Leak protection system Aqua-Computer LEAKSHIELD Standalone (model 34138)

The Aqua-Computer LEAKSHIELD Standalone is a compact leak protection system designed to monitor liquid-cooling loops and react automatically to detected leaks. Intended for PC water-cooling and similar closed-loop systems, this standalone unit continuously checks for the presence of conductive fluid at sensor points, sounds an alarm when a leak is detected and provides the ability to stop pumps or cut power to protected components to minimize damage.

Advantages

The device offers continuous, automated leak detection without the need for a connected computer, enabling independent operation in confined or remote setups. It combines audible alarm signaling with control outputs to interrupt pump power or switch off critical devices, reducing the risk of hardware damage. The compact design and clearly labeled connections simplify installation and integration into existing cooling loops.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops in desktop systems
• Small server or workstation liquid-cooling installations
• Closed-loop cooling for test benches and demonstration rigs
• Embedded or remote systems where independent leak protection is required

Key specifications

• Standalone operation with independent leak detection logic
• Conductive fluid detection at multiple sensor points
• Audible alarm output for immediate notification
• Control outputs capable of interrupting pump or peripheral power
• Compact housing for installation inside or near chassis
• Clear, labeled connectors for sensor and output wiring

How to use

Install the LEAKSHIELD Standalone unit near the cooling loop and connect supplied or compatible leak sensors to the sensor inputs at locations where fluid would first collect in case of a leak. Connect the alarm output and control outputs to pumps or power switches you want the unit to manage. Power the unit from an appropriate supply following the manufacturer's wiring guidelines. During normal operation the unit continuously monitors sensors; when conductive fluid is detected it triggers the alarm and activates the configured control outputs to stop pumps or power to protected devices.

Usage recommendations

Place sensors at low points and joint locations in the loop, verify wiring and output behavior before leaving the system unattended, and test the alarm and shutdown sequence after installation to confirm proper function.
