Wireless Water Leak Sensor

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.

Key features

• Continuous sensing cable up to 50 m

• LoRa radio link up to 1 km line of sight

• AES-128 encrypted payloads

• Pairs with the FWL1600-01 LoRa card

• No cabling; pairing takes seconds

• Low-battery warning per node

Connectivity

• LoRa link up to 1 km with AES-128 encryption

• Quick pairing with the FWL1600-01 receiver card

• Sensor-fault and low-battery warnings before the cell dies

Where it is used

• Server rooms, data centres and UPS rooms

• Under raised floors and along chiller pipework

• Plant rooms and mechanical services areas

• Warehouses, document archives and storage vaults

• Production lines and water transfer routes

• Protecting sensitive equipment from floor flooding

Installation

Lay the sensing cable on the floor at the lowest point of the protected area, along the path water would naturally take.
