Early Warning of Leaks tored, and alerts users with an audible and visual alarm for a minimum of 24 hours when contact is made with a liquid.

It is easy to use - just switch it on and place it into position.

Designed for use with all essential and common liquid hazard- ous substances, the explosion-proof SpillGuard features intel- ligent, robust sensor technology in a highly resistant, electri- cally conductive housing. The battery lasts up to 5 years and provides an audible signal to alert users of the need to replace it. Ideal for use with temperatures from 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C), with a red LED light to indicate that the unit is op- erating safely. In stock for immediate shipment, SpillGuard
