A system for detecting the presence of moisture

摘要

The system comprises at least one electronic sensor for detecting the presence of moisture. The system further comprises at least one reading device for obtaining information from the sensor about the presence of moisture. The sensor comprises a resonant circuit which is at least partly formed from a moisture sensitive material, the electrical resistance of which increases when the material comes into contact with moisture. The reading device comprises transmitter-receiver means for generating an elecromagnetic interrogation field.
