james.wilson Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 You could use a PowerMac one. Standalone reciever and wire it in to a zone input at the powermaster Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Avago19 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Panel only been installed 2 yrs I'm told. client has big system with the remote lcd keypads etc only available on the powermaster. Don't think its viable to tell them to spend money ripping panel out just for a flood detector addition as spent £3k putting it al in!!!! Can you send me a link to the Powermac One you are referring me to ? Can't locate! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-Security Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) That float detector will need a certain amount of water before it sits up and triggers which could be 10 -20 cm deep you need something thats detects water by resistance http://www.jablotron.com/en/product-catalogue-1/alarms/wired-devices/detectors/environmental/ld-12.aspx or posh one http://www.fibaro.com/uk/the-fibaro-system/flood-sensor Edited February 13, 2015 by Nova-Security Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

Avago19 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi Nova, thanks for your advice. I've looked into this but these require power to which I don't have in this location. (see orig posting) Float moving up shaft to trigger event I think will be acceptable for this situation. Interested to see what a powermax one receiver is ?

datadiffusion Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think he said there was no local power (seems odd that it coiuldn't be arranged for a basement) so the above looks like the best bet.

Nova-Security Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 In the meantime I am thinking I can use the aux input on the door contact module and hard wire a flood sensor to that... Soz, re read your post, your hardwiring back to a wireless contact, cant see why the float switch wouldn't work then as long as it gets enough water to tip it over and float. 1 Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.
