Hoe installeer ik de Ajax LeaksProtect?

De LeaksProtect heeft geen montage nodig. Je plaatst de waterdetector eenvoudig op de vloer op de plek waar je als eerste water verwacht, bijvoorbeeld onder een wasmachine of onder de gootsteen. Koppelen aan de Ajax Hub doe je via de Ajax-app.

Waar plaats ik een watermelder het beste?

Plaats de detector op de vloer bij risicoplekken zoals een wasmachine, vaatwasser, onder de gootsteen, bij een boiler/cv-opstelling of nabij leidingen en koppelingen. Zorg dat de onderzijde van de detector direct water kan raken voor snelle detectie.

Gaat het alarm automatisch uit als het weer droog is?

Ja, zodra de contacten weer droog zijn, wordt de melding automatisch beëindigd. Je ontvangt vervolgens pas weer een nieuwe alarmmelding wanneer de detector opnieuw water detecteert.

Werkt de LeaksProtect ook als het alarmsysteem niet is ingeschakeld?

Ja, de waterdetectie is bedoeld voor continue bewaking. Een waterlek kan ook ontstaan wanneer je niet thuis bent, daarom blijft de detector actief ongeacht de ingeschakelde status van het alarmsysteem.

Hoe lang gaan de batterijen mee?

De LeaksProtect werkt op twee AAA-batterijen en kan bij normaal gebruik tot circa 5 jaar functioneren. Je krijgt via de app tijdig een melding wanneer vervanging nodig is.

Is de Ajax LeaksProtect geschikt voor buiten?

De detector heeft beschermingsklasse IP65, maar is bedoeld voor binnengebruik en wordt meestal op de vloer geplaatst bij waterleidingen of apparaten. Controleer altijd of het gebruik past bij jouw toepassing en omgeving.

Ajax Leaksprotect Black SMART

SKU	7182

The black Ajax LeaksProtect is a compact wireless water detector that triggers an alarm within seconds when water is detected. The sensor is designed to limit water damage by immediately alerting you to a leak or the incipient flooding, for example, under a washing machine, dishwasher, sink, bathtub, or in a utility room. The alert automatically stops once the surface is dry. This keeps the system organized, and you only receive a new alert if the contacts become wet again.

Operation and detection

The LeaksProtect detects water via multiple contact points on its underside. As soon as one of the contacts touches water, the detector sends a notification. Because the sensor is simply placed on the floor, no complex installation is required and you can place it even in tight or difficult-to-reach places. This makes the LeaksProtect suitable for everyday prevention in the home and for locations where a small leak can quickly cause major damage.

A practical advantage is that the detector automatically reports "recovery" when the area is dry again. This allows you to see at a glance whether the incident was brief or if the leak is recurring.

Always active monitoring

The Ajax LeaksProtect is designed for 24/7 monitoring. This is important in the event of a water leak, as a leak can occur even when you're not home or when the alarm system isn't armed. Combined with the Ajax Hub, you'll receive notifications via the Ajax app, allowing you to take immediate action or call someone to check.

Where do you place the water detector?

For best results, place LeaksProtect on the floor in areas where water is most likely to be visible. Think under or next to appliances and connections, or under a pipe run where drips can fall. Typical locations include under a washing machine, dishwasher, under the sink, near a boiler/central heating system, next to a bath or shower, or near a radiator/heating point where connections can leak.

Please note that the detector must be able to make free contact with water on the floor. Therefore, do not place it on a thick mat or in a container where water cannot come directly into contact with the contacts.

Wireless connection and maintenance

The LeaksProtect communicates wirelessly with the Ajax Hub via the secure Jeweller protocol. This ensures a stable and encrypted connection, and allows the detector's status to be monitored. It is powered by two AAA batteries, and the battery life is long under normal use. The app will notify you when a replacement is needed, ensuring continued water detection.
