Water Flood Sensor Module SATEL FPX-1-DG for AXD-200 universal detector — FPX-1-DG

SATEL FPX-1-DG is a water flood sensor module designed to operate with the AXD-200 universal detector. It detects the presence of water to trigger early leak and flood alerts and integrates with compatible alarm and monitoring systems. The module is intended for installation in locations where liquid sensing is required, such as basements, utility rooms and boiler rooms, and supports remote alarm reporting when connected to the AXD-200 detector.

Advantages

The FPX-1-DG module provides reliable contact-based water detection with a compact form factor that simplifies installation alongside the AXD-200 detector. Its design enables quick integration into existing security and alarm setups, allowing prompt notification of water ingress. The unit is suitable for concealed placement in areas prone to leakage while maintaining consistent sensing performance and minimal maintenance requirements.

Suitable for

• Basements and cellars where flooding risk exists
• Utility rooms and laundry areas with water appliances
• Boiler rooms and mechanical spaces with piping and condensate risks
• Server rooms and equipment cabinets requiring floor-level liquid detection
• Integration with building alarm systems for automated leak response

Key specifications

• Type: water flood sensor module for use with a compatible universal detector
• Detection method: contact-based liquid presence sensing
• Integration: designed to connect to a universal detector interface for alarm reporting
• Installation: compact module suitable for floor or low-position mounting near expected leak points
• Operating environment: indoor locations such as basements, utility rooms, boiler rooms and technical spaces

How to use

Mount the FPX-1-DG module near the area to be monitored, preferably at floor level or at the lowest point where water would accumulate. Connect the module to the AXD-200 universal detector following the detector manufacturer’s wiring and configuration instructions to ensure correct alarm signalling. After installation, verify proper operation by simulating a small amount of water across the sensing contacts and confirm that the AXD-200 receives and reports the alarm. Follow the AXD-200 setup steps to assign zones and notification parameters.

Usage recommendations

Place the sensor in locations with the highest likelihood of water accumulation and avoid installing in areas subject to regular spraying or splashing that could cause false alarms. Periodically inspect the sensing contacts for corrosion or debris and test the connected detector’s alarm response according to the site maintenance schedule. For reliable system operation, use this module only with compatible universal detectors and adhere to the detector’s electrical and environmental specifications.
