systems.

The true strength of the NTI IP68 Water Sensor lies in its durability and versatility. Whether in a server room where condensation from air conditioners poses a threat or in an industrial facility with chemicals – this detector reliably protects your infrastructure. Imagine a data center where water drips from a cooling system: the sensor immediately detects the liquid, the red LED lights up, and the DPDT contacts send a signal to the ENVIROMUX system, initiating an automatic shutdown before expensive servers are damaged. In a household, installed under a dishwasher, it prevents water damage by issuing an early warning, avoiding costly repairs or mold formation. Its IP68 protection level makes it unique: even if submerged in a puddle, it continues to function perfectly, setting it apart from conventional sensors.

Compatibility with the E-DI2-1W Digital Input Expander and the included 12V/1A power supply ensures easy integration into existing systems. CE and RoHS certifications guarantee high safety and environmental standards, while its operating temperature range of 0 to 50°C ensures performance in various climates.

Why is the NTI IP68 Water Sensor the perfect choice? Because it raises prevention to a new level and gives you peace of mind. Water damage causes billions in losses worldwide, but this sensor pays for itself by eliminating risks early. Example: in a brewery where pipes constantly transport liquids, the sensor is placed beneath the tanks. When a leak occurs, the red LED lights up, and the monitoring system stops the process before any production loss occurs. In a hotel, installed beneath a boiler, it prevents flooding that could damage guest satisfaction and building integrity. Its compact design and flexible mounting angle make it unobtrusive – but its performance is uncompromising.

When combined with NTI systems such as ENVIROMUX-MINI-LXO, it forms a comprehensive monitoring network that oversees leaks, temperature, and other parameters in real time. The simple plug-and-play installation – just mount on a flat surface, connect, and activate – saves time and costs, while the cable’s extendable reach up to 305 meters makes it scalable for large facilities.

• Waterproof and submersible: IP68 (NEMA 6P) certification guarantees operation even when fully submerged, perfect for humid environments.
• Accurate detection: Detects conductive liquids from 0.79 mm, with DPDT contacts for reliable integration into alarm systems.
• Compact design: With 51 x 105 x 30 mm, ideal for tight spaces under HVAC equipment or control cabinets.
• Energy-efficient: Consumes only 30 mA during normal operation, 85 mA in alarm mode, compatible with 12VDC systems.
• Easy installation: Adjustable mounting bracket with adhesive or screws, 1.5 m cable for flexible setup.

Applications and Practical Examples

The NTI IP68 Water Sensor is an indispensable tool in environments where liquid leaks could have catastrophic consequences. It protects equipment, saves costs, and enhances safety. Here are some practical examples:

• Data centers and IT infrastructure: Used under air conditioners or in cabinets to detect condensation. Example: in a data center, the red LED lights up upon detecting a leak, the DPDT contacts cut power, and expensive servers remain safe.
• Household and kitchen appliances: Under washing machines or dishwashers in homes or hotels. Scenario: in a private residence, the sensor prevents flooding by issuing an early warning, avoiding floor or mold damage.
• Industry and manufacturing: Under tanks or pipelines in factories. Example: in a chemical plant, the sensor detects a leak, triggers a warning, and prevents contamination or production downtime.
• Facility management: In heating or ventilation systems of office buildings. Example: in a shopping mall, the sensor detects a leak in the HVAC system, preventing structural damage and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
• Laboratories and medical facilities: In research institutions to monitor chemical leaks. Example: in a biotechnology lab, the sensor detects a spill, sends an immediate warning, and protects personnel and samples.

These examples demonstrate how the sensor acts proactively and minimizes risk. Its compatibility with ENVIROMUX systems (1W, MICRO-TRH, MINI-LXO) and the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 switch makes it ideal for integrated monitoring solutions. Installation is simple – place on a flat surface, attach with adhesive or screws, and connect. The included power adapter makes it accessible for both professionals and DIY users.
