Here's little unit I thought might be of interest
to anyone building.
I wanted to install something to detect any water
leaking in to my K-350's battery pods and the three thruster pods
before it creates a problem with operations.
I fooled around with a few circuits but they were
either to sensitive or not sensitive enough. I came across this little
unit on the net and ordered it. It sells for around $30 including a nine
volt battery and shipping.
I made my own sensors, which are no more then a
piece of copper in each pod, and ran wires to the unit in the hull where I can
switch to "All pods" or select each pod separately to determine where the leak
is. The only things I needed to add to the unit were a on/off switch,
a selector switch and a diode in the line from each pod.
Cheap and it works well,
Dan H.
