Why install flood detectors?

Water leaks are one of the most common threats in homes — they can lead to serious damage to property, mold, and expensive repairs. Flood sensors allow you to detect the presence of water where it should not be, and release the alarm in the system, protecting your home from the effects of flooding.

Types of flood detector offered at MikaShop

• Wireless flood detectors: They communicate radio with the control panel – ideal for existing installations. Example: AFD-200 satellite. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Wire flood probes: Sensors with probe on the wire, which can be mounted on the floor or in sensitive places. Example: Satellite FD-1. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Sensors with voltage control and sabotage: Models detecting short circuit or cable interruption, tamper-proof. Example: Risco RWT6FW86800A. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Flooding sensors + temperature: Sensors combining water detection with temperature measurement – useful in boiler rooms or technical spaces. Example: Fibaro FGFS‐101. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Wi-Fi / ZigBee detectors: They integrate with smart home systems and alarms, offering remote notifications. Example: Model 433 MHz or ZigBee. {index=4}

What should I pay attention to when choosing the flood detector?

• Compatibility with the control panel: Check if the detector works with your alarm system (wired, radio, ZigBee, Wi-Fi).
• Type of probe / detection: Whether the detector has a wired probe, a conducting contact, or a contactless contact.
• Power supply: Radio models usually work on batteries, wire models often require 12 V power. Example: SatelliteFD-1 works on 12 V. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Construction and location of assembly: The flood detector shall be installed at the lowest possible point of the floor or at devices that may leak.
• Sabotage and diagnostics: Well, if the detector has sabotage protection and the possibility of self testing.

Most common questions (FAQ)

Can the flood detector be connected to the emergency unit?

Yes — many models have relay outputs (an emergency contact) that allow integration with the SSWiN control panel or other alarm system.

Where's the best place to install a flood detector?

Ideally on the floor, at the lowest points of the room or at devices that may leak (washing machine, dishwasher, boiler). The wired sensor may have a probe mounted in the appropriate position. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

How long does the battery detector work?

It depends on the model. For example, the AFD-100 satellite has a CR123A battery running for about 3 years. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}

Can I test the flood detector?

Yes — many detectors have a test function using a test button or by simulation of water on the probe. Regular tests help to make sure the sensor works properly.

Summary

The category “Emergency detectors” in MikaShop is a key element of flood protection in the alarm system. We offer a wide range of detectors – from radio flood detectors, conducting probes, to Wi-Fi and ZigBee modules. Thanks to them, you can detect water leaks early and prevent expensive damage to property. Select the right sensor, adjust it to your system and increase the security of your home or office.
