The SN-3005-SJ-NO1 is a photoelectric water sensor with RS485 Modbus-RTU communication and relay output, designed for integration with PLCs, industrial control systems, and data acquisition units. It detects liquid immersion down to 1mm and is fully sealed to IP68 for long-term submersion in various fluids.

Features

  • Detects liquid immersion with 1mm sensitivity for water, gasoline, alcohol, and coolants.
  • IP68-rated, fully sealed enclosure for reliable long-term submersion.
  • Dual output interface: RS485 Modbus-RTU communication and a relay (NO contact).
  • Corrosion-resistant housing with L-bracket for versatile vertical/horizontal mounting.
  • Configurable sensitivity via PC software (250–800 range) to minimize false alarms.

Description

The SN-3005-SJ-NO1 operates on a photoelectric sensing principle, detecting changes in light refraction or absorption at the sensor tip when submerged. This allows it to sense a wide range of conductive and insulating liquids with high precision. The sensor incorporates signal conditioning electronics to provide a stable digital output via the integrated RS485 interface.

Housed in a corrosion-resistant, IP68-sealed enclosure, the sensor is engineered for durability in harsh industrial environments, with an operating temperature range suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The built-in relay provides a dry contact output for direct alarm triggering or control system integration, while the RS485 Modbus-RTU protocol enables networked monitoring and data logging.

Key Features

  • High-precision photoelectric detection for multiple liquid types, including insulating fluids.
  • Robust IP68 waterproof construction ensures reliable performance under full immersion.
  • Integrated RS485 interface with Modbus-RTU protocol for industrial network connectivity.
  • Supplementary relay output (Normally Open contact) for direct alarm or control circuit interfacing.
  • Multi-status LED indicator provides clear visual feedback for normal, water-detected, or fault conditions.
  • Corrosion-resistant sensor body and L-shaped mounting bracket enable flexible, secure installation.
  • User-configurable sensitivity adjustment via dedicated PC software to optimize for specific environments.
  • High-value build designed for critical leak detection in data centers, telecom rooms, and industrial cabinets.

Applications

  • Leak detection and flood monitoring in data centers, server rooms, and telecom equipment cabinets.
  • Liquid level monitoring for insulating fluids in transformers, switchgear, and industrial machinery.
  • Water ingress detection in below-floor cable ducts, basements, and library archives.
  • Process leak monitoring in chemical plants, fuel storage areas, and coolant circulation systems.
  • Integration into Building Management Systems (BMS) and industrial PLC networks for automated alarm triggering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the SN-3005-SJ-NO1 sensor?

The sensor operates on a wide-range DC supply of 10 to 30 volts. This makes it compatible with standard 12V and 24V industrial power systems. Ensure your power source is stable and within this range for reliable operation.

How do I communicate with and configure this sensor?

Communication is via the built-in RS485 interface using the Modbus-RTU protocol. You will need a USB-to-RS485 converter and the manufacturer's PC software to connect, read the water detection status, and adjust parameters like sensitivity (within the 250-800 range). The relay output provides a simple dry contact for direct alarm integration.

Can this sensor detect liquids other than water?

Yes, the photoelectric sensing principle allows it to detect a variety of conductive and insulating liquids, including gasoline, alcohol, and coolants. Its IP68 rating ensures the sealed enclosure can withstand long-term submersion in these fluids without damage.

What does the LED status indicator show?

The multi-color LED provides visual status feedback: it indicates normal operation (no water), water detection (sensor tip submerged), or a system fault. This allows for quick on-site diagnostics without needing to check the communication interface.

How is the sensor physically installed?

The sensor includes an L-shaped mounting bracket for versatile installation. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally on walls, panels, or inside equipment cabinets. The corrosion-resistant, threaded body is designed for secure placement in the monitored area.
