Aquaguard 96124 Drain Pan Primary Sensor Time Delay 24VAC

Product Description

The AQUAGUARD 96124 is a primary drain pan sensor with integrated time delay, designed for condensate management in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It operates on 0 to 24 volts AC at up to 5 amps and features an LED indicator light that confirms water detection at a glance. The compact, waterproof housing accepts both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations, giving installers flexibility in tight equipment spaces. The time delay function prevents nuisance shutdowns from brief condensate contact, making it well suited for high-efficiency cooling equipment where drain pan moisture levels can fluctuate during normal operation.

This sensor is installed in the primary or secondary condensate drain pan of a split system air conditioner, fan coil, air handler, or similar cooling equipment. When condensate rises to the sensor probe level, the unit signals the system to shut down, protecting ceilings, walls, and flooring from water damage. The included bonus secondary sensor expands coverage to a second drain pan location without requiring an additional control device, which is particularly useful in attic or closet installations where both the primary and auxiliary pans need monitoring.

Key Features

• Operates on 0 to 24 volts AC at 5 amps, compatible with standard low-voltage HVAC control circuits
• Integrated time delay reduces nuisance trips caused by brief or incidental condensate contact
• LED indicator light provides immediate visual confirmation of water detection
• Compact waterproof housing rated for installation inside drain pan environments
• Horizontal and vertical mounting options accommodate varied equipment orientations
• Includes bonus secondary sensor for simultaneous primary and auxiliary pan monitoring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation sensor for residential and light commercial HVAC systems equipped with primary or secondary condensate drain pans.

Installation Notes

This sensor is typically installed by a licensed HVAC technician as part of a condensate overflow protection circuit. Disconnect power to the air handler or fan coil at the disconnect switch or breaker before wiring the sensor into the low-voltage control circuit. Secure the sensor to the drain pan using the appropriate mounting orientation for the installation, ensuring the probe is positioned to detect rising condensate before it overflows. Follow local mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC low-voltage wiring requirements, when routing and terminating control wiring.
