Description
AQUALARM Bilge High-Water Level Detector, 12/24/32V – 20120 is a dedicated high-water alarm detector for bilges and other monitored compartments. The two-lead, non-polarity switch is normally open and closes when rising water reaches the detector, allowing it to activate a compatible visual or audible alarm.
Key Features
- Monitors rising bilge water independently of the bilge pump control circuit
- Normally open contacts close on high water
- Two-wire, non-polarity connection simplifies installation
- Rugged ABS/Lexan construction resists oil, dirt, grease, and typical bilge contamination
- Supplied with approximately 3 ft / 0.9 m of marine-grade tinned wire leads

Installation & Compatibility

Application Notes
The detector is designed to tolerate dirty and oily bilge conditions and uses an anti-splash style arrangement to reduce nuisance alarms from normal bilge movement.
