Moisture Detector

To ensure the performance characteristics of fiber optic transmission lines, the presence of water, and in particular, ice must be detected and corrected. To accomplish this effectively and economically, TX Technology Corporation has developed a Fiber Optic Moisture Detector, which operates on the principle that upon contact with any water-based liquid or spray, a sharp decrease in resistance will occur. The sensor which is normally open (high electrical resistance) will quickly read short in the presence of water. The moisture detector is well suited for most applications.
