3.3 Accessories

You can retrofit your product with additional accessories. Please

contact your local Grünbeck representative or Grünbeck’s

headquarters in Hoechstaedt for details.

Image Products Order no.

Power supply unit 126 802

The protectliQ can

optionally be operated with a power supply unit. Whenever possible, the power supply from the power supply unit is used. The service life of the batteries is thus considerably extended.

Water sensor with 2 m 126 805

Water sensor with 10 m cable

126 815

A second water sensor with a cable of up to 10 m in length can be connected. To do this, use the free screw-type terminals on the printed circuit board of the

protectliQ.

3.4 Functional description

The connected water sensor permanently monitors critical

locations in moist-prone rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms or

laundry rooms, etc. In case water collects on the floor, the water

sensor responds and the protectliQ automatically closes the water

supply.
