The OS-250 system detects spills and leaks with as little as three drops of liquid. The system consists of a moisture sensing mat and control unit. The mat is connected to the control unit by a simple connection cable. When liquid is detected on the sensing mat the controller will sound an audible alarm, flash an LED, and turn off the power of any device plugged into the single outlet, solid state power controller. The switched power outlet can control up to 8 amps. The system is supplied with the controller and four reusable 30 × 30 cm mats that can be cut to any size with a sharp scissors or knife. It also includes the connector cable between the mat and the controller.
