Water Leak Sensor
The Water Leak Sensor from Fidar Electronics detects water anywhere along a sensing cable of up to 50 m. It connects to a FIDAQUIRE data logger over a daisy-chained CANopen bus.
Continuous sensing cable up to 50 m
Detects a leak anywhere along the cable
Immediate alarm to protect sensitive equipment
RJ45 output on a CANopen bus
Daisy-chains up to 64 sensors per card
Works with the FBC0232-01 card and FIDAQUIRE logger
Up to 500 m of bus at 125 kbit/s
Power and data share one cable
A water leak sensor works with a continuous sensing cable: contact with water anywhere along its length raises the alarm at once. Unlike a spot probe, which only sees where it happens to sit, the cable covers up to 50 m and can be run around racks, under a raised floor, alongside chiller pipework or around a UPS room. In a server room the difference between minutes of warning and losing the whole room is exactly where and when the water is seen.
