- Paradox WD1-K9A Wireless Water/Flood Detector (433MHz) Paradox WD1-K9A Wireless Water/Flood Detector (433MHz)
- Description
The Paradox WD1-K9A is an advanced wireless water and flood detector designed to provide early warning against liquid leaks, burst pipes, and water damage in residential and commercial premises. Operating at a reliable 433 MHz frequency, this sensor features dual water-sensing probes located at the bottom of its main body, along with an optional extension probe wire for hard-to-reach areas like sump pumps, water heaters, and under appliances.
When liquid is detected, the WD1-K9A triggers an immediate local piezo alarm and transmits a wireless alert signal to compatible Paradox Magellan MG series panels or Spectra SP / EVO control panels via wireless expansion modules (RTX3 / RX1). Engineered with an IP67 waterproof housing, it floats on water to prevent total submersion damage while continuing to transmit emergency alarm signals. Continuous RF supervision, battery health checks, and dual-tamper detection ensure maximum reliability for proactive water leak mitigation.
Key System Features & Functionality
-
Dual Water Detection Probes: Built-in bottom contacts sense liquid accumulation immediately upon contact with wet surfaces.
-
External Extension Probe Included: Comes with an extension probe cable to monitor tight or submerged spaces such as drain basins and HVAC drip pans.
-
Floating IP67 Waterproof Design: Hermetically sealed IP67 casing allows the main unit to float on water during major floods while maintaining signal transmission.
-
Integrated Piezo Sounder: Onboard 85 dB audible buzzer provides immediate localized warning during liquid detection events.
-
433 MHz RF Transmission: Strong long-range wireless signaling compatible with Paradox Magellan consoles and RTX3 receivers.
-
Comprehensive Supervision & Tamper Alert: Periodically checks in with the panel and sends immediate alerts upon cover removal or main unit displacement.
