NetBotz® Spot Fluid Sensor (NBES0301)
Installation Instructions
The NetBotz Spot Fluid Sensor enables you to monitor a remote location for the presence of any
liquid with a resistivity of less than 2 MOhms per cm (including distilled water).
Plastic insulation sheet
Spot Fluid Sensor
203-mm (8-in) tie wraps (10)
Note: You can extend the length of the cable up to 30.5 m (100 ft) using the RJ-45
coupling and standard CAT-5 cabling.
Installation
1. Place the fluid-sensing portion of the NetBotz Spot Fluid Sensor at the location th at you want
to monitor. The four fluid sensor contacts should be in direct contact with the surface
Plug the cable into an available Sensor Port on your NetBotz appliance
2.
Adhesive cable tie holders (5)
RJ-45 coupling (1)
.
Using the Insulator Sheet on a Conductive
Surface
The NetBotz Spot Fluid Sensor uses electronic
circuits to detect the presence of fluid. If the sensor
contacts are shorted, the fluid detection circuits
will not work. Shorting can occur when the sensor
is placed on a metal surface, or on some materials,
such as cement flooring (particularly cement that is
wet), that may be conductive and grounded.
Place the Spot Fluid Sensor on the provided insulator sheet to avoid shorting the contacts.
Configuring the Spot Fluid Sensor
Once the Spot Fluid Sensor is conected to the NetBotz Appliance, it will be detected automatically,
and will appear in the Sensor Readings pane.
The Spot Fluid Sensor is a normally open (NO) dry contact sensor. Use the Dry Contact task to
configure the settings for the NetBotz Spot Fluid Sensor. See the NetBotz Appliance
for more information about the Advanced View.
User’s Guide
Caring For and Cleaning Your Sensor
While your Spot Fluid Sensor is fluid-resistant, it is intended for leak detection only and is not
designed to be immersed for extended periods of time. Use only plain tap water to clean your Spot
Fluid Sensor. Do not use soap or detergents of any kind. In addition, the RJ-45 coupling should not
be an area where water will collect or condensation may form, as this may corrode the coupling.
