DEVICE FOR DETECTING AND ERADICATING A LEAKAGE AND/OR STRAY CURRENT IN/FROM A WATER BODY
A device for detecting and potentially eradicating a leakage voltage from a water body comprises at least one wire sensor probe to receive the leakage voltage in the water body. The device comprises a voltage sensing circuit operable for receive the leakage voltage, and generate a voltage signal based on the leakage voltage. The device comprises a trigger circuit to receive the voltage signal, based on magnitude of the voltage signal being greater than a predefined threshold value. The trigger circuit activates an alarm circuit, and activates a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker, in response to activation of the circuit breaker, disconnects a power supply from the at least one voltage source immersed in the water body, thereby eradicating the leakage current from the water body if the leakage voltage is caused by the activated circuit breaker. The alarm circuit, in response to activation of the alarm circuit, alerts a human being about presence of the leakage voltage in the water body.
Floating apparatus for alerting people of the presence of voltage in water
A floating apparatus for alerting people of the presence of voltage in water. When the floating apparatus is placed in water and in an active state, it detects when at least a threshold level of voltage is present in the water and generates an alert signal in response to detecting the threshold level of voltage is present. The floating apparatus may detect the threshold level of voltage is present without requiring that a ground wire be connected between an electrical circuit of the floating apparatus and a fixed structure exterior of the water such as soil surrounding the water.
Shock detector
A shock detector for determining the existence of a voltage gradient in a body of water, which may be remote from a structure and providing an alarm when the voltage gradient comprises a hazardous electrical condition that could injure or kill are person coming into contact with the body of water.
System and method for automatically detecting unauthorized entry into a pool
A system and method for automatically detecting unauthorized entry into a pool requiring no user involvement, and having a high degree of accuracy. The system comprises a plurality of light beam emitter devices and a plurality of light beam receiver devices positioned along an interior perimeter of the pool and a processor in communication with the plurality of light beam emitter devices and the plurality of light beam receiver devices. The plurality of light beam emitter devices emit a plurality of light beams and the plurality of light beam receiver devices receive a plurality of emitted light beams to form a grid extending across a the pool. Additionally, the processor monitors the grid, detects unauthorized entry into the pool based on an interruption of the grid, and generates and transmits an alarm message based on whether a level of the interruption of the grid exceeds a predetermined threshold.
Pool monitor
A battery powered do-it-yourself (DIY) swimming pool sensor and alarm unit that is removably mounted in a floating assembly. The sensor monitors movement in the pool and around the pool deck and provides remote video alerts to designated cell phones as well as a localized audible and visual alarm when motion is detected. It has an above waterline camera and a below waterline camera that provides a video feed for further remote investigation. It utilizes a float stabilizing means to ensure the floating assembly is not capsized by large waves or wind. It cannot be defeated because of its floating location, and can be simply installed and set up by the average homeowner. Optionally, it has sensors that monitor the pool water's chemistry and provides the results to an owner's cell phone or to a remote chemical dispensing unit located at the pool.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF AN ALARM STATE IN A BODY OF WATER
A system and method for the detection of events such as drowning and/or unauthorized entry to a body of water by use of a hydrophone based system and signal processing techniques.
Shock detector
A shock detector for determining the existence of a voltage gradient in a body of water, which may be remote from a structure and providing an alarm when the voltage gradient is a hazardous electrical condition that could injure or kill a person coming into contact with the body of water.
Stray voltage detection system for protecting against electric shock drowning
A stray voltage detection system for detecting a stray voltage in pool water within a pool The system comprises a pair of elongate conductive elements, with one of the elongate conductive elements having a detector electrode end and a terminal end, and with the other elongate conductive element having a reference electrode end and a terminal end. The detector electrode end is positioned adjacent to an electrical fixture within the pool and the reference electrode end is positioned opposite from the detector electrode end. The terminal ends are connected to a microprocessor for measuring a voltage between the detector electrode end and reference electrode end. A voltage detection system for a pier, with the system having a pair of elongate conductive elements attached to a pair of corresponding pier pilings on opposite sides of a pier deck, and with the pair of conductive elements for measuring a voltage between the conductive elements.
