What the TrolMaster Touch Spot Set Adds
A WD-1 water detector module ships with a single Touch Spot, which is the sensing pad itself. One pad watches one place, and a room usually has more than one place worth watching. This set is the second pad plus the splitter that lets both run from the same module. Two parts come in the box, one Touch Spot and one T-Splitter Touch Spot. The splitter is what makes it work, because the module itself has one port. Connection is plug and play, so no addressing or configuration is involved. The set sits in the Aqua-X Irrigation Control System family. Working range is 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit at ninety percent humidity or below. Packed dimensions are 156 by 83 by 30 mm, which TrolMaster also give as 6.1 by 3.3 by 1.2 inches. Its barcode is 6970207970625.
Choosing Where the Second Detection Point Goes
A second detection point is only worth adding where a leak would go unnoticed. The obvious first pad sits under the reservoir, because that is the biggest single volume. The second one earns its place at the lowest point of the room instead. Water finds the floor drain or the lowest corner, whichever comes first. A pad there catches a slow leak from anywhere in the system, not only from the tank. Pump manifolds and filter housings are the other candidates. Both fail at a joint and both fail slowly, which is the kind of leak a pad is good at. Lay the pad flat on a hard floor rather than on matting. Matting wicks and holds water away from the contacts, so an alarm comes late or not at all. Test it with a splash after installation and after any room wash-down. A pad that has sat dry for months is worth proving rather than trusting. That test takes a minute and it is the only way to know the alarm path works.
