Self-Diagnostic System – SDS

Backwater protection goes digital

Always ready for action thanks to self-diagnosis

Backflow preventers with motor-driven shut-off mechanisms are tried-and-tested, reliable solutions for protecting people and their property from water backing up from the sewer system. With a high-quality backflow preventer that is regularly inspected and maintained in accordance with regulations, you can avoid the risk of your building being flooded. 

Digitalisation further enhances safety. Backflow preventers equipped with this technology feature a plug-in ready Comfort control unit with an SDS self-diagnostic system, a display showing operating status and maintenance instructions, as well as a connection option for central control systems. 

It can be connected without the assistance of a qualified electrician. The control and alarm unit, with its integrated self-diagnostic system, thus provides additional safety – in addition to the prescribed maintenance intervals. It carries out regular functional tests, stores the results in a readable log book and displays the current operating status of the backflow preventer as well as notifications of necessary maintenance work on the display. This means that faults are displayed even before the next inspection. 

The battery backup of the plug-in ready switching and alarm unit also ensures that the motor-driven shut-off mechanisms close securely and tightly even in the event of a power failure, and that users are alerted to the backwater via an alarm. 

Features

  • Weekly, automatic self-diagnosis of the connected moving components  
  • Continuous monitoring of all electrical components and alarm activation in the event of faults 
  • Continuous monitoring of the battery voltage to ensure safe operation even in the event of a power failure. If the battery voltage drops to a critical level, an alarm is triggered and the motor-driven shut-off device closes automatically. This ensures reliable protection against backwater even during prolonged power failures
