WHAT IS THE WET SWITCH?
he Wet Switch is a solid state device
designed to detect the presence of
condensate water overflow. The Wet Switch
is placed into the secondary drain pan — a
normally dry pan. If the primary drain pan
fails, condensate water will overflow into the
secondary drain pan. Upon sensing moisture,
the Wet Switch will turn the system off (typi-
cally the cause of the water) to help prevent
damage to carpets, walls, woodwork, ceilings,
and other property.

• Integral Feet
• Stainless Steel Sensor Array
• Solid State Electronics
• Epoxy Encapsulated Electronics
• Double Throw Relay
• Standard 24VAC control
• Multiple Unit Connectivity
The Wet Switch is designed
to interrupt the operation of
cooling systems. However,
it is a water activated switch
and can be used in a variety of
other applications.

SENSORS
HYDROPHILIC PAD
A high tech polymeric fiber quickly draws water into the sensor array
using proven capillary technology.
INTEGRAL FEET
Integral feet raise the hydrophilic pad and sensor array off the drain
pan slightly to prevent nuisance tripping and
pan corrosion (metal pans only) from
interfering with the sensor array.
STAINLESS
STEEL SENSOR
ARRAY
A high tech array
of multiple stain-
less steel sensors
detects even a
minimal amount of
water drawn into
the hydrophilic pad.
COMPACT
PACKAGE
This technology is
packed
into a 3-5/8”
diameter
by 1-1/4” high
cylinder.
Furnished complete
with 5-conductor 22AWG
stranded cable, 6’ long.
DOUBLE THROW RELAY
Allows for wiring to interrupt system and to sound an alarm (by others)
when moisture is detected.
SOLID STATE ELECTRONICS
Proven electronics prevent mechanical failure in an aggressive operating
environment.
MULTIPLE UNIT CONNECTIVITY
Multiple unit connectivity allows for multiple Wet Switches to be con-
nected in series to adequately cover large drain pan areas.
