Water Leak Alarm/Detector
61F-WLA/-GPN-V50
CSM_61F-WLA_61F-GPN-V50_DS_E_5_4
Flexible Setup according to Water Quality
and Surrounding Wiring Conditions
• The operating resistance has a variable sensitivity from 0 to
50 kΩ, so the best set values can be made according to the
predicted water leakage, degree of overflow, water quality, or
surrounding wiring conditions.
• The power supplied to the Sensing Band is 24 VAC, so opera-
tion is stable because there is no electrode deterioration from
electrical corrosion.
• A contact signal output enables monitoring from remote loca-
tions.
Refer to
Safety Precautions for Floatless Level
Controllers.
[Reference]
For detecting leakage of water with high resistivity, use K7L-U/-UD ultra
high-sensitivity models.
Note:
Manufacturing of the 61F-WLA was discontinued at the
end of September 2016.

Operating Principle
When the two conductive cores of the Sensing Band are contacted
by a liquid, a weak alternating current (as small as 3 mA max.) flows
across the cores. This current is amplified to operate a relay.
In practice, leakage will be detected if water drops are present
between the core wire and the Electrode (F03-15 Sensing Band) or
detecting section (F03-16PE Sensing Band). (Refer to the specifica-
tions on page 4)

Safety Precautions
!WARNING
Do not touch the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may possibly result in electric shock. Make sure
that the terminal cover is installed before using the
product.
!CAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the
product. Doing so may occasionally result in minor or
moderate injury due to electric shock.

Precautions for Safe Use
(1)
Use only F03-15 or F03-16 Sensing Band. Other water conduc-
tors may cause the Water Leak Alarm/Detector to malfunction,
or not operate at all because of mismatched sensitivity.
Place the Sensing Band at a location where water leakage is
most likely to occur. For example, consider the following loca-
tions:
(2)
•
•
•
•
Under a raised floor; on the highest floor of a building; on the ceiling
In the vicinity of an air conditioner, or on the floor near a humidifier
On the floor near a feed-water pipe, conduit; hot-water pipe.
On top of a power, or control panel
(3) Secure the Sensing Band so that they touch the floor surface or
the wall near a pipe arrangement. Cover the Sensing Band with a
F03-25 or F03-26 Protective Cover if they are installed at a loca-
tion crowed with people. However, place the cover such a manner
that water can easily reach the Sensing Band.
(4) Keep the temperature at the installation site to within 55°C. Do
not install the Water Leak Alarm/Detector/Sensing Band in the
proximity of heat-generating equipment (such as that having a
coil or wire winding). Also, do not use it in a highly humid loca-
tion, or at a location that is subjected to corrosive gases. Do not
place the Water Leak Alarm/Detector side-by-side with a high-
capacity contactor that produces an inrush current when it oper-
ates, as such arrangement may cause chattering to occur, con-
sequently causing a malfunction of the Water Leak Alarm/
Detector.
(5) Wiring distance of the Sensing Band varies depending on the
water quality. When using IV cables, wire the Sensing Band to
the length specified in the following table.
(6) Mount the 61F-WLA Water Leak Alarm/Detector on a sturdy wall
surface which is not subjected to vibration or shock. Do not use
double-sided adhesive tape, otherwise, the Detector may detach
when the adhesive tape deteriorates due to aging.
(7) When wiring the Sensor on conductive objects like metal objects,
use the F03-16.
(8) When measuring insulation resistance, do not conduct a megger
test between the electrode terminals.
