Wireless flood detector SATEL AFD-200 ABAX2 battery powered, wireless water sensor

The Wireless flood detector SATEL AFD-200 ABAX2 is a battery-powered water sensor that detects leaks and flooding and transmits alerts via the ABAX2 wireless protocol to a connected alarm system. Designed for installation in locations prone to water ingress—such as basements, utility rooms, kitchens and commercial premises—this compact detector provides early notification when water contact is detected, enabling quick response to minimise damage and downtime.

Advantages

The device operates on battery power and supports the ABAX2 wireless communication standard, enabling easy integration into compatible security systems without the need for cabling. Its compact enclosure allows placement in confined spaces and near vulnerable equipment. Immediate wireless transmission on water contact ensures rapid alerting through the alarm control panel or monitoring service. The detector’s design focuses on reliable contact sensing and low maintenance demands, with battery operation that supports flexible mounting and remote placement.

Suitable for

• Basements and cellars where leaks or rising groundwater may occur
• Utility rooms with boilers, heat pumps or water heaters
• Kitchens and dishwasher/washing machine areas
• Commercial premises with server rooms, storage areas or HVAC equipment
• Remote or hard-to-access locations where wired sensors are impractical

Key specifications

• Power supply: battery-powered for flexible placement
• Communication: ABAX2 wireless protocol for alarm system integration
• Type: water contact sensor for flood and leak detection
• Operating environment: suitable for indoor use in areas prone to moisture or leaks
• Installation: compact form factor for placement on floors or near appliances

How to use

Position the detector on a flat surface in the area most likely to be affected by a leak—near floor drains, under appliances, next to water-using equipment or along suspected ingress points. Follow the alarm system manufacturer’s procedure to enrol the detector into the ABAX2-compatible control panel, then test the device by creating a small, controlled water contact to confirm detection and signal transmission. Replace batteries according to the system’s low-battery indications and perform periodic tests to verify continued operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable protection, install the detector at the lowest points where water would accumulate and combine it with your security panel’s notification settings to ensure timely alerts. Avoid placing the sensor where regular splashing or condensation could cause false alarms; if needed, consult the control panel documentation for sensitivity and supervision options.
