Abstract

The present invention describes a leakage detector system ( 1 ) comprising a sensor unit ( 2 ), said sensor unit ( 2 ) comprising a moisture sensor ( 20 ) and a transmitter, said leakage detector system also comprising an enclosing material 3 embedding the sensor unit ( 2 ).

Claims (24)

1 . Leakage detector system comprising a sensor unit, said sensor unit comprising a moisture sensor and a transmitter, said leakage detector system also comprising an enclosing material embedding the sensor unit.

2 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosing material is an embedment arrangement, preferably a hermetically sealing.

3 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is arranged to enable to send a signal through the enclosing material.

4 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosing material is at least a part of a moisture barrier.

5 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the leakage detector system also comprises a charging unit comprising a battery, said charging unit arranged to enable charging of the sensor unit.

6 . Leakage detector system according to claim 5 , wherein the sensor unit is arranged on a sealed side of a moisture barrier and wherein the charging unit is arranged on the other side of the moisture barrier.

7 . Leakage detector system according to claim 5 , wherein there is a wire connection between the charging unit and the sensor unit.

8 . Leakage detector system according to claim 5 , wherein there is a wireless connection between the charging unit and the sensor unit, preferably provided with key charging technology.

9 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit comprises a chargeable battery or a supercapacitor.

10 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the leakage detector system is arranged with blue-tooth low energy (BLE) technology.

11 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit is connected to a network bridge arranged to transfer data sent from the transmitter of the sensor unit.

12 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture sensor is a passive sensor, preferably which is activated when getting into contact with moisture.

13 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the leakage detector system is arranged to send a signal to the sensor unit to perform a measurement and send measurement data from the transmitter of the sensor unit to a receiver unit.

14 . Leakage detector system according to claim 13 , wherein the receiver unit and the charging unit is one and the same unit.

15 . Leakage detector system according to claim 13 , wherein the leakage detector system is arranged to send a signal to the sensor unit to perform a measurement and send measurement data from the transmitter of the sensor unit to a receiver unit based on the existence of another external event, such as when a shower unit has been operated, water has been fed into a system, or the like.

16 . Leakage detector system according to claim 5 , wherein the charging unit is arranged with a wifi connection to send data.

17 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture sensor is a near-field communication (NFC) sensor.

18 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit also comprises a temperature sensor.

19 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture sensor is arranged on a sealed side of a moisture barrier in close proximity to a floor drain unit.

20 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit comprises one or more sensor wires.

21 . Leakage detector system according to claim 20 , wherein said one or more sensor wires is arranged around feed tubing.

22 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein there is a protection holder arranged between the moisture sensor and the enclosing material.

23 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the leakage detector system is arranged on top of a floor material, e.g. concrete, and embedded in a layer of screed with the moisture barrier arranged on top of the layer of screed.

24 . Leakage detector system according to claim 1 , wherein the leakage detector system comprises at least two moisture sensors.
