Common Concerns Answered
Are the wire leads on the Albin Group Digital High Water Alarm long enough for all installations?
The included 152mm (6") wire leads are suitable for many installations. For longer runs, extension wiring can be incorporated using appropriate marine-grade connectors and techniques.
Is the audible alarm loud enough on this high water alarm?
The integrated piezo buzzer provides a distinct audible alert. While some users may prefer a higher decibel output, its clarity is designed to be noticeable within the vessel's ambient noise levels.
Is the initial cost of the Albin Group Digital High Water Alarm higher than other options?
While the initial investment may exceed that of basic float switches, the advanced digital sensing technology, inherent reliability, and significantly reduced maintenance requirements offer superior long-term value and operational peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Albin Group Digital High Water Alarm work?
It employs digital field sensing technology. When water reaches the sensor's activation level, it triggers an electrical field change that is interpreted by the digital circuitry, activating both a visual LED and an audible piezo buzzer on the control panel without mechanical contact.
What voltage is required for the Albin Group Digital High Water Alarm?
This unit is designed to operate on a standard 12V DC marine electrical system.
Is the Albin Group Digital High Water Alarm suitable for use with oil or debris in the bilge?
Yes, the fully sealed sensor is highly resistant to oil and debris, making it significantly more reliable in typical bilge environments compared to float switches which can become fouled or obstructed.
What is included with the Albin Group Digital High Water Alarm?
The package includes the digital bilge sensor, a 12V display panel with LED and piezo alarm, 152mm (6") wire leads, a fuse, and a fuse holder for a complete installation.
What are the dimensions of the Albin Group Digital High Water Alarm's wire leads?
The included wire leads measure 152mm (6") in length.
