Batteryless thanks to CLEAN-Boost™ technology**
CLEAN-Boost™ technology uses microwatt energy sources to autonomously generate electricity from leaking water and transmit water leak signals wirelessly.
Batteryless operation provides flexible layout for installation.
Basic Configuration

Weak power obtained from sensor ribbons is stored,
boosted, and wirelessly transmitted to notify of leaks.

Generates a weak electrical current when wet.
Can be linked with other ribbons.
Mechanism
![]()
Water absorbed into the sensor ribbon and the metal electrode woven into the sensor ribbon react to generate a tiny amount of electricity. The transmitter tag uses CLEAN-Boost™ technology to accumulate and boost tiny amounts of electricity and drive a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) module to notify water leaks via wireless transmission. As long as the sensor ribbon is wet, it will continue accumulation, boosting and transmission.
Features

Detects leaks of a few water drops.
(Transmit signal time: Less than 5 minutes for tap water)

Bluetooth® Low Enegy 5.0 beacon signal.
LoRa® model is currently under development.

Easily Identifes the source of a water leak with a unique tag ID

FAQ
- How long does it take from the time the sensor ribbon gets wet to the time of radio transmission?
- Does the length of the sensor ribbon affect the time until radio transmission?
- Is it possible to detect liquids and leaks other than water?
- Is it possible to detect condensation?
- How long is the life of the sensor ribbon/radio tag? Can they be used repeatedly?
- Can sensor ribbons be cut to the required length?
- How is the sensor ribbon fixed?
- I would like to borrow a demo unit of the batteryless leak sensor for functional evaluation.
