GLE-RS-040 Press-Fit Firecracker Reed Sensor

Product Introduction

A reed switch is a small device that can be used to detect the presence of water. It consists of a thin wire that is wrapped around a magnet. When the magnet is brought near the wire, the current in the wire changes and this can be detected by an electronic circuit.

The Bucket Waterproof Reed Switch Sensor is a simple and low-cost way to detect water leaks in your home or office. The sensor can be placed inside a bucket or container, and will detect when water has been leaked into the bucket. The sensor can also be used to monitor the level of water in a tank or reservoir.

The sensor is easy to use and requires no external power source. It is powered by a 3V coin cell battery (included) which will last for up to 2 years with normal usage. The sensor has two LED indicator lights – one for power (red) and one for water detection (green).

How it works:
The reed switch is activated when there is water present in the bucket or container. The green LED will light up to indicate that water has been detected. The red LED indicates that the battery is still working and has power. If the green LED does not come on, then there may be something wrong with the battery connection or there may not be enough water in the bucket/container for the sensor to detect.

Product Advantage

Waterproof and submersible, the bucket sensor can be placed inside a water tank or reservoir to monitor the water level. With no moving parts, there are no mechanical parts to wear out or break, making it an extremely reliable float switch alternative.

Product Uses

This bucket waterproof reed switch sensor is perfect for a variety of applications, including:

-Monitoring water levels in rain barrels, cisterns, or other tanks

-Detecting leaks in pipes or containers

-Automatically activating pumps or valves based on water level

-Creating alarms or alerts when water levels reach certain thresholds

FAQ

This sensor is a reed switch that is hermetically sealed in a glass tube. The switch is actuated by a permanent magnet. When the magnet is brought near the sensor, the switch closes and an electrical circuit is completed. This sensor can be used to detect the presence of water in a container, such as a bucket.

FAQ

1. What is a reed switch?

A reed switch is a type of electrical switch that uses an electromagnet to operate. It consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a ferromagnetic metal reed that is hermetically sealed inside a glass or plastic envelope. When an external magnetic field is applied, the reed moves and either makes or breaks an electrical connection.

2. How does this sensor work?

The sensor contains a reed switch that is actuated by a permanent magnet. When the magnet is brought near the sensor, the switch closes and an electrical circuit is completed. This allows for detection of water in a container, such as a bucket.

3. What are some applications for this sensor?

This sensor can be used for detecting leaks in appliances, monitoring water levels in tanks or reservoirs, or detecting the presence of water in other containers.
